Southern Hospitality

There are three offices in this building also. They are the Prentiss County Circuit Clerk, Prentiss County Tax Assessor, and the Prentiss County Tax Collector.

In 2004-2005, the courthouse was completely renovated and restored to its original design.

This is Cox-Blythe Drugstore. This is the oldest drug store in Booneville. The amazing thing is it has survived through three or four more drugstores coming into Booneville.

This is one of the oldest buildings in downtown Booneville. It went out of business in the last five years and is now being used for the art shows!

These are in the memorial garden also. They are pictures and newspapers articles from that time.

When Hunter Mayo was in the 6th grade at Hills Chapel School, he was killed in an automobile accident. I was in the 5th grade at Hills Chapel, and I remember how it turned that school upside down. Hunter was a great kid who would do anything to help other people.

Hunter was a big athlete. He played baseball at the park since he was very young. They had a memorial service on the 9 and 10 year old baseball field. This is now the Hunter Mayo Memorial Field.

This is the Assisted Living Nursing Home founded by Travis Childers and Prentiss County attorney Joey Langston in the late 1990s.

This is the Prentiss County Agri-Center. Some of the things that take place in here are bull riding, wrestling, tractor pulls, concerts, and antique shows.

This is the new Wal-Mart Supercenter. It was built in 2008. It has helped many people. Wal-Mart, of course, is cheaper than grocery stores, so most people would have to go to Corinth or Tupelo to get groceries or just pay grocery store prices. Now we can get our groceries here!

You are now leaving Booneville,MS.
