Dear Editor,

Let me tell you about a lady friend that I know. I met Mrs. Jean Cooper some 40-50 years ago and have been fascinated by the lady ever since. People in this county and many other counties around here have met Ms. Jean. At present, she is homebound after breaking her hip for the second time. Mrs. Jean knows no strangers. We travel all over Georgia due to our ties with Georgia Farm Bureau, and everywhere she will stop and ask people where their from, and sure enough she will know someone from that same area.

(Editor’s note: The following is the eulogy given at the funeral service of Dr. James A Bedingfield by Cathy Cain Atkins. Dr. Bedingfield is considered a legend in Appling for his care of many.)

Born in 1921, James A. Bedingfield was raised in Cadwell, GA. He received his undergraduate degree from the University of Georgia and went on to earn his Doctorate of Medicine from the Medical College of Georgia. He served in the Army as a doctor for two years before coming to Appling County to open his practice in 1948. He was the father of five children: Kay, Andy, Amy, Barbara and Drew. He also had eleven grandchildren. He was very proud of all of them and kept numerous pictures of them on and above the cluttered desk in his office. [Full Story »]

Dear Editor,

On Wednesday night, April 20 a car hit my Weimaraner, “Maggie.” The accident caused extensive damage to her leg, leaving the bone exposed, meat and hide gone, and her artery severed and she was bleeding profusely. My regular vet was several counties away and was going to meet me, but I knew she would not make it that long. I called Doctor Hall, whom I have never used, and he told me to meet him at his office. He met me at the car. That moment would be another story within itself, but that was the moment I bonded with Dr. Hall. [Full Story »]

Dear Editor,

Every morning we wake up to something new or strange that has happened all around us. From day to day so many things take place. We begin to wonder why, when and how could this happen to me? We get so busy doing our own thing, our way. So many things will happen to us, when we only think of me, my and I, and forget who holds the key to our every day life. [Full Story »]

Dear Editor,

This letter concerns the operations and management of the Appling County Road Department. During June and July I spoke with Manager Tommy Davis and County Manager Lee Lewis about the right of way fronting my property on County Farm Road. I conferred with them twice about the condition of the shoulder of the road. The right of way in front of my property has not been mowed in months. Because of the steep shoulder parts of it cannot be mowed period. [Full Story »]
