FROM THE PRESIDENT'S CORNER I ;"
We have come to the close of another yearand I am glad to report that we are working l
on a few projects that we should be able to complete in the upcoming year. Our CD- :~
ROM containing original and updated information 'on Brazos County Cemeteries is
progressing well and hopefully soon we will have a membership brochure available for
distribution in the local community. I would like to express my thanks again to our officers
who served this, past year as well as al,l our members who contributed to this year's
programs - together everyone made the Brazos Genealogical Association work.
Next year I hope we will be able to add to the initial success of our library research trips.
The outing to the Clayton Library was enjoyed by many of our members and any trip to the
TAMUlibrary always teaches us more of its resources than we had previously known. This
year's presentationattheMasonic Library in CoUegeStation was superb and I hopethat
we can work with their librarian to conduct a "working" meeting at their facility in order to
take advantage of the resources there. We were not able to generate a Carnegie
Centennial Calendar for 2003, but I hope that we might be able to accomplish something
to recognize and celebrate this historical event in our community.
I would like to extend a special Holiday greeting to aU our members and their families.
If you travel, over the holidays to visit family, friends or to conduct research, then take care
and we will see each other again in January.

The Forgotten President
by John BLAIR
When Lawrence Sullivan ROSS WqS appointed the new president of the Agricultural and
Mechanical College of Texas on July 1,1890, his selection did not pecome effective until
the following year on February 1, 1891. During this seven-monthperiodthe responsibilities
of the presidency of the college were given to William Stuart Lorraine BRINGHURST, the
"Forgotten President.".' -
BRINGHURST was born at Alexandria, ,Louisiana on August 27, 1844, the third son of
Augustus L. BRINGHURST and hisV\{ife, Maria Louise WATERS. At the age of sixteen he
entered preparatory classes at th~, Louisiana State Seminary of Learning & Military
Academy, only three-quarters of a mile from his home, where Colonel Wi lIiam Tecumseh
SHERMAN was Superintendent. BRINGHURST recalled:
"A few days after the school was opened the drilling of the boys began, and
SHERMAN assisted much in this work. We were an untutored set and often
provoked the disgust of the 'Officers. Some of us, indeed, made such slow
progress that an awkward squad was formed of which I was a prominent
member, being placed thereby SHERMAN's oV\{n direction."
From these "awkward" beginnings, BRINGHURST soon became a corporal in the cadet
corps; and, as he would claim, "ample amends were made for my previous humiliation."
BRINGHURST would later share post-war memories of SHERMAN in 1896:
135
"Judging him as a soldier, I would pronounce him to have been brilliant in
strategy, swift and dangerous in action, yet destructive upon an enfeebled
enemy beyond what the necessity of conquering required."
When war came in the spring of 1861, activitiesofthe school were suspended. Most of the
faculty and students simply traveled home where some soon joined the swelling ranks of
the army. The school reopened briefly in 1862, but was again closed. It is possible that
BRINGHURST remained home in Alexandria during this tillleor perhaps joined a local
militia unit. On September 22, 1862 he enlisted at Alexandria as a private in Company I of
the Consolidated Crescent Regiment of Louisiana Infantry. Since this unit was officially
formed at Simmesport, Louisiana on November 2, 1863, it is likely that BRINGHURST was
a member of one ofthe units that eventually became a part ofthisconsolidation - either
the 11 th ,Infantry Battalion, the Confederate Guards Response Battalion or the Crescent
Infantry Regiment.
After the fall of New Orleans in April 1862, Confederate forces in Louisiana began
construction of many fortifications along the Red River to impede any invasion of northwest
Loui$iana. One .of BRINGHURST's professors from the Seminary, Captain D. F. BOYD,
was given the assignment of Chief Engineer of one of these fortifications. It is believed that
it was BOYD who secured BRINGHURST's promotion to First Lieutenant of Ordnance and
transfer to Fort De Russy in the winter of 1863. That year also brought the sad news of his
olderbrother's death. Captain Albert Clement BRINGHURSTwas killed in action along the
Rapidan River in Virginia on November 26, 1863.
The fort was named for Colonel ,Lewis Gustave De RUSSY and was positioned about
thirty-five milesbelow Alexandria,just north of Marksville. The earthworks, built with slave
labor, were placed on the south bank of the river and consisted of one 9-inch, three 32-
pounder guns, one 3D-pounder Parrott rifle, and a partly iron-plated "water" battery of two
24-poundersi~ge guns placedto resist Union gunboat fire. In addition to the fortifications,
felled trees and other obstructions were placed in the river to prevent the movement of
enemy gunboats.
