The Building Fund Begins
Members of the First United Methodist Church of Sulphur Springs presented a check to Senior Citizens Center Director Karon Weatherman. Members of FUMC gave what they could during a 5 month campaign in 2016. The funds were kept separate from other church offerings. “This was over and above our regular giving to the church,” said Campbell. The congregation voted to divide the donations 3 ways, and give to 3 separate needs...

Melanie Marie Martin Harrison
On Wednesday, January 25, Melanie Marie Martin Harrison ascended the Stairway to Heaven to join the good Lord, all while her favorite tunes from the Rolling Stones and Aerosmith played on Heaven’s juke box. She was probably decked out in a fabulous outfit, wearing her signature red lipstick, and had a nice gift ready to give to God (because we all know how much she loved to give gifts). Thank you to everybody that truly loved...

Currently, the bore is being made for sewer lines under the railroad tracks. Once installed work will begin on the other side of the rail lines. Work on Locust Street should take another month to...
String of Pearls; PG yes, but don’t let that stop you.
Main Street Theater’s upcoming production of String of Pearls is good. I’ll spare you the flowery phrases and cut to the point. I caught a dress rehearsal Tuesday night. It kept my attention the entire time. I recommend it. But, it is not for kids. There are some words and some sexual imagery, but nothing gratuitous. These actresses have clearly put in their time, and their work deserves to be seen. Performances began...
