“The chosen one!”

Vickie is a terrier mix and only weighs 21 pounds, but is quite a little actress. She really tries to convince everyone that comes to our shelter that she is the ‘chosen one.’ She can jump three-four feet from standing position, so would probably be a good frisbee dog, or agility dog. If you are interested in a sweet little dog that is also lively, Vickie may be the one for you! She is just under 1 year old and current on all shots and spayed. 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.

Congressman recalls tragic events of 9-11

One of Mississippi’s own recalls his firsthand encounter with the tragic events of Sept. 11, 2001. Congressman Roger Wicker was at a breakfast hosted by the Secretary of Defense in the Pentagon between 8-9 a.m. that morning. As he was leaving the building, he was unaware of the attacks on the World Trade Center. He learned of the attacks from the guards as he was leaving the Pentagon. Wicker returned to his condo in Virginia and said he could smell the smoke from the attack on the Pentagon and see the debris floating in the air. After Congress was briefed on the attack, the crowd broke out into “God Bless America.” “That was a truly moving event!” Wicker said.