Union Major General Nathaniel Prentiss BANKS launched an attack towards Shreveport
in early 1864. His command was bolstered by an added force of15,000 men on loan from
SHERMAN's command. It would be these men that would test the defenses at Fort De
Russy on March 14,1864. TheThird U.S. Division of approximately 4,000 men and officers
stormed the earthworks and crushed the small garrison of 350 defenders causing them to
surrender. Confederate General John G. WALKER of Walker's Texas Division described
stated,
"The fort was invested about4 p.m., and that a fierce musket and artillery fire
was kept up until about sundown, when it ceased, and from the shout of the
enemy it was supposed the fort then surrendered."
136
Both sides reported a small number of casualties, but the Confederates suffered 250
prisoners and an irreplaceable amount of ordnance. BRINGHURST was now a prisoner
of war.
He was sent to the New Orleans Federal Prison where he would remain for nine months
until his parole on January 4,1865. While in prison, he received food and other items from
friends and sympathizers. He also met a fellow prisoner who he would remainfriendswith
for nearly fifty years, Henry Bates STODDARD. After BRINGHURST's death, STODDARD
affectionately remembered his prison cell mate:
"BRINGHURST was not only willing to share whatever he had, but insisted
on denying,himselfforhisfriend. A cleaner man in moral conduct, and all the
virtues of a pure heart" h~ nev~r knew. He had the heart ,of a woman, yet the
courage of a lion."
The remaining years of 8RINGHURST's life has some "missing" years and further research
needs to be conducted to determine his activities during these times. These years include
the period from 18.65 to 1868,.18.7010 1877, and 1879 to 188.2. The years of reconstruction
in Louisiana after the waf were filled with turmoil and since BRINGHURST appears in
Germany in 1869 at the University of Tuebingen, perhaps some of this time was spent in
Europe conducting his research. On August 11,18.69, he was appointed a Doctor of
Philosophy by the faculty, of the University. of. Tuebingen based on his dissertation
"Defending Cervantes."
Again, the early years of the decade of the 1870's are blurred, but it is, possible that
BRINGHURST was teaching somewhere and might even have been an original member
of the Texas.Military Institute when it first opened at Bastrop. Further research should be
conducted to determine when he actually became a member of the faculty of this
institution, but it is known that he occupied a position with the Institute when it was in
Austin. It was there that he met the daughter of former Texas, President, Governor and
Hero of San Jacinto, Sam HOUSTON, probably while shewas attending the Austin Female
College. Antoinette "Nettie" Power HOUSTON and William Stuart Lorraine BRINGHURST
were united inrnarriageonFebruary 28, 1877 aUhe Governor's Mansion inAustin. They
were soon proud parents oftheir first child, Samuel HOUSTON BRINGHURST, born on
March 3, 18.78; follOWed two years later by the birth of another son, Charles Raguet
BRINGHURST,on May 24, 1880. Young Charles would die only two years later, on July
3, 1882, and was the first ofmallychildhood deaths the BRINGHURST family would have
to endure.
When the Institute's president John Garland JAMES was appointed in 1879 the new
president ofthe Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas, the school was closed and
the staff soon followed JAMES to College Station. BRINGHURST did not arrive at the
College until 1882 when he was appointed a professor of Physics. Later he would teach
classes in English and History and would serve as vice chairman of the faculty. In 1890 he
would become the college's vice~presidentand acting president for seven months. Upon
137
the arrival of Lawrence Sullivan ROSS, he would serve the college's most celebrated
president as his vice president for three years.
I
As his career at the college grew, so did his family. BRINGHURST and Nettie experienced
the joy of three more children during this time, but they would also experience the
heartache of burying twoofthem. Another son, William Stuart BRINGHURST was born
August 23, 1883, but died the next year on October 1 0, 1884. Of their two daughters,
Nettie Houston BRINGHURST, born November 6, 1887, and Anna Katherine
BRINGHURST, born January 28, 1890; only Nettie would survive. Little Katherine died at
the age offive on August 6, 1895. Both Willie and Katie are buried at Bryan City Cemetery.
