Clothing bank to be open Saturday

KIRKSVILLE — Hello everyone. School is in full swing, so that means children waiting to be picked up by the buses. So use caution slow and respect the school bus drivers.

There are more new photos on display at the Roundhill Store. The horseless carriage from 1908 is shown. It is a 1908 Buick. The driver’s riding attire includes goggles and gloves. The second photo is of Thomas Jefferson Curtis. While having his breakfast, Shelby Cates noted that he remembered a Mr. Ballard that had a car like that. It was either a Model T or a Studebaker. Then the conversation turned to the horse and buggy. Back then, the Kirksville streets were made of dirt.

The clothing bank at the Kirksville Community Center will be open Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. The clothing bank has provided a great need for the community as well as many others. Donations can be made that day as well.

The Full Gospel Tabernacle Youth group also is participating in providing some children in our community with school supplies and clothing. The young people are trying to extend a helping hand to the community.

The Kirksville Baptist Church extends an invite for anyone who would like to attend a potluck meal with the Mississippi team on Wednesday, Aug. 25 at 6 p.m. at the church. Bring a couple of dishes of food to make the night a great full of food and fellowship.

The Salem Christian Church in Poosey will be hosting a fish fry on Aug. 28 at 6 p.m. Eeryone is invited. This will be a great time to meet more of our neighbor churches.
