Millions across North America paid homage to the late Martin Luther King, Jr., over the weekend. Since President Ronald Reagan made MLK Day a national holiday in 1983, it has been set aside as such.

On Sunday, Championship Sunday, the San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs punched their ticket to the Super Bowl. Now we have two weeks to wait before a real football game happens.

Dear Editor,

Dear Editor,

In this publication as well as others, I’ve shared Ennis cooks’ favorite recipes over the years but I assure you they are also my favorites.

Next week purports to be a momentous one for testing American’s freedoms. Yes, two events will take place that will try men’s souls.

There is an amusing story that supposedly took place at a funeral years ago. A person of local influence had passed away and naturally drew a large crowd to the service. A few minutes after reading the obituary the minister asked the audience if anyone would like to eulogize. He was astonished as no one responded.

When the puppy came to live with us, he was a six-pound bundle of fur and sad eyes. I believed we could make his life wonderful.

Dear Editor:I would like to commend Mark Warde for his interesting and engaging columns and articles of interest. Plus his first-rate sports reporting. Mark’s writing style draws the reader in with his folksy approach and right-to-the-point commentary. He makes us feel that we are seeing what he sees because of his great descriptions of people and situations. His humor, combined with poignancy, make for a satisfying and enjoyable read. Keep up the great work, Mark!

Dear Editor:I was pleased to learn Joe Gallo had announced his candidacy for Judge - Ellis County Court at Law #3. Joe would bring dependability, fairness and a commitment to follow the law in his role as a County Court at Law Judge. I have known Joe for 18 years and have always found Joe to be an extremely ethical and logical lawyer. I was privy these past 18 years to many interactions with local Defense Attorneys and Ellis County District Attorneys. Joe’s reputation with local attorneys has always been that Joe Gallo is an honorable and respected attorney. My interactions with Joe in numerous public events easily proved to me that if I had the chance to nominate and elect Joe Gallo for an Ellis County Court at Law Judge position; then I’d be first in line.
