The wording of the po-
litical ad raised concerns
about the legality of offer-
ing rides to voters. The
school district was ad-
vised to contact Panola
County District Attorney
Danny Buck Davidson.

Prom
From page 1A
$75 for dinner and maybe
$200 for the limousine, so
the money is spread
around.”
Fellow Carthage busi-
nesswoman Patricia Smith
agrees with Barney. “This
is normally a slower time
of the year because you've
just finished Christmas
and you haven’t started
summer yet, so prom-re-
lated sales really help,”
Smith said. Smith esti-
mates more than half of
her prom customers are
from outside the county.
“We’ve had a girl come the
last two years from San
Antonio,” Smith said.
Possibly the largest part
of Smith's prom-related
business is derived from
prom dresses. “We register
the dresses so no one else
can buy that dress for the
same prom - the girls love
that,” Smith said. The in-
crease of business effects
Smith's work schedule as
well. “Wednesday was wild
with people wall to wall,”
Smith said. “We stay here
until 6:30 every evening, so
we work at least a nine or
10 hour day. We're going to
be open Sunday to accept
tuxedos back, too.”
Business owner Rusty
Evans said he most defi-
nitely enjoys an increase
in business for his limou-
sine service. “I've got two
limousines, but I can get
my hands on about 12,”
Evans said. “We’ve got all
12 rented this weekend.”
Jessica Forsyth, hairstylist
at the Sassy Belle, said she
will be busy all day Satur-
day. “You’re here all day
back to back,” Forsyth
said. “I'm pushing it by
taking 11 appointments to-
day.”
Daniele Branton, stylist
at The Village, said she be-
gan taking appointments
some time ago. “Some
start making their ap-
pointments as soon as they
announce the date for
prom,” Branton said. “But,
I've had some schedule this
week.” Sarah Credeur, co-
owner of Salon Bliss, said
she and the other stylist
there have stayed busy all
week. “My bookings
tripled the week of prom,”
Creduer said. “I'm com-
pletely booked for both
Friday and Saturday.’’Cre-
duer said the average cus-
tomer will spend around
$200. “That includes nails,
a spray tan and fixing their
hair in an up-do,” Creduer
said. “This is the best time
of year for all of us.”

APRIL IS NATIONAL SAFE
DIGGING MONTH
When it comes to digging safely, you make
the call. Whether you're working on a large
excavation or simply planting a tree in your
yard, natural gas and utility line safety should
always be job one - and that starts with calling
811 to have your utility lines marked. By doing
so, you can be certain where your electric, gas,
water and other important lines are located
as well as avoid causing serious injuries,
service interruptions or possibly costly fines
for damaged infrastructure. Make the call. It's
easy, and free. Respect the lines. Dig with care.
After all, safety is in your hands... but always
on our mind.
