I love the South! I was born and raised in North Carolia and I'll die here.

But Dixie ain't what it used to be. In some ways that's good. In many ways it's bad.

The biggest problem is that there's too damn many Yankees moving here from up north.

They're tearing up the land and deluting the Southern culture. They're trying to tell us we're

stupid and backward when we proclaim our Southern pride. The way I see it,

if they don't like the way we live, they can go back up north!

Ron, you have done a great job with the Vaiden page. I'm from Winona and

now live in Meridian. Vaiden always reminds me of 1977 when I fell while loading a train

in Vaiden and broke my neck. Not to worry, I recovered completely.

My room mate at Mississippi State was from Vaiden. Great little town.

Really enjoyed your site. I guess all us from

the South talk alike. Ain't it great?!! What makes me

mad are the Southern people who are made fun of the way

they talk by Northeners and try to correct the way they

talk. Be proud of your dialect and the way you talk.

There were many men who died in the War of Northern

Aggression, so you would be able to talk the way you do!

Keep up the good work, Ron.

I teach at the elementary school in Vaiden.

Your website sure came in handy.  The children here had

never seen the town of Vaiden in its splendor and glory.

I have enjoyed every moment viewing this site.  Some more of

the home folk will be visiting as well.  This is just wonderful.

Who would have thought that the little town of Vaiden would be

seen on the  Internet all over the country.

I look forward to visiting again.

P.S.  some more of the Vaiden Folks have discovered your website

and they will be sending you messages soon.

 Hi! I have very fond memories of Vaiden. I lived there

as a small child. My father was John H. Shands. Igrew up as

the "Opie Taylor" of Vaiden, I hung around downtown, visiting

everyone in the shops and stores, Mr. Palmertrees' Barber Shop

and went to the courthouse and playing at "Uncle Henry" Cannon's

wonderful home, catching candy the engineers used to through from

the train and visited everyone on a daily basis. My dad used to

tell me about how I went to Vacation Bible school of every

denomination !! It was a safe place. I'm looking forward to seeing

the pictures.

We recently spent a long weekend in Natchez and drove

through Rodney, MS as an afternoon excursion.

Unfortunately, we didn't get to see the entire town,

since we got stuck in a culvert across from the

Presbyterian church. Thankfully, someone was able to

pull us out of the ditch.

Do you know of any pictures of Rodney

I can access on the internet? The town looks wonderful

and I'd like to have something to remember

our "experience" in Rodney.

Thank you.

Ron, this is the first time in over a year I have visited your Vaiden page.

What wonderful changes you have made. I will just say that your content has improved 100%.

You have done a job you have every right to be proud of. It is very clear that your feelings

about Vaiden run deep. I was last there in Winter of '98, had a wonderful catfish dinner and,

after a six week stay in Kosciusko, Vaiden was the last town in that area

I drove through on my way home. I'm looking forward to a return. I will send you a private message

with a couple of comments both of which relate to a book I am writing about the now extinct town of

Rocky Point which in the 1800s was about 10 to 15 miles south of Vaiden on county road 440 between Hesterville

and West. Again, good job, Ron!

Ron, you have a great site.

By separate e-mail, I am sending you portions of my book

"A History of Mississippi Cotton Mills and Villages," 1998,

which you may want to share with your viewers.    Briefly, the study examines the historical development of cotton

mills in the state, from the first mill at Natchez in 1834 to the demise

of the Sanders's con-glomerate of cotton mills in the 1950s.

It visits the antebellum mills at Natchez, Bankston, Woodville,

State Penitentiary, and Jackson; the post Civil War mills at Wesson,

Stonewall, Cornith, Natchez, and Meridian; and the twentieth century mills

at Missis-sippi A&M College, Tupelo, McComb, Berthadale, Natchez,

Kosciusko, Laurel, Starkville, Magnolia, Meridian, West Point,

Winona, and Yazoo City. How the turbulent years of the Civil War,

the radical Reconstruction, the Great Depression, and World War ll

affected Mississippi cotton manufacturing is reviewed.   Mill villages at Tupelo, Starkville, Kosciusko, Mag-nolia, Meridian, and

Winona are high- lighted. It focuses considerable attention to a typical Sanders

mill village and its villagers from the late 1920s to the early 1950s;

the village at Magnolia--a part of Sanders Industries which dominated the Mississippi

cotton textile industry in the twentieth century--is the one examined.

Magnolia's role in the 1934 nation-wide strike, the largest strike in American

history up to that time, is reviewed.  Special attention is given to Colonel James Wesson, the father of Mississippi

cotton manufacturing, who built the state's first successful mechanically powered

cotton mill at Bankston in 1848, and after it was burned by Federal troops in 1864,

the mill at Wesson in 1867; Captain William Oliver who brought international

fame to the mammoth Wesson mills; T. L. Wainwright who brought success to the

Stonewall mill, established in 1868 and the state's sole surviving cotton mill;

and finally James Sanders and his son, Robert, who established and managed a conglomerate of

Mississippi cotton mills in the first half of the twentieth century.    It concludes that the Industrial Revolution of the South, spearheaded by the cotton

textile manufacturing in the 1880s, never really came to Mississippi. The state

and its people refused to break away from agriculture, but some twenty-five cotton textile

mills played a vital role in paving the way for the industrialization that finally came with

World War II and the 1940s. The industry acted as a bridge, especially during the 1920s

and 1930s, between the farm and the factory. It records for the first time an important part

of Mississippi's history, and has a very special appeal to present and former Mississippi

textile workers who were a part of it and their sons and daughters by the thousands who

grew up in the mill villages.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Don't you think that it's ironic that you mention that you're in school,

yet you don't know that the Civil War AFFECTED people, not EFFECTED them ?

