Uncertainty and weighty decisions plague the near future. Texans are hurting from the coronavirus and the pandemic’s many consequences. But – let’s have hope – I’m here to tell you our future is bright.
Since becoming the publisher of the Moore County News-Press, I’ve tried to take a little time each week to unclutter our building a little. It’s amazing how much stuff is accumulated when you’ve been in business for 90-plus years. I’ve come across a lot of things that end up in good old “Fi…

Dear Editor,
The Continental Congress, representing 13 American colonies, adopted the Declaration of Independence 243 years ago this week. Because of this, our nation will once again commemorate its independence with July 4th celebrations from coast to coast. Many such celebrations will take place locally.
