    Happy belated birthday to Jade Dearman who turned 21 on December 29.

    Happy belated anniversaries to Floyd and Mary B. Todd, December 28 and to Jimmy and Dianne Simmons for December 23.

    Our community was saddened by the death of Era Nix, a wonderful mother, and friend to everyone who came in contact with her. She was a gentle soul and worked into her 90s. She was 94 years old and she will be missed by all.

  • You know the holidays have ended when you see the yellow school buses go buzzing by. Another year has rolled off the books and we are beginning a new one. We can hope to be a little smarter and wiser this year. Lots of work to be done, which in this household includes boxing up the balance of Christmas decorations. Valentines are already displayed in stores so here we go again. Happy 2008.

    Happy Birthday to Gladys Randle, of Tupelo, whose birthday is tomorrow, January 12.

  • Intended for last week:

    Congratulations to Connie Twitty of Pontotoc who recently celebrated her 99th birthday. She is the widow of Elmer Twitty who was a board member and school trustee at Hurricane High School. Her children includes the following: Buddy Twitty, Charles Twitty, and the late Pat Twitty Mooneyhan.

  • Christmas is around the corner and all I can think about is the Christmas past when the family was all together and we would have a few gifts to pass out and a lot of fruit, candy canes, and the food out was of this world, because it was all made from scratch. You didn’t get the finest of clothes, pc, cameras and so on, but you appreciated what you got because you knew your mom and dad worked so hard to get you these items with small wages and you would more than likely not get anything else till the next Christmas.

  • Sometimes good intentions can turn out wrong. In last weeks column I mentioned Christmas Cards for A recovering American Soldier, to be sent to a medical center. I heard on the National News broadcast the cards cant be delivered without having a persons name. Anyway, the thought was good.

    We send sympathy to the family of Geraldine Ligon who was buried last week. She is survived by a daughter Clara Carter of Meridian, two sons Larry Ligon and Wayne Ligon of New Albany and several grand children and great grand-children.

  • The outside scenery is not quite as pretty now since most of the beauty that was displayed with so many colors of leaves is now gone just bare trees and the beauty gone too. But in our minds there is a period of rest and when the time arrives again new life will show up and there will be beauty again. However, there is still a view now and nature is being displayed in a different way, with the season changes.
