Newspapers on slippery slope yet vital to local news
The piece argues newspapers face revenue pressure in a weak economy but remain essential. Citing a Missouri Journalism study, it highlights that about 80 percent of US papers have circulation under 15,000, with 8,000 community papers in that group. It notes how readers engage locally, including ads as a draw, modest online use, and reliance on local papers for education, sports, editorials, and government information. Bill Hartman promotes continued local coverage.

McClaren Bridge opens linking Marlow and Cameron in Milam County
In early 1900s Milam County the San Gabriel and Little River crossing hindered travel. R L Batte Sr arranged a land ROW to Cameron in exchange for cotton deliveries to Batte's gin on First Street in Cameron. The $5,000 project, overseen by S W McClaren with E L Horton as contractor, created a vital route for farmers to haul cotton grain cattle and produce to market and offered a shorter road parallel to Highway 36.
