VETERANS' DAY IN HOGANSVILLE - American Legion Post 152 Chaplain George
West Point Woman, 75, Last Seen Friday
By JACK BAGLEY
Troup County Sheriff's Deputies along
with West Point Police are searching for an
elderly woman who has been missing for
almost a week.
Carol Evans, 75, of Lower Lovelace Road
in West Point, reportedly left her home around
2 p.m. on Friday, November 10, when her hus-
band went outside to mow the grass. When
her husband came back into the home, she
was no longer there.
Sgt. Stewart Smith of the Troup County
Sheriff's Department said Evans suffers from
an "altered mental state."
"We believe she left the house on foot and
got disoriented and was not able to make it
back to the house," Smith said.
Deputies and Police have been conduct-
ing ground searches of the area since Friday
evening. At first, K-9 units were employed
in the search effort, along with drones from
local law enforcement agencies and a Georgia
State Patrol helicopter.
That ground search continued through
last weekend. Earlier this week, Smith said,
Deputies scaled back the ground search to

In it's first year provid-
ing a full-time Drama
Program, Callaway High
School has pulled off what
may seem like the impossi-
ble. With only a few weeks,
no auditorium to practice in,
and a small cast of mostly
new actors- Callaway Drama
became Region Champions
at the GHSA One Act Play
Festival last weekend.
The school traveled to
Barnesville, GA on October
20th to compete against three
other schools in the region.
According to GHSA rules, a
show must be set up, the
entire play performed, and
everything moved offstage
within a 55-minute window.

only Region Champions, but
also came home with a Best
