When filling out info on a new listing for the Multiple Listing Service I always cringe when some things are asked. One of my least favorites is this in choices. Wired for highspeed internet. I always pass that one by because how can you actually tell? One's idea of high speed may be dial up;

Downtown Searcy ARKANSAS, corner of Arch and Spring Streets on the Square. This is an old picture of Searcy Arkansas's Security Bank. It is now called First Security Bank and is one of the strongest banks in the state. My next picture will show how it has been restored. Throughout the

We usually hate getting mail that is trying to get us to buy something, don't we? Not as much as we hate telemarketers but we usually glance at it and then throw it in the trash. Mail a few days ago, however, caught my eye. There was this fantastic photo of an old truck with Sowell's Home Supp
