Trout Tales, Sept. 27
I almost lost my flies last week at the Fun Time Shows carnival at the Stumpff Family Event Center.
The family and I were excited to see so many rides and games set up over four days, and we
made sure to just about all of them.
‘Cats shine in first half, wear down in second
It was a tale of two halves for the Cassville football team on Friday. The Wildcats (3-2) held their own in the opening 24 minutes against a McDonald County team enjoying a significant size difference.

Donnie Spears: The scriptures: The Bible!
Do you believe the Word of GOD to be true and complete? “Knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation, for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.” 2 Peter 1:20-21 “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.” 2 Timothy 3:16-17 Christians, everything we do, believe, and stand on must start and end with God’s holy word. The Bible is the truth we must stand on in everyday life.
