| "Thanks for your this very informative website. I live in Alexandria, VA and have been searching for a Sevier County site to keep me informed on my home news." |
| "I want to thank you for having this website. My sister and brother live far away now, but they can keep in touch with things from home with your website. Keep up the good work and God bless you all." |
| "Just wanted to let you know how great it is to be able to access the news daily instead of weekly. You all are doing a great job!" |
| "Just happened to stumble across the Obituary listing on your web site and wanted to let you know it is really appreciated. Many of us who have long since left De Queen are still interested in our friends we left behind. Since your local paper's web site went south, there was no way to do it. Thank you for picking up the slack on that and all the other news you publish. Wish we could get the Country Breakfast Crew in San Antonio!!!" |

Thank you so much for putting the picture of my first grandbaby and the announcement on your web site. I had seen the wedding announcements and hoped you would. I love this web site. I have not bought a newspaper in a LONG time! Again, thank you!!! |
Hi!!! I'd like to thank you for this page because I am in Afghanistan working (army contractor). With the news I read here, I feel closer to home THANK YOU!! |

| "I am so VERY pleased with your new web site. This is what it's about, knowing your town's news and happenings...not that the rest of the world isn't important, but you can get that on TV. This is what we need. I love it! Keep it up!" |
| "As a resident of Sevier County, I would just like to thank you for the wonderful job that you are doing. As a person who works out of the country half of his life (currently in Ashdod, Israel), you are the only link for local up to date news that I have. I especially love being able to tell my wife something that happened before she even hears about it living at home." |
| "Thanks for the Web site....I was born in De Queen and graduated there. My dad was a barber for 50 years. Sure is nice to read what is going on in De Queen." |
| "The Southwest Arkansas Daily is a great way to feel connected to the community. I live in Little Rock now but I still have family in the De Queen/Wickes area. It's nice to read about current events and even check the local weather. Keep up the great work." |
| "I was born in De Queen in 1937. Have not lived in the area for a long time due to 20 years in the Navy and 32 years of living in Maine. In October 2005 moved to Clovis, NM. Have family still in the area and use your web site daily. It was a good site, but is even better now. Thank you so much for allowing people from away to access your web site. It brings "home" to a lot of people." |
| "I'm
very happy that you all have this website since we
don't have a daily newspaper. I'm Hispanic and every time I read the news, I usually tell my
friends what's going on. It would be nice if we could
have a Spanish website where someone that doesn't
speak English could go in and read it so they can know what's going on in our county and what to watch
out for. Congratulations for this website and keeping us informed with the news." |
| "The website is like the newspaper, only better (Not to mention not having to buy the paper). I can see the lunch menu for my kid's school as well as the calendar. If I miss the news all I have to do is visit the website. It's great to have this. Thank you!!!!!!(P.S. the trophy room is neat, too)" |
| "I would like to thank you for this web site. I hated it when our paper went to once a week but I still bought it just to get the full story on the news. I have not bought a De Queen newspaper since hearing about this web site. THANK YOU!!!!" |
