First quarter of the year

I was wanting to know about Ruler Foods that is going into the old Marketplace building. Are they going to put a market in there or what? The sign is been up there for a long time and it doesn't seem like anything is going on. Are they going to put it in and if so, when?

We contacted Mark Belleville of Ruler Foods. He said the company will be coming to Sikeston within the first three months of 2015.

Bucking the system

I'd like to speakout about people. My brother is dying of cancer and I have sent him a card with $50 in it to a post office box in Sikeston, Mo. His address is actually a street address. So I contacted the supervisor at Sikeston, Mo., and they said it was actually delivered to the post office box. So I sent the people a letter and asked them to please return the money and told them the situation of how sick my brother really is. The money was to pay for some of his cancer medication. It's been two weeks and I've got no response, so I'm sending another letter today. The supervisor at the post office said there were a couple of people getting mail at that address. Hopefully they will return it or send it back. I just think it's so wrong. To a poor person, that $50 is like a million. I'm heartbroken that people could do this, keep $50 that was delivered to the wrong address by mistake. I just think it's wrong. Doesn't seem like there's much honesty in the world. God be with you all. My number is 616-405-1859. Maybe you can do something. Please call me and help.
