Arrington replied, "That road has
been up to 96 degrees 10 times since you
laid it."
Arrington went on to say, "I'll admit
that some of the road is in better shape
since you've been commissioner but
there are other roads in Precinct two
that are in better condRion."
"Gun Barrel City paid for that oil,"
Box said, "and I don't mind telling you
that road leads to my house."
"All I'm asking," Arrington said, "is
that something be done with the roads
and if nothing is done come next

Mrs. Hornbuckle maintained her own
home until she was 97. Her hobby was
tending her flower garden, but she is
best remembered in Trinidad for her
cooking.
"She's fed everybody in town," a
granddaughter said. "When folks think
about her they think about good food."
Her family members expressed pride
in their mother and grandmother. Not
for her longevity, but for the good
thipgs about her life. She tended to her
family until the time of her stroke.
The stroke caused her to be in a coma
for a long period of time. Although she
was extremely ill for several weeks,
she is eating now, can get up and move
around and is showing improvement.
"She was very alert until the time of
her stroke," daughter Mary Micheaux
said.
