PLEASE CHECK YOUR LABELS!! If you put packages in the box that do not have UPS LABELS they will leave them on top of the box - and they will sit there - until you come back looking for them. There are packages out there right now.

The UPS box out front is a courtesy service to you. The News does not profit in any way from it being there. We also are not responsible for any packages left in or on top of the box. CHECK YOUR LABELS. We do not deliver wrongly labeled packages to right locations! 📬

Please join us for our Community Leaders Meet & Greet on June 24 at 3 p.m. This event will feature representatives from Anchor of Hope, Blakely Fire Department, Blakely Police, Blakely's Mayor, Early County Health Department, Early County Schools, Early County Sheriff Office, and Southwest Georgia Academy.
We look forward to seeing you!

UH OH!! We made a mistake!! Unfortunately, the wrong Brickyard Market ad is printed on the back page of the Early County News. THIS IS THE CORRECT AD. The ad is correct in The EXTRA and online, and the printed copies in the store are correct. We apologize for the wrong information in the print version.
