Marshall County Humane Society News

Flea market set for Saturday at VFW

The Marshall County Humane Society is having its first meeting of the year next Tuesday, January 16, at 6 p.m. at the public library in Holly Springs. We will be scheduling our fund raisers for the upcoming year and setting priorities on our projects so this is an especially important get-together.

If you are interested in becoming a member this would be the right time to jump in at the start of this new year. Everyone is welcome to come and discuss your concerns and, hopefully, suggest solutions.

This weekend is Second Saturday. Join us at the VFW in Holly Springs between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. and see what great bargains you can find. The variety is limited only by the imaginations of the vendors.

If you are interested in a booth for a future Second Saturday call Lynn Pullen at 901-490-8553.

Our low-cost Spay/Neuter Clinic will be closed Wednesday, January 17, but will resume our regular Wednesday schedule thereafter. If you need an appointment for your pet call 662-252-6196. Yes, I’m answering the phone again.

A mosquito chased me around my backyard last week, a reminder to dump any standing water after all this rain and keep the heart worm prevention treatments on schedule.

For information on adoptions, fostering or anything but the Spay/Neuter Clinic call 662-564-2900.

Correspondence and donations should be sent to the Marshall County Humane Society, P.O. Box 625, Holly Springs, MS 38635.

New pipeline

A new natural gas transmission line is being laid north of Waterford in the area where Hwy. 7 will be relocated. The new pipe is stronger to withstand the additional weight of the new, relocated highway. The pipeline is owned by Tennessee Natural Gas Transmission Co., which supplies natural gas to the Holly Springs Utility Department.

County to be computerized; Cooper reelected president

Ash said this particular type system will be a first in the state and will be funded by the Appalachian Regional Commission. Joe Cooper was elected to his eighth term as president of the Marshall County Board of Supervisors. Permission was given to Sheriff Osborne Bell to junk his old patrol car after last week’s fire. Sheriff Bell also discussed a problem with a homicide last week. He said he had a great deal of difficulty finding a storage place for the victim’s body. He made a request that the board talk with the hospital board to see if a morgue can be added on to their current construction.
