Dear Editor,

So many times I have seen children at the bus stop alone, waiting for the bus. Where are the parents or guardians? Why not watch while they wait? It’s dangerous. Have we thought about what could happen to the children when they are left alone? Just think about it, so many children are being kidnapped and molested these days. People are only concerned about their own satisfaction. No remorse for others, especially the children. Let’s all be more watchful, it doesn’t hurt to show more love and concern for one another. The children are our future generation. [Full Story »] 

Dear Editor,

Hi, I am David Herrington and I want to tell you how the Lord has been so good to me. I used to be a real alcoholic with a dead end job and I’d live for the Lord many times. I knew I went back on him many times, but He never gave up on me though. But I knew eventually he would just give up on me, because I know He was getting tired of me going back and forth, so I lost my job before Christmas and I was still partying, but I knew that this was not the life for me. So I gave my life back to God, because, just before He gave me a great job. I had hit rock bottom, but the Lord was there to pick me up.

Dear Editor,

The year 2018 will mark the 200th anniversary of the creation of Appling County on December 15, 1818 and its settlement beginning in 1819 and 1820. Even before the 1820 Land Lottery, many settlers arrived in a vast wilderness of Pine Barrens covering about 4,664 square miles. We must start planning now for a bicentennial celebration from 2018 through 2020 and should invite counties that the state legislature carved in whole or in part from Appling County. [Full Story »]
