Everyone from Oak Grove knows the story of Mr. Neil Smith and the Drug Store on main street. The walls are covered with the history of Oak Grove athletics. Mr. Neil told me that most of the old pictures were from Mr. Bobby Barnett, who had saved them out the West Carroll Gazette. Dr. Mark Barnett has promised to get me copies of these photos, so I can post them. As he sends them, I will post them here.
