The Searcy County Historical Society will meet Friday, July 26, at 7:00 pm, in Marshall’s First Christian Church. James Johnston will give a survey of Orville McInturff and his writings. Orville McInturff had an interesting variety of interests: as a builder, a politician and as Searcy County’s first historian. He is known for his books: “Searcy County, My Dear: A History of Searcy County, Arkansas” and “A History of Searcy County Schools, and their relation to the economic development of the county.” But he also wrote the results of his other research, which was never published. Johnston will read some of his other writings, as well as tell some of his reminiscences of Orville. Others will be invited to tell their memories of Orville.
Today is Wednesday. It is sunshining here. I went to the Mountain Wave office and visited with Charity Rolen while there. I left and came home. Charice Passmore and his wife came to visit Fanny Smith.
July 17th Well, hope you are all well, and not washed away! We are all good here, but some places sure got a lot of rain. I think we had 3 ½ inches. A real good rain, even though it was heavy at times. It did wash our road some. Cooler temperatures for sure too. That sure is nice, and sounds like it will be in the 80’s for several days.
Good morning friends I hope the news finds you well. The basket Bingo for this month is Friday, July 19th 5-7 p.m. at the senior center. 10$ for all games, additional cards 5$ each. Concessions will be available.
Really been enjoying the cool weather even though we didn’t get much accomplished outside in the yard. Hate to hear the passing of Carol Jean Hensley Jackson.
