Monday, Oct. 27, was the 94th
birthday far Tom Carroll, long-
time resident of Mineola, and
was the occasion for a great deal
of reminiscing about the Mineola
he remembered from the past.
The "birthday celebration" for
Mr. Tom was actually held on
Sunday, the birthday of his wife
Lena, as they shared a joint
birthday cake with relatives.
Some of the things Mr. Tom
has recalled for us about early-
day Mineola include such diverse
things as;
—A toll bridge across the Sa-
bine south of town, which could
be crossed only in dry weather.
The bridge was owned and opera-
ted by a Mr. Cannon.
—The first “dump" was built
across the Sabine bottom by Lo-
renzo Callaway and a Mr. Gray.
There was no gasoline operated
machinery ini those days, and it
was strictly mulepower and man-
power which made possible the
building up of the right of way
for all-weather crossings. And it
was Tom Carroll who helped in
the work to build the dump.
—A canning factory owned and
operated on the south side by
Tom Breen; a cotton compress
run by Jim Gregory; a public
bath house, operated by a Mr.
Frost on the south side of town.
—The chair factory which was
established by Grovet Smith’s
grandfather, and which became
the box factory on East Broad.
—A bottling works run by a
Mr. Crews.
—The wagon yard run by Peter
Weaver, that covered the whole
block where Brazelton Lumber is
now. For our younger readers,
Mr. Tom explained that a wagon
yard was comparable to modem
day parking lots, and was used
for parking horses and wagons in
the era before automobiles.
—A lake, where Safeway now
is located. Bob Graham had a
cotton yard between it and Broad
Street, where he weighed cotton
for the public. One day when a
fire broke out, the stored cotton
bales were rolled into the lake
to put them out. There was no
volunteer fire department then,
but everyone mustered up and
rolled (a two-wheeled cart with
its rolled up hose to the scene
of the fire.
—The old well right on the
square (the intersection of Broad
and Pacific), with a derrick and
windmill over it to pump water.
People came from all around to
get the water.
—The tanning yard out weat
of Mineola, run by Peter Weaver,
who got permission to cut many
of the fine oaks in the area for
tanning bark. I
—The several Negro families
who lived in the north part of
town: Sam Jackson, who Owned
and lived on a block between
Rheamon Lewis, president of The-
ta Nu Chapter, will welcome
members of Alpha Tau, Beta
Lambda, Beta Omega, and Ep-
silon Gamma Chapters from
other East Texas cities.
Mrs. Sypert, the luncheon speak-
er, is state chairman of Profes-
sional Affairs Committee. She is
librarian at Sam Rayburn High
School in Pasadena and was
named Pasadena’s Outstanding
Woman Citizen in 1964. She holds
degrees from Mary Hardin Bay-
lor, Southwest Texas State and
University of Denver.
All chapters will display year-
books and program materials at
the Regional meeting, and a pre-
sidents’ breakfast will precede
the general meeting.
Dramatic presentations, high -
lighting the 1969 program of work,
will be given py the Tyler Chap-
Abers. The Apache Quartet will fur-
nish music for the luncheon.

I. Decisions, decisions. . . should
I stuff myself at the Chili Supper
prepared by Doyle Starnes and
served by the seniors preceding
the football game Friday night,
or should I save myself for the
usual home-game delicacies pre-
pared by the Band Boosters? I’ll
probably stuff myself — at both!
Herewith a reminder to those
who would be electors in 1970:
You can’t vote in next year’s
city, school primary nad general
elections unless you register be-
fore January 31, 1970. This year
you must fill out an application
blank before the registration cer-
tificate can be made out for you.
The applications, and certificates
also, are available at the office
of the county tax assessor-
collector, or locally at Carl Bru-
ner’s insurance agency.
We had made so many plans
for the extra hour gained Sunday
in the conversion back to Stan-
dard? Time, that there wasn’t
enough time to do all we had
planned — so we just added an
hour’s nap (see 2nd paragraph
above), relative to our keen in-
terest in making decisions.
Our congratulations to Ricky
Delbert and Pam Price on their
having been named 1969 Wood
County Gold Star 4-H Boy and
Girl.
And our thanks to Mollie Fish-
er at the Chamber office for
having loaned to us a clipping
about the "Mean Mother" that
we used for reprinting elsewhere
in this issue. Mrs. John Szitar,
James Hartsfield’s secretary who
“coffees” with Mollie, had re-
ceived the article from daughter
Sue, a resident of Odessa; Sue
had clipped it from the Ector
Gazette in that city. Even though
our readers are getting the story
about, seventh hand, we believe
you’ll enjoy it.
It reminds us of the longtime
first grade teacher, now retired,
who said quite a few years ago
that “it should be a pleasure to
teach the children of the current
generation. They've never been
crossed by their parents, so they
certainly won't let their children
cross them!"
The above remark, too, might
briag a little comment. . .
