Most people spend their Saturdays watching athletes run around chasing a pig skin.
This past Saturday in Franklin County, plenty of residents braved the cold, wind and rain to watch cows do their business in a parking lot, instead.
The winners are Franklin County residents in need, as the United Way’s annual Cow Chip Bingo raised $5,384.

ENGAGEMENT. Craig and Deborah Carlson of Franklinton announce the engagement of their daughter, Ashley Carlson to Travis Day of Louisburg. The groom-elect is the son of Ellis and Melissa Day of Louisburg.
The United Way of Franklin County Fall Food Drive starts this week and continues through Nov. 15.

The benefit concert at Louisburg College turned out to be a jammin’ good time, participants reported. About 15 musicians played from 7:15 to a little after 8 and were followed by Sourwood Mountain Band of Franklinton until about 9:20. But it didn’t end there. The jammers came back on — with some of the band — and the fun continued until the lights went out.

There will be a Christmas parade in Franklinton.

If not for an eleventh hour effort, the town and its residents might have gone without its signature night-time parade for 2011.

Sometime on Monday, the seven billionth person was added to the Earth’s current population.
Many nations are taking credit for the milestone, although, obviously, no one knows for sure who exactly was the seven billionth baby!
Regardless, it’s not a cause for celebration.
GOOD MORNING: Halloween has come and gone and so has the month of October. It’s November now. I turn 84 twenty days from today, followed by Thanksgiving two days later, and we fall back to Eastern Standard Time (EST) at 12:01 this coming Sunday morning. In addition to all of that, if weather forecasts pan out, we’re in for some pretty nice fall weather thru Saturday, at least, although there’s something like a 50 percent chance of rain on Friday with daytime highs in the mid to upper 60’s thru Thursday, when things begin to cool off again.

I know I sound like a broken record.
But here I go, again.

Will Pat Green spend any time in jail?
Dear Editor:
Hello my fellow Franklin County citizens. Well, Jerry Jones has done it again. He is wasting taxpayers’ money by making a lot of unnecessary changes (examples: changing the stripes on the patrol cars and firing people for no reason, which could result in a lawsuit against the county). The money that is being wasted will be paid back by me and you through our taxes.
Louisburg police are looking for a suspect who assaulted a businessman.
Jeremy May reported that he was working late at his Verizon store on Bickett Boulevard when he was checking on the store’s alarm system and had gone out back at about 11 p.m. on Monday.
That’s when he was confronted by an assailant, May said.
