Where is the real hypocrisy?
In the July 9, issue of the Daily Progress there appeared two letters which were each captioned by “hipocracy” [sic.]. I think the letter writers or at least the editors actually meant “hypocrisy”. [Next time they should at least use their computers to check the proper spelling of such words!]
These two letters are the latest in a series of such sarcastic letters by the same two authors. In their usual fashion many of the arguments utilize the same type of “non sequitur” reasoning they had been using all during the recent alcohol campaign. -
Woe, woe, woe
Jacksonville finally voted wet!
We’re told every day to look for the total collapse of our town.
Truth is, Jacksonville has always been wet. -
Shame, shame, shame
When I was a kid, I watched Gomer Pyle. One of the things I always remember is him saying, “Shame. Shame. Shame.”
Those words came to mind recently when Jacksonville started selling beer and wine. -
A slap in the face
There is a critical issue that affects the national security of America — and the safety of all Americans.
It is a wide-open platform in U.S. civilian courts for the Sept. 11, 2001, mastermind, the Christmas bomber and other terrorists. - Alcohol tax ‘face-lift’

Outrageous hipocracy
That a store owner could use the whim of his religious beliefs to not sell alcohol, while at the same time refusing to heed the scientificly established medical evidence regarding the long-established dangers of tobacco consumption is absolutely, irrefutably absurd!
-
Ludicrous hipocracy
Which is more ludicrous?
A business owner who claims that alcohol is against his religion and morals but he must sell it anyway “in order to remain competitive” or the business owners that claim their religion prohibits them from selling alcohol but they continue to sell tobacco, condoms, rolling papers and incense for dopers, and Lotto tickets? -
An unforgetful 4th
July 4th is supposed to be a celebration for America.
Our forefathers went through so much pain and suffering to make America a better place to live and worship and raise our families in a safe environment.
So, on July 4th my family got together to relax and enjoy the time and remember what America should be for us. -
Good job, JEDCO!
Dear Editor,
I was so happy that the Jacksonville Economic Development Council declined to award monies to a local business pending the improvement of the appearance of their facility. HOW FANTASTIC that this Board publically stated that industries who are awarded our tax dollars should be good corporate citizens! -
Salsa title is for whole town’s pride
It’s official! The Guinness World Record folks have certified our effort to break the “World’s Largest Bowl of Salsa” as accomplished. We (Jacksonville, TX) are in the record book, folks.
