On June 28, 1914, an historic event occurred that changed the world forever. Five thousand miles from the United States, a European arch-duke was shot and killed.

Yesterday afternoon, the lights went out in Center, Texas. For several hours, over a thousand homes and businesses (including First Baptist Church) had no power.
