The Thanksgiving evening and middle of the night Black Friday sales at big retailers really should just go away. When I woke up Friday morning, I wanted to get a couple hours of work done so I could enjoy some time off, and before I started writing stories I was perplexed by reading a story about the chaos that ensued at a mall in Alabama. The mall was closed after a fight and this was one of many incidents across the country. These things can get really ugly and downright scary. Watching the videos of the way people act is horrifying.

Both teams were no strangers to success last season with the Trojans finishing fourth at the Class B State Tournament, and the Eagles getting to the Class C State Title game.

By 1872, mail service was available at either Cold Springs or Jefferson Island. When the Northern Pacific Railroad arrived in 1890, a depot and telegraph office were opened at what was then called Jefferson Island. In 1895, a bridge was completed over the...
