Citizens speak out on utility rates By SUE WATSON
Two Holly Springs citizens brought concerns and questions before the mayor and board of aldermen recently concerning utility rates. First on the agenda was Ivory Seal Faulkner of the Hernando Road area. Wonderful
weekend for 175th By SUE
WATSON
Holly Springs showcased its festive side last weekend. The community turnout and participation for the 175th anniversary of the city and celebration of Christmas and the annual Tour of Homes were a resounding success, organizers said. The event opened Friday night with Mayor Andre’ DeBerry providing a history of the town and welcome on the courthouse lawn. Beside him was U.S. Senator Roger Wicker, whose ancestors are from Marshall County as are DeBerry’s. Burglary suspects arrested By SUE WATSON Two suspects have been arrested and charged with burglary of residences in the Humphreys Road and Laws Hill communities, according to sheriff Kenny Dickerson. One suspect has been arrested and charged with grand larceny in a separate incident.
Christmas Cheer group readies for Santa’s list By SUE WATSON On December 15, toys and clothes will be distributed to the needy and December 22 is the date for distribution of food (care boxes) to seniors and the disabled, according to supervisor George Zinn III, one of the originators of the Christmas Cheer Committee in Marshall County. This is about the sixth year the not-for-profit North Mississippi Community Research Training and Development Organization has distributed goods to the needy during the Christmas season. Kinkade jubilant at election win By SUE WATSON Bill Kinkade and Virginia Armour took home the bacon in last week’s runoff election with about 10 percent of eligible voters participating. Kinkade, who will serve the remaining three years of former Rep. Tommy Woods’ term, said campaigning is not nearly as much fun as it looks like. Holly Springs police go to 106 calls The Holly Springs Police Department responded to 106 calls this past week and made nine felony arrests, according to Chief William Hollowell. The calls included – disturbances, 6; alarms, 17; larcenies, 2; assaults, 1; accidents, 7; assists to other agencies, 7; domestics, 3; funeral escorts, 4; burglaries, 1; welfare check, 2; auto burglary, 1; arson, 1; and miscellaneous, 54. County businesses feel tax crunch By SUE WATSON Two businesses have come before the board of supervisors in recent weeks asking for tax relief. A problem has been that they did not come before the board in August to appeal their 2012 property taxes. Blake Soule, who has a furniture refinishing business on Quality Drive in Chickasaw Trail Industrial Park, said he built a structure expecting to rent space in it as well as run his own business. He has been left with renters owing him substantial sums of money and his note at the bank is too high. He got caught in the squeeze, he said, because he may have built too soon and got caught in the downturn of the economy. |
