Until the 60's there was a neon sign in Greenville that said, "Welcome to Greenville. Home of the blackest land and whitest people." They didn't allow blacks inside the city limits after dark.

Russell Brewer who got stuck tonight was from Klondike, in Jasper visiting for the weekend. I think Klondike might be in that part of the country...around Sulphur Springs.

I grew up in Jasper. I have never seen or heard of a racist sign here. There was a Klan here decades ago but they all died long ago.

How do you get from A to B? Quite a jump there.

Thats the sign..

All others are lies/talltales...

I had an old feller offer to help me with a buck once, I told him it was gone, he told me to camp in his yard and we would find him. I would have taken him up on the offer but I had to go to work in Garland the next morning, I gave him my tag and a note for the Game Warden that said he could have it if he could find it...he may have, he had some badass Sounders...( Bayhounds/Sniffers)
