GLIMPSES FROM THE PAST - This week's glimpse takes a look at a hardwood timber operation in the early days of the county. The work was being carried out in Moro Creek bottoms near Kingsland. This was in a time when teams of mules, horses and oxen were used to move the logs to nearby mills or tram roads. For questions or comments, contact Stan Sadler at sadler.stan@yahoo.com

Later the bank was located at the southeast corner of Second and Main, and today, Gateway Bank (formerly The Bank of Rison) is located at the northeast corner of Second and Main.

GLIMPSES FROM THE PAST - This is a Rison Main Street glimpse from another time, as we see a couple of gentlemen having a discussion next to a car - possibly a late 1940's Chevrolet Fleetline, or possibly a Pontiac Torpedo (please, let us know if you can identify the automobile). We feel certain this photo was made in the second block, but we can't be sure about which buildings are seen in the background. The fellow at right we believe we know, evidence given away by what looks to be a cigar in his hand.
