Ellington's exit
 After 24 years of serving in the state House of Representatives and the Senate, Noble Ellington will no longer be in the Louisiana Legislature a — a loss for Franklin Parish.
It's often hard for poorer, rural sections of Louisiana to have their voices heard in Baton Rouge, but Noble has done his constituents proud.
As I write this at The Franklin Sun, I don't have to go far to find Noble's footprint in his hometown.
Across the street is the Old Post Office Museum, from which I could almost thrown a stone and hit the Princess Theatre.
Noble had a hand in bringing both of these Winnsboro historic buildings back to life.
If I walk north a block, I will see the Franklin Parish Council on Aging.
Another stone-throw is the Jack Hammons Community Center, where the city council meeting that I just attended was held.
These last two buildings would most likely not exist if not for Noble. |
