THE FOURTH AT RELIANCE
r The following article was published in the Bryan Eagle, July 8, 1895:
The fourth of July was not forgotten by the people of Reliance community, and
while they did not celebrate that memorable occasion with big firecrackers,
shooting cannon and brass bands, nevertheless they celebrated, and the Eagle
man is here to say that the people of Reliance are well up in the art of cele-
brating. We left Bryan early Thursday morning and went out to Mr. NEWCOMB's
where we joined his family and proceeded to the picnic grounds at Beauman creek
bridge near the old Beauman school house. After looking out for the comfort of
the teams we went down and joined the crowd which had already assembled and had
commenced to enjoy the pleasures of a social converse with their friends from
different sections. Getting acquainted was an easy task, and by the way, allow
me to say that the handshake of a Reliance man is about as strong as the grip
of the coming 96 candidate. There was no program, everyone being allowed the
privilege of enjoying themselves, according to their own ideas.
Mr. MORGAN, the popular ginner of that section served the finest of ice cold
lemonade to everyone on the ground, free of charge. He remarked to the Eagle
man that in serving lemonade he was paying off a score which had been held
against him since the close of the past ginning season. It seems that Mr.
MORGAN was eager to make a big run at his gin and agreed to stand "treats"
if he turned out 800 bales. He "set'em up!" The record for the season was
930 bales.
After noon the boxes and big baskets of good things were carried from the
wagons and buggies to the grove where they were taken in charge by the ladies
who soon transferred the food in a most inviting manner to white table cloths
spread on the ground. Everyone was invited to dinner and after they had gath-
erd and Rev. BULLOCK had returned thanks for the bountiful spread, the work of
destruction commenced.
Allen MYERS, the hardware man was there, and did justice to the occasion.
After dinner the people rested up, talked some more and broke up about 3 o'clock.
We are indebted to these people for a good time, and the good will of the Eagle
is theirs.
A BIG HUNT
This story was also recorded in the July 8, 1895 issue of the Bryan Eagle:
Two things make up the value of an article, first the subject, and second, what
is said about it. My subject is simply an ordinary hunt -- camp -hunt, dry enough
and interesting of itself, but the thing I want to tell you about is what grew
out of the hunt, or more properly speaking, the incidents of the hunt.
Did you ever go on a hunt? Well, let me tell you what it takes to "make a
hunt." Beer -- plenty of it-- something a little bit stronger (snakes abound
you know), "grub°' lots of it, bedding, dogs, guns, amminunition, horses and
men, and the result of the hunt depends largely on the latter.
123
124
'All these, and more too, we got together and at exactly 11 p. m. we started for
Allen creek four miles East of Wellborn. Our party consisted of T. C. NUNN,
R. M. NALL, M. G. NALL, Mr. FERYBE, V. H. NALL and a colored cook. Our first
stop was at College where we were joined by Billie BOYETT, the getter up of the
hunt and to whom we are indebted for the best hunt of season. After par-
taking of a dinner prepared by Mrs. BOYETT, just such a dinner as secures the
lasting gratitude and eternal appreciation of hungry men, we " ? us to the wild
wood" and went into camp. Then fun began.
In a short time we were out in the woods and had a deer "trap." Several of our
hunters "tried to get a shot" at it but no powder was burnt. Then back to camp
and supper. This was the first chance we had had to test the quantity and qual-
ity of our commissary. But it was there in superfluous redundancy. And let me
say right here that when you want to go on a hunt, just let Bnggy NALL do the
buying and you will have just plenty of grub and the best selection that can be
made. He is a hustler and don't you forget it. Why Mr. Editor thinks he is as
good in fixing for a hunt as he is in talking and you know that gives him the
feather.
I forgot at the proper place to tell you of our trip from College to the camp.
In fact, only one thing occured worthy of mention. On the way down one of our
party was overcome with heat, superinduced by a lack of cold water and other
causes. Some of our party at first thought the attack was fatal but after exam-
ining his pulse and making other examinations we all decided he would be better
after awhile; in fact, he assured us that such would be the case, and it was.
In the absence of a physician to properly diaganose the case we called it "temp-
orary failure of the principal muscles of the legs" brought on by causes that
seldom produce fatal results. Billie BOYETT declared at the time that he had .
never seen a fatal case. Thus reassured we went on to camp where a good nap and
a strong cup of coffee drove the heat ( ?) from our friend "s body and brought him
around alright, minus a bruised rib or two. The next morning we were joined by
Mr. Dutch WILLIAMS and his son and another man whose name I cannot remember.
