Announcements: This area is reserved for temporary articles of local interest. A special display is being assembled at Winona Library. The Shannon Co. Historical and Genealogical Society will display pictures and history of the City of Winona, with a special emphasis on the Ozark Land and Lumber Company and the Current River Railroad. Our city was incorporated in 1888, with the coming of the railroad, and boomed when the big mill was erected at Fishertown. The timber industry is still very vital to our community, and we welcome old pictures and artifacts. Plan to stop in and enjoy our displays.
