Petticoat
Patter
By Mrs. E. A. Strickland
A beautiful floral arrangement was presented to the WSCS at
its Feb. 18 meeting by Mrs. Valerie Gallaway. She made the
arrangement from spring flowers from her yard and presented
it in memory of the late Chaplain Claude Harkey, who was a
member of the local church and a friend of the WSCS members.
A note was attached which
explained the five colors used
as applied to his life:
Yellow for "The Golden
Rule."
White for "Purity."
Blue for "Loyalty and
Faithfulness."
Red for "Our Father's Pre-
cious Blood Shed for Us."
And green for "Everlasting
Life."
At the close of the meeting
the flowers were carried to
the cemetery and placed on
the grave of the late Rev.
Melugin, Methodist minister
who died while serving the
church in 1903. He is the only
Methodist minister buried at
Naples.
After her father's death,
Miss Sadie Melugin remained

Naples, Texas
here to teach school and
boarded with the Story family
for two years. She has since
visited here one time.
Then, as quite often hap-
pens with old friends, we lost
trace of her.
A couple of weeks ago, Mrs.
Lon Thigpen was visiting her
daughter, Mrs. Jimmy Saun-
ders, at McAllen, Texas.
Their neighbor, a Mrs. La-
tham, saw Mrs. Thigpen in the
yard one afternoon and in-
vited her over to pick oranges
from her tree.
After their introduction and
during a conversation, Mrs.
Thigpen learned who Mrs.
Latham was.
She was the former Miss
Sadie Melugin, who had lived
at Naples around 1900.
1 am sure that the friends
of the family will be glad to
know that they have been
heard from. And isn't it a
small world after all?
