Rangers were In our vicinity.
Trust you all will have a most
pleasant three days reunion,
enjoyed so much your special
edition in honor of the Texas
Rangers last week.
With kindest regards to you
and family, I am
Respectfully,
ELIZA GILLILAND,
Editor, The Baird Star
Bronte, Texas
July 29, 1935.
Mr. J. J. Gregg,
Editor, Santa Anna News,
Santa Anna, Texas.
Dear Bro. Gregg:
This is to acknowledge receipt
of your invitation to the big
party of the Santa Anna News,
its editor and family and office
force.
Replying, I have waited till
the last minute, trying to plar
so I could be present. But 1
still do not know what I can dr
about attending. As you havi
noted, of course, from the pa-
pers, I am about to “break into
politics.” I am today taking
“the final and fatal leap—I am
in.” Hence, you know that nec-
essarily I am going to be busy
as the proverbial “old hen with
one chicken.” But if I possibly
can snatch a few hours to run
down I am going to do so.
I want to attend Just to grasp
the hand of a brother editor
who shows the interest in the
community welfare of his home
town that yop are showing in
this big, unselfish endeavor.
Such as you are “the salt of
the earth." If I can attend I
will do anything you say to make
the event “the biggest affair”
possible—I will clean the “hell
box,” wash the presses, sweep
the office floor, run the lino-
type, or “lick” any displeased
subscriber (provided, of course,
he is a little "fellow” and he
certainly would be “little,” If he
finds any objection to the kind
of paper you Issue) to help in
making the occasion immortal.
You know, of course, I once
resided there and owned and
operated The News—hence,
there is "a soft spot in my heart”
for the old paper and the dear
old town and its people that has
survived the dimming effect of
the years, and I still “love them
In the same old way.”
If I am not there, you may
know my heart Is with you and
say to any and all of my friends
that I congratulate them on the
kind of newspaper and editor
and family and force they havr
n “the old home town.” Should
I get there, you will know It—
specially when I get to the
able.
With every good wish for you
and yours and the dear people
of Santa Anna and Coleman
county, I am,
Fraternally,
__D. M. WEST.

First to Register
Among the first to report for
registration was Capt. John R.
Hughes of El Paso, who served
as Captain of the Texas Ran-
gers for 25 years. Capt. Hughes
drove here in his little 1924
Model T Ford Coupe, and camp-
ed along the way. He Is near
90, Jolly, happy, good natured
and says he gets something out
of life every day that is worth
living for. His presence added
considerable to the convention.
S. P. Elkins of Tishomingo,
Oklahoma, who celebrated his
91st birthday July 18th, was in
the Ranger service several years,
and was the oldest Ex-Ranger
present. He paid a visit to old
Camp Colorado Post while here,
It being his first visit to the Old
Post in 05 years.
Charles Shaw of Texline was
a very active visitor, and added
much to the convention.
Capt. Luke Dowe of Del Rio
was a live visitor, and, his con-
genial style and manner was
noticeable throughout the con-
vention. Cant. Dowe served as
a Custom House officer on the
border for several years, is a
real fellow, and greatly enjoyed
“is visit In Santa Anna.
Mr. and Mrs
Mrs. Smith Is secretary of the
Association
Dr. O. W. Beakley of Levelland,
a former citizen of this vicinity,
was here, and was a valuable
asset to the convention.
A Tribute
The following tribute was
read before the convention
Thursday morning, composed by
a daughter of an Ex-Ranger,
her name being withheld by
request.
“The Ex-Ranger—gallant and
intrepid old warrior—long ago
his heart was settled and his
face was set to drive out the
invader and to stamp, out the
law evader. Yet on bl&face is
written, as well as deamina-
tion, kindliness and fun and
that spirit of neighborliness
which made the country they
protected good to live In.
How valiantly would you
mount a horse and ride all day
and all night tonight and all
day and all night tomorrow
night? How bravely would you
watch ahead for Indians and,
sighting them, urge your tired
body and exhausted horse into
battle with a greater number of
better mounted men? How
would you face a hundred mile
return1 on horseback with a
wounded comrade to be. carried
as comfortably as possible, with
no food but a few pecans, no
shelter from the rain or the
sun or the snow?
'My right leg is not much
good,” said an old Ranger.
“We trailed an Indian band in
a blizzard in my Ranger days,
and as we were riding west, the
right leg of every man in the
scout was frozen a little.”
“The Ex-Ranger! Hats off to
him! Honor him and his steady
bravery! And pray that his
kind will never vanish, that the
noble character which made
Texas will remain to carry on
the Texas which the Ranger:
band wrought.”
