It takes an interpreter to go shopping these days. A stroll through a department store is like entering a land where fabrics hang like strange apparitions teasing one’s imagination.

To the Editor: Will Martin’s letter last week made some good points. Ever rising property taxes are damaging and unfair for people and families in varying economic circumstances.

To the Editor: My name is Crystal Taylor, 20 yr. resident of Fayette County, and mother of Meadow Elizabeth Taylor-Marklin, a 16 yr.

To the Editor: I implore the Fayette County Record to resist the attempt by the “anonymous” woman to simply ignore the history of “The Chicken Ranch” because it might be an “uncomfortable discussion” for some.

Cows kill more people every year than sharks. And ranching has its many hazards, too.

The La Grange Leopards pSheriff T.J. Flournoy returned from Shiner late Friday with the 65-year-old reader-advisor in custody who had promised to cure an eastern Fayette County resident’s illness. The victim, who wished to remain anonymous, told Sheriff Flournoy that he and his wife had visited the healer on several occasions. On the most recent trip, she offered him pills that made him ‘crazy in the head.’ The readeradvisor then instructed him to go to his bank and withdraw $6,000 to affect a cure for the hex. After regaining his senses, the victim said he decided to call the sheriff’s office. Held on a felony theft charge overnight, the reader-advisor was released Saturday morning on her own recognizance after $3,000 was returned to the victim with the understanding that the remaining $3,000 would be repaid within 30 days. It was thought she may have also been responsible for stealing $70 from an Engle woman several weeks earlier.
