I hope you are enjoying our little tour of the Drew County Museum and will come take a look for yourself soon!! We’ll begin our journey this week in the room that now serves as the museum’s office. Along the north and east walls of that first-floor room four unique oil paintings are hanging. The first is an aesthetic rendition of the old Selma United Methodist Church. The church is one of the most recognized sites in Drew County, is on the National Register of Historic Places and has been lovingly restored in recent years. The soft, yet bright colors in the painting give the scene a pastoral quality. The painting is the work of Jerry Swope, an art teacher at Monticello High School in the 1970’s. Mr. Swope has since moved from Monticello, but left fond memories with his many friends, and this beautiful piece of art in the museum.
Wednesday afternoon, a Taxi from Hot Springs was delivering a fare to the Calhoun Street area.
That may not be a news item, but the bright yellow paint sure drew attention.
Monticello hasn’t had a taxi service in several years, but that might be a good business venture, for someone to consider.
Many middle-aged people remember the Shipley’s Donut Shop that were scattered across many towns back in the 1970’s. (I remember visiting Greenville’s shop a few years ago.)

Chuck Dovixh, with AETN, recently held a preview of the completed footage from the upcoming Bayou Bartholomew documentary scheduled to be broadcast on Thursday.
The interest history of “the Bayou” was discussed. It had as many as 96 steamships traveling its waters, coming as far upstream as Baxter. It also supported the early log-rafting industry, supplying logs to downstream sawmills
Bayou Bartholomew is the 3rd most diversified waterway in the US , with 117 species of fish in it.
A Monticello woman was killed in a single vehicle truck accident on Florence Road, Sunday afternoon, around 3:45.
On our museum tour this week we will again begin at the front door. As noted earlier, the door itself has beveled glass panes highlighted by a magnificent fanlight at the top and gorgeous sidelights. When Mr. Cavaness was building the house, he traveled to the Crescent City where he found the gorgeous door with its fanlight and sidelights, purchased them and brought the entire set to Monticello to serve as the main entry to his home.
Happy 14th Birthday,
Deluno Lucas
Love, Mom and Family