The first drive we made, we, that is Mr. WILLIAMS, killed a fine buck, the only
one killed on the hunt, and from that time on we had the best "eating" you ever
saw.
Thursday evening one of our party went out somewhere, I do not know where, and
bought ( ?) some chickens and had the cook prepare four for supper. Now this ain
no lie! Ed FARQUHAR and that little fellow FREYBE ate three of them before the
rest of us got back to camp. Yes sir, "them two" fellows ate three whole twenty
cent chickens at one time, just one and a half chicken each. Gospel truth, and
strange to say, they are both living yet. Moral: chickens won't kill on a camp
hunt.
Friday the lawyer contingency of our party went out to Wellborn to attend .Judge
LASKI's court and left the rest hunting. He returned the same day, flushed with
victory -- having won his case- -and with a fresh supply of ice and other things that
had run "short."
Well, we just hunted right on until 4 p. m. Saturday, then "struck camp" and
started to Bryan, all voting the hunt a success and each declaring he had enjoyed
himself better than ever before.
The crops we saw, and we saw several, axe all fine, especially the corn. All that
stuff about short crops in that part of the country at least, is the conclusion of
those who have not been on the ground and seen them as your scribe has. They are
immense sure. One thing we especially noted the farther you go from town the better
and cleaner the crops are. Why this? Damfino

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE__��r
Ten months are behind us and only two
yet to go to finish the 1988 year. We
have had seven interesting programs
and three excellent workshops.
One hundred and six people registered
for the Everton Press Workshop held
on October 8. The number of people
is impressive but the distance they
traveled to attend is even more im-
pressive. Only forty -five were from
Bryan /College Station; the remaining
sixty Texans came from places like La
Marque, Houston, Victoria, Austin,
Temple, Fort Worth, Palestine, Trin-
ity and seventeen other places in the
State. The person who traveled far-
thest came from Moore, Oklahoma.
Most of us found some new sources of
genealogical information and a new
way to do genealogy research.
EDITORIAL___
Your ADVERTISER has been fortunate
in receiving several outside sub-
scriptions this year, the latest be-
ing no less prestigious an organiza-
tion than the Library of Congress,
for two years! Congratulations to
all of you whose work has made this
house organ what it is.
So far we have been receiving enough
material from our members and from
outside sources, but it is apparent
that we need more active people on
our staff as well. We can use any
one who is prepared to supply an
article now and then tit need not be
his own creation). But it would be
especially helpful if someone with
an IBM PC for compatible) would vol-
unteer, to help ye Ed. with some of
the more technical aspects of com-
positing. , (You don't need a printer
or software; we can supply that.)
A special thanks goes to Mary BELL as
chairman of the workshop committee,
and to Doris FRANCESCHINI, Anna HAL-
LARAN, Peggy HOPE, Janis HUNT, Maxine
MILLER, Nina NOBLES, Marie VICK, Tom-
mie MADDOX and Harry PORTZER for
their help. We also are indebted to
Eleanor NANCE in her capacity as a
friend of the A & M Library for her
assistance in arranging a meeting
place.
Progress in publishing the Brazos
County Cemetery Records is slow. The
cemetery information is finished, but
the index and directions to the ceme-
teries are not complete. Don SIMONS
has furnished me a copy of the ceme-
tery information alphabetized and
keyed to the appropriate cemetery,
hence not needing an index. This is
a useful way to publish this type of
information and should be considered
by the publication committee.
The ADVERTISER staff headed by Harry
PORTZER is to be congratulated. They
continue to do an excellent job.
QUERIES: We still need them! Please
send or give yours to the Ed. or one
of the staff.
ANCESTOR CHARTS: See how neatly pre-
pared is the one for Ruth JONES HARY
and Janis JONES HUNT in this issue.
The ADVERTISER staff had hardly any-
thing to do to get it "camera- ready"
for copying. If yours has not been
published heretofore, now is the big
chance you've been waiting for to
see your ancestors in print!

Welsh Genealogy
The high incidence of common surnames and the use of patro-
nymics make Welsh genealogy difficult. Help may be obtained
from the Honourable Society of Cymmrodorion, 115 Newgate
Street, London EC1A 7AE, England. Births, marriages and deaths
from 1537 are registered in the General Register Office at
St. Catherine's House, London, see 1. above. L1 fr ell
Genedlaithol Cymru (The National Library of Wales), Aberystwyth
SY23 3BU, Wales has a number of parish and non - parochial
registers and transcripts, wills, tithe records and personal
and estate papers. Please note that the three chief groups of
records relevant to Welsh genealogy in the Public Record Office,
see 4. above, are the census returns, non - conformist registers
and wills.
