David, Not too familiar with lamar county, but L.Q.C. Lamar was quite a important person in Miss. history. While he was an ardent Secessionist, an unrepentant Democrat, and had no good feeling about the reconstruction the South went through, he was both a U.S. congressman and Senator from Miss. And Grover Cleveland, the only democratic president elected between 1860 and 1912, appointed Lamar Sec. of the interior and later to the U.S. Supreme Court. And had Lamar been alive today he would be a fanatical Ole Miss fan!
