Adopt an older dog!

Sometimes we have an older dog that maybe isn't the one people are anxious to adopt, but they are gentle, beyond the chewing stage and get along with people and other dogs better than a younger dog. Tippy was at our shelter a couple of years ago, got adopted, but then there was a health problem for the owner and they had to return her. All she needs is to be fed and given heartworm and flea preventives, and needs lots of love. She will be your loyal companion! For an appointment, 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 share the information with our readers, please call 662-252-4261 or send an email to southreporter@dixie-net.com. This week’s photo has “Stolen property recovered.” (Aren’t the old typewriters cool?) Last week’s photo received several comments. Renea emailed about the photo – her late brother, Mike Childress, was on the team. Kelly Prather emailed “This picture was taken in the summer of 1977. This was a team of 15-year-old all-stars from Marshall and DeSoto counties. The NMBA stands for North Miss Baseball Association. This team won the North State Championship. Team members are, front row, from left, Johnny Hughes, Marty Sneed, unknown, Kelly Prather, unknown, Joe Carson, Ricky Rollins; back row, Coach Danny Treadway, Coach Carson, Blair Snead, Tracy Jobe, Tracy Moore, Mike Childress, James Pepper, Jamie Dunlap, Sam Allison, Billy Hunsucker and Coach James Dunlap.” (Prather, of Germantown, Tenn., also said he reads The South Reporter every week and appreciates all the paper does – thanks Kelly!)

Mississippi in crisis

All of this is happening because Federal authority insisted on pressing for the registration of one individual at Ole Miss, James Meredith.
