People who've ridden through downtown Cochran the past couple of days may've noticed the Bible Reading Marathon was no longer taking place on the courthouse square. That's because it was moved to the city auditorium. BRM Facilitator Jerri Tuck said in an email they had to move because of the Jim Edward Lowery murder trial which was moved to Cochran from Montgomery County.

Closing ceremonies will be tomorrow at 11:30 am inside the auditorium.
