There have been several small showers during the past week and rain we still need for we had a dry late summer and fall. The days have been in the fifties and sixties for the most part and nights in the mid to low thirties. If the predictions for this week manifest it will be cool in the daytime and in the low twenties and teens during the night. I do not like this cold weather; it seems the cold wind just blows right through me. Those I know of who are sick either at home, in nursing facilities or in the hospitals are: Kasey Baker, Jerry...

December 17, 1953 The Herald reported that 3,000 people attended the Christmas parade held on the afternoon of Saturday, December 12, 1953. After the parade was over, Santa Claus handed out 2,000 nickelstick candies, 1,200 oranges, and 2,000 stickers to children. Officials from the Natchez Trace Parkway reminded residents that it was illegal to cut Christmas trees and holly from the Trace. “Any person caught cutting trees, holly, other shrubs from the Parkway for use in holiday decorations would be subject to prosecution for violation of S...
Christmas Is Legal I’ve been publishing this information for many years and every year it seems to reach more than it did the year before. My hope would be that it will serve as a reminder to everyone what Christmas is truly about and that each year it reaches someone new. I hope you enjoy it. As Christmas approaches and we all look forward to celebrating the holiday season, many begin to wonder just what the law says about religious expression. I would like to offer some clarification about wha...
“The right place at the right time.” I realize that not everyone recognizes Jesus Christ as the Son of God (or even a real person); but for Christians, his birth, ministry, death and triumph over death fit the “right place at the right time” for fulfilling prophecies of the Messiah. Perhaps that is one of the most constructive themes to explore this holiday season and in the coming year: striving to be in the right place at the right time. Common courtesy dictates punctuality and followi...
There are many quotes about entertaining guests for more than a few days, warning that if you make it too comfortable for them, they will not want to leave. Benjamin Franklin famously quipped that a house guest is like a fish: Each begins to stink after three days. This may seem a bit harsh, especially since the holiday season is a time of joy, celebration, and, for many, the gathering of family and friends. As a host, adopting an approach that treats guests as if your home were a comfortable bed and breakfast can create a memorable...
HEALTH The first thing to know is that health is your birthright and is always present. Think of the times that you have healed a cut, resolved a bruise, overcome an infectious illness, and even forgiven someone who you were angry with. Some people have cured their diabetes, high blood pressure and even cancer. The current state of your health is the accumulation of your life experiences. As you learn to make better choices that support health, you may be surprised by what your body is capable of. Do you want to feel better? Have less pain,...

‘Twas the night before Christmas, he lived all alone, in a one-bedroom house made of plaster and stone. I had come down the chimney with presents to give, and to see just who in this home did live. I looked all about, a strange sight I did see, no tinsel, no presents, not even a tree. No stocking by mantle, just boots filled with sand, on the wall hung pictures of far distant lands. With medals and badges, awards of all kinds, a sober thought came through my mind. For this house was different, it was dark and dreary, I found the home of a S...