In 1893, BRINGHURST and his family movedtoSryan where they purchased a home on
East 29th Street and he taught at the high schoo\. One of his students later recalled:
"Even to her he seemed deeply troubled, down and out, in the classroom. He
was poorly dressed, never having on a suit, but always wore mismatching
coat andtrousers; his fingers and nails had dirt deeply imbedded, showing
he had peeled potatoes and scrubbed pots and pans; was usuallyunshaven.
His untidy appearance excited the sympathy of the more understanding
pupils. He appeared to them ,a learned man was coping with difficulties
beyond hiscbntrol."
This statement appears to demonstrate that the deaths of BRINGHURST's children deeply
troubled him.
BRINGHURST was a charter member of the J. B. ROBERTSON Camp 124, United
Confederate Veterans when it formed at the Grand Opera House in Bryan ,on March 14,
1892. He was also a member of St. Andrew's Episcopal Church and the Brazos Union
Masonic Lodge 129.
In early 1896, the family movedto Rusk County, Texas, where he briefly taughtat the Rusk
County Teacher's Institute, then in August, he was named the new president of the
Henderson Normal College at Henderson, Texas. The family would again experience
another heartache - the death of Sam. He died on October 11, 1895 and is buried at
Henderson.
When the Henderson College closed in 1901, BRINGHURST and his family moved to San
Antonio where he would again teach. They remained in San Antonio until he was appointed
the Superintendent of the State Orphan's Home in Corsicana in 1913.
On February 18, 1913 at the age of 68 years, Dr. BRINGHURST died of pneumonia. His
body, accompanied by his wife, daughter and others, was shipped by rail to Bryan the next
day where it arrived at 1 :52 p.m. The funeral took place from the train where members of
the Brazos Union Masonic Lodge acted as pallbearers and Reverend W. W. DAUP
officiated. The Masons present included Joe B. REED, R. A. HARRISON, Edmund Jones
138
FOUNTAIN, Thomas Alvie ADAMS, P. S. PARK and James Duncan MARTIN. William
Edward SAUNDERS was appointed Marshal by the lodge for the occasion and in
attendance, as Worshipful Master of the Lodge was his old friend, Henry Bates
STODDARD.
Next year will mark the 90th Anniversary of his death and forthe majority of those yeafs
the remains of Dr. BRINGHURST have laid in an unmarked grave .in a quietcorner of the
Bryan City Cemetery. A man who has been forgotten by the institution he served for so
long, aman overshadowed by the famous lineage and popularity of his notable wife, a man
who experienced th,e horrors of war, endured the hardships of a prisoner of war, who
experienced the joy of children and the agony of their deaths. William Stuart Lorraine
BRINGHURST lived a full life and contributed greatly to the level of education throughout
this community and the state.

Hon. J. T. MALONEY - County Judge of Brazos County
In the list of public spirited leading citizens of Bryan and Brazos County who have
labored unceasingly and successfully for the advancement of this section to the forefront
in wealth, population and unprecedented improvement in all lines, the name of Hon. J. T.
MALONEY occupies a premier position. Mr. MALONEY became a temporary resident of
Bryan in 1871, when his father, a pioneer citizen, served the Houston and Texas Central
Railway as local agent here. In 1900 Mr. MALONEYwas employed as local cashier for the
International and Great Northern Railway at this point.
A year later he married Miss Mary RHODE, a member of a prominent family, and
thereafter moved to Palestine. In 1905 he returned to locate permanently in this city. In
1908 he was elected Mayor of the city of Bryan, in which position he served with marked
distinction for five years during which time he, demonstrated rare ability as the chief
executive officer of the city, inaugurating and perfecting many policies and works of public
improvements which conferred valuable and lasting benefits upon the city and its people.
During his administration, he was a prime mover and active advocate of the necessity of
buying the old electric light plant, Which was entirely inadequate to render proper service
to the city, and the installment of a ~unicipallight, water and sewerage plant adequate for
the demands of a prosperous and growing city. He was also an energetic and ardent
supporterofthe election providing fpr the issuance andsale of bonds for the establishment
of graded streets in this city, a m9Vell]le8t the success of which was largely due to his
untiring efforts and able support, thnbenefits of which will be enjoyed by the city within the
present year. Resigning the officepf l\t1ayor,in which he had served with signal success,
he entered the race for the importa~t pq>sition of County Judge of Brazos County, to which
he was elected at the last genera,lelepction in November, 1.912. Being an ardent and
consistent. supporter of necess~fY works of public improvements, including the
establishment of modern highways.for ~razos County, he will devote himself to the support
of this most necessary of all public works, as well as all others that redound to the benefit
of the people and t~e great busin~ssenterprises in this locality. The honors that the
citizenship of the city of Bryan and~razosCounty have conferred upon Mr. MALONEY is
an eviden~e of the confidence andii~styern in which he is held by the people to whom he
has endeared himself by steadfastpndableadherence at all times to the best interests of
the whole people, and his advoca~y of<ciMicr improvements, among others the proposed
terracing,lighting and beautifying the coyrthouse grounds, a commendable work, which
will commence and reach completion with t~e present year.

