Love your new on-line format and appreciate your coverage of the closing of Glenn-Martin Drugstore. What a loss to the community! I have fond childhood memories of visiting the soda fountian for a coke. I also remember that on Saturdays the downtown area was alive with farmers who came in to buy their weekly supplies. The bench in front of the drugstore was a favorite gathering spot for these hardworking farmers to wile away the time while their wives shopped at Progressives and Whites. Keep up the small town reporting you do so well! John Carrere Bayboro, NC

Really like the new web site and e-edition. You're on the cutting edge. Your readers and advertisers should appreciate the effort you bring to delivering the best in local news and advertising. Great job!

I like this website better now that it has a place to upload pictures and comments. Good work!

I think you should follow the Messenger format more. Your paper covers more on Princeton and other places and things outside of Mt. Olive, that make no difference to the community of Mt. Olive. All this paper is is a bunch of advertisement!

I thoroughly enjoy your on line edition, particularly the 50 Year Old Attic section. I grew up in Mt. Olive and am at the age where the 50 year old information is becoming relevant. Keep up the good work. Thank you, Gray

Thank you Tribune for your coverage of the Duplin BOE. I was at the meeting Monday night (Feb 1) and your reporting covered what really went on. Don't stop! Dig deeper!

on numerous occassions, i have called John Cate and ask to get a few articles covered in the Tribune and he doesn't seem to care. He isn't from Mount olive and he certainly doesn't give the impression that he cares. Our mount olive readers want local news and apparently, he doesn't make an effort to be a part of mount olive and that hurts the Tribune. Barry, you do contribute local information and thats what mount olive people wants. If you run a local photo, name the people in the photo, that is important to the ones in the photo. I know it takes time to get the names, but, its needed.The Mount Olive Messenger has local news stories and thats what your mount olive readers want. After being employed for 31 years at the Mount Olive Tribune, i see things that are newsworthy and John Cate isn't making the time to do the stories.Thank you, Barry Merrill, Publisher.

Do you think that you will ever post archives from your early days? Those of us who don't live in North Carolina and are looking for old family info would love to have access to these old stories and advertisements.

What do we need to do to get the ball rolling on getting the old Tribunes on microfilm? The Wayne County Public library only has two reels from the 1950's. I would gladly donate my time to raising money for this endeavor, if need be. We need to have the complete run of the Tribune accessible to future generations. Its like a complete history of the town of Mt. Olive!

I visited the Mt. Olive museum today over on Main St. and found it to be very nicely done. Speaking with the gentleman that tends the museum made me realize that I'm not the only one who is concerned about getting the Mt. Olive Tribune on microfilm. Until the physical bound copies of this newspaper are committed to microfilm, the history of an entire town is vunerable to fire, or any other natural disaster that may occur. These old newspapers must be put to microfilm so that future generations can enjoy the Tribune and the town's historic legacy.

This is the first time that I have glanced at the online edition. I no longer live in the area as I married a local girl and we left town about 35 years ago. We visit occasionally to see family that still live in the area and was amazed that in the past 40 years, Mount Olive's population has changed very little, although the town itself has changed dramatically.

 
Quick Poll
An elderly Duplin County woman was raped recently. Does the heinous nature of that crime justify to you bringing back public lynchings?
