Monday has rolled around
and we have all been busy
cleaning house and getting
ready to go to Tyler.
Hazel and Chris spent the
night and they are taking us out
to eat today.
We all went down to the
farm and walked around and
saw where they used to live
when babies, then on to Tyler.
We went for a nice drive, and
in no hurry.
We had a nice dinner and
came back by Frances Home’s
house and saw part of her fami-
ly. Janet, her daughter and her
husband were there. Also,
Murrey Means and his wife.
Carolyn, Frances’s grand-
daughter. had already gone
back to Austin. We had a nice
visit with all of them.
Chris and Hazel went back
to Dallas that night.
We went to Tyler Tuesday
to see our doctor. Got home
and went to prayer time at the
church with our group of
ladies.
Artemus has gone today to
check on Lloyd Hopkins and
Elwood Brown. They have not
been doing too well. Elwood is
in the Quitman hospital. Lloyd
was going back to the hospital
in Louisiana. Hope he will get
some help this time. He is hav-
ing back troubles.
Clyde Anderson came today
to spend a couple of days with
us. He had lunch with Frances
and Pat before he came up to-
day. They are on the farm for a
few days.
Odell Hargrove came over
Wednesday for a visit with us.
She brought us some banana
bread that sure was good. I
hope to bake some soon. It was
sure good.
Lucy Magee has her family
all home this week. They have
been there two or three days.
Keith Miller. Norman Ram-
sey and some more from
Emory all went to West Texas
bird hunting this weekend. I
haven’t had a report from
them. I don’t know how well
they did.
Well, we finally got out and
planted a fall garden. We had a
nice rain. I hope it will come
up. We will plant some more
tomorrow. We went out and
got some more seed to plant.
We were over to visit with
Elwood Blown Friday. He was
feeling better. It sure did look
like rain was going to come
down on us.
We went on to Mineoia and
got a few things for the house.
Our prayer concerns this
week are for Leaton Ely, Dian-
na Wolfe, Raymond Spence’s
family, Joel Cameron, Elwood
and Grace Brown, Louise and
Lloyd Hopkins, Maudie
Franklin, Bobbie Thomason,

We had our birthday supper
at the church last night,
September 3rd. There were
about 30 came out to fellow-
ship.
We had one baptism at our
church today. She was Carla
Thomason. We had some spe-
cial singing by Mrs. Bridges
family and friend.
It has been a good day, very
quiet around here. We have
rested all afternoon.
Mrs. Maudie Franklin took
dinner with Ray and Linda
Franklin Sunday.
Mr. and Mrs. Ray Franklin
and Mr. and Mrs. Richard
Campbell and their daughter,
Amanda Campbell, visited
with Maudie Saturday. Viola
Gordon visited her that day
also.
Annie Franklin and Judy
Kelley visited Maudie Friday
afternoon.
Well, it is bed time and I am
ready for some more rest.
Life is full of sunshine and
skies are blue and fair, so just
keep looking up and know who
is there.
Visit the lonely this week
and just keep on smiling and
forgiving each other. You will
have a good week. Pray daily.
God bless all.
See you again soon.

1 guess our rain is gone. It
looks so pretty outside, and the
grass looks so pretty, but it will
not stay that way very long, for
winter will be here before
long. I don’t believe I have
ever seen so many grasshop-
pers and the cats eat them like
they are good.
We went to Mr. and Mrs.
Buford Tanton’s fiftieth wed-
ding anniversary. Loretta
Snowden and one of her little
granddaughters and Winona
Risner from Dallas, came to
my house and we all went to-
gether. It was really nice. I saw
Dan Hinton from Quitman;
was glad to see him.
We had real good services
over the weekend. Brother and
Sister Ishmael went on a little
vacation and will be back to-
day. Brother David Holt
preached for us. He did a good
job and also some good singing
too. Sister Pam Robbins sang
some pretty songs, and Brother
Simmons too.
We went out in the garden to
pick peas, and couldn’t hardly
pick them for the fire ants.
They were so bad. I have never
seen them so bad. I have yel-
low blisters on me this morn-
ing. You better watch your-
selvt
selves and your little ones too,
for they sure do hurt. I am go-
ing to dust the peas and the
okra too, before I pick any-
more.
Mr. and Mrs. Nils Blanton
were in church Sunday, and
Juneli looked a lot better.
Jack Simons little grandbaby
hy
is doing a lot better, but is still
needing your prayers.
Brother Charles Nix is doing
better, but keep praying for
hiim. Sister Flossie Northcutt
is also better. Sister Lorene
Barker's face was all swollen
up Sunday, and she was not
abli
able to come to church.
Sister Velma Fletcher is do-
ing better. I went to see Grover
and Dorthy, and he is doing
about the same.

Mrs. K.H. Conner, Point,
was a visitor here Tuesday.

Paul Wilds was a visitor in
the Leader office Tuesday and
renewed his subscription to the
Rains County Leader.
The class of 1969 began ar-
riving around 3 p.m., on
August 27th. at Thousand
Trails, to celebrate our 25th
reunion. It did not matter if we
had not seen each other in 20
or 25 years, or if it was only
last week. It was great to sit
around and catch up on ev-
eryone’s life.
A very special moment was
when we joined hands in a very
large circle before we enjoyed
our meal of barbecued brisket
and lots of trimmings, and
Claudie Kennimer voiced our
prayer. Johnny and Cathy
Daniel prepared the delicious
brisket.
We were very thankful to
have Russell Gowin with us
this time. At our 20th, he was
very ill in the hospital awaiting
a liver transplant. It is good to
see him doing so well!
After getting our stomachs
full we settled down to some
really serious talking. One top-
ic that always comes up is the
Freshman hay ride. After that
night, hayrides were banned-
from Rains High School. To
quote Mr. Rice, “There has
never been a hay ride like this,
and there will never be
another.” All of these years
(28 or 29) most of us thought
we knew who had taken the
soft drinks that night. Thanks
to some help from Mrs. Mills,
we figured out we had the in-
itials reversed. Instead of being
S.D., it was D.S. We are so
sorry, Sonny, that we have
blamed you all of these years.
The teachers had indicated
over the years that they thought
some of us were backwards,
but we thought it was because a
few of us like to eat dessert
first.
It has been a tradition every
reunion to get Claudie to sing
for us. This year he was more
reluctant than ever, so Fred
joined him, much to the delight
of everyone. It was reminisced
in Jr. High, that they were
known as Fred and Barney.
Only class members are list-
ed here for fear of not remem-
bering family member’s
names. If you were not there,
you were certainly missed. In
order to have 100% attendance
at our next reunion, we are
considering a hay ride.
Mrs. Griffin was unable to
attend, but she sent a letter
which in part read, “I would
love so much to see everyone. I
have gone over and over the
names in the invitation. That
was a good class - well, most
of you were good! Some of you
