KOSCIUSKO — Well Well Well, I write this letter in Jest!! My greatest fear was to get lost in Attala County. I had dream that came true earlier, but on Saturday, I took a quick trip to Holmes County via Durant.

I proceeded to Goodman on Hwy. 51, crossed the Big Black River on Hwy. 14 and I decided to turn left on road 4101. I guess that is Attala County Beat 4.

To my dismay I got lost. Now, I continued down the black-top road and ran into gravel. Hill folks call this a dirt road but in the Delta we call it a gravel road. So much for that!

I got lost, I got lost, I got lost trying to my way.*

I had many road signs to follow that started with four but I did not understand what the three other numbers stood for. I was lucky to find three people that wanted to help.

The first said cross the bridge and take the first right; the second said keep trucking or words to that effect; the third paused and scratched his head for a moment and said I would end up in Sallis.

By the way – I did. I must give credit where is due and what inspired me to write this letter and that is Attala County's famous Blues musician, Charlie Musselwhite's song, "Strange Land."*

Take pause and pray on Square Sunday
Normally, I keep my faith to myself. I am not given to public displays of my faith. However, Attala County has had one heck of a year thus far. I think it is time for us to take a pause as a community.
