Buncombe Soldier’s Better During Mexican War To regular reader’s of the old letters and papers which have ap peared often in this column, it must seem repetitious each time to write information about where they are from, who, and etc. Whereas, if some explanation were not given, new readers would be at a loss wondering about them. This particular letter, written j to Bud Gash who was the father ! of W. L. Gash, does not tell a great deal about the Mexican War, but by “reading between the lines’’, much can be surmised from the historical standpoint. The letter was not in an envelope, but folded with the address on the outside, •sealed with wax, with the number 10 stamped in one corner. One wonders if the letter cost was in dollars. Surely it could not have been in cents since it was mailed in 1847 when postage was paid by the miles it had to travel to the recipient. It was sent from Buena Vista, Mexico, where five months before General Taylor had won success fully in the campaign fought against Mexico’s Santa Anna, af ter Taylor’s forces, for the most part, had been withdrawn. Note the mention the writer makes of this oceurance. The author, a soldier from Bun combe county, then was on hand to participate in a struggle, which ended in seven new states and parts of Wyoming being added to ! the United States territory, and the establishment of the Rio Grande River as the southern boundry line of the state of Texas. Taylor was made twelfth presi dent two years later. Thus, this chapter of history opened up new and rich country for the move ment of pioneers to the west and the beginning of the gold rush era. This is indeed another reason why all America should be proud of their heritage. Written very legibly, the let- j ter has been copied just as it was > written.

ROUNDUP— From Page 2 Mrs. Mills’ Eighth Grade During the past weeks Mr. Mills’ eighth grade class has had several projects. One of them has been the publishing of the Elementary School Directory. We have com pleted this project and turned over a check for $56.64 to Principal E. V. Gouge. Another project has been the making of aluminum trays. Sev eral of the students took part in this project. There are several steps in the making of these trays. First a design is traced on a piece of aluminum, then tar is painted around the design. The tar is al lowed to dry and the edges of the tray are etched. Acid is poured on the tray. This acid eats away the shiny surface which wasn’t painted. Varsol is then poured on the tray to remove the tar. This leaves a beautiful tray which is a delight to any mother s heart. Several of our fellow class mates have had perfect attend ances. They are as follows: Wayne Dickens, Joyce Taylor, Reil Ledbetter, Hud Haney, Nana Beha, Nelson Gaddy, and Betty For tune. Those on the “A” honor-roll are Brenda Lindsey, Joyce Taylor, Emese Soos, Bonnie McKay, Nana Beha, Connie Taylor, and Betty Fortune. Those on the “B” honor-roll are Ann Ballard, Marie Swann, Bill Hyatt, Carolyn Clevenger, Neil Ledbetter. Bud Haney, Charles Aiken, Martha Raines, and Helen Frye. Bonnie McKay and Betty Fortune, reporters. What It Means to Me to Be Able to Read and Write It means that I have a better chance of getting ahead in the world. I want to be a traveling reporter when I grow up and I wouldn’t have any chance at all of being that if I couldn’t read or write. 1 wouldn t be able to cor respond with my friends or catch up on the daily event of news through the newspaper. To me, to know how to read and write is one of the greatest necessities of life. —By Connie Taylor. What It Means to Me to Be Able to Read and Write. It means a good time in life to be able to read and write. Read ing and writing are important things in life. I am glad I can read and write because I think it is wonderful and I have fun doing it.