"When I Was 21" - JAN 31, 1927
A. J. BUCHANAN
"When I was 211 was a student in Baylor University, driving like Jehu, the son of
Nimshi, hoping to make the grade."saidA. J,SUCHANAN, veteran newspaper editor of
Brazos county. "Those were in the pioneer days of higher education in Texas, and the
curricula of those days was far different from the curricula of the colleges and universities
of the present time, " he said.
"In those days we studied moral and Intellectual philosophy, logic, higher
mathematics, Latin, Greek, and Hebrew. Today the young men are taught to span the
country with railroads, bridge the streams, make fertile the arid waste by irrigation, put the
reverse gear in rivers and change their courses" andpick up a mountain and gently set it
over in an adjoining county."
Mr. BUCHANAN went away to school from old Steep Hollow, where his
father came Louisiana with his family back in '69. As a country boy, III
learned many things that boys of the towns and cities never have the
opportunity of learning. I learned that the vines all ran around the trees in the
same direction; I learned that the sands in the bed of a dry stream. show
which way the water runs; I learned that the wind in changing its currents
151
goes in the same direction; I learned the names of the trees and how to
distinguish their wood; I learned the names of the birds and butterflies, and
understood their habits and peculiarities. ' I learned the names of the stars
and how to tell the time of the night by the stars and the time of the day by
the sun. I learned that a divine law of harmony, like a golden thread, runs
through all nature and points to the Creator of all things."
He says he entered Baylor University as a "minnow" and was as green as the colors
of the school, and was so far out of the backwoods "that my breath smelled like cord
wood." Dr. Rufus C. BURLESON, the pioneer Texas Baptist preacher and educator, was
president of Baylor, "and with his kindly assistance and the assistance of the faculty, after
four years of strenuous work I secured my diploma and my degree. When at Baylor I was
associated with Judge a.H. LATTIMORE ofthe Courtof Criminal Appeals; Judge Kenneth
FOREO of Dallas; ,Judge H. S. MORRISON, Big Springs; Hon. S. P. SKINNER, EI Paso;
Hon. A. S. BURLESON, postmaster general in President WILSON's cabinet; T. E. BIRD,
Greenville; J. W. NEWBROUGH, prominent Baptist preacher, and C. D. DANIELS, who
since graduation has spent his life as a missionary in Brazil, Mexico, and other foreign
fields," he stated.
After graduation in 1884 he served as deputy county clerk of Brazos county under
the late Captain S. M. DERDAN. In November of that year he was elected district clerk
and served for four years. In 1889, he purchased half interest in the old Brazos Pilot, and
was associated in its publication with W. D.COX, a well-known newspaper man; the late
James A. ADMIRE; A. W. BUCHANAN, a brother; R. M.SMITH, now of Mineo la, and Co\.
William FALCONER. In 1894 he became sole owner of the Pilot and edited it until it was
destroyed by fire on the morning of January 1, 1909.
He then purchased a one-fourth interest in the Bryan Daily Eagle with Geo. A.
ADAMS, M. E. WALLACE, and J. M. CARNES. He continued with the Eagle, first as city
editor and then as editor, until 1918, when he resigned and became associated with the
WALLACE Printing Ca..
In the 29 years of his editorial work in Bryan, a few of the outstanding improvements
which he was the first to advocate became realities. His slogan was "Lift Bryan Out of the
Mud." From this advocacy through the columns of the paper, it was taken up by business
interests and Bryan today has seven mile of paved streets. Another slogan was "Rapid
Transit Between Bryan and College Station," and out of this grew the Bryan-College
Station Interurban. The paved highway betweenSryan and College was also advocated
in order that it might be seen by the thousands of visitors who come tothe commencement
at A. and M. College annually, and by the millions oftourists from all points of the earth.
The accomplishment of these three needs, as well as many others of minor
importance, make up in a large measure ample compensation and reward for the 29 years
offaithful service devotedto the development of Bryan and Brazos county, and their social,
religious, educational and commercial activities.
