JESSICA LYNCH - Signs Of The Times

(04/14/2003)
Wirt County has been under the hammer for extinction and the subject of numerous comments and editorials, by what Alvin Engelke refers to as "Mouth of the Elk" politicians whose life centers within a few miles of the capitol.

Comments, which have been printed in The Herald, range from "It (Wirt) never amounted to much..." to it should not take up space as a political sub-division, and should be eliminated.

That was pre-Jessica. You will note the new sign attached to entrance of Elizabeth.
