Reminiscent Talk by a Man Who Resi-

of Memories.

Saturday there came into the
News office a man once well known
in this community—one, in fact,
who helped no little in making lo-
cal history. The party here re-
ferred to was Joe Routh who, al-
most twenty years ago, established
The Rustler at old Duck Creek
At that time the Santa Fe was
building north from Dallas and
before the Katy survey had been
located. The paper was contin-
ued to be published at the little
hamlet on the Creek until the San-
ta Fe established the town of Em
bree, and moved there a few days
previous to the fire at Duck Creek
which destroyed the stores of Rob-
inson, Brown & Co., Mewshaw,
Thorpe & Co., Bob Marshall’s
billiard hall, composing the prin-
cipal part of the village. What
was left of the town was carted
over to Embree station when be-
gan, as all the older people here-
about remember, the long and bit-
ter fight for supremacy between
Embree and New Duck Creek, the
name given the Katy station, the
road by that time having reached
here. Speaking of this life and
death struggle to the News man
Mr. Routh said:
“Those were strenuous times.
Factions sprang up, but no blood-
shed resulted. John Cullom came
over from Mesquite and establish-
ed the. Duck Creek News, an I then
the fight waxed warm and furious.
Nightly caucuses were held on
both sides, and frequently the
council fires burned long into the
night, but in the end the north
conquered the south—new Duck
Creek triumphed and as a pacifica-
tor Congressman Joe Abbott (now
dead), stepped in, induced the
postoffice department to christen
the newborn babe “Garland,” and
Garland it is until now, and will
so remain, I presume, as long as
time lasts. But during that fight
there was much comedy intermin-
gled with light tragedy, but after
oil had been poured upon the trou-
bled waters the dove of peace set-
tled permanently here and today,
after an absence of many years, I
return to find one of the fairest
and best little towns in Texas.
True, many of the original business
men are gone—some have died,
some moved away to enter pur-
suits in other towns, but the town
has grown beyond my expectation.
As I came in Saturday over the
Katy, looking at once familiar
scenes nearing Garland, what a
flood of memories came trooping
in upon; some pleasant, some in-
different, some sad, and today as I
wandered down the lane to the old

Embree park, passing on by the
site of the old Grange store, I stood
upon the familiar bridge spanning
the stream, the waters of which
seemed to laugh as they passed on
to the sea. In the background
stood the old mill, a mute monu-
ment and memory to an eventful
past, many of its windows broken
and shattered by the ravages of
time, its walls sombre and dull
and where once on the interior the
musical whir of machinery was
heard now dwell bats and owls.
Looking down the stream my mem-
ory led me along pleasant paths
down to the little school house by
the roadside where we used to wan-
der and watch the merry lads and
lassies at play; or to attend di-
vine worship in the little church
which stood across the way; of the
many old time friends who are
now exploring the mysteries of
that land across the great divide—
there was the saintly John Corco-
ran; Capt. Sebastian, Bob Lyle,
Fred Coomer, Jim Raines, Col.
Strother, Chas. Ax, Sr., Sam Al-
len, Dan Bechtel, and many oth-
ers who were then active in the
affairs of this community. Re-
turning, I looked into the park
where I have in days gone by
whiled away sundry summer af-
ternoons, attended picnics and
danced with girls from the forks
of the creek, or sat enraptured by
the forensic eloquence of Barnett
Gibbs and Olin Wellborn in their
stubborn contest for congression-
al honors, resulting in a conven-
tion deadlock and the nomination
of Jo Abbott at Waxahachie/twas
there we first heard the matchless
eloquence of Henry Farman who
made a short but brilliant canvass
in the Gibbs-Wellborn contest,and
who is now at Ada. I. T,. groom-
ing himself for congress in the
new State of Oklahoma when Un-
cle Joe Cannon and Secretary
Hitchcock get ready to grant it.
Yes, many changes have come to
these parts, but really, I am much
impressed with the push, vim and
vigor of the Garland of today. Her
elegant public school building is
an ornament to the town and no
doubt the pride of your people;
her churches stand as sentinels
pointing the population to a better
life; the congregations going to
and fro show to me that Garland
is the home of culture, refinement,
pretty girls and numerous babies.
The substantial brick business
blocks-show that the town is sol-
idly builded; that there is push
and progress and an individuality
about her business men which is
refreshing. And let me say to you
that the Garland News has done
and is still doing a great work for
the town. It has stood loyal to
town and country and its well fill-
ed advertising columns shows to
me more than any other one thing
that your merchants believe in and
