Today's edition of Throwback Thursday is the result of browsing around old issues of the Clarion-Ledger. Posted below are some of the more interesting ads and items gleaned from jumping around the archives at random. Enjoy.

Wow KF. Those are amazing. Are you sure the Ross Barnett advertisement isn’t Philbilly or Tater Tot’s? It sounds JUST like the real version of their platforms. It’s amazing his time changes people all over this planet. Yet, MS stays stuck in the ways of the past. It just doesn’t make sense to me.
. .hmm i wonder in that jeff davis little league baseball picture .. if that is coach rustye windham from the late '70s & '80s basbeall coach / jackson provine ?? dave b

7:14,
In the words of Bill Clinton, no???
Amazing how close Walker's looks to the original building.
I guess the drive-in is now Walker's?
What did Barnett mean by "Let's return state government to the people". Who had it at the time?
Most interesting even if a lot of the ads are from before my time. Never knew Walker's wasn't always Walker's. Mrs. Walker was a 5th grade teacher at Watkins, where I went, and I know it was her and her husband's place way back into the 60's at least, so I wonder when it changed ownership from Mr. Ackle to the Walkers? I guess the Billups station refered to next door would have been to the north? It'd be hard to grow up in the part of the state without knowing maybe more than you wished about all three of the men in the political ads, but I enjoyed bumping into Bill Waller at JA football games and in the I-55 Kroger in the later years of his life. He always lit up when I called him Governor.
How long before someone calls for removing Barnett's name from the reservoir? Or has that already happened, and I missed it?
That would be Ross Barnett (D)

It has already happened and I'm sure it remains on The List of names that must be changed and monuments that must be taken down.
@12:56 - Please, PLEASE provide at least one scintilla of evidence for your ridiculous opinion. Your belief that the rest of the world is absent the predjudice that ONCE (as in "then, but not now) existed in Mississippi is nothing short of a fairy-tale. The main difference between US and THEM is that WE acknowledged our mistake and made actual effort to change. The rest of the world....not so much. In addition, it would serve you well to understand and accept the fact that distaste for certain behaviors is not rooted in RACE but in CHARACTER. And it is a perfectly NORMAL human response. I'm assuming (though I may be wrong) that you disapprove of hateful, prejudicial behavior of one race against another. Therefore, I'm assuming that you would prefer to avoid having association with people who behave in such a manner. Am I right? So, why can't I prefer to avoid association with people - whatEVER their race - who's preferred for of expression is the F-word every 6 seconds...who can't go into ANY public place without being overly loud and disruptive in total disrespect for everybody else. Why can't I prefer to avoid exposing my children to the loud, crude unmarried, never-married women who is dragging 3 or 4 pre-school children through Walmart while being 7 months pregnant and and carrying a baby on her hip? Why is it only YOU who is entitled to these constitutionally protected rights as association. Why is it there everyone ELSE is just being "racist"????
@ 4/6-11:59
Tell us how you really feel. Sounds like you have friends of all races, creeds, and colors since you don't associate with the types that you describe.
Yes! Let's rename it Trump Reservoir!
I remember going to Seale-Lily on Sunday afternoons with my fami6. I miss the Orange Freeze!
Zachery Scott's best role was in 1945 Mildred Pierce with Joan Crawford...he played the best heel ever
