Welcome to another new month, and now it’s Tim’s time to write.
I love Tippah and Benton County. Tippah and Benton County are wonderful places to live, to work, and to raise a family. In my opinion, we have the best counties in the state. Tippah and Benton County are packed with historical landmarks, historical events, and historical places. We should take our counties very serious.
