Stressed
This Friday the 13th proved to be unlucky
and rather stressful.
The Tuesday before, during crunch time
on deadline day, our main computer server was continuing to malfunction.
We’ve had slight problems with it the past few weeks. That morning
it needed immediate attention.

Friday the
13th friends
Friday the 13th was very stressful here
at the newspaper. Saturday, Sunday and Monday weren’t too great
either and Tuesday started out in pretty much the same vein.
Computers, as efficient and helpful as
they are, are a royal pain when they go bonkers.

The Preacher’s
Corner
By Rev. Dr. Milton Winter
Embarrassing
when I flub my words
Recently I received a wonderful gift,
the volume on “Language” from the revised edition of the
Encyclopedia of Southern Culture. Since preachers, along with journalists,
teachers and lawyers, are people who get their living by words, this
volume on “language,” especially as we Southerners use it,
will be very interesting to me.

Letter to
the Editor
Need readers' help:
Dear Editor,
Please help! The Holly Springs Church
of Christ is currently collecting new and used sports equipment for
two orphanages in the Ukraine. Over the last several days, food, clothing
and upgrade to the facilities at these two orphanages have been accomplished
with the help of many individuals, business and churches from across
the Southeast.
Those who direct the two orphanages have
requested that sports entertainment be sent as they have no way to purchase
these type items for the children. We will be sending a rail-car crate
in October to the Ukraine wit medical supplies and sports equipment.
The medical supplies are taken care of thanks to generous donations
from hospitals and churches.
We will fill the remainder of the crate
with sports equipment. If anyone is interested in helping with his effort,
please call Jerry Moore at the Marshall County Superintendent’s
Office or Barry Burleson at the South Reporter. the sports equipment
can be new or used (in good shape though)
Thank you in advance for helping us to
provide for the children in these two orphanages.
Jerry Moore
