Barnett began his hobby 19 years ago after a 10 month correspondence course. He keeps some of his first mounts and notes that newer work looks sharper with experience. He recalls a rattlesnake brought by H O McGlockin of Athens that was alive when unbagged. They used ether to tranquilize it before mounting it.

Streets Get One Way Flow Around Post Office Building
Two streets flanking the Federal Building are now one way, with Cherry Street eastbound and Cain Street westbound toward the Morgan County Courthouse. The change extends beyond Ferry Street to Well Street, aimed at improving Post Office traffic flow. The plan, issued jointly by police and the planning commission, adds parking spaces and prioritizes 15 minute limits in the front-row post office area. Nearby, a Huntsville kidnapping hoax prompted warnings until suspects were released. Public works include a Town Creek cleanup and garbage can promotions to curb vermin breeding grounds.
