Musgrove
speaks at Rotary
Governor
Ronnie Musgrove was the program speaker at
the Cleveland Rotary Club on October 30. The
Governor spoke about issues ranging from education
to the economy. He stated that even though
the national recession has impacted our state,
Mississippi has redirected its strategy to
overcome the challenges currently being faced.
"We absolutely can not lose sight of the fact
that the economy is the foundation and the
engine that drives our nation," stated Musgrove.
Musgrove stressed the importance of creating
new jobs throughout the state, saying that
employment diversification is the key to building
a strong state economy. |

The
Hotel Grover: a landmark of Bolivar County
Built in 1926-1927,
the Hotel Grover stands as a proud reminder of the
rich history of Bolivar County. The Hotel, which was
named after Cleveland's namesake Grover Cleveland,
was once called the "Delta's First Skyscraper." The
structure itself consists of five stories, around
100 rooms, and about 20,000 square feet. The building
has survived many transitions over the years, including
a name change in the 50's, when it became known as
The Downtown Hotel. In 1995, the City of Cleveland
purchased the building and performed various restorations,
the most recent of which was a new roof. Today, however,
despite a number of feasibility studies and several
restoration ideas, the Hotel Grover stands vacant,
awaiting the promise of tomorrow.

Delta Greenwings holds Annual Conservation Day
North Delta Greenwings recently
held their Annual Conservation Day on Saturday, October 26,
2002. The event took place at Infolab Farms on Island 66. This
Annual Conservation Day hopes to provide children with the information
needed to become both informed and ethical hunters, while having
fun. This year's guest speakers included Danny Tompkins and
Megan Ellis, both with the Department of Wildlife Fisheries
and Parks, as well as Chuck Hudson of the Bow Shop in Cleveland.
In addition to the speakers, the children participated in a
variety of outdoor activities and demonstrations. Several Prizes
were presented at the event including autographed duck calls
by Greg Hood and a .22 caliber rifle.

Concordia: one of Bolivar
County's first settlements
The old town of Concordia, which
resided about two and a half miles north of Gunnison and a half
mile off highway 1, was one of the original settlements in Bolivar
County. The town formed as a result of Carson's landing which
sat just to the north of the settlement, and combined with the
village around 1866 to form the official town of Concordia.
Concordia was known for its colorful atmosphere and flourished
until 1879 when around half of the population was wiped out
by yellow fever. In 1889, when a new railway system failed to
include Concordia in its path, the city was quickly abandoned
and many of the residents moved to the area that would later
become Gunnison. Today, very little remains of the city of Concordia,
except for the oldest graveyard in Bolivar County. In this graveyard
rest many of Bolivar County's first residents.
