Dear Editor,
The article by Mrs. Mary Ann Ellis on April 18, entitled “Trial by Media”, was a great article that should be an eye opener for our community. It should teach us all a lesson about the consequences of jumping to conclusions and forming opinions without knowing all of the facts about a case.

Writer expresses appreciation for kind act of local citizens
Dear Editor,
On April 9, I traveled from Reidsville to Baxley to attend the Executive Board Meeting of Concerted Services. As I crossed Lanes Bridge I was aware that I had struck something on the road with my car and as I traveled a few miles farther into Appling County it became obvious that I had experienced a blown tire.

Please ask before placing signs
Dear Editor,
Why are candidates in the upcoming elections placing signs on private property without asking permission? Please ask before you place any signs on my property.

Just wanted to write you a letter in Heaven - Dixon
Dear (James) Dixon,
So things are going pretty good up here in Michigan. I’m still attending Western Michigan University and working on my Bachelors degree. Shannon got a job with the State, so now “I got me a sugar mama!” I’m sure though, that you already know all this by now. I bet you have settled in nicely up there and have developed a routine. Knowing you, checking in on your family and friends would be incorporated. [Full Story »]

What a tragedy!
Dear Editor,
I was born and raised in Appling County, about seven miles south of town. A year ago I subscribed to The Baxley News-Banner. I have always been proud to call Baxley my second home, and have family and dear friends that live there still. Recently I read the obituary of a young man who had served three tours in Iraq. It said he was a highly decorated Marine. Since that week I have read the full page article plus many letters to the editor about the law enforcement officers of Appling County, as well as the Georgia State Patrol Swat Team, that shot and killed the young. I understand he was holding an unloaded weapon. My husband and I were both appalled at the circumstances surrounding this young man’s murder. According to the articles we read, he was suffering from PTSD from serving the three tours in Iraq. I have no doubt the information is correct. [Full Story »]

Tens of thousands of jobs?
Dear Editor,
On Thursday, March 29, 2012 I took my local newspaper with me to a doctor’s appointment to help me endure the waiting time that all of us are so familiar with. Most of us older people have been to the doctor enough that we know we usually have enough time to read every word of our paper from front to back and still have to look for something else to do as we wait for our turn to see the doctor.

“Semper Fidelis my friend!”
Dear Editor,
I just wanted to say a few things about a person that was very near and dear to my heart - Corporal James Monroe “ Rooster” Dixon III. I had the distinct pleasure in meeting this man in one of the most terrifying experiences a young person would put themselves through - Marine Corps Boot Camp. When we thought we wouldn’t make it through there.... we did. I also was lucky enough to stay with him through SOI (School Of Infantry). Rarely do Marines get to go through their entire enlistment with the same people, but we did. We did two combat deployments. However, he was a bigger man than me and went on to do a third one to show how much he loved his country. There were certain situations where he would act like your brother, or others where he could throw on the “mamma” role too. But the greatest thing about him was that he never was acting. He was my brother, and above all that he was our nation’s HERO. No one will ever forget the sacrifices James gave for God, Marine Corps, and our Country. [Full Story »]
