HAPPY BIRTHDAY
We are having some fall-
like weather in the Dougherty
community area. Of course, it
will be hot once more as soon
as this cool front moves out.
The County bine School
Class Reunion was last Satur-
day. It was a big success with
over one hundred there. I
know they had such a good
time seeing each other once
more.
I was sorry about William
Potts being sick. He is in
Baylor Hospit&l, room 406, in
the Johnson Building. I am
sure he would appreciate a card
or a call.
We have been on vacation
for a couple of weeks. Sure
was glad to be home. We
went to Colorado and New
Mexico. We did quite a lot of
fishing without any luck. I
think we don't know how to
fish for those trout, but it is
fun anvway. We saw some
beautiful country. One day
while sight-seeing, someone
ran over a sage nen and we
stopped and got it. C.F.
cleaned it and we cooked the
thing, and believe it or not it
was really good. Of course, I
don't know now much the fine
would have been if we had
gotten caught.
Kennetn Dodd is in the
Methodist hospital at Dallas
and not feeling very good. I
hope today finds him feeling
better.
Most of the schools started
today and some tomorrow.
Mother has four little great-
grandchildren to start kinder-
garten. Jim Weddle, Katie
Potts, Diane Sparks and Ty-
son Cooke. I am sure it is a
good thing. They want to be
going to tne same school.
Arlene (Wright) Rylant and
Ruby Porter were down a few
days ago to visit Curley Ry-
lant and others. While here,
Ruby visited with mother and
they had such fun talking
about old times and I am go-
ing to tell one of her stories.
Ruby's maiden name was
Partridge and she was about
eight years old when this all
happened. Back then, the mail
route was only on the main
road. Ruby's mother's and
daddy's mailbox was at Uncle
Hugh Dougherty's house. The
Partridge family was expect-
ing some important mail and
they let Ruby walk to Uncle
Hugh's house to get the mail
and she had to walk about two
miles. Aunt Mary and Uncle
Hugh had three daughters.
Aunt Mattie, Winnie and
Gladys. Aunt Winnie was
eight and Aunt Gladys (Boy)
was five. Daugherty Baptist
Church was having a revival
and they had all been going
and it had also come a big
rain. Ruby and Aunt Winnie
decided they would baptize
Aunt Boy in the ditch, but
they let her loose in the water
ana when they got her out she
was all muddy. Aunt Mary
and Uncle Hugn were working
in the field so they decided to
take her down to Mama Ida's
and Daddy Henry's house to
wash her clothes and clean her
up without anyone knowing
it. Mama Ida had caught two
tubs of rainwater and they
washed her clothes in the wa-
ter. Mama Ida caught them
and they all started running
home with Aunt Boy naked!
Their plans were to wash and
dry the clothes and let them
dry while all the grown-ups
were working in the field.
Have a good week.
