September 22 Edition

"3 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; 4 And patience, experience; and experience, hope: 5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us." --- Romans 5:3-5

The Mt. Elba Access on this side of the river is now officially the Lloyd Wilton "Buddy" Reaves Mt. Elba Access after a dedication ceremony last Friday attended by many family and friends of the late Buddy Reaves.

For those of you wondering what happened to the lights Sunday night: a Benton resident driving through town lost control and smacked one of the light poles in front of the old Ray Estes store and damaging another thus plunging the town into darkness for several hours. The driver fled on foot but was picked up by the Sheriff's department near Marks' Mills Park. I guess he was still trying to get back to Benton. I saw the car, and personally I'm amazed he was still alive let alone able to hoof it down the road.