152
In view of his, useful life, it may be said of Mr. BUCHANAN that he gave his efforts
"For the cause ,that needs assistance,
For the wrongs ,that need,resistance,
For the promisein the distance,
And for the good that I can do."

"When ,I Was 21" .;. November 6, 1926
John M. CALDWELL
"When I was 21 I was just starting at the jewelry business," stated JohnM.
CALDWELL, one of Bryan's pioneer merchants. Mr. CALDWELL began his career by
working for John T. WYSE in Bryan, whose attractivejewelry establishment was located
at the present site of A. M. WALDROP & Co. He worked for Mr. WYSEfor 11 years
before embarking for himself.
Mr. CALDWELL attended no watch-makers school, but picked up the trade in Bryan.
He has had much experience in every phase of the jewelry business.
Changes have been most pronounced in his line of endeavor. When he was 21
one-caret diamond rings, which are used in making Cupid's darts hit the mark, sold for
$100, while now they sell from $650 to $1,000. However, this sparkling method was,not
used extensively in those days. The young LOCKINVAR'sdid the best theycould without
any such enticement. The practice was not prevalent then of giving the daughter of the
family a diamond ring when she was graduated from high school, with the hope that she
would be able to manage for one to match it within a few years.
There has been a boomerang in the jewelry line. Fads that were popular 40 years
ago have come back this season. Slab bracelets, snake jewelry and neckwear that
adorned the necks of our grandmothers are popular with the coeds of 1926., Back in the.
old days the ladies boughtjewelry,with the question: "How long will it last and how about
the quality." Today the ladies want their jewelry to last about as long astheir dresses, and
they are particularly anxious that "it is something new".
Fountain pens made theirappearance on the market about 30 years ago, according
to Mr.CALDWELL. When they first came out he had to give away dozens of them in order
to get the Bryan public used to writing with them. The Conklin pen was the pioneer and
153
for several years Mr. CALDWELL had the exclusive agency for selling fountain pens in
Bryan. "If you had told a man that someday people would be willing to pay $15 for a
fountain pen he would have thought you were crazy," said Mr. CALDWELL.
Bryan people have good taste for jewelry, and demand as high class jewelry here
as do the buyers in Dallas and Houston, he stated.

"When I Was 21" - January 7,1927, p. 1
M. L. CASHION
"When I was 21 I was in Erskine College in South Carolina," said M. L. CASHION,
who has been director of the A. and M. Y.M.C.A. since September.
Mr. CASHION was a junior in school there when 21. He first started to college at
the age of 16 but stayed out several years to teach in order to be able to go back to school.
During the summer months he also played baseball, being a promising young pitcher.
He is a native of Huntersville N. C., where he was graduated from high schoo\. After
attending college a year, he taught near Charlotte, and says that he received only $40 per
month, but his room and board took only a toll of $5 per month.
Mr. CASHION pitched semi-pro ball for a number of teams, and one season he was
in Charlotte in the Carolina League. He is a brothe,r of Carl CASHION who hurled for the
Washington team of the American League in 1911, 1912, and 1913, being a battery mate
of Gabby STREET, who Walter JOHNSON says is the best catcher he ever worked with.
M. L. CASHION was graduated from Erskine college with a R A. degree at 25, and
immediately went to Sherman to be director of the Y.M.C.A. of Austin College. He was
there for11 years. Speaking of baseball again, Mr.CASHION says that in 1913 he hurled
for a team that played against Denison of the Texas-Oklahoma league. On the Denison
club was Rogers HORNSBY, manager of the world ,champion St. Louis Cardinals in 1926.
Mr. CASHION proceeded to hurl a no run, no hit game against the leaguers, with the result
that he received offers from Dallas and other professional clubs. "That was the last game
I ever pitched; I decided to quit at the height of my career," facetiously said Mr. CASH ION.
He served four years with the Y.M.C.A. abroad during the World War period, being
stationed in France and in Egypt. He spent six months at Lyons, France, 18 months at
Dijon, France, and 12 month in Kartoura in the Soudan in Africa. He also waited for two
154
months in Paris to go to Africa, and three months in Cairo on his way back to France.
He was with the British soldiers in Africa, and says he spent a pleasant and
profitable year there. Their quarters included every modern convenience, but it was "pretty
hot." There, are practically no Americans there but many British, Greeks, Italians, and
Egyptians. The Arabic language is the most popular. Farming is the only industry, Africa
being noted the world over for .its cotton. Irrigation is the chief obstacle in the way of
successful agriculture, the rainfall amounting to only about' two inches a year. The
temperature is hot in the summer and in the winter it is never colder than, it is in Bryan
today.
