Birthdays

The Preacher’s Corner

Sunday School is a ‘tender treasure’ of our little city

Last Lord’s Day our Sunday school got under way for the fall term. In “olden times” (when I was a child) it was called Rally Day, and all the classes got new teachers and met in different rooms.

Letter to the Editor

Thanks to fire departments:
Dear Editor,

On Friday, Aug. 24, there was a huge fire on Puppy Hill Road in Waterford. My son’s property was involved in this fire and his home was saved and many others on this road were saved due to the response and the work of all the fire departments that came to the rescue. Thanks to Waterford, Holly Springs, Cayce, Watson, Victoria, Red Banks, DeSoto County and Lafayette County Fire Departments and any others that I may have missed.

Also, thanks to the emergency services who were there to attend to those firemen who were overcome by the excessive heat. Some of our tax dollars pay for these services that we take for granted, but after seeing these men and women in action these fire departments deserve those tax dollars that they received, plus some.
