Reader seeks like-minded Samaritans To the Editor: I’ve been sending boxes of paperbacks to soldiers overseas for several years but my last soldier came home and I don’t have an address for another one to send the books to. If you have someone in the service who might like to receive a box of murder […]

To the Editor: I am writing in regards to the proposed landfill/transfer station that Green Group Holdings (GGH), a Georgia-based waste company, is striving to inflict upon our county and specifically our area.

To the Editor: Thanks once again to the citizens of Lockhart, Luling, and surrounding communities who turned out in force to support Caldwell County Habitat for Humanity, and for donating their gently-used, new or nearly-new  treasures to be sold at the Second Annual Garage Sale.
