Caddo Lake State
Park Area Rich
In History
Marshall A swampy won-
derland shnred by Texas and
Louisiana is the site of one of
Texas' most scenic state parks.
The beauty of moss-draped
cypress treos and shininp waters
has long made Caddo Lake a fa-
vorite for Texas outdoorsmen.
But many Texans have over-
looked the delights of this East
Texas phenomen and also have
bypassed the chance to enjoy
Caddo Lake State Park.
The park blends into the na-
tural surroundings and yet pro-
vides plenty of comforts to make
an overnight camping trip or
just a one-day visit pleasurable.
Caddo Lake is the state's
largest natural lake. It was cre-
ated centuries ago and its be-
ginnings are recorded only in
the folklore of the Caddo Indians
who were living by the lake's
shores when the early settlers
came to the New World.
The Indians told of the earth's
trembling one night with the
sound of jpine trees cracking and
the ground groaning. The next
morning a mighty lake had
risen.
This natural impoundment in
now reinforced by a dam in Lou
isiana but the lake still remainn
much the same as the day it waji
formed.
The Caddo were a peaceable
poople but they moved out of
the area shortly after a ferry
operation was set up in the
1830's at Big Cypress Bayou
This crossing became known as
the town of Jefferson and it
was the crossroads for a number
oFfamous men in Texas history
such as Sam Houston and Davy
Crockett.
This growth accelerated even
more with the coming of steam-
ers up the bayou from the Miss-
issippi River. This prosperity
continued through the Civil War
days although it wouldn't be
long before the railroad bypass
ed Jefferson and the boom decli
ned.
The decline of commerce in
the area may have helped the
Caddo Lake area retain its un-
spoiled appearance. Tho stato
park is a good starting place
for a boat tour of the lake area.

On May the 6th You the Qualified voters of the Holland-
Bartlett Area have a Decision to make on the Candidates of
the many elective offices.
In most cases it is a matter of who is the most qualified
to hold the particular office. One of the last offices on the bal-
lot in the Holland-Bartlett area will be the office of Consta-
ble. The job of Constable has many functions and its chief
function is to serve the court of the local justice of the peace
to which it is assigned. We have not had a justice of the peace
in this area since my resignation however my friend Frank
Wood of Holland is running unopposed for this office and we
shall again have a j. p. which we need and deserve.
In order to have efficient law enforcement the combined
efforts of many agencies are required. In my four years of
law enforcement experience as a j. p. and a Constable I have
worked with the Bell and Williamson Co. Sheriff Depart-
ments Texas Rangers Highway Patrol and City police de-
partments of the surrounding towns. Only through the com
bined help of all of the above agencies are you able to have
quality law enforcement. In working with these people for
the past four years I have earned their full respect and coope-
ration and they have assisted me anytime that I needed help.
If any voter has any doubts about my ability to do my job
or my ability of working with any of these law enforcement
agencies I earnestly ask that he check with these people.
There is no way that one man can handle all the law enforce-
ment work of this precinct alone. He must have the help of
these aforementioned people. There is no way that one can be
elected to any public office alone to be elected he must have
the help and support of 51 per cent of the qualified voters. On
Mayi6th I ask thafcyou be one .of the. 51 per cent and "elect a
man who has training and experience to do the job.
I don't want 100 per cent of the vote I just want yours and
yours and yours. At the last count there were 1000 voters in
the Holland-Bartlett area. I have tried to see as many of you
as possible. If I have missed asking you for your vote I am
sincerely sorry. I take this means of soliciting your vote on May
6th and promise to do my best for the next four years.
