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, as usual, has no information. Last week’s photo only had “with singers” on the back and several classmates were quick to call and identify the three — Roderick Bell, class of 1985, Kerry Patton, class of ’84 and Lee Eric Smith, class of ’86. The three young men sang at the school, with Mrs. Gordan as their instructor, according to Melissa Hunt, class of ’85. Sandra Faulkner and Mary Scales were also quick to respond and identify the trio. Roderick Bell also sent an email — “I am the first young man in the old photo, as you look left to right. Respectively the others are Kerry Patton and Lee Eric Smith, son of the late Mayor Eddie Smith. We were among choir members from the University of Mississippi Concert Singer and glee clubs that traveled to Atlanta to sing in a performance of Carmina Burana with Atlanta's Ballet and Orchestra. The year was 1988. Thank you for the memory!”
