is well pleased with the first cuttings
of his crop, because of the fine quality
of hay and the average good price be-

suffered severe losses because of the
rain and high waters.

the fact that 52 years ago, Weatherford
had a hand consisting of 16 memlbers
whose names I will give, as far as I
can remember: John Humphrey, Bill
Hart, Dan Clark, Jack Robison, W. T. I
Booker, J. R. Rabb, Ed Spracklin,
George N. Heifrin, John Whitsol and |
Bill Whitsol, the other names I cannot
remember, constituted the first band
organized in Weatherford, at which
time there was no other band nearer
than Dallas to my recollection. At
that time the people of Weatherford
seemed to appreciate to the fullest ex-
tent the efforts on the part of the band
to make good, and to show you how
Weatherford has always been held in
highest esteem as a town of musicians
we were called upon to go to Palo
Pinto town for their entertainments
and to show you the appreciation of
the citizens of Palo Pinto at that time,
we were met some three miles east
of Palo Pinto by a number of citizens
of said town, together with the sheriff
of said county, whose name was Tom
Wilson, and by the way, the father of
our esteemed Federal Judge, James C.
Wilson, of Fort Worth, who escorted
us into the little city where we were
met with open arms by the entire com-
munity, and to say we appreciated
their presence and earnestness in, the
premises, expresses it mildlyt We
were also called upon to make a trip
to Thorp Springs, the great education-
al center at that time, known as Ad-
dr,an College, to furnish music for their
entertainments. We were also called
to Springtown, to assist in entertain-
ments and at Weatherford, we seemed
to be the center of attraction when
there was anything doing.
[ make these statements to show
the people of Weatherford, as one of
the citizens what high esteem I hold
j the members of the Weatherford Mu-
nicipal Band, and I believe the entire
city takes pleasure in joining me and
l saying that we are exceedingly proud
j of our hoys, and I am only sorry that
| a]t Weatherford did not turn out even
| at the hour of midnight and meet
them on their return from San Angelo
and show tc them beyond a reasonable
doubt how well we appreciate the ad-
vertisement they have given Weather-
ford. To my mind we have had no
publication heretofore that will do us
any more good than the one as given
by the band hoys. Yours truly,
GEORGE N. HEIFRIN.

step-child.” the Weatherford band be-
ing in a strange city without .friend or
relative and without blaring mega-
I phones to announce their presence.
| When Conway King went to register
his members and pay the required
I $2.50 per member of the band, the reg-
jlstrar hesitated about accepting Con-
way’s check nad asked for “The Sec-
retary of the Chamber of Commerce
| of Weatherford.” King must have
| boon embarrassed. Who wouldn’t
have been? Not a soul there in an
official capacity from the Chamber of
Commerce, as there was with every
i other band competing. However, the
j check was accepted and twenty-eight
j members registered at a cost of $70.00.
Thq hoys never suspeiioned that they
would be required to pay a registra-
tion fee, especially for each individual
member of the band It was adver-
tised that San Angelo was giving tho
$2,000 cash prizes, but it figures out
that the aggregate amoi t.t turned n
by tec competing bands -vas nearly
two thousand dollars. The losers in
the contest's, were 'users 'ndceii As
a matter of fact, the competing bands
mice up a pot, as it were, ana then
Jcor.i;! :cd for it. H i ! Weathe;feed
io<; first money, the beys would have
been out 11 eir $70 ”0 besides the f‘00
it required to pay thel. expenses.
However, Weatherford Band is not
kicking about the registration fee of
$70 because they won the big prize.
Besides, when the welcoming band of
loval citizens met the returning he-
roes at Millsap, Pierce Lanier advanc-
ed his best foot foremost and present-
ed the treasurer with a check for one
hundred and fifty dollars, which had
been subscribed by business men here
Thursday after receiving the news of
the winning of the championship.
The band boys are happy and con- j
tented, and Weatherford as a whole is j
rejoicing over their -feat. The band
boys and their officials desire to ex-
press thanks and appreciation to all
of those who assisted in making the
trip by furnishing cars and otherwise
lending aid. Also those who so gra-
ciously contribut to the Loving Fund
are thanked profusely.
The highest words of praise that
could have been offered were thoseNof
Chairman Ezell, of the judging com-
mittee, who is director of one of the
most famous professional bands in
Texas. He said:
“The Wetaherford band acquitted
itself like a band of professional mu-
sicians. I was very much surprised
at the way they rendered their heavy
number. The leader. Conway King,
displayed splendid ability in his in-
terpretation of his three numbers and
the members played under the baton
as seasoned professional musicians.”

state. While he hat! lived on into this
time of a new civilization and of re-
markable inventions, his day of youth
and action was far back in the raw
time when the star of Texas was just
rising above the horison. When Mr.
Breshears came to this country about
tho year 1847. it was not a life of ease
that beckoned to him, but one of hard-
ship and adventure-. It was to carve
out a home in the wilderness and to
fight off savage foes who menaced
h!s life and property day and night.
It required men of stem character j
andpecuiiar virtues to weather the
storms of the life they had to live,
and such a man, was W. C. Breshears.
It was men of his stamp who built
up and left this great state as a lega-
cy to us who live now and to those
who will come after us.
Mr. Breshears was married twice,
ard he is survived by his second wife,
by one son, R. S. Breshears and by one
daughter, Mrs. John Hall. Funeral
services took place at the Brock Bap-
tist church, Friday afternoon at 3:00
o’clock. Rev. M. E. Weaver conduct-
ed. the services and burial was made
in the family burying ground on the
old Breshears farm.

W. C. Breshears
W. C. Breshears. one of the last re-
maining of the pioneers of Texas and
Parker county, passed away quietly
at his rome near Brock. Thursday at
4 p.«m.
Mr. Breshears would have been S6
years of age on tbe Stli of June. His
was the distinction perhaps of having
be”n in Parker county longer than any
person now living. He was born in
Virginia in 1837 and came to Texas
with his family when he was 10 years
of age. The family settled in Parker
county and he had been a continuous
resident of this section since that time
having therefore been living in this
county tor the period of 76 years.
It is hard for us of the present gen-
eration to have any true conception of
I tho life of this early settler who almost
I like Boone, blazed his way into the
wilderness of a new and undeveloped
