DAISY — Mayor Junior Brown and his “first lady” remain willing to go up against the U.S. Postal Service to protect what they see as a bastion of their town’s identity. Daisy, population 129 according to the 2010 U.S. Census or 137 by the mayor’s count, has only one private business, an auto body shop. Founded in 1890 as a railroad depot, Daisy preserves a caboose in a little park beside the tracks, but trains no longer stop here.
