For What It’s Worth From Its Wore A Computer Tale
A humorous wandering column recounts a Christmas week computer crash at Seminole Sentinel. The editor jokes about hiring help, calling a lifesaver Frances Schmidt, and apologizing for delayed papers while praising back ups and Bill Gates. It ends with a tech-support joke about a user told he is too stupid to own a computer.

Letters on Collingsworth County marker and regional history
A Wellington reader argues for an official state roadside marker commemorating Collingsworth County's discovery at the Salt Fork River crossing on U S Highway 83. The letter laments other markers, praises Fred Squyers for historical work, and urges funding to support the historical society's efforts while thanking local responders for a recent fire.
