Texas town
of 12 split
over church
MENTONE, Texas <AP) - A Texas
town of 12 has almost come to
blows over the proposed move of
its only church, an occasionally
used Western structure that has
survived two Pecos River floods.
Most residents of Mentone,
misnamed by a homesick French
prospector for the Riviera resort
of Menton, are upset because the
Ranching Heritage Center at Texas
Tech University plans to spend
$50,000 to move the one-room
country church 200 miles to Lub
bock by Christmas.
Wild West buffs could marry
within the Heritage Center if the
Mentone Community Church is
moved to the 20-acre complex,
Texas Tech officials say. The
Heritage Center has several 1800s
era buildings, but no church, said
aide Kelley Brown.
Loving County Commissioner
Ann Blair is unsure whether it's
wise to move the steepled church,
the most famous structure in a
shrinking town that primarily sur
vives now from its oil revenues.
“It's a landmark," she said. "The
building means a lot to a lot of
people."
Blair and the four-member com
missioner's court held a public
hearing Tuesday in an attempt to
calm residents who objected to
losing their town's only house of
worship.
Mentone is a dry, one gas sta
tion town that hauls its drinking
water from Pecos and Kermit, and
has shrunk steadily since the
1940s, when it had 285 residents. A
one-room post office rises from
the mesquite shrubland around
this arid town, but Mentone has
no doctor or hotel.
Sheriff Elgin Jones said the
brouhaha over the church is much
ado about nothing.
"I'm going to be friends with
whomever wins, and friends with
whomever loses," he said. "It's
just not that big a deal."
But Sissy Keen, who helps run
Keen's Cafe, the only cafe in this
patch of high Texas desert, says it
is.
"They want to take away our on
ly church," she said. "The only
way I'd go for it is if they
guarantee that the day they take
the church away, someone builds
us another church."
Such talk irritates Loving Coun
ty Commissioner Jim Wheat.
"They make a fuss out here over
some of the smallest things."
Texas Tech says the church
would bear a plaque acknowledg
ing its origins.
The controversy over the church
could result in a town referen
dum, Blair said. Either that, or a
guarantee that Mentone builds a
new church with its own tax
money to replace the departed
one.
