Close to Nowhere

Bits, pieces and dollops

• Voting Tuesday morning was a bit different than usual. I had to stand in line, even at 7 a.m. Turned out, the poll workers were given the wrong key and couldn’t get in the community center until the correct key was brought.

Letters to The Editor

Praise Night
Dear Editor,

What a wonderful name it is, Praise Night. My wife and I looked forward to the fellowship and praising the Lord on those Tuesday nights in October on the courthouse lawn.

Blacks and whites came together to praise God and uplift the precious name of Jesus.

What a great thing Kevin Thomas did by putting this event together for Holly Springs and Marshall County – all the work he did, getting the singers and musicians together, they truly made it Praise Night.

This is a positive thing for Holly Springs. I hope it will continue.

Everyone who came, I’m sure, enjoyed it. Those who didn’t attend truly missed a blessing. God bless you, Kevin.

Sincerely,
Billy Cooke
Holly Springs
