District searches deeds BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com
Alcorn County school board members will soon decide the future of the shuttered Glendale and Rienzi elementary school properties. The county’s two smallest schools were closed in May following a 3-2 board vote earlier
this year. Now as administrators and teachers move their final belongings out of the two dormant buildings, board members must decide what’s next for the properties. Although the Rienzi school property is likely clear of titles, school board attorney Arch Bul-
lard said “there appears to be” a reverter clause associated with the Glendale school property. With an reverter in place, the property could return to the original grantor. According to a deed obtained by the Daily Corinthian, the land Please see DEEDS | 3
Sheriff’s office getting new radios BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com
The Alcorn County Sheriff’s Department will get a communications upgrade with the installation of new in-car radios. A Department of Homeland Security grant of $24,626 will cover the purchase and installation of 14 radios compatible with the Mississippi Wireless Integrated Network (MSWIN). Sheriff Ben Caldwell told the Board of Supervisors that the county purchased only handheld radios when it began using the MSWIN system, and there are places in the
county where deputies have had trouble with signals. The MSWIN system makes it possible for departments to communicate across the state. In other business during Monday’s session: • The board voted to proceed with an update to the county road register by Cook Coggin Engineers beginning in the Third District. If the board is pleased with the results, it will be expanded to a county-wide project. There is concern that some road descriptions in the register are not adequate. Please see RADIOS | 2

KOSSUTH — Children have been on an underground adventure at Pleasant Hill United Pentecostal Church. Jesus has been the light for the youngsters as they experience God’s word during “Cave Quest” at the church.
“The quest is to find out more about Jesus,” said Vacation Bible School Director Pat Grossell. “Each night has emphasized one simple Bible truth.” Bible Buddies such as Sal the Salamander, Mawtha the Moth, Radar the Bat, Olivia the Owl and Ray the Glow Worm have helped the 36-38 kids each
night learn more about Jesus. “The Buddies are really neat and reminds them of the day’s lesson,” said Grossell. The points of the week included: • Jesus gives us hope. • Jesus gives our courage.
