Higher ground picked for site
COLUMNISTS NOTE: This lithe
second of two parts on the burning of
the San Jacinto County courthouse
in 1915 and the subsequent move*of
the town to the site of the newer
courthouse on higher ground.
★ ★ ★
The courthouse was finished in
May 1917, at long last, and furniture
was already being moved in. Tax
assessor Jim Hade was the first to
move in, and he was followed by
most county officers in the next two
weeks. In June, McCardell’s Drug
store moved to the north side of the
courthouse, and others moving were
Hansbro and postmaster Mc-
Clanahan, who was given permis-
sion to use a room in the west end of
the courthouse for the post office.
The old printing office was moved
to be used as the City Restaurant
and T.L. Ross moved his two-story
office building.
Just in time for the Fourth of July,
an American flag was given to the
county by a local group to top off the
courthouse. And to top off the holi-
day, the people of the county decided
to have a big Fourth of July celebra-
tion, the first in years.
The big event attracted over two
thousand people from all over East
Texas - Houston, Fostoria, Guase,
Livingston and Cleveland, to name a
few. Music was furnished by the
Hoo-Hoo Band of Lufkin. Rep.
F uller, speaker of the Texas House
(who was from Coldspring), provid-
ed political observations. Baseball
teams from Cold Springs, Livingston
and Cleveland kept the crowds
cheering. (Cold Springs lost to Ijv-
ingston 4-2.) Over a hundred
automobiles — the use and populari-
ty of which had emerged during this
same period — took part in a parade
through the new town. Everyone
agreed it was one of the finest get-
togethers ever held in Coldspnng
The street which today leads to the
old town site, known for years as
"Old Town," now deadends just
around the old town square, and all
the buildings around it are gone ex-
cept for the Jail. If you look, you can
still find remnants of sidewalk half
buried in the grass.
The old jail, used until just a few
years ago since the 1890’s, has
become a well preserved landmark
and today serves as a museum.
Not long after the fire there was
talk of developing the old courthouse
square into a city park, but nothing
came of it. Today it’s finally happen-
ed. For the past few years the
historical group in San Jacinto Coun-
ty has been moving heritage-type
structures and buildings onto the old
square adjacent to the jail-museum
and developing a historical park.
Old Town lives again, and if you're
nostalgic at all, it's worth the drive
over there.

Speaking of San Jacinto County,
early in the last decade when a
movie company was using locales
over there to shoot some exteriors
for the made-for-TV movie "The
FBI and the Ku Klux Klan," I went
over there as a reporter and inter-
viewed the unit director. The story
was supposed to take place in the
1930’s.
When I was there they were
shooting scenes for the opening
credits which showed a vintage auto
full of what were supposed to be
sleazy , redneck types driving down
a country road.
In one shot the cars and actors
were supposed to pass an old church,
where they wanted an elderly and
destitute black gentleman outside at
the mailbox. An extra to be hired
among the locals.
They found a perfect old
gentleman in the area, but if they
liked the way he looked in the clothes
he was wearing, they apparently
didn't bother to tell him. When he
showed up for the shoot, he was
wearing a tuxedo, a top hat and a
sash across his chest full of colorful
ribbons.
As you can guess, that was one
scene that didn't make the final
pnnt.

OVERTON - With winter weather
hanging on, some livestock pro-
ducers are wondering if they coufd
get some growth out of winter
pasture planted this time of year.
Generally, none of the winter
forages grow very much during ex-
treme cold, says Dr. Sim A. Reeves,
Jr., agronomist for the Texas
Agricultural Extension Service.
If additional forage is needed, it is
generally best to wait until

February and plant rye giass. With
the weather cooperating, the
ryegrass could provide grazing six
to seven weeks after the February
planting. This means that grazing
from newly planted ryegrass wall not
be available until at least the middle
of March.
Therefore, the economics of
winter planting of forages could be
questionable. Only a short grazing
period for the winter planted
ryegrass would be available under
the best of conditions. Reeves says
that many factors determine the
success of such a program. All alter-
natives such as buying supplemental
feed or additional hay should be con-
sidered.
