Running the Blockade: Want a Cannon?-- Ferry Reopens-- No "C" Flags Here

Some New News about an Old War.


1. WANT A CANNON-- The South Bent Tribune, Indiana, reports that an American Legion post in Niles is closing and something needs to be done with their cannon that dates to the Civil War.


2. FERRY REOPENS-- The Fort Fisher-Southport NC ferry reopened Monday, Feb. 2nd. It had been close3d for two months for repairs. Sure makes it easier to get across the Cape Fear River without going all the way through Wilmington, quite a long drive.


3. NO "C" FLAGS HERE-- The United Daughters of the Confederacy have been accustomed to flying Confederate flags downtown in honor of Lee's birthday on Jan. 19th. However, this year, they were not allowed to because of President Obama's inauguration. Come on guys!!!
