Local pharmacy is burglarized

The Monroe City Police are offering a $200 cash reward leading to the arrest and conviction of the individual or individuals who broke into Gateway Pharmacy sometime early on Dec. 31.

Florida Folklife Festival scheduled

The Friends of Florida, Inc. met Monday evening Jan. 5 at the Mark Twain Shrine in Florida. The Florida Folklife Festival was scheduled for Aug. 8 - 9, 2009.

A new slate of officers was welcomed. They are President Adalaide Minor; Vice President Edwin Bush; Secretary Mary McCollum; and Treasurer Libby Williams. Topic discussions included informational meetings/membership drives to be held in the s
urrounding towns, a future Founders’ Day Celebration; the trail which is being built in and around Florida, and informational brochures.
The group would like to encourage anyone in the area interested in Florida and our Mark Twain heritage to attend the meetings and take part in the Friends’ activities.
The group plans to meet with the Monroe County Historical Society at the Paris Library at 7:30 p.m. on Feb. 23 and will have information for the public on Friends of Florida activities.
