SUMMARY: Calhoun City is a small town located at the intersection of Highways 8 and 9, equidistant from Grenada, Tupelo, Oxford, and Starkville. The town is centered around a Central Square with stores, food trucks, and a rolling produce stand. The mayor, Marshall Coleman, aims to improve the town after being deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan. The town is also home to the Ace Cannon room, dedicated to the saxophonist who made hit records in the 1960s. Nearby Pittsburgh is the county seat of Calhoun County and houses the former home of governor Dentist Murphrey, now a repository for historical records. Murphrey served as governor twice in the 1920s and 1940s.

SUMMARY: The Laurel Fire Department is adding two fire trucks to its fleet, one for Engine 6 and another for the reserve fleet, each costing approximately $50,000. The city council approved the purchase following the recent fire damage to Engine 6’s truck.
