In the April 12, 1900, edition of The Democratic Herald, published in Charleston, is a Page 1 story about “The Tallahatchie Bill,” a law soon dividing the county into two judicial districts, as passed by the Mississippi Legislature.
The law designated the establishment of two circuit and chancery court districts for the county — to be called the First and Second districts — thus creating the dual county seats we have today.
At the time, Charleston (population 480) was the only county seat for Tallahatchie's 19,600 residents and 651 square miles of territory.

Friends of Ginny Toole Sosebee are so saddened to hear about the sudden death of her husband, Richard, last week. Ginny grew up in Oakland, the daughter of Martha Magee Toole and Terry Toole, and after college and living in Atlanta moved back to Oakland with her husband Richard. He was a contractor and she opened the cutest antique shop downtown and hosted tea parties and became the center of downtown. Their son, Andrew, was born while they lived in Oakland.

You couldn’t tell from the outside.
But when the huge tree fell on Gary’s tractor, Drew’s truck, the chicken yard fence and two chicken houses with enclosures inside the fencing — it was obvious.
The tree that fell had long ago split and had grown up with a two-pronged trunk, thick and seemingly strong. That tree stood through many storms, heavy rains, ice and probably lots of high winds. There didn’t seem to be any danger in it falling.
