Guntersville Gazette

Wasn’t more than half a mile between the city limit signs

Population cut in half, the day they shut down the mine

Only thing that hasn’t changed, is the way the gossip spreads

Cindy Lou’s nails & hairdo’s and the Guntersville Gazette



When I got home from college, first paper I picked up

Found the girl I thought was waitin’, had waited long enough

Right beside her smilin’ face, under brides to be,
said Saturday Miss Amanda Chase would be Mrs. William McGee



Never know from page to page whether you will laugh or cry

One page a baby’s born, on the next an old friend died

Get advice from Gabby’s corner, all that for just a quarter

I was raised, there’s three things, you never questioned what they said

Grandpa, the gospel, and the Guntersville Gazette



Two lonely concrete islands sticking above the ground

Underneath heartbreakin’ headlines, Humpy’s Gas & Tires burned down

Sally Johnson made the honor roll, the Tigers finally beat the Jets

Read all about it in the Guntersville Gazette





Wise old men, a church house, a hand-cranked printin’ press
