Fielder’s Choice
By Barry Burleson Heed my own advice I guess you can say I’ve become somewhat addicted to my cell phone. I’m
not on it around the clock – like some I know – either talking or
texting or e-mailing or whatever else the ever-changing technology
provides. Full Story

The Preacher’s Corner
By Rev. Dr. Milton Winter News not only travels fast, it travels far News
can travel fast. I learned that when I asked out my first college date.

Letter To The Editor Good memories:
Dear Editor, Thank you for sending my missed paper. Have been getting it for years and read it all. I
am 90 years old. I moved to Holly Springs in 1944 and liked it a lot.
Lived there almost five years. I have tried to get Lois Swaney to write
about the police when I moved there. They did not ride around in a
police car. They walked the “square.” They did not wear guns. they
carried a long flashlight and a “billie” stick. They did that for years
and never had any trouble. On Saturday, the sidewalk was full of
people. There was a movie theater there, too. On election night, they
closed the east side of the square and people took lawn chairs to sit
and watch the scoreboard and people dance. It was
really a good time to live there. Neighbors visited. We never locked
the doors. We might hook the screen door. Thanks again for the missed
paper. Sincerely,
Burnett Liles
Collierville, Tenn.
