3-4. A late happy birthday to Phillips County News publisher Mark Hebert who is a Leap Year baby! Get better soon to Allie Olson and all else who are sick. It is hard to believe it is already March. Happy birthday and anniversary to all celebrating this March.

I can’t walk very well and once when we had a nice day I was going to Hardware Hank and the sidewalk was clear and d...