When asked what they did for amusement he said they gave home talent theatrical
performances, staged boxing matches and motor boat races. In answer tO,a query about
the natives, he said the. men work white cotton pajamas and the women, many of whom
are quite pretty, wore a blue cotton cloth about 10 yards in length. Most of the natives
around there believed in the Mohammedan religion.
Mr. CASHION left Austin College last year, and has been directorofthe A. and M.
"Y" since September. He is we.ll pleased with his work here, and has been active in
improving the service of the organization. For $5 the Aggie boys are given free stationary
for nine months, have access to leading daily newspapers and magazines, swimming
pools, billiard tables, and tickets to 36 moving picture shows during theyear.

"When I was 21" - November 30, 1926, p. 1
Willard CHAMBERS
"When I was 21 I started in business in Cameron selling a high priced car and
conducting a repairshop incormection," stated Willard CHAMBERS ofthe enterprising firm
of CHAMBERS-WILSON Motor Co., Ford dealers. During the first year of his agency he
did not sell a car all year. He tried hard but in vain. During the first year the business
earned $37.50 per month. The owner did not draw a penny of salary.
Mr. CHAMBERS was graduated from Cameron high school, worked a year as a
carpenter,' and then went to the University ofT exas for a year. The next year he launched
out into business.
In 1915 he bought out another garage and combined the two. He then secured the
Ford agency, and in the first year he sold 21 cars. In those days that me,ant much profit
155
to the dealer. Cars were sold for cash as a rule, there were no second-hand cars to be
traded in, and the price was higher than now. In fact, he made so much money that year
that he admits, "I thought I was swimming in wealth."
He kept the Ford dealership in Cameron until 1918, when he moved to Bryan and
went into business with DAVE L. WILSON. After being here only a few weeks, he joined
the colors, being stationed at Seattle, Washington, in the naval aviation. He returned to
Bryan in 1919, and has lived here ever since except for a few months in 1922.
Mr. CHAMBERS says he enjoys the automobile business, and that he gets a real
kick out of selling Fords. He has to tackle many hard customers. The first sale he ever
made in Cameron being one ,of the hardest men in the community to sell.
In speaking of Bryan, he said: "Bryan is the best city of any where near its size in
which to live that I know anything about. There may be towns just as good in a business
way, but surely none better in which to live. Here we have many miles of paved streets,
splendid educational institutions, excellent shows, athletic contests, and almost every night
there is an educational attraction at A. and M. College."

Dr. W. D. CLINE
"When I was 21 I was in Louisville Medical College," stated Dr. W. D. CLINE, noted
Bryan eye, ear, nose and throat specialist.
Dr. CLINE is a native of Woodville in Tyler county. After going to school there he
went to high school in Houston for a year. From Houston he went to Baylor University for
a year. He says he tried to get into the military department but he was turned down on
account of his youth. While there he saw his firstarmy officer, Lieutenant Beaumont B.
BUCK, commandant of the school, who afterwards became quite famous. From Baylor he
went to Louisville, and was graduated from medical college there in 1901. Graduation has
not ended his schooling. He has taken post graduate courses in eye, ear, nose and throat
subjects at New Orleans, Chicago, Philadelphia, and New York City.
He started practicing in Colorado City where he remained for one year. He next
moved to Wharton, where he practiced for five years. He later did eye work for the State
at Whatley and Herring camp in Madison county. Fifteen years ago he came to Bryan.

Bryan is a much healthier city today than it was 15 years ago. Malaria used to be
quite common, while now few cases arereporteci. Adenoid and tonsil operations are far
more frequent today than formerly, largely on account of the education work being carried
on, under the supervision of the county health nurse,.
People have more refraction now, but this is on account of the change in our mode
of living. Many more persons go to school, more work as bookkeepers and proportionately
fewer stay out of doors. . The number of persons who wear glasses has greatly increased.
Dr. CLINE, said that many older people are deaf because of neglected nasal
treatment in youth. , vvhen they become old there is no remedy in many cases. "Ifnasal
trouble gave considen:lble pain thElmatter would be attended to more frequently," he said.
The importance of good nasal condition is shown by the fact that the air service will not
accept a man with the slightest defects ofthis kind.
