Attendees of the ArtSpot grand opening had the opportunity to participate in several different rooms in which some of Phillips County's best-known...

I was raised in southern Indiana and left as soon as I could. Not that it was a bad place to grow up, but I’d always dreamed of bigger,...

Any day that features family, football and food is A-OK in my book (throw in a couple of brewskies and away we go.) If there is one thing about this holiday that I could live without, it is the overeating I do on the day. My eyes are often bigger than my stomach and that third helping of whipped spuds and turkey gravy often leaves me writhing in pain as I attempt to pop the top button of my pants. I only bring up the eyes vs. stomach metaphor because it...

October 15, 1914 100 years ago Headline: Phillips County Assured Since the filing of the petitions praying for the new county of Phillips to be organized out of part of Valley and Blaine Counties, there has been little or no trouble experienced until the first of this week, when the fact was brought to the notice of the Malta people by some of the fair minded citizens of Saco that a withdrawal or remonstrance petition had been circulated.
