Letters To The Editor called the men in and got their measurements and went to Meridian where he checked with the police department to see what he could do. So, through Meridian's city purchasing power, he was able to buy these uniforms at a reasonable price. I want to tell you these men always remembered and never forgot the deed the merchants of Quitman did for them. CE. Sellers President Sellers Inc.

effort in any way. Sincerely, Depot Restoration Committee Historic Clarke County, Inc. 4 filled the parking lot, tent and display room of the depot on Friday afternoon. Saturday's business was steady until the noon closing hour. The event was sponsored by Historic Clarke County, in a continuing effort to complete matching funds for a grant from the Department of Transportation.

The generous sharing of discarded items by Clarke County residents as well as the long hours and hard work by many volunteers has again paid off in our effort to restore a really important landmark in Clarke County. Our grateful appreciation expressed to all who donated items to be sold, those who volunteered their time in helping prepare for the sale as well as those who assisted during the sale. Special thanks to the Quitman Noon Lions Club who assisted with the sale of frozen casseroles and main dish meals. Finally, without buyers, there could not be a flea market Members of the Depot Restoration Committee sincerely thank everyone who participated and supported the Dear Editor, I would like to inform the people of Clarice County about an incident that happened Friday the 19th of September. I called the Chief of Police Daryl Dedwylder of Stonewall about a person having their driver's license suspended, no insurance and a warrant on them.

Officer Dedwylder was also informed about this person by another individual. Officer Dedwylder said he had to have probable cause to stop this individual like a traffic violation or a road block. I understand you have certain rules and regulations to go by, but sometimes those rules and regulations can do more harm than good. I feel that by two citizens informing the officer and giving him the tag number, description of the vehicle and their sodial security number, we feel something should have been done about this matter. I ask Officer Dedwylder, what if this person runs into someone with no license and no insurance? What would happen? He said we would have them.

Why should a statement like that be made by an officer of the law who is paid to protect and serve the people of Stonewall. I don't think that insurance companies would agree with this. Officer Dedwylder, if people are breaking the law and you know about it, do you still let them do it? If that is the case, why do we have any law. The people who oreax ine xaw nas more rights than the innocent. Officer Fire Continued from page 1A Eucutta, and Wayne Central.

The Market Basket building started out as a theater built by Kemey Pace back in the mid 1930's. Mr. Pace sold out to his I competition, Samuel Aubrey Jones who had a theater across the street It was called the JOY theater under the management of Aubrey Jones. In the 1940's, the building was sold to Oberah Griffin Maxwell who ran the theater until she closed it The building was later bought by Tollie Pettis around 1967 and ran the Pettis Mercantile Company until 1987. 1 The building was being used for storage by the Pettis family when the building was niirchased in 1987 hv I.arrv Skidmore who opened the store wider his family business name, i Market Basket, with his son, 5 James.

I James operated the store for I about four years until his brother, Matthew, came into the 1 business. I James went on to open i another Market Basket in Dedwylder, if you were in our shoes, would you like someone to run into your vehicle or one of your family member's vehicles without insurance, no license and a warrant on them and the. law knows about it and still say they had to have a probable cause, to stop this person. But, it would have been to late. It bums me up when the laws tells me or people that their hands are tied until someone breaks the law.

Then you inform them of things like this and still do nothing. Usually it takes someone to get hurt or killed, but it is too late, the damage is done. Officer Dedwylder made a statement that I need to attend law school Anybody in any state or town knows if they are driving with no license and a warrant on them they are breaking the law. So, who needs to go to law school for that. I think Officer Dedwylder needs to go to a different school than where he learned about the law.

I think the Mayor of Stonewall should check into this matter and how Officer Dedwylder conducts his business. Sincerely, Eddie Crosby Depot flea market was a success Again Quitman and Clarke County residents joined together to make the Depot Days Flea Market a success. Large crowds of bargain seekers Pachuta in August 1991. The Market Basket was a grocery store where you could get meats sliced and packaged to the quality you wanted. The Market Basket was one of two grocery stores operating in Shubuta.

Matthew has stated that he will re open his business back up as soon as possible in the same area. The Hutto Furniture Store goes far back as to the 1940's when V. L. (Boo) Hutto with his father in law, Mr. A.

B. Miles, opened up a furniture store. They formed a partnership. Mr. Miles retired a few years after the business opened around 1945.

Mr. Hutto ran the business for 49 years until he retired. He retired a few months shy of 50 years in business. The building that burned was built on a vacant lot that many kids had used as a basketball court in the 1950's. The furniture store was not operating as a business when it burned Thursday.

Hutto's Furniture is still operating in Waynesboro with Boo's son, Bubba Hutto. i 1 It's time for FALL FESTIVALS and that meant piclurtt are being (, made to remember them by.

It seemed to be a shame for our city not to furnish uniforms Or at least buy them so the men could purchase a couple of uniforms each. EDD Kramer was mayor at this time in 1953. We as merchants got together to make up funds to see about buying these uniforms. We were going about it as if the town was not financially able to buy them. But, when Mr.
