Fellow Flatlander: Peyton Yeoman























Always the entertainer, Peyton Yeoman smiles with guitar pick in hand and the arm of a faceless female on his shoulder at a late-night party at the home of Ryan Robertson on historic High Street.

Peyton Gregg Yeoman was born on May 12, 1979 to James and Dale Yeoman. A jack-of-all-trades, Peyton is a server at Giardina's, is a salesperson at Delta Cellar and is a Landscape Designer for various celebrities across the Delta. Peyton has lived in Greenwood all his life, a grand total of 27 years. Peyton is also the local talent at many a late-night party and is not afraid to break into a chorus of song and dance at the slightest hint or suggestion.

A 1998 graduate of Carroll Academy, Peyton attends Delta State University and is working toward a Bachelor of Business Administration. Peyton has one brother, Patrick, who is married to Dawn. Together, they have one son, William Trager Yeoman, who loves his Uncle Peyton. Peyton was recently featured in the Greenwood Commonwealth's "Just Ask Your Neighbor" segment, where he proudly reported his favorite website to be The Delta Dirt. Thanks for the shameless plug, Peyton!

It is unfortunate that I no longer consider myself in tune with life in the Delta and can no longer comment as such. My free time (what little of it I have) has also been dedicated to following both the presidential election and American Idol like a hawk.

Editorial: As Predicted, McCain Falls in the Polls

This two-minute campaign ad clearly states Barack Obama's plan to reenergize our economy. Thank God someone is addressing this issue.

"My prediction: By the end of the week, McCain's stance on the economy will cause his Palin bump in the polls to all but disappear." According to Real Clear Politics , "one of America’s premier independent political web sites," my prediction came true.

The Palin bump that McCain joined is now completely gone. This reversal of fortune is due, in part, to Obama's strength on the issue of the economy and the popularity of his e...
