Smith County Historical & Genealogical Society will be hosting author and musician John Bridges at the March 17, 2008 meeting. Bridges has authored previous novels based on lives and experience in the Civil War era, the newest (and fourth book) follows in the same format as it follows the lives of Thomas Benton Smith, DeWitt S. Jobe and Dee Smith. Thus Three Cousins from Mechanicsville is based on their experiences through the “Uncivil War” and its aftermath. Come celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with us in the lower level of Smith County Public Library at 7:00 pm on March 17th. Guest are welcome and refreshments will be served. **************It's Tax Time!
