The history recalls Col. Mitchell as first county clerk who taught school for the Carter family at twenty dollars a month. In 1846 he won the seed court house contract earning one hundred fifty dollars in script at twenty five cents on the dollar.

Mississippi visitor sees Brazos County as poultry center
Mississippi visitor H J Schlafley, head of the Jackson Chamber agricultural committee, urges Brazos County bankers to back a poultry program like Hinds County. He notes 10 demonstration farms with 300 pure bred chicks each, funded by a $5,000 revolving loan pool at 6 percent, limited to borrowers vetted by county and home demonstration agents. The plan, he says, has paid for itself and could fit Brazos County with a $3,000 fund. The Schlafleys are guests at M L Parker's home.
