Public looks in wrong places to quell gun violence

To the person(s) who felt emboldened to walk right up to the back of my building in the alley on the north side of the Square and take a 7-8 foot umbrella tree (giant schefflera):

With our local primary election coming up soon, I just want to take a minute to discuss my concern with our "Interim" County Judge/Executive Jamie Spears, his appointment as judge and his candidacy in the Republican primary election.

I never cease to be amazed at how some person or group proposes to build a facility and then at the same time say, in essence, "We'll ask everyone else to pay for it." That is the bottom line in the proposed "Aquatic Center" described in last week's Franklin Favorite.

I would like to say a huge 'Thank you' to the citizens, churches and organizations of Franklin and Simpson County for supporting Room in the Inn this year. Because of your compassion and giving spirit, we were able to provide radical hospitality to our guests from January through mid-March. …

The first time I met Henry Stone, I was a freshman in high school. Principal Ronnie Clark had selected some of us to go down to the radio station to shill for the latest school fundraising project. Henry Stone met us in the tiny reception area of the Favorite office.
