Engulfed in flames is a vacant home located at 7015 Bluffton Street in San Saba. This photo was taken on Friday, May 8th, about 11:50 p.m. This is the same home where three people were stabbed to death in the early morning hours of Friday, February 21, 2020.
Happy to pose with their masks and gloves are servers for the day (L-R) Tonya Marie Acuna and Jennifer Blocker. Next to Jennifer is Shelby Cisneroz who wears her mask while filling in as hostess and cashier that day. These pretty ladies are switching out roles to help things flow smoothly at Pepperbelly’s. Notice the plastic wrap around the chairs to prevent customers from seating and to stay within the 25% occupancy limit guideline. Photo by Donna Webb

With the Governor’s order to reopen Texas, I was so happy to be able to actually sit down at a table to eat a lunch time meal. I don’t just mean to eat the meal but to be able to eat it on real plates, use real silverware, and at least listen to the nonsensical chatter of those doing the same.

Editor’s Note–Part 49(k) in a continuing series. “Do you remember his riding with you in a spring wagon?” “Yes, sir.” “Didn’t he tell you he had joined the mob for the purpose of breaking them up, and he had agreed to feed and keep members overnight and go on their bonds?”

It’s a great day to be a Dillo! Prior to my career in education, I was a cabinet and furniture maker. I took pride in my work. One thing that was drilled into me by my mentors was to do things right the first time.

Jordan Cattle Auction

News Staff
Wednesday, May 6, 2020
Receipts totaled 1,814 head. The market continued softer this week with COVID-19 problems in several of the packing houses limiting the number of fat cattle processed causing a good many cattle to be backed up in the feedyard. Also, we are beginning to see more fleshy new crop calves coming to town.
