Sometimes “Big Stories” are important; but sometimes it’s the “little things” that mean the most.

MLive’s “Lost Pet” posts continue to be the reason dozens of pets find their owners within hours of being posted on MLive.

Just email a photo, a “last seen near…”, and a phone number to joe@MonticelloLive.com, if your pet wanders away.

Monticello native Patricia (Ferrell) Mays has announced that she will be a candidate for the Arkansas House of Representatives District 10 in the 2014 general election on the Republican ticket.

I believe that our representatives should be aware of the current issues, gather all the relevant facts, solicit input from all of their constituents then make the best decision that they can based on the available information,” Mays said.
