Rain and ginning mark busy week in San Saba
The San Saba News reports the heaviest rain of the year fell Tuesday and Wednesday, swelling Cherokee Creek to a 10 to 12 foot rise and washing away part of the Bill Millican crossing slab. Cotton ginning began Wednesday with five bales ginned last week, and local fields show some crops better than expected. Residents note widespread planting of turnips, mustard, and black eyed peas after the rain while many Sunday and weeklong social visits occur among locals. The Llano Opera House, now under Millard Oats of Austin, announced opening dances featuring the Lone Star Wives of Dallas on September 12 with cordial invitations extended.
