TELLS OF EARLY DENTON DAYS
days would si. k buggies and wagons
to the axles.
A tamillir right in the early days,
according to Rev. Cole, were the
caravans of wagons ambling over the
village streets bearing postoak rails
which farmholders were selling In or-
der to purchase barbed wire, which
had recently been Introduced Into the
county. On county farm lands route
be seen any day tenant hands tearing
down the worm-eaten posts and
erecting the wire barriers.
There was one college in Denton
then, and it was what ta now the
Teachers’ College, then privately
owned and known as the Normal

Rev. J. R. Cole, who filled the
pastorate of the First Baptist church
here thirty-two years ago, in the
days when belligerent bartenders
sometimes threatened to kill minis-
terial folk if they appeared on the
village square, when enterprising
youths carried a bottle on one hip
and a pistol on the other, and when
Baptist deacons protested against In-
creasing the pastor’s salary from
$800 to $1,000 per year, was the
guest here d :rl ig the week of Mr.

and Mrs. J. N Raysor. Hie per-
formed the marriage service for Mr.
and Mrs. Raysor forty years ago,
and he and Mrs. Cole were here on
the wedding anniversary which was
celebrated Thursday at the Raysor
home.
Prior to his pastorate here Rev.
Cole was pastor of Mustang, Pilot
Point and Aubrey churches. He was "
pastor of various Baptist churches /
In Denton county for some twenty-
five years.
When Rev. Cole assumed the lo-
cal pastorate the congregation was
composed of 100 members. Parish
calls during those days were made
on foot and with horse and buggy.
On the meager $1000 salary
which was allowed him, a parson-
age had to be maintained. Gener-
ous overtures were made by the
parish occasionally, he explained,
konwn as "poundings,” when a
pound of flour, a pound of sugar,
a pound of meal donated by the
membership brought a new lease of
life to the empty cubbard.
Ministers in those days had to be
on their constant guard against
drunken “rowdles.” Jocular youths
would throw a lasso around a min-
“isterial neck and drag him around
the pulpit. Or missiles of varying
character would be hurled into an
open window, aimed toward the pul-
pit.
In the village streets in those days.
Rev. Cole pointed out, there were
mud holes large enough to be usen
as duck ponds. Rude shanties were
to be seen on the square, and eight
saloons flaunted their seductive signs.
There were no sidewalks and no
bridges. Mud-Bogs and sand-bogs

Among the new deacons who were
ordained during the first year of
Rev. Cole's ministry here included
J. N. Raysor, Richard Wilson, J.
W. Underwood and S. P. Allison

Jarfell was made superintendent of
