Caddo Peak-Its Fertile Valleys and
Grand Visit0rs--A Joke.

Correspondence OF the Gazette.
Caddo Peak, February S.--Possibly
the point of the greatest altitude In
Northwest Texas is Caddo Peak,
about two miles west of Caddo station
lately styled Joshua. This beautiful
mound rises in imposing grandeur in
the midst Of as fertile valleys and
hilIocks MS can be found in this great
and prosperous empire, to the height
of about three hundred feet above the
surrounding country, and about seven
or eight hundred feet above the level
of the sea. Fifteen or twenty minutes
drive from the railroad station brings
the visitor TO this lovely peak, where
once the noble red man was wont To
WELD his dreadful tomahawk and bow
and arrow in defiance To all invaders.
| Reaching the summit of this rock
capped mound, the eye wonders In In
creasing splendor over field after field,
dotted here and there with acres of
flourishing grain, newly ploughed
ground, and an abundance of healthy
looking timber, interspersed with d.
vers brooks and rivulets which, taken
all in all. compose some of the most de-
sirable farming and stock-raising
country In the world.
Aboard of those elegantly fitted |

travellers, view scenes that fill the soul |

Seated upon Allegheny's world-re-
nowned Point Lookout at Chatta-
nooga, the still waters of the Tennessee

meadows, hills and mountains, grand
to behold. Even the great valley of
the Nile, with all that has been said
and written Of these, does not offer a
more sublime nor enchanting picture
of the earth's panorama than this
proud peak. N palatiai residences,
artificial cavern5, Hover gardens
