Welcome to lamar-times.com, the home of The Lamar Times, a Mississippi-owned weekly newspaper proudly serving the communities of Hattiesburg, Oak Grove, Purvis, Sumrall, Lumberton and the surrounding area with news, sports, features and advertising information of interest and value.

As the only newspaper that covers Lamar County exclusively, we take tremendous pride in our responsibilities to this area. This soon-to-be-updated website will allow us to continue our growth as a newspaper while Lamar County enjoys unprecedented growth. Eventually, this site will also allow former local residents and those with family members still in Lamar County a chance to reconnect with the community on a regular basis.

Please bear with us as we work on creating the best website possible. In the meantime, if you have any questions/concerns, call us at (601) 268-2331. We look forward to hearing from you.
