REMEMBER-----*
---Which Army was the first to have a woman General ? (see answer below)
---Did you know that Big Rain Drops mean a short rain. For every foggy day in
February-- it will rain on the same day in June. If there are thunder storms in
February--- it will freeze in April?
---In early Center, the Church Bells rang when there was a death in their membership?
You called the Telephone Office to ask for the time, where is the fire.
Sirens atop of the water tank on the square sounded a fire with three big
blasts? The sawmills or planers blew whistle at exactly 6AM, 12Noon and 5PM?
---In 1930, there was a whiskey raid by Sheriff Jim O'Bannion near Tucker's Lake and Pond.
The raid netted 9 bottles of beer, (for medical purposes). In the lake they
found 40 bottles of beer, in a cypress tree was 11 pints of whiskey.
