Big guy!

I’m the big guy in the picture. They say I’m a little macho looking, and I am part Rottweiler, but I think my other side is kinda gentle. I love to play with the other dogs and rough-house with them, but I’m also good with kids and stuff. I don’t usually give anyone much trouble and I’m almost a year old now, so losing a little of my wildness. Come on out and meet me at the Humane Society and you can see if I could be a fit at your house. Call 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 nothing written on the back. Last week’s photo was identified by quite a few: Dr. David Beckley sent a fax “Nov. 1977 David L. Beckley accepting a scholarship check from Jim White, plant manager at Jel-Wenco. Looking on is Barbara Jeffries Campbell, scholarship recipient (Rust Class of 1980) and director of student financial aid James McMillan. Barbara Campbell also called; along with Connie Mason.
