RECIPE
Texas’ roads make possible a
carefree vacation in your own
automobile down any direc*
tion you choose to travel.
As you ride, make a note of
the things for which avail-
able highway funds are be*
sng spent: broader, smoother
roads; over- and under-passes
for safety; direction signs;
protection markers; beautified
roadsides; hardened should-
ers; easier curves and even-
ed grades. We Texans have
a right to be proud of them.

the first bot-
to satisfy—
Joe Erwin, who now lives at Ivan-
hoe, was in Bonham the other day.
VTien he was asKed how old he was,
He replied that he thought he was the
oldest native bom citizen of Fannin
county; that he is 91 years old, hav-
ing been born in 1847. That’s a long
time ago.
Mr. Erwin says he was born a little
southeast of Bonham, over there
where the standpipe is now. So far
as The Herald knows he has always
lived in Fannin county. . He says he
would like to live to be 100 years old,
but he added very frankly that when
he got to be a burden, and not able to
take care of himself, he wanted to go.
This 91 year old man has seen
many sights. He was a 15 year old
boy when the Civil War started in
1861. He has seen many things hap-
pen in Bonham and Fannin county.
In the rough days of the county he
has seen men killed, and he lived
through the reconstruction period, the
darkest time, so many say, of the
whole Civil War period and ten years
after that affair.
Mr. Erwin says his father came to
Texas in 1836 with Davy Crockett;
that they settled at Honey Grove, and
on account of the abundance of wild
honey thereabouts they named the lo-
cality Hpney Grove, and the name
stuck. The father of this remarkable
citizen we are talking about was
named Robert Erwin. He was bom,
so Joe says, in Kentucky, in Pulaski
county, on the Cumberland river. Mr.
Erwins mother was born in an ad-
joining county in the same state. (It
appears there is a Cumberland River
and Pulaski county in Kentucky, too.)
Like all the early settlers, Mr. Er-
win’s father came to Texas via boat,
up Red River to Jefferson, and from
there to “out west” as they called this
country then, in an ox wagon. He
said his father told him that the ox-
en were without water for two days,
and when they at last smelled water,
they literally ran away with the wag-
on, to get to the water. Any old ox-
driver will tell you that oxen will do
such tricks.
This old timer, Joe Erwin, is very
well educated. His mother believed
in education, and she sent all of her
children to school, and mad§. it pos- I
sible for all of them to get the best j
instruction obtainable in those early I
days.
Sometime when you see this re-
markable man, talk to him. You will
find him friendly, and ready to rem-
inisce. He can tell you many inter-
esting things, out of the abundance
of the knowledge he has stored up in
his wonderful mind.

Igivi _
f and advertisers.
Seven years bring many changes.
During that time the depression
came and publishing a newspaper be-
came as financially difficult as op-
erating other businesses. We sur-
vived that period and hope to finish
paying the notes in a few years and
forget it. The office has been moved
to better quarters. More advertisers
are using the columns of The Herald
than ever before. More subscribers
are reading the two issues each week.!
Seven years are only the begin- j
ning as far as we are concerned. We \
plan to increase the value of Thel
Herald to its advertisers and read-
ers and to the county. We will ap-
preciate whatever suggestions and as-
sistance that may be given us to this
-end.
