Collingsworth and Childress Counties seek to push Burlington Northern to salvage or repurpose the Wellington to Childress spur, citing a Supreme Court ruling that abandoned right of way may become public use space. Residents urge commissioners to unite, pressure the railroad, and consider trails for joggers and cyclists. The piece also notes cable TV plans and Cowboys franchise turmoil as contemporaneous items.

A long montage recalls Sam Norwood and Temple Hall’s romance begun in Alabama in 1876, their Texas move in 1897, and years on a Dozier Creek farm. The Palm Fork district touts soil care honors for John Brim and Deskins Wells, while local projects open roads and stage a Chicken Lifters Convention. Wellington items note basketball honors, grass fires, National Guard changes, mortuary studies, chamber awards, and rye production highs in Collingsworth County.
