Michelle Easterling and Jim Helveston: Support Marshall
It has been our honor and privilege to practice law with Bob Marshall, a candidate for Circuit Judge, Place Three, for a total of 37 years. We are proud to call him our business partner, but even more, our friend.
Barthel D. Waggoner: Cowbells
Recently I read about Coach Dan Mullen of Mississippi State University telling the student body to respect the ruling on ringing cowbells at football games.
Vicki Hill: Supports Coleman
Lee Coleman and his wife, Peggy, are personal friends of mine. We share West Point as our hometown.
John Gaskin: Supports Marshall for judge
For those not aware, a new circuit judgeship has been created–Place Three–that serves Oktibbeha, Clay, Lowndes and Noxubee Counties. The candidates for this position must reside in Clay or Noxubee counties but will serve all four counties.
Roy Edward Grubb: Childers vs. Nunnelee
I want to thank Travis Childers for the letter I received Monday, Oct. 25, in the mail. If the people think Nunnelee is going to win the election, better think differently.
James Clayton Terry: To the mayor of Crawford
Dear Mayor Tolon:
I bear witness to all the troubles that your city has undergone for longer than I can remember.
Gary A. Chism: ‘Fire Nancy Pelosi!’
Since 2007, when Nancy Pelosi was elected Speaker of The US House of Representatives, our national debt has risen $5 trillion. Let’s get a perspective of how much money a trillion dollars represents.
Bill Wells: Stinky land deal
I have no idea what the “going rate” for prime farmland is in this area, but research on the ‘net shows me that prime farmland in Illinois is averaging $5,000 per acre.
Cameron Triplett: Political endorsements
It’s a shame and a sad commentary on people and today’s politics when “loyal subscribers” and “close friends” get so bent out of shape over a newspaper’s endorsement of ANY candidate that they cancel a subscription or refuse to look the publisher in the face.
Doug Warren: Lights needed
There is a great need for overhead lighting on the 82 Bypass east of Military Road exit to Highway 50 exit.
Mrs. Theo J. Gordon: Thanks for support
Covenant Presbyterian Church wishes to acknowledge the open-hearted giving of the people of Columbus at our annual yard sale on Oct. 16 that was for the benefit of a small boy named Ben and his family who live near Mobile.
Christine White: Supports Coleman
I’ve been a citizen of Clay County my entire life, and despite a strong interest in local politics, I have never taken pen in hand to write on behalf of a candidate for a particular race because I feel there has never been so qualified and deserving a candidate as Lee Coleman for Place 3 of the 16th Circuit Court.
Nina Peele: Supports Starks
The residents of Oktibbeha, Lowndes, Clay and Noxubee have the opportunity to elect a new judge in the Place 1 race. I strongly urge you to vote for William Starks.
Dianne Bean: Supports library director
As a career librarian I can appreciate Alice Shand’s management of the Columbus public library.

We, the Board of Trustees of the Columbus-Lowndes Public Library, welcome input from all our patrons.
Benny Cooper: Joe Higgins’ salary
After reading about Joe Higgins’ $220,000 salary, I began wondering what fool or fools decided to pay this outrageous bloated salary to anyone in a public position, especially in today’s economy.
George Gerhart: A Caledonia thank you
On behalf of the Town of Caledonia, I would like to say “Thank You” to our Caledonia Day Committee members, the community center hostesses and all of the vendors (food and others).
Rockey Allen: County crews
This week I traveled over 300 miles of road in Lowndes County and observed the county road crews cutting as much grass on private property as on county right of way.
J.B. Berry: Fabulous weekend
My wife and I and another couple have just returned from three days in your wonderful town.
