Handsome and smart!

Zeke is a rare red border collie and a handsome guy! He is a smart one so he could probably be taught some tricks quite easily. He gets along well with other dogs and would be a great family pet. Call the Marshall County Humane Society at 662-564-2900 for appointment to see him. See Petfinder.com for a complete list of our animals for adoption.

Air Force honors Gen. Robert Bond in Ashland

The United States Air Force demonstrated its respect and gratitude for the service of Lt. General Robert M. Bond Tuesday in Benton County when it buried the three-star general with full military honors. He was laid to rest in Ashland Cemetery with an honorary “missing man formation” flyover in the deep blue skies. Full military honors were rendered in the impressive ceremony. It has been categorically denied by Air Force officials that the test plane Gen. Bond was flying was a Stealth bomber or a Russian MIG. Officials would only say that it was a “modified” aircraft. He was promoted to Lt. Gen. on June 1, 1981 and was vice commander of Air Force Systems Command at Andrews Air Force Base.
