The Banner's Christmas edition is in mailboxes and email feeds today and contains letters to Santa written by school children in the parish. One group of letters, however, were best suited to remain as images. So they're provided here so Santa can take a look - here's letters from Ms Brooks's kindergarten class at Southside. Happy Holidays!!!

Local farmers Matthew Brown and Nolan Parker were recently featured in the national magazine Farm Journal. Catch a summary of it here:

As it goes in most farming families, sons and daughters who want to step into the family vocation step into their parents’ and even grandparents’ operation. But two young men in East Carroll Parish were recently recognized by Farm Journal for taking a different route.

At the annual meeting of the Louisiana Press Association in Baton Rouge today, our paper brought home four first place prizes for our work last year, including first in General Excellence, and two third place. Billy Coleman received the Sam Hanna Award for best regular column. We are so proud of him, know what this would have meant to him, and would give a lot to have seen him accept it himself. Thanks for reading us and supporting us. Onward!
