The front of a building in the Mount Ayr business district was torn down as the building immediately north of the Small Corral restaurant was knocked down and hauled away. Owner Don SMALL said the building was in bad shape. "We found out just how bad it was when we were removing the metal front at the top of the building Monday," SMALL said. The area will provide a parking lot behind the restaurant, SMALL said.

When Paul ANDROF joined the Ringgold County Hospital Ambulance Service's team of caregives in late November 1995, he brought a third paramedic on staff. He joined Mike and Tammy BUMAN, a husband and wife team, who have pretty much been tied to their jobs 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Since BUMANS came to the local hospital, there have been great strides made in the contribution fo the ambulance service to the overall care offered at Ringgold County Hospital.
