Photos of Texas by Texans

Palo Pinto County Sheriff Ira Mercer fries some onions to prepare for the county’s annual fish fry and employee training day, held Oct. 24. The county had been kind enough to invite TAC Law Enforcement Specialist Carmella Jones over for a meal; Jones shot the photo and provided the day’s motivational training.

County officials and employees (and anyone else in a Texas county) are encouraged to submit their photos for publication in One Last Look to Jim Lewis, county editor at P.O. Box 2131, Austin, TX 78768. If you want the photos returned, enclose a self-addressed, stamped envelope and we will try to get it back to you in a few weeks. Also, our lawyers tell us that we can’t be held responsible for lost photos, so if you really treasure that snapshot, haven a 5x7 inch copy made at your local photo outlet and then send us a quality duplicate.
