Annual
Pancake Breakfast set forSaturday; thrift store open this weekend
These are the last few days
to
get an advance ticket to the
Marshall County Humane
Society’s annual Pancake
Breakfast.
Saturday
morning from
7-10 a.m., we’ll
be cooking
and serving all
the pancakes
and sausage
you can eat for
$5 per person
at the VFW in
Holly Springs. Tickets are available
from any Humane Society
member or at the Rental Barn in
Holly Springs. Give you and yours
a treat and support a worthy cause
at the same time.
While you are out and
about
include a stop by the Humane
Society’s thrift store, Second Time
Around, at 125 Van Dorn in Holly
Springs. Maria is having another
“$7 Bag Sale” which means you
can stuff a 30-gallon bag as full as
possible with all the wearing
apparel, including shoes, belts and
purses it will hold.
If you aren’t interested
in
clothes there are all kinds of other
things from children’s toys to collectible
teapots. Her hours are
from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. on Friday
and from 8 a.m. until 1 p.m. on
Saturday.
With the Pilgrimage upon
us
Marshall County residents are putting
their best feet forward picking
up trash, mowing yards and weeding
flower beds. For pet owners,
especially those in Holly Springs,
there’s one more thing to do -- put
your pets up. The area is going to
be full of visitors and we don’t want
Fido chasing cars and growling at
old ladies or Miss Kitty tracking
prints all over their vehicles, to say
nothing of the pets’ increased
chance of being run over or picked
up as a stray. Let’s play it safe and
avoid problems.
With all your other
activities
don’t get too busy to make an
appointment to get your pet
spayed or neutered. Call 662-252-
6196 for an appointment and be
sure to leave your phone number if
you get the machine. This time of
year, if it’s daylight and not raining
Ann is probably out playing in the
dirt.
For information on
adoptions,
fostering or the Humane Society in
general, call 662-564-2900.
Correspondence and donations
should be sent to the Marshall
County Humane Society, P.O. Box
625, Holly Springs, MS 38635.

Close to Nowhere - First email ever sent goes straight to the President (by Linda Jones)
I sent my very first, personal email the other day over the Internet. I figured, if I was going to do it, do
it right, so I sent email to the President at the White House. Not frivolous email, but an urgent message.
Mrs. Dulon Howel, the oldest member of my church, is going to be 100 years old April 22. We’re hoping
for a letter from the President, congratulating her. One thing I have noticed with the Internet and email
is that it’s mostly guys. It’s rare to find a female. (Writer’s Note: How things have changed in 10 years!)
