Have you ever had a flat on Sunday?

Cowboy culture comes alive for area children

I came from a family of preachers and teachers, so it was a tad rebellious of me to start my worklife in journalism. First at the Victoria TV station in the 1980s, then later at The Victoria Advocate. But one spring day in 2001, a high school student job shadowed me at the paper. 08/14/2024 07:02 AM

Dish-Rag and the Schoolhouse - a true story

Dish-Rag and the Schoolhouse - a true story

Once upon a time, there was a very young community here in De-Witt County that was so small in population that it couldn’t be called a town and was instead known as a settlement. This settlement had a few dozen farm and ranch homes or log cabins spread about, and at its center were some five or so buildings of simple construction and mostly for business. These buildings included a blacksmith shop, a grocer, a dry goods mercantile, a stagecoach stop and inn, a tannery (where animal hides and pelts were being prepared and traded) and after the people pooled their money, a schoolhouse. There could also have been a doctor’s office combined with a drug store and after enough money was raised, a church. 08/14/2024 07:02 AM
