THIS DAY IN HISTORY:
1867 - An early day game in the Reilly Springs Community was spinning a wagon wheel in a raffle. Folks bought chances on the spokes of the wheel that might include prizes of a colt, a gun, a fat calf, or 100 pounds of flour. Someone would spin the wheel and a marksman would shoot toward the wheel. Wherever the shot landed, the prize was won.
1951 - "Sugar" was the top cow on the Dairy Herd Improvement Association list for the month. She was member of the T.O. Kight herd in the Como Community. "Bonnie," owned by R.O. Koon was the second high cow and "Silver" owned by the Anderson farm was in the third position. All were Jersey cows.
1970 - Gober-Merrell Chevrolet was promoting the new model 1971 Cheyenne Trucks, a popular model in Hopkins County, as a classy truck. The trucks could be purchased for $4800.00, with extras.
1986 - A cold front moved into Hopkins County droping over 2 inches of freezing rain, mixed with sleet, on farms and homes. Mud was already a problem on local dairy farms, as farmers were having problems getting their cattle to and from the barn, early in the winter season.
1998 - The "Burns Arena" near Miller Grove had been the site of a successful Trades Day. Area residents brought their goods to the lighted and covered arena and patrons shopped from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. And, the Lady Trojans Volleyball Team faced Yantis in the play-offs, but fell to the Lady Owls.
Quote of the day:
"Every man has his own destiny; the only imperative is to follow it, to accept it, no mater where it leads him!"
