VIOLENT COMEBACK OF KU KLUX KLAN

Jumpstart a year of wellness with classes at Hamilton Public Library.

First, congratulations to the participants in the Hamilton County Junior Livestock Show. All they do in the year leading up to the livestock show exhibits tremendous commitment, dedication and responsibility. Experiencing the year-long preparation will be something that will help them to continue to be successful in life. Thanks to all the teachers and parents who support them, too.

We are so grateful for the support given us by individuals, churches, civic organizations, schools and others who have donated their time, monetary gifts, canned goods, and other items to United Care.

Happy New Year! Let’s start off the New Year with some good news. Brookshire Brothers donated 51 bags of groceries to the Hamilton Community Center. I would like to thank Jorge and the Brookshire team for their generosity and special thanks to the Ag Mech students who helped unload everything, including Jeffrey Jones, Ace Koether, Jase Jones, Masyn Raibourn and Lawson Yates. We truly appreciate your hard work and willingness to help serve our community.

I was so impressed with him. Soon she was on her way back home.
