The bean supper for veterans and widows of veterans is today at Pontotoc Community Center at 11:00. The city will set off the warning sirens at 11:11 because on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, an armistice, or temporary cessation of hostilities, was declared between the Allied nations and Germany in the First World War, then known as “the Great War.”
