Weep no more, Teddy Allen devotees.  Because of the cost of running his weekly, tongue-in-cheek column are higher than the Winn Parish Journal could justify for the limited  number of his readers, the Journal discontinued him effective November.

But as NC State basketball coach Jimmy Valvano said, “Don’t give up.  Don’t ever give up.”  Though Teddy’s readership was light (about 1% of the Journal’s total visitors), they were dedicated and enjoyed Teddy.

So here’s the good news. Several of Winn’s sister Journals continue to run Teddy Allen and those interested can read him there.  The closest may be the Lincoln Parish Journal.  To get Lincoln for free just as you get Winn for free, simply Google: Lincoln Parish Journal.  When you reach their front page, click the “Join” button at the top.  You’ll land on another page that will simply ask for your email and your name.  The Lincoln Parish Journal will begin arriving regularly at that email address.  For free.
