Arrest net widens in kidnapping By SUE WATSON One of two other suspects wanted in connection with the April 11 assault and kidnapping of Charles Hardeman was arrested in Tennessee Monday, according to sheriff Kenny Dickerson. The second suspect is still on the run. Arrest warrants for Alexander Carter, 24, and Xavier Cornelius Parks, 31, of the 700 block of West College Street, Saulsbury, Tenn., were issued by Marshall County Justice Court this week, the sheriff said. Carter was picked up and taken into custody by Hardeman County, Tenn., authorities Monday around 7 p.m. He could be extradited back to Marshall County as early as Tuesday evening this week, the sheriff said. Carter and Parks are half brothers. Parks remained at large at presstime. One dies in fire By SUE WATSON Authorities are still awaiting positive identification of the victim of a house fire Monday night. Marshall County Sheriff Kenny Dickerson said the victim is thought to be the brother of Lamonica Campbell. She lived with him in the mobile home, located at 45 Kent Road, that was burned out cold when investigators were called to the scene. Supervisors back zoning By SUE WATSON
Rufus Pennington of 1041 Highway 309 North is a man with many ideas but no place to put them to work. The Marshall County Zoning Board turned down his request to operate a concrete mix plant on his 15 acres located in a residential zone. He also asked for a permit to operate a saw mill, but zoning turned that down, as well. The board said he needs to locate property in a commercial zone if he wants a concrete mix plant and saw mill. City hears student survey results By SUE WATSON
The Holly Springs Intermediate School gifted students in fifth and sixth grades have prepared another market study for the city. The study was presented to the Holly Springs mayor and board of aldermen at the May 15 meeting. Survey results indicated that students believe there is not enough for young people to do in the city or county. Activities students considered worthy of support included a movie theater, a public gym and an arcade/golf facility. Parcels in danger of being sold By SUE WATSON The number of parcels of real property in jeopardy from the 2009 tax sale remains high, according to chancery clerk Chuck Thomas, who recently reported to the board of supervisors. He said there were about 891 parcels that had not been redeemed by owners, with that number down to 837 unredeemed parcels after certified letters were sent out reminding owners they are in danger of losing their property. Yellow fever mania By SUE WATSON Assistant librarian Robert Patterson has locked onto a project that he can’t seem to let go of. He is trying to find the grave of every 1878 Yellow Fever Epidemic victim in Holly Springs. So far, his search on his lunch hour and after work and weekends has led him not only to photograph about 60 of the 105 or so marked graves at Hill Crest Cemetery, but he has also expanded the Yellow Fever Epidemic exhibit at the Marshall County Historical Museum. The county library now has several books about the epidemic in Mississippi.
