Cute little “low-rider”

You have to see her to appreciate just how cute she is! Cookie is a “low-rider.” Her legs just haven’t grown with the rest of her, so she is very short, but so sweet! To adopt her or any other pet from the Marshall County Humane Society, please call 901-212-6066 or 564-2900.

Disaster not in immediate future

“No, California will not sluff off into the Pacific Ocean on March 10, but if it does, it will be caused by some other force than the alignment of the planets in our solar system,” said Dr. William Hughes, chairman of physics and astronony at the University of Southern California. A “doomsday” prediction was made some eight years ago in “The Jupiter Effect” a book by British authors John Gribbin and Stephen Plagemann. The book said that because of an alignment in the planets in our solar system occurring in March of 1982, the resulting gravitational stress would case major earthquakes here on earth.

Death, illness and other circumstances beyond control make it impossible. “We would like to emphasize that our garden center, Grey Gables, is always open to visitors,” said Mrs. Len Marbury, chairman of the Pilgrimage committee.
