David Creel: Does changing seasons mean changing your hair?
"There is a season, turn, turn, turn ..." It was said first in Ecclesiastes, at least as far as I know, and then it was sung by the Byrds. Since then, it has been applied to matters of life and death, the rise and fall of empires, the success and failure of relationships, even a person's changing interests as he or she matures.
Adele Elliott: Cha-cha-changes
"All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another." Anatole France
Adele Elliott: While I slept
It's been a pretty tough week at the Elliott-Hannon household. We worked really hard creating a pre-Halloween event. Maybe it was just too hard for me, because, although our tour was a huge success, I spent the rest of the week in bed with all sorts of ailments.
Historic church architecture, gardens and antiques are focus of Decorative Arts and Preservation Forum
The year was 1863. The country was mired in civil war, but in the small town of Columbus, Miss., Father J.B. Mouton, a French missionary, had a vision. He saw a new church, one inspired by his memory of the glorious 13th-century Sainte-Chapelle in the heart of Paris.

David Creel: Forty years of lessons learned
It's been a long time coming -- 40 years to be exact -- but my birthday is next week. And, yes, it's the big one, so I thought I would take a few moments and share a few things I have learned along the way.

New Harmonies: Smithsonian exhibit and CAC offer immersion into early music of America
Roots. As a little girl, Linda Lou Richardson couldn't get enough of the tinny tunes coming from her parents' old battery-operated radio. "LuLu" would dance through the house, clutching a ragged straw broom like a treasured guitar, singing along to Hank Williams Sr., live from the Grand Ole Opry.
Nobel Prize winner will share 'defining science' Wednesday
Sir Harold W. Kroto, winner of the 1996 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, will be featured Oct. 26 in a special program at Mississippi State.

Adele Elliott: Advice cop
It is said that the difference between women's magazines and men's is that magazines aimed at women are all about self-improvement, and men's are about how great they are. I do most of my magazine reading in the checkout line at Kroger (aka K. Roger, thanks to Ms. Stone!). It appears that there is much truth to this.
David Creel: Behold: Younger eyes, younger you
I have been in the business of beauty for 20 years, whether in the hustle and bustle of one of my salons or armed with an arsenal of brushes at the makeup counters, so this fellow knows some tricks you are sure to find a treat this fall.
Rufus Ward: Gen. Grant's Columbus ploy
History is like a big puzzle. There are scattered pieces tucked away in different collections, archives and books just waiting to be assembled. Sometimes these scattered pieces come together and what had been unassociated events help to form a complete story.
Welty Symposium boasts roster of international, Southern writers
The 23rd annual Eudora Welty Writers' Symposium Oct. 20-22 in Columbus embraces the theme "Crossing Cultures in the South: 'into the lovely room full of strangers.'"

With it, the symposium celebrates the role of international writers in Southern literature and the influence of other cultures on Southern writers.
