| Crime spree involves two counties By SUE WATSON A Tate County man landed in the hospital last week after going off on what appears to be a rampage. It ended with the suspect being shot by a Tate County deputy following a chase into Marshall County. Kenny Dickerson, sheriff in Marshall County, said Mario Taylor of the Tyro community was shot one or more times after the suspect rammed the deputy’s patrol vehicle several times and aimed a shotgun at the Tate County officer. Both the suspect and the deputy were airlifted to the Memphis Med, he said, and both were in stable condition as of Monday. Clydesdale draws big crowd
By SUE WATSON The Clydesdale Christmas Store, Byhalia Lions Club, Watson and Byhalia fire departments, and the Byhalia Area Chamber of Commerce benefitted greatly from the success of the fourth annual Clydesdale/Lions Club Festival in Byhalia. Ronnie Luther, organizer with the Clydesdale Store, said attendance this year on Saturday evening was close to 6,000, the largest crowd ever since the inception of the festival. Death probe continues By SUE WATSON Phillip Lynn Watts, 55, of 86 Pontotoc Street in Potts Camp, was found dead in his driveway Saturday around 10 a.m. by a group in the ministry, said sheriff Kenny Dickerson. The group saw the body about halfway between Pontotoc Street and Watts’ residence and called law enforcement, he said. It appeared Watts had been beaten at his carport and crawled from his carport toward the street - a distance of about 75 feet - perhaps in an attempt to get help, and died there, the sheriff said. Watts had lost a leg in an automobile accident and got around in a wheelchair, he said. Langley aligns sustainable living with career By SUE WATSON It was about two years ago that Suzanne Langley moved to Holly Springs from Little Rock, Ark., to work as director for development for Audubon Mississippi. Since leaving Audubon to start her own consulting and marketing business (Seine Communications, Inc.), Langley remains an integral part of Audubon’s Coldwater River Watershed Stewardship Cooperative - a project that supports sustainable land, water and wildlife management practices in the Hudsonville area. Settling on 40 acres near the headwaters of the Coldwater River, Langley launched a private consulting and marketing business, and she’s putting her money where her mouth is by developing her 40-acre homestead in Hudsonville using sustainable living practices. City honors outgoing aldermen By SUE WATSON The city of Holly Springs passed out praises last week to outgoing aldermen Tim Liddy, with four and a half years service, and Nancy Hutchens, who completed 24 years on the board. Inside the conference room on the second floor of City Hall were snacks and punch, shared by city employees and the aldermen and mayor. Outgoing alderman Naylond Hayes was not in attendance.
