The Nicholson House, located across the street from the Phillips County Hospital and Family Health Clinic, looks like they are doing some remodeling in Malta, perhaps removing a fireplace. Last week, I watched workers put up the new marquee sign at the Villa Theatre. It looks good. Sometime this summer, I hope my parents can take me to Glasgow so I can take a look at the old Shopko building because I still hear that Albertsons is moving there. I hope to get some before and after pictures and if...

What would Snakehead Gilbert have thought? The March 1959 issue of the PCN “electrified” the county when it reported that the last ranch was soon to be hooked into the new Big Flat REA line. The ranch they reported on was the old Long X Ranch. It would now have electricity furnishing heat, light, and refrigeration. Snakehead Gilbert was a cook at the old Long X Ranch 120 years ago.

The public is invited to step inside and step into the daily life of a prospector....
