Area Correspondents

The fall harvest for the community for years gone by included cotton with the T. J. Hale Gin being a hub of activity at the intersection of Hwy. 346 and Thaxton Road.  Recently as I drove through the "Nation" at the old "Rabbit Ranch" area there were fields of sweet potatoes being harvested.  The south side of the community is also known as "Who'd A Thought It." 

Aren’t we enjoying the cooler weather?  If you are not, just think back a few weeks to the terribly hot weather we had.  I’ll take cold weather over hot most any day.

Good news of the week.  Little Mr. Max Bullock came home this week.  He now weighs four pounds and eight ounces.  He is the son of Jalon and Christy Whiteside Bullock.  Grandparents are Lania and Brenda Bullock and Mr. and Mrs. Phillip Whiteside.

Terri Azlin  and Dustin Kenneth Pounders of Pinedale, Miss., welcomed son Nathan Lee Pounders into the world on September 10, 2010 at Baptist Memorial Hospital-Union County. He weighed 6 pounds 14 ounces and measured 19 1/2 inches long. He was greeted by his brother Jackson Wayne Pounders, 6 years old and his sister Sidney Elizabeth Pounders 11 years old.
