Brenham is the county seat i ’
of Washington, named for the! ,
Father of our country, George i
Washington, on whose birth- |
day anniversary we com-
mence our journey. We follow,
the Eastern Star .to Texas,!
the Lone Star State, in the
year of our Lord, 1947, (Jul-
ian Year 6660) on the twenty-
second day of February,
where the Indians once roam-
ed, naming Texas “Tejas”;
then the white man came and
X-ed out the letter meaning
"The Jesus”, just as CHRIST-
mas is X-mas to non-CHRIST-
ians.
Life began for Brenham in
the glorious spring-time when
Texas was a republic, in a
beautiful post oak grove,
where native song birds sang
wonderful melodies to frag-
rant flowers that bloomed on
the surrounding prairies and
hills, this grove being a
princely gift; and good women |
honored a hero when they
gave the new town the name
of Brenham/ People with in-
herent love of liberty, the
Christian religion, education
and progress came and built
, homes and were blessed with
health, happiness and pros-!
perity. Brenham forged to the
front until it can point with!
pride to commercial connec-
tions, railroads, modern
~ women and business men of
unquestioned integrity. It is
one of the most important lit-
tle cities in the interior of
Texas, and physically^,finan-
cially, intellectually and relig-
iously it is really a Beautiful

darkest dungeon, his lofty spirit made prophetic speeches of

Attorney Bryan, of Bren-

present Mrs. Grossman’s case,
at the request of her relatives,
for the sum of THIRTY
THOUSAND ($30,000) DOL-

own words describe the hap-
penings. She said, “Mr. Bryan

wrote he would come with the
