population drinks fluoridated wa-
ter. The caries incidence has
declined so dramatically as a result
that today 37 percent of children
ages 5 to 17 have never had a
cavity.
But water fluoridation is only
part of the solution to dental
disease, savs dentists. A complete
prevention program also includes
daily brushing with an approved
fluoride toothpaste; daily flossing;
avoidance of snacks, especially
sticky, sugary foods; use of
fluoride products such as mouth-
rinses; and regular dental visits. '
There’s no doubt that prevention
works: caries incidence has
decreased by as much as 9 percent
over the past decade, and the
percentage of denture-wearers has
declined from 35 percent to 24
percent in the last 20 years. As we
move into a new decade, further
advances in preventive dentistry
are certain. But prevention of
dental disease, say dentists, will
continue to depend mostly on each
individual’s motivation.

Editor, The Goldthwaite Eagle
Dear Sir,
On May 4, 1835 James D.
Kirkpatrick, age 20, landed at
Cox’s Point on Matagorda Bay. A
week later he wrote to a friend in
Caldwell County, Kentucky, which
letter I have copied for your use
this sesquicentennial year if you
choose. Spelling tense, etc., are as
I find in the original letter.
In Texas he worked as physician
and as land surveyor. He was 11
months in Sam Houston’s army
and was at the capture of San
Antonio in early December. At the
request of Phillip Dimmit, the
commander at Goliad, he was sent
to that garrison as it’s surgeon. On
December 20 he joined 90 others,
members of the command and a
few citizens of the town of Goliad,
in making a premature declaration
of independence.
Captain Dimmit sent a commit-
tee of six men, including James
Kirkpatrick, to the various settle-
ments to enlist support for the
declaration. Most responsible set-
tlers were riot ready for this step.
It was accomplished the following
March 2, 1836 by more mature
citizens. James Kirkpatrick after
release from the army resumed his
career. He died at Texana in 1838.
The town of Santa Anna had a
name change to Texan when the
General Santa Anna was exposed
as no champion of republican

Cox’s Point, Texas
May 11, 1835
Dear Angi, .
I have at leagth arrived in this
province safe and sound (thanks to
my good luck). I am now seated in
Coxes house (a cabin right on the
margin of LaDaca on Matagorda
Bay, writing to you and thinking of
old Ky., and my friends and
relatives there. It is painful but
pleasing reflection separated by
such distance precludes the
possibility of seeing each other but
distance cannot prevent the stretch
of thought like Brutus musing
when beseiged in Phillipi, it
mounts beyond all obstruction and
flies to those scenes rendered dear
by all associations which can draw
the mind, relatives, friends, and
country - But dear Amgi, why new
reflect? My course is taken; the
die is cast and I am now and
probably will be for some time a
resident of Texas but should I
meet with no misfortune, my life
preserved, I will again see
Kentucky but how soon that will
be it is impossible for me to say.
On Monday I hired an old
Mexican horse and mounted an old
saddle tree covered with rawhide
and without any stuffing in it and
out I put into the interior. I was
told I would have no difficulty in
finding the road that it was a plain
wagon road to Santa Anna (the
place for which I was bound)
situated about 20 miles from
Coxe’s Point. I left early in the
morning and instead of a plain
wagon road found a narrow grass
grown path leading through a
prairie spread out before me and
not a tree above the horizon to
relieve the eye. I had not went
more than 10 miles on my steed
(which by the by was a good
model for Cervantes to have
pictured by) before I got lost and
haying no landmark to guide my
course by (the prairie presenting
an uniform appearance) I wandered
about trying to find my path or
some place that I could recollect
but all in vain. Night was now
drawing on and the wolves which
had been lying all day concealed in
the grass now commenced howling
in a most alarming manner and in
great numbers. I now found that is
was necessary for me to camp. I
would, if I could have found a tree
ensconced myself like Robinson
Crusoe among the branches. But
as none was to be found I was
forced to make some other shift,
and having found a little thorn
bush large enough to hitch my
horse to I put down my old
saddletree and laid my head on it
and so took up my lodging for the
night. Such is the history of my
first night in Texas. I rose in the
morning and after a ride of 3 or 4
hours found my road and
proceeded to Santa Anna. I have
determined on settling in that
place. I think I can do well there,
at any rate I will try this project. A
store would doo a first rate
business. There is but one in. the
place and it does not keep goods
more than three months in the
year. I should like to see you
there. I think you could doo a good
business. Remember me to all my
friends, and believe me dear sir.
Your friend and obedient servent.
