which are worth remembering:
,Tfte Anglo-Saxon Race
About fourteen; hundred yg^ffl ago
___ ____ ________ a monk named Gregory was"walking
of Refugio! who Is now just, about J alon*the 1uay at Marseilles, France.
« , . . ... Ha * A11A A/1 A A,«*A,IV\ A#
ready to ..go to press with a history
of Refugio County on which he has
been laboring effectively fpr nearly
a score of years. Write him If you
want to put your ,'namfe in the pot
for ft copy. , . -
Dr. I. T. Taylor, Superintendent'of"
Schools in Jackson County, who has
written “Th&JflfeavOlcade of Jackson
County;’’ a book worth the money
at'many times the price: He lives
at’Edna, the county Spat, and has,
done a whale'of a good job in com-
piling “Jackson Crfunty at War,,"
records for the present conflict. \
J. Henry Marttndal6; of Lockhart,
Caldwell County Treasurer.; who Is
doing , swell work'not only for his
county, blit for' his state and nation.
HIS history articles In. his local
press,' encouraged by an able and
patriotic publisher. in the good old
home town of Lockhart, command
respect' everywhere for” their truth
and interest. Answers about the
county of Caldwell seen froth time
to time in this column, have- been
supplied .by J. Henry Martindale
himself.
Q, Where was the Battle of Plum
Creek'fought?
A. This scrap was the climax of
the Comanche Raid of 1840 and
occurred a few^miles South of Look-
hart on Plum Creek with the final
rout taking place about two miles
southwest of Lockhart near the site
•of the present Lockhart State Park.
Several Tonkaway braves fought
with the Texans and after the bat-
tle they were reported to have
feasted on a gruesome stew from
the flesh of the fallen Comanches.
TIMELY THOUGHT: Now with
the approach of the Texas Centen-
nial of Statehood years of. 1945 arid
1946,. here are a few paragraphs
Presently he noticed a group of
boys wht) had been captured by
Danish pirates and offered for sale
as Slaves, : He marveled at their
white skin, their beautiful features,
their-soft, fine hair, their blue-eyes,
and asked whence they came.
“From Britain,:’ Was, the answer:
“There the people are all fair,’ like
these boys. They are called Angles.”
“They should be called Angels,
not-Angles," said Gregory, “for they
have angelic faces."
Those captive boys, whose ances-
tors had emigrated to England from
the valleys, of the'. Elbe and Che-
Weser in northern Germany, be-
longed to the- race that has. been
largely Responsible for oOr Ameri-
can form, of government. If is im-
portant, therefore, if we are fully
to understand the nature of the
government under which we live,
.tfl^t we kno\v something about this
race, and- wjiy and how if created
our American Republic; why its
descendants came to these shores;,
how they brought with them the
principles of English liberty; how
they developed those principles in
this new land ol freedom-; and how
they finally embodied them in our.
fundamental law, the Constitution
of the United States. We sihall then
realize that the blessings of the
free government we enjoy today
Was not created all at once, but
have grown from the seeds of lib-
erty .which good and noble, men
planted during centuries past. Well
has it been said that the,story of
the American Constitution is the
story of the Anglo-Saxon race.

Q, Tell me what is a joke with
whiskers on, it?
A. An old, old joke, one which our
fathers also laughed at. is known
as one with wJaiskers. Here's one
which appeared in-a Texas news-
paper njore than a century ago-:
"An Irishman who had finally
settled' in Texas to make It his
permanent home was In London on
his way here. He was asked where
he was from. He replied, Tm from
everywhere and just as soon as I
can get across this river,’ pointing
to the Thames, Til be from this
bloomin' town'.”
Q. What is regarded as Henry
Grady’s greatest address? And was
he ever in Texas?
A. THE HOME AND THE RE-
PUBLIC is his most noted address,
timely today, ash It was when first
liellvered. HVJwas a guest of the
State In Dallas where he attended
the fair 'shortly before his death.
Hereis his masterpiece:
The Home , and the Republic
I wfnt to Washington the other
day. and as .1 stood oil-Capitol. Hill
Toy; heart beat’ quick as l looked at
th"'towering : marble of hiy coun-
try's Capitol, and. the mist gathered,
in my eyes as I thought of its1 tre-
in. minus significance—The “Army.,
'and the Treasury, arid, live Courts.,
and Congress, and the President,
and all that Was gathered there.'Arid
I felt that the. sun in all its course,
could nfi. look down upon a better
sight than thgt majestic home of
the Republic that had taught the
world its best lessons in’ liberty.
Two days afterwardb I wept to
visit a friend in the country^-a
modest'man. with a quiet country
home. It was just a simple, unpre-
tentious, house, set about with great
big trees, encircled in meadow .arid
fields rich with the promise of har-
vest. ft’he fragrance of pink and
hollyhock in the from yard was
mingled with the aroma of the-or-
chaid and of tbe gaidey, and reson-
ant with the cluck qf poultry and
the burn of bees. Ijjside way, -quiet,'
cleanliness, thrift, and c-.-mfort'
Outside there stood . my friend —
master of his land, and iriaster pf.
himself. There v'a-S his qld father
