however, if there are descend-

who liavt not been contacted,
they are urged to attend. The

Resting places of seven other
Texas Revolutionary veterans
will be marked subsequently on
j the tour in programs at the
Early Chapel Cemetery near
Lexington, at the Old C i t y
Cemetery in La Grange, and
in Victoria's Evergreen Ceme-
tery.
Members of the committee
will also participate in Texas
Independence Day ceremonies
at Washington-on - the Brazos,
unveil at Gonzales the first of
1.000 Historical Building Med-
allions. and visit restored build-
ings and reclaimed cemeteries
at Hallettsville, Victoria, Gol
lad, Ciiero, and Hochheim.
The pilgrimage has a dual
purpose: to recognize the work
that county historical survey
committees have done in preser-
ving local hi.-t.oric shrines and
to emphasize the value of such
work in attracting tourist- to
Texas.
All three of the Bastrop men
whose graves will be marked
were veterans of San Jacinto.
According to information re-
ceived from George W\ Hill, ex-
ecutive director of the Texas
Stati Historical Survey Com-
mittee, Holderman. a native of
Kentucky, came to Texas in
1 s:il and served in the volun-
teer army of Texas in October
and November, 18,'bl. During
December, lKbl, he was a con
tractor, wagoner, and supplier
for the army.
In late February, 18,'Hi, he
joined Capt. Thomas McGe-
hee's company of scouts watch-
ing the country between San
Marcos and San Antonio.
About March 1, he joined
Capt. Jesse Billingsley's com-
pany of volunteer- at Gonzales
and subsequently - <• r v e d as
soldier and scout for the Re
public of Texas.
Jenkins has been referred to
as "the boy soldier of the re
volution," serving in Gen. Sam
Houston's ar- iy as it retreated
from Gonzales to Burnam's
('tossing on the Colorado River.
There he '.va- discharged and
sent to Hastrop "to go home
and care for his mother" who
was ii. ide a widow when the
Alamo fell.
He is said to have aided hi
family and neighbors in escap-
ing the invading Mexican arm

Pledges Hard
Work As Mavor
Bastrop has been good to
me and my family. 1 am grate-
ful to the people for whatever
measure of success I have re-
ceived in my own business ven-
tures, and it is with a sincere
feeling of responsibility and
gratitude to these people that
I am offering myself as a can-
didate for mayor.
As to my qualifications, I
believe I have a clear insight
into the problems that con-
front u.-, because of the fact
that 1 have served in some ca-
pacity in every civic and fra-
ternal organization in Bastrop.
This experience in itself is val-
uable to the mayor of any
town, as it should give him an
overall picture of the problems
of the community, and the
needs of the people. This ex-
perience has helped me make
friends and contacts that should
be beneficial.
1 am 44 years old and a vet-
eran of World War 11. I am
young enough to believe that
my future is ahead of me—
and I believe that Bastrop's fu-
ture is my future. I ask you
for a chance to make it a bet-
ter future for all of us. I will
work hard to help accomplish
thi.-, and 1 assure you that if
you elect me, you will not re-
gret it.
I feel that Bastrop is bless-
ed with the best people in the
world, and that nothing is
wrong with Bastrop that a
progressive and ambitious lead-
ership would not cure. 1 pro-
mise that, if 1 am elected on
April 3, 1 will be a hardwork-
ing mayor for all of the people,
and that I will work toward
projecting a progressive atmos-
phere in Bastrop. This, I
think, is most important, be-
cause the atmosphere of any
town must be right before it
can grow and prosper.
Now the program 1 have in
mind is not one designed to
increase your city taxes. 1 am
a property owner myself, and
have no desire to see my own
taxes increase*!. Neither would
I like to see any extra burden
placed upon the fixed incomes
of citizens and older people
living here on small incomes.
I feel that a closer look and
a fresh viewpoint at what we
already have will produce much
greater advantages to the peo-
ple of Hastrop.
If I am elected your mayor,
1 want every one of the peo-
ple to feel that they have a
man they can talk to and dis-
cuss theii own individual pro-
blems with. I will always
feel that your problems are my
problems, and that my time is
yours. I will be grateful for
your vote and influence in the
coming election.
Sincerely.
