Steel jail modules put in place

Construction workers began installing solid steel jail cell units for the new Marshall County Justice Complex last week, a month later than anticipated. The yellow steel modules were delivered to Holly Springs early last week. The modules were originally scheduled to arrive last month, but damage from Hurricane Georges, which hit the Gulf Coast early last fall, put them behind. The steel modules are more durable and harder for inmates to tear up than cement blocks. They are better for the type of inmates expected to be housed here.

Close to Nowhere (by Linda Jones)

Even though the next presidential election won’t be held until Nov., 2000, candidates are already crawling out of the woodwork (Y2K bug problem?). And a candidate has appeared on the horizon who may make the upcoming campaign bearable. Elizabeth Dole has resigned as head of the Red Cross, to “investigate the possibility.” I think if she can run the Red Cross and deal with hurricanes and other assorted natural disasters, the United States Congress and Senate ought to be a cinch!

Gas line break brings bill chill to Holly Springs

Just before midnight last Wednesday, with ice on the ground and temperatures in the low teens, a sixinch natural gas line broke from the heaving of the frozen earth. Within an hour, most gas service was turned off and Holly Springs was plunged into the reality of everyday life without the convenience of gas for heating or cooking. The break was located near the Ford company on Hwy. 78 East and the utility department engineer, Walter Paschal, determined that the gas was escaping at a very high rate, throwing out sand and gravel and presenting the possibility of an explosion with one spark. Paschal then made the decision to shut down the city gas system. Most service was restored within 38 hours.
