Blairpop place31.863611, -094.429722Blair being a fairly populated community, was made popular in song by Tex Ritter called Tenaha, Timpson, Bobo & Blair when the cotton belt train came through or stopped at these stops the conductor would call those as they neared the stops, but Tex Ritter was singing a song about dice throwing and when he wanted to throw a ten, he would call out Tenaha, Timpson, Bobo & Blair, being the rail line from Shrevesport to Houston. In the song, the towns were not called in order, the correct order from north to south is Tenaha, Bobo, Timpson & Blair.USGS &

Witchers Lakelake31.898611, -094.417500There used to be a place that was built there at Witchers Lake where folks would go to dance and drink and meet with their friends. It was like a bar/night club and it was illegal to sale, possess or consume any alcoholic beverages but that was the gathering place during its day.Yvonne Beard
