MELODY HUFFMAN and Mat-

ion in Fort Worth for Melody's family.
Monty joined them and they attended a
Huffman family reunion later at Lake
Bridgeport.
Monty Huffman has been doing some
unusual ’’babysitting’’ for a friend. He
has been keeping a young Boa Constric-
tor. The Boa Constrictor lived in a pil-
low case while Monty built his cage.
Melody says that the Boa Constrictor
has never escaped his cage and that he
doesn't eat much. When he does eat it is
live mice.

WELCOME HOME MISSION-
ARIES!.....it was an inspiring experi-
ence to hear two Tulia missionaries
speak in our church Sunday
morning..Juanelva Rose from Taiwan
and Keith Lindley from Guatemala.
All of us can certainly be proud of
these two dedicated Christians...and
many more who have come from this
community.
The Lord bless Keith and Juanelva in
their missions.
IF YOU'RE NOT METHODIST. .
.you may want to turn me off at this
point!
I enjoyed the privilege of knowing
three Methodist Bishops on a very per-
sonal basis. . .Bishop William C. Mar-
tin, who attended our wedding, Alsie
Carlton of Floydada and Dan Solomon
of Tulia.
It just occurred to me that Dan and
Alsie have some things in common. .
.both pretty young when selected. . .
.Alsie 58 and Dan 52. Alsie served 12
years and Dan will serve 16 years.
Dan is close to the youngest ever
elected.. .probably California's Bishop
Kennedy was the youngest.. .made it in
his forty's.
Dan and Alsie were both reared
(raised) in country towns____Alsie on a
farm near Dougherty (that's out east of
Floydada, near the Caprock).
I almost had a fantastic story.. .they
were bom about 20 miles apart. It didn't
turn out that good, after I visited with
AJsie by phone Tuesday morning.
Dan was bom at Matador, Alsie grew
up at Dougherty. I was hoping Alsie was
bom at Dougherty. . . .no such luck,
somewhere in central Texas.
A few years ago we staged an "Alsie
Carlton Day” in Floydada and Alsie
spoke at the Chamber of Commerce
banquet that night Might do something
like that for Dan here sometime.
Dan's parents knew Alsie when he
was growing up over at Floydada.
Alsie had the honor (and the honor
goes both ways) to escort Dan and his
wife to the front of the Jurisdictional
conference last week when Dan was
elected.
DID YOU KNOW THAT HALF
THE FOODS EATEN throughout the
world today were developed by farmers
in the Andes Mountains? Potatoes,
maize, sweet potatoes, squash, all varie-
ties of beans, peanuts, manioc, cashews,
pineapples, chocolate, avocados, toma-
toes, peppers, papayas, strawberries,
mulberries, and other toods were first
grown in this region.
IF THE PACKAGES OF CIGA-
RETTES smoked by Americans each
year were laid end to end, they would
circle the earth twenty-one times.

Happy Rodeo Contestants Win At Dumas
Happy Tri State Rodeo Club had
three finalists in this year's final rodeo
held last month in Dumas. These were
Jobeth Thompson, Troy Johnson and
Trent Johnson.
Jobeth Thompson, daughter of Tuffy
and Judy Thompson, and granddaughter
of Acie Del Boyd, competed in the Pole
Bending and Breakaway Roping.
Jobeth finished second in Breakaway
Roping in the first go-round, second in
the third go and second in the average.
Jobeth missed winning a saddle by only
.01 of a second. Jobeth did win a trophy
buckle and prize money.
Jobeth will enter Vernon Regional
Junior College this fall on a rodeo schol-
arship. She is also the recipient of three
Memorial Scholarships from Happy,
Weldon Tucek, Wendell Simsand Dean
King.
Jobeth was Rodeo Queen of the
Happy Tri State Rodeo High School
Club during the past year. She was also
Homecoming Queen, Campus Favorite
and Flame Queen.
Jobeth also competed in the Texas
High School State Rodeo Finals in
Sequin in Barrel Racing and Breakaway
Roping. She made the short-go of the
finals rodeo and finished seventh for the
year.
T roy and Trent are the sons of Joe and
Jeanette Johnson of Nazareth and the
grandsons of Arch and Burnett Johnson
of Happy. Because Nazareth does not
have a Tri State Rodeo Club, Troy and
Trent competed on the Happy Team.
This practice is permissable in Tri State
competition.
Troy won the Tri Slate Finals in Calf
Roping and second in the average of the
Ribbon Roping. He won third in the
Year Average in both events. Troy was
presented four buckles at the Tri State
Banquet. His fastest calf roping time is
9.4 seconds.
Troy will attend Frank Phillips Col-
lege in Borger this fall on a rodeo schol-
arship. A 1988 graduate of Nazareth
High School Troy ranked tenth in a class
of24. He served as Vice President ofhis
FFA Chapter this past year. Troy also
won Star Chapter Farmer, Lone Star
Fanner and Outstanding Officer. He
competed for the Beef Proficiency
Award at the State FFA Convention in
Ft. Worth last week. Troy earned the
steer showmanship award at the Junior
Livestock Show and won the Reserve
Grand Champion Lamb. He is a member
of the CYOof the Holy Family Catholic
Church.
Troy competed in the Texas State
High School Rodeo Finals in Sequin and
won 7th in the state in calf roping. He
participated in the Smith Brothers Jun-
ior World Championship Calf Roping in
Denton last week. There, Troy won 4th
in the First go and 4th in the average in
the first day’s roping.
Trent has just finished his Junior year
in Nazareth High. He qualified to com-
pete in finals competition in Ribbon
Roping at the Tri State High School
Rodeo Finals in Dumas and the calf
roping at the Texas High School Rodeo
finals in Sequin.
Trent will serve as the President ofhis
FFA chapter this fall. He attended the
State FFA Convention last week. Trent
won the Lamb Showmanship at the
Junior Livestock Show last year. He has
been Class Favorite, and a member of
the CYO. He looks forward to another
year of high school competition.
