Sales up for month, down for year to date
San Marcos is one of the most populated cities in Hays County, so it is no surprise that the sales made in December, which show up in sales tax allocations paid in February, exceeded the other cities in the county by millions of dollars. But not all news was good as the payment year to date is down from 2023, although only by less than one percent. 02/16/2024 12:00 AM

Mother can’t understand why son has walked away
DEAR ABBY: I’ve always been close to my children, but now that they are adults, it seems I’m losing my connection with one of them. He married a girl of a different race, and while that doesn’t bother me, I have a strong hunch she’s the reason he has distanced himself from not only me, but also the rest of the family. 02/14/2024 12:00 AM

Court proclaims February as Black History Month
Court proclaims February as Black History Month
February is National Black History Month, which according to the Association for the Study of African American Life and History website, began in 1926 as a week-long celebration occurring on the second week of Feb. That week was chosen by the ACLH Founder Carter Woodson due to the fact that the birthdays of two men associated with the fight for African American freedom, Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln, occurred during that week. Fast forward to 1986, which was the first year of the celebration of Martin Luther King Jr’s birthday as a national holiday. That same year, the U.S. Congress designated the month of February as National Black History Month, which is still celebrated to this day and will see national and local acknowledgments throughout the month. 02/14/2024 12:00 AM
