The Meridian Church in southeast Weakley County is 181 years old. They celebrated their 100th anniversary of Meridian Picnics which in the past have helped to finance an endowment fund for the upkeep of the Meridian Church CEMETERY. Thanks to a generous estate gift recently, the cemetery should be in good shape for many years to come. In celebration of the 100 years people have been coming home for this annual July picnic, free pony, carriage, jumping and sliding rides and foods were provided this year. The potluck dinner under the shade of the old tree was a groaning board of favorite southern foods. Gospel music filled the air. A good time was had by all.
