A single car accident at Lake Bob Sandlin claimed a life on September 16 when a Dodge Charger was driven into the lake near Camp Shiloh Lutheran Retreat. According to reports, the victim has been identified as Adonis Niyurukundo, 23, of Dallas, who drove into the lake off the boat ramp.

Another one of the exciting musical acts to take the stage at the upcoming Titus County Fair will be the Darrin Morris Band. With their latest release “Like Whiskey” climbing the charts, and a list of former chart toppers like “I Will” and “Wrap You up in Love” the Darrin Morris Band is one of the hottest acts in Texas music today. With a show that has been forged in the fire on stages across the country and in their home state, the group’s hard work is paying off. The band continues to build momentum performing at clubs, casinos, fairs and high-profile events including the Longview Cattle Baron’s Ball, the Great Texas Balloon Race and the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.
