This Week in Texas History

Backed by a new crime-fighting attorney general, who campaigned on a pledge to clean up Galveston, the Texas Rangers finally got their wish and padlocked the Balinese Room on May 30, 1957.

Dear Editor,

Gardeners MAILBAG

Dear Gardeners Mailbag, I have an oak tree with a cavity. Can I use some type of wood filler to fill it and even the surface out?

Congratulations to our Hamilton County high school athletes and scholars who are showing the rest of Texas what champions look like.

You have represented your hometowns, schools and county with dignity and character, and we are proud of you!

There are people in this town who do things just because they need to be done.

Whether picking up a piece of trash on the sidewalk or helping someone stranded on the side of the highway, some folks just take care of things, no big deal.

NO TIME FOR NEGLIGENCE

“What is that? It’s like, a dirigible. Oh wow! Quick! Hang up, go in your back yard and look up!”

“I don’t see it.”

“It’s gone now. It was giant, like a big ship with green lights hanging down. It was like, bigger than a football field.”

“Scary.”

“Yeah. It kinda was.”

Crazy? Perhaps.

I asked my Facebook friends, “Anyone in Hamilton see something strange in the sky about 20 minutes ago?”

Within seconds, answers started to come. Within minutes, 37 responses.

“Friends in Evant saying the same thing.”

“What did it look like?”

Coach Whitaker,

I had the pleasure of being the home plate umpire for your game tonight in Cross Plains.

I had the plate earlier today for two teams in your district. The underdog in that game won and the hate and bitterness bestowed upon me from the players and especially fans of the losing team made me question why anyone would choose to umpire. Luckily, I was able to call your game tonight and the experience was the exact opposite of what I encountered earlier today.
