Allen Furniture in Heber Springs has been in business for more than 59 years and is widely believed to be the oldest retail store in town. Greg and Candyce Allen are continuing the practice of selling quality furniture and delivering personal customer service - a business philosophy that was handed down from Greg’s father, Max, who owned the store for 27 years. Allen Furniture carries the more-popular name brands in furniture, including La- Z-Boy, Ashley and Sleeptronic. The store strives to maintain the family-business model. Greg has been around the furniture business since he was 5. The Allens now have 11-year-old twins, Kenneth and Chloe, and want to continue the family tradition. “It’s the perfect atmosphere for a family,” Candyce said. “We have the kids there, and my husband and I work together. There’s not a day that you walk in and don’t see our kids playing house, playing soccer. Our kids are just a regular fixture in the store.”

MEET
YOUR NEIGHBOR
Chasta Harrison
of Quitman
DEPUTY WITH THE CLEBURNE COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE
HOW LONG HAVE YOU LIVED IN QUITMAN?
26 years
WHY DID YOU DECIDE TO
GET INTO LAW ENFORCEMENT?
I worked as a summer park ranger for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, but I wanted to do more. I rode around with another deputy for months and decided that was the job for me. My dad was a city cop for Stuttgart when I was younger, so I have decided that law enforcement is in my blood. I followed in my dad’s footsteps by attending the Arkansas Law Enforcement Training Academy at Camden and becoming C Squad leader just like he did.
WHY IS THE SHERIFF’S OFFICE IMPORTANT TO THE COUNTY?
The motto is “To protect and serve.” When you think about the sheriff ’s department, you obviously think about protection, but serving is a huge part of it as well.
WHAT DO YOU ENJOY MOST ABOUT YOUR JOB?
I love helping people and trying to solve their problems to the best of my ability. I also enjoy serving as a role model for future female deputies.
WHAT MAKES QUITMAN A GREAT PLACE TO CALL HOME?
This area is a great place to raise a family. Our community is full of helpful and caring people.
WHAT IS YOUR DREAM VACATION, AND WHY?
I want to go see the wild mustangs out west because I love horses, but I would also like to go to the redwood forest and marvel in its beauty.
