As the year 2000 begins the Southeast Missourian is taking readers on a stroll through the final century of the second millennium. It does not pretend to be a comprehensive review of such a momentous century, but an eclectic selection of the important, the bizarre, the silly and the solemn. This series will replace our special feature pages for the next 20 days.
