Rain is the happy note in our
theme this week. On the niRht
of November 4 I could hear it
gently dripping from the house.
Wednesday morning the rain
guage registered .5 inch. Sun-
day it poured. The guage said
1.5 inches. The creek got up
about four feet, and was still
running Monday.
The peanut thresher moved
into Charlie Grifiln’s field last
week. Charlie decided some of
his peanuts would do to thresh.
He found ^!r. Collier of Gold-
thwaite with ’ a thresher that
picks up the peanuts from the
windrow, eliminating most of
the hands usually required for
threshing. There is also a baler
to bale the peanuts not fit to
be threshed.
Eugene Egger and Hubert
Reeves will not start up their
threshers this year, but will
avail themselves of Mr. Collier’s
new type Thresher to gather
their peanuts. Cecil Egger and
Clayton Egger will follow suit.
We could see autumn on the
hills as we went to town Friday.
The sumachs were ablaze. The
Clementine chrysanthemums
have defied the drouth, and are
more numerous than usual.
We see them blooming In abund-
ance along the rocky roadsides.
There is a lavender-blue
fringed aster now hanging their
blooms over the water’s edge at
our creek crossing. We first dis-
covered these flowers when my
Sister Nell (then cf Ballinger),
the late Mrs Nellie Malone,
well-known to this community,
was making her first visit here
in October, 1894 We children
had to get out of the buggy and
get our laps full of the lovely
flowers. That night we played
wedding. Clara Majone was the
bride. Jim Wilmeth was the
groom. My sister, Edna, and my
niece, Nell Millar, were the
flower girls. I performed the
ceremony by saying, "Up the hill
and down the hollow; Kiss your
wife and give me.a dollar." Still
today, right in the same place,
those same flowers are hanging
their blooms over the water’s
edge.
We are happy over the way
things seem to be going since
the election. If only Fulton
Lewis, Jr., and Morgan Beaty
could let those little recording
machines alone and auit trying
to bt.ng up nau'hty things said
in the election. I wonder If they
know nothing of forgetting and
forgiving.
We met up with Mr. and Mrs.
P. R R”id In Brownwood Fri-
day. It is always good to meet
I up with P. R. and Vada. For
many years they were heart and
soul of Ebony; they kept out-
store and Post Office. And there
was never any two who did a
Setter job than they. In those
days the country was full of
people We all had phones, and
we were always using them to
find out things from P. R and
Vada. Then the mall came from
Brownwood via Indian Creek
and from Mullin via Regency.
The mail cars met at Ebony.
,Mrs. Adams, daughter of the
lute Doug Woods How our mem-
ories raced back to the time
when Elkins teepied with young
vas the largest and most prom-
inent one there. A plate with
punch, mints, and iced angel
food squares was served to each
Now we have to have Mullin for
our Pest Office, and it takes
two days, and sometimes longer,
to get a letter to Goldthwaite
or to Brownwood,
I had a birthday last week.
Mrs. Lee Meek of Brownwood
and I have the same birthday.
As we were going to town that
day (Friday), I asked of John
that we go by and see her. I
sent her a birthday card and
wrote her to that effect. John
and I had both known and loved
Viola when she was a child. And
Lee was my tall, handsome
pupil when I taught my first
school ■ at Lane's Chapel. For
more than six years Viola, a
victim of paralysis, has not
walked a step nor spoken a
word. Yet by means of gestures
and facial expressions she is
able to communicate with her
loved ones, and she is a very
happy little person. She has
a pretty home, a devoted hus-
band, and a trained nurse to
take care of her and her home.
I did not know I was Inviting
myself to a birthday party, but
that was just It. When we got
there the house and yard were
full of friends showering her
with gifts. I took flowers, but
she had scads of them. Almost
as soon as I got in the house
that dear Lee handed me a
lovely gift of sachet powder for
my birthday. We saw old
friends: Aubrey Lyon (half
brother to Viola), long ago of
Indian Creek; Gusste and Tom
Beaird, old Kansas friends; and
folk. The Doug Woods family guest. It was a lovely party.
