There was no news in the Louisburg town budget this year!
Or was there? Perhaps it was buried a little.
But here’s what we noticed at first glance:
I suppose it had to happen sooner or later — but at least it wasn’t nearly as tragic as it could have been.
One of our U.S. 401 Citizens Action Committee members (who has threatened my life if I reveal her identity although I think she was kidding) was motoring south toward Raleigh recently.
Ahead, a northbound bus was stopped to let children off and she pulled her car to a stop while the red warning lights on the bus continued to flash.
GOOD MORNING: I know I’ve said it before, but if I owed someone a hot day and they wouldn’t accept Monday in payment thereof, they’d just go unpaid.
I don’t know what the official reading for Louisburg was, but the thermometer in my front yard briefly hit the 102 mark around 1:15 p.m. before dropping back to 99.5 shortly thereafter.
Dear Editor:
I think Dr. Robert McLaurin and his group have a wonderful thing for Franklin County with the Franklin County Cancer Center. It is so convenient to be able to come here instead of going to Rocky Mount so often.

Franklin County residents have a fun new way to support the SPCA of Franklin County by helping the shelter win $15,000 through an online contest.
The shelter that gets the most votes in the “America’s Favorite Animal Shelter” contest, sponsored by Care2.com, ASPCA and Adopt-a-Pet will win the grand prize.
Franklin County USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) Acting Executive Director Sheila Allen reminds Franklin County producers that to receive USDA program payments, each recipient must have an Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) verification consent form on file with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
How wonderful it is to be able to remember the past. What would the world be without memories to cherish and memories to pass along? A good memory might be one of the most meaningful and valuable things we can have.