6. Coats of Arms /Crests
There are no British "family crests." A crest is part of a
Coat of Arms and there is no Coat of Arms for a surname in
general. Despite the commercial practice of selling reproduc-
tions of Coats of Arms alleged to belong to a family name, the
Law of Arms is that correct and lawful entitlement to a Coat
of Arms is acquired by grant from the proper authority or by
direct inheritance (normally in the direct male line) from the
person to whom the Arms were originally granted.
7. County Record Offices and Other Places of Deposit

(This is a continuation of the ALEXANDER CHURCH FOUNDING)
(article by the same author, which was concluded on page)
(106 of #3, this same Volume IX of the "ADVERTISER'.)
According to the oldest citizens, there were several small school buil-
dings on the Church property, at different times between 1850 and 1900. The
one that most remember best stood at the bottom of the hill near the bridge.
Judge BOARD taught there for two years, also served as reporter to the E .7gle
for the community. An article published in it stated that the people of
Alexander were afraid of education, because they put everything else first!
Early pupils in this school were: Ella Holden BLANTON, Carrie HOLDEN,
Mattie and Ridge THOMPSON, Daisy RAINEY, Mary LEATHERS, Barbara and Effie
FULLERTON, Emma PURCELL, Mandy PARKER, Stella COVINGTON, Horace and Willie
BOYETT, Will and Jack STALLING.
Other teachers during these years were: Miss Elvira JACKSON, Miss Let -
tie BOGGS, Captain J. A. HESTER, J. W. BANDY, Minnie Brogdon BROACH, E. C.
ROLLINS. Between 1900 and 1925 teachers were: J. R. COBB, Bessie STALLINGS,
Willie BOYETT, A. S. McSWAIN, Mina GRAHAM, Emma MONTGOMERY, Myrtle McCOL-
LOUGH, Bessie RISINGER, Maude RISINGER, S_ BENBOW, Evie Gilpin HEARNE, Ola

' LETTERS FROM CHILDREN IN BRAZOS COUNTY
compiled by Bill Page
Relatively few genealogists have extensive collections of family
papers or letters to draw on in their research. Although a great
deal of information can be gleaned from county and other official
records, the lack of family papers presents many problems for the
family historian. In most cases little can be done to remedy
this situation, but there is one possible source that has been
largely overlooked. During the late nineteenth and early
twentieth centuries "children's columns" were a common feature in
many large newspapers and state agricultural magazines. These
columns are generally forgotten. As far as I can determine, no
indexes have been prepared for them.
The format of the columns seems to have been fairly uniform.
They were generally edited by an "aunt" and "uncle" or a "grand-
mother" and "grandfather,f and the children were usually referred
to as "cousins." Children from across the state, and sometimes
from out of the state, would send letters to the columns. Topics
discussed varied, but emphasis was usually placed on moral and
academic education. Some columns included short fiction or
poetry, which was frequently written by the children.
The contents of the letters vary. Some are very brief and of
little interest. A few of the letters contain aenealogical
information. The majority of the letters contain brief bio-
graphical information, personal opinions, and added information
about hobbies, pets, and educational experiences. In other words,
the letters tend to be useful in writing family histories, but
probably won't solve many problems with pedigrees.
Two letters have been included as examples of what may be found.
First sample letter:
Dear Aunt Sallie and Cousins:
As I have been a silent reader of the League for some time
and found it so interesting, I have decided to write a few
lines. This is my first attempt to write. I am a little
Texas girl, fifteen years old. I live five miles from
Wellborn. I have a pair of canary birds, they keep me
company when I am lonesome. I like to go to school when it
does not last too long. My teacher's name is Prof. Meriott.
I like him very much, because he is so kind to us. Our
school house is in a pretty place, in the edge of the woods.
Well I will close, with best wishes for the League.
Fannie Royder, Wellborn, Texas
( Texas Farm and Ranch 24 August 1895, page 16)
Second sample letter:
f
Wellborn, Texas -- Dear Haphammer: I live in Brazos County
near the banks of the Brazos River. The nearest town of any
size is Bryan.
The Agricultural and Mechanical College is just six miles
from where I live.
My father is a cattleman and we live on a ranch. I am 11
years old and have three brothers and two sisters. I am
next to the oldest.
Papa lets us milk the cows in the afternoon. One of the
little calves is called Blossom and my little brother says
that Blossom belongs to him.
We have a little puppy and we named him Snyder. We play
with him all the time, but my little brother is afraid of
him; when the puppy tries to play brother runs in.-the house
and won't go out until some of us go with him.
My mother has been dead