Looks as if you'll be in school quite a while longer while trying to figure out

proper sentence syntax.  Also, most of us learn to put a CAPITAL letter on the first word of a sentence.

Criticism is one thing, but trying to criticize when you have no idea how to do so, just makes you look stupid.

What a wonderful website!  Great music.

I grew up in Vicksburg, and my late father, Luther W. Scoggins,

was born near Vaiden, in Kilmichael.

He worked for the Illinois Central railroad in the 1920's

and I can remember his telling many stories of Mr. Harvey Caldwell.

If you or any of your visitors have any information on the

Scoggins, Gregg, Brisco(e) or Lovin families from the Vaiden/Winona/Kilmichael area,

I would love to be contacted.

Thanks again for an imaginative and informative site!

I was lonely today as my husband is out of town

and I had the whole weekend inside as the temperature

is 10 to 20 degrees and found this sight and love it.

I am printing off the ole folks page to take to Wisconsin

with me tomorrow to show those people how to talk.

They say I talk funny and I'm going to show them just how

funny we talk in Mississippi.

I am from Mississippi and I love Mississippi.  Anybody can say

what they want to about us but I think the best folks

in the world live in Mississippi.  Now we have done some bad things

in the past but hopefully we will not make those same mistakes again.

Our food and family lives are just different from other areas.

I have worked in every state in the union and I love Mississippi the best.

I have looked at your web site several times getting info. If your mother was Juanita Hambrick, she knew my mother quite well. She was Ruth Calhoun who had a twin sister Ruby. Her father was John C. Calhoun, and her mother was Mollie Eades. I have been researching the family and trying to write things down for my own children. My mother passed away in July 1999, and I now regret that I did not write down some of the many stories she told about Vaiden and the surrounding area. I have the family tree back to Ross Calhoun and the McEacherns back to Scotland. I also have the Eades back to Bartlett Eades. If you have any information, resources, or stories you have heard about the Calhouns, I would really love to hear from you. I live in Lufkin, Texas, and it is hard for me to spend much time in Vaiden. My husband and I did visit Vaiden, Hopewell, and Midway earlier this summer. My cousin John C. still has children in the area, but I have not seen any of them for a long time. It was nice to come across a familiar name while searching the net. I remember your mother corresponding with mine when you were just a baby. I remember Louise and Wilson, also. I can remember visiting your mother - I think it was a house up on a hill - it was a LONG time ago. All the best.

Lets just take a look at southern history. I know i am not that old myself(20 to be exact) but i know a lot about my southern heritage from being born and raised in Shilo, Tenn. To me, the "dixie" flag means a lot, it means to me about the freedome to live one's life the way he/she thinks. Not at all about hate and violence like some people think. To me, The flag is about herritage and where a person comes from and how he/she grew up. And as far as the "Dixie flag", it's not a "rebel" flag, it's more of a pride flag, of where your from, who you are and god given graces of how your raised.

Hi there! I was directed to your website because I happened to look up "Duck Twacy" on the internet. It's one of my favorite cartoons of all time (The Great Piggy Bank Robbery) and I was wondering if you know where I can obtain that cartoon. Also "Falling Hare" (I LOVE the gremlin!) is my favorite. If you (or anyone else reading this for that matter) knows where I can obtain copies of these cartoons, e-mail me back! Thanks! I love your website!!!! :)

James left Mississippi between 1854 and 1857 and settled in Claiborne Parish, Louisiana. Many of his descendants are still living in surrounding parishes today.

Since our great grandmother, Kate Missouri Warf Price, lived in Noxubee County Mississippi before the Civil War it is pretty safe to say that the school must have been in Summerville, Noxubee, MS.

Mannn this is the time of year that I miss Vaiden the most. I'd ride my bike down to Front Street. In a way it was kinda like a mall. You'd start at one end and would visit Farrish's Grocery, The Co-Op, the Post Office, and Mr. McCorkle's Grocery. Mr. McCorkle was always good for a story or two about Vaiden's past! He'd talk about playing with his friends when he was a kid. They used to run around with flashlights, he'd say. Then on to Cearley's (quick candy bar break), past the beauty parlor, the pool hall, the Cotton buyer, Smith's furniture for a quick look at their records, 45's and LPs. I bought "Summer In The City" by the Lovin' Spoonfull there. Then you go past the Barber Shop and end up at Willie Crooks, just in time to buy a Frostie Rootbeer. Crooks was almost the Front Street living room. You'd never know who might be there, talking about whatever. Drop by on Saturday night and you'd see Charger Mickey, the sheriff. He'd hang out and just be there, I suppose just in case he was needed. A very cool place. Most of the time you knew every person you saw. So different from life today. It's kinda like a dream!

This is a wonderful work you have done. You must be very proud. I know I would be. Your web page caught my eye because I'm trying to find information on my grandfather, Hendrix Campbell. I think he was born Dec 25,1886 in winona. He and his sister Katie were the offspring of a white father, named Campbell(we have no first name)not sure of Mr. Campbell's profession. One uncle said he was a barber, or undertaker, or maybe even a doctor. My grandfather Hendrix's mother was mixed african & choctaw indian, her name was Neal. We think her mother may have been a slave on the Senior Campbell's plantation. Neal's father was a choctaw indian, we don't know his name. But her mother, the african's name was Harriett. The only other thing I know is that the White Mr. Campbell, raised both Hendrix and Katie in the same household with his other children, because they were so light skinned they both could have passed for white. I'm run into a brick wall. I had hoped to learn something about J.A. Campbell or Charlie Campbell. If you know anything about them, or could direct me to were I might find additional information about them, I would be very appreciative. Please feel free to email anytime, Thanks, Verna Griffey
