  • Taylor on the ‘Southern Democrat’

    To the Editor,
        After I announced my fundraiser at Shooters’ Depot, a local political analyst suggested I was bringing back the Southern Democrat as a political force in this District. This particular analyst may be given to a little hyperbole, but the Southern Democrat is really what is needed in the Congress today.

  • Cook reaches out to pastors to support prayer meetings

    To the Editor,
        We have for the past four months been having community prayer sessions in Morgan County. We hold one prayer session on the first Tuesday of each month in Wartburg, and one on the third Tuesday of each month in a different community in our county.
        I have been trying to reach pastors in the county to join in this program, and to host a third Thursday prayer session.
        Phone numbers for churches are not hard to find, but no one is at most churches during the week.

  • Lane, SUD board member, gives reasons for Cumberland vote

    To the Editor:
        Due to the numerous phone calls and inquiries about the proposed merger between the Sunbright Utility and the Plateau Utility District, I am taking this opportunity to explain my position. I am currently a member of the Board of the Sunbright Utility District. The Board recently voted to merge with the Plateau Utility District. A move which I oppose and thus I voted against the resolution.
