Be on the lookout for construction workers holding “slow” and “stop” signs on Young and S. Hughes streets today and in the foreseeable future. A pilot car will lead you in and out of town on FM 902.
Recovered 1938-1945 Howe Messenger newspapers along with 1963-1982 Howe Enterprise newspapers were delivered today to The University of North Texas. They will be scanned in their entirety. Once they are scanned, they will be uploaded to http://texashistory.unt.edu/explore/collections/TDNP/ for the world to see.
Thanks to a grant that was secured, the cost of the project was free. The archived history of Howe, Texas in these newspapers is invaluable to The City of Howe, the citizens of Howe and students of Howe that all will be able to research city history in the future for free right at their fingertips.
Special thanks to the N.D. Moses family for keeping every edition of the Howe Enterprise from 1963-1982. The only missing year in the collection was 1979. If someone has those editions, please contact Monte Walker at mwalker@howeenterprise.com. Those are still available to scan with this group should they be found.
Howe woke up to a brilliant rainbow in the western sky this morning.
