Brown-eyed, handsome man!

The name is Spike. They tell me I’m a brown-eyed handsome man, so what’s the deal? My three siblings were adopted and here I am, still in the shelter. They take good care of me, but I would like to have my own room, my own humans. I’m a little bigger than the others but should that make me undesirable? I get along well with most everyone, so hoping someone will come along who has a big yard to run in and I can go home with them. I haven’t given up yet. Please call the Marshall County Humane Society at 662-564-2900 or email dogsncats11@gmail.com for more info. See Petfinder.com for a complete list of animals for adoption.

Pictures from the Past

Many of the pictures in the newspaper’s old files have no names or dates. If you know anything about the photo and would like to offer the information to our readers, please call 662-252-4261 or send an email to southreporter@dixie-net.com. In last week’s photo, Ethel Simmons was recognized by many. Kathy Shaw called and said Simmons made her wedding dress in 1973. Madalynne Ash called and said she believed that picture was made in the spring of 1989. She has a copy of the article, but the date has been cut off. Simmons is fondly remembered in Potts Camp.
