Oak Tree at Library...

1 year ago By News Staff
Sadly, the once giant and majestic (probably 100 years old) Oak tree that stood on the west side of the J. R. Huffman Public Library property is no more. It started dying and had become a danger to people and property due to its enormous size and potential of falling limbs. A to Z Tree Service, a local Hemphill company for over 25 years (owner and crew is pictured above), came to the rescue Saturday morning and removed the tree...free of charge. That's not only great service, that's the Hemphill way of neighbor helping neighbor!

Point... Counterpoint

Hello once again my friends! It is once again that time of the week known as Point/Counterpoint! The question this week is should Texas education employees be allowed to receive Social Security? Technically educators in Texas can receive Social Security payments in addition to their Teacher Retirement but rarely do because the majority of school districts in Texas do not require employees to pay into Social Security. In certain cases where said employee was a widow or a widower they could receive their spouse’s Social Security benefits, but their own TRS funds would be reduced by two thirds of their original benefits.

1 year ago By From Ap
President Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 race for the White House on Sunday, ending his bid for reelection after a disastrous debate with Donald Trump that raised doubts about the incumbent’s fitness for office. The unprecedented announcement, delivered less than four months before the election, immediately upended a campaign that both political parties view as the most consequential in generations.
