Help needed to find missing pet "Gracie" Lewis

Our family pet, Gracie, left home on Thursday during the storm. She has been seen on the Parkway heading toward Russell Springs. As of Sunday, she was spotted on Highway 80. Gracie is a collie, with mainly a brown coat. She had on a bandanna, a red radio fence collar, and a purple and yellow leash collar. She is a friendly pet and is probably very scared. If anyone sees her please call 384-8851.

Letter: 2006 Campmeeting at Flatwoods may have been best yet

Ed,

Thank you for the posting The Flatwoods Campmeeting on the Columbia Magazine. I don't know if any came from the advertising or not but we certainly do appreciate it. They had the opportunity. This year was in some ways the best yet. Everyone that came went away renewed with a new joy for God. We look forward to next year which is scheduled for Sept. 28, 29, 30, 2007.

Thanks again,

Mike Bennett
Deacon, Flatwoods Separate Baptist Church
