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 no information with it. Obviously, it’s election time. Last week’s photo: “Stolen property recovered.” We received many responses to last week’s photo. Edna Boyd called with the names, as did Russell Johnson. Johnson, a member of the Holly Springs Board of Aldermen, also gave us a scoop -- William Hollowell, then a lieutenant on the city police force, is now the new chief of police in Holly Springs! (Story on front page.) Hollowell, who dropped by the newspaper office, looked at the photo and fondly remembered those days and then police chief Freddie Autry. “That man was a big influence in my life. He helped me in many ways. He was a good man!” Lisa Shaw sent an email about the photo: “Big smile across my face when I saw this photo and recognized my sweet father-in-law, John W. Shaw Sr.! Miss him so much! Freddie Autry, John Shaw Sr., not sure who the other officer is (William Hollowell) and Junior Cummings. Heard so many stories from my boss Tony Farese, about his Uncle Freddie and John over the years. It was great to see this photo of the two of them! Thanks friends at The South Reporter for putting this in! Lisa.”

Communist Party supports J.F.K.

There has been much publicity concerning the recent trouble at Ole Miss, perhaps too much. However, the most significant news item has been little publicized. An Associated Press news dispatch brought out that the Communist Party of America gave its full support to President Kennedy in his intervention of Ole Miss affairs. It is very significant that not much publicity has been given to this news item.
