TIMPSON & TENAHA NEWS. THURSDAY. MARCH 31. 2005. PAGE 3
Thursday, Already! In Tenaha,,
y Voice of Doyce
Birthday greetings this week
to Lisa Milam, Theresa
Latham, Mickey Coleman,
Elwanda Ogden and Travis
Bownds.
The Sunrise Services held by
First Baptist Church were well
attended. Of course the
weather moved the services
into Fellowship Hall. A pancake
breakfast was served prior to
Sunday School. So many fami-
lies were visiting Tenaha for
Easter and came to church with
their loved ones. The FBC
choir presented “The Rose” as
special music. When church
was over, the little ones had an
Easter egg hunt. It was sched-
uled to be on church grounds
but weather forced eggs to be
hunted inside the church. I am
sure this did not bother the
hunters. Saw Stacey Williams’
little son with a basket foil of
eggs. Bet he did not really care
where the hunt was held.
There is BNSF work being
done on the crossing on FR 947
out my way. When I first saw
the work, I thought they were
just putting up signal lights. As
work has continued, it appears
we are going to have cross
bars. Never thought that would
take place but I am so glad.
Most of us that have lived in
the Tennessee Community (or
grew up there) have always
been very cautious about that
crossing. As teenagers started
driving I was concerned for
them as new drivers because
the railroad right-of-way
blocked on coming trains.
Train traffic has certainly in-
creased on those tracks.
Attended the six a.m. ser-
vices at Dock and Fannie
Watson’s on Easter. Services
were held under the carport.
This was the 18 year anniver-
sary and it was commented that
4 of them had been held there
due to weather. Such a good
service as always. Welcome
has been transferred to a grand-
daughter of the Watson’s. She
is a first grade teacher in the
Frisco ISD. There was just
under 100 present and ages ran
from 4 months to 96 years of
age. Bro. Jim Bradley, pastor
of Tenaha Methodist Church
delivered the message and spe-
cial music was provided by a
male student at Panola Junior
College. Congregational music
was led by Joe Fielder with his
wife, Gloria on the piano.
Am told that an article about
King’s Nursery is in the April
issue of Southern Living. If you
do not take the magazine, ask
around as I am sure you can
find someone that does. Jenny

and Sharon Pollard of San Au-
Library Notes
First let us express our appreciation to all who have purchased
tickets and made donations to the annual library banquet. All pro-
ceeds from this banquet go into a special building account that has
been established at Texas State Bank. Our banquet is scheduled for
April 2,2005 at 7:00 p.m., First Baptist Church Family Life Center, so
there is still time to purchase your ticket. Donations to this fond may
be made at any time simply by making your check out to the Timpson
Public Library Building Fund and mail it or take it to the bank. Your
can hear more about this fond at the banquet or in next weeks Library
Notes. Our thanks goes out to all those who have donated books to
the library. However at this time, with one exception, we are no
longer able to accept book donations. The exception is for hard back
books in mint condition and then only after approval by the librarian
of the day. We simply do not have room on our shelves or in our
storage area for more books.
New Books on Review
Title: The Halliburton Agenda : Author:DanBriody
Award-winning journalist and bestselling author Dan Briody cuts
through the veil of secrecy that cloaks this controversial company,
and reveals how the confluence of business and politics has led to
questionable deals as well as financial windfalls for Halliburton, its
executives, and its subsidiaries.
The Halliburton Agenda digs deep to expose:
1. A pattern of cost overages by the company dating as far
back as World War II and extending forward through Viet-
nam, Somalia, and Bosnia
2. How Halliburton has been doing business with terrorist
states such as Libya and Iran for decades-and why the
company continues to do so
3. The questionable legality of the U.S. government’s con-
tracts with Halliburton subsidiary Kellogg Brown & Root,
including LOGCAP—the government’s contract to provide
logistical support to the Army—and the contract for the
work in rebuilding Iraq’s oil infrastructure
4. Why the company paid a $2.4 million bribe to a Nigerian tax
official, acquired $4.4 billion of asbestos liability, and
changed its accounting procedures without notifying its
shareholders—an action that has led to an ongoing SEC
investigation
5. The current allegations against Halliburton for overcharg-
ing the U.S. government for gas in Iraq
Halliburton’s inextricable links to politicians and the United States
Military, its dealings with countries known to sponsor terrorism, and
its controversial $2 billion government contract to rebuild Iraq are
only the tip of the iceberg. The Halliburton Agenda untangles a
complex web of political power plays and deceptive deals—reveal-
ing how a company with the right
connections can finesse its way
to success.
Title: Plan of Attack: Author:
Dale Brown
Dale Brown is the author of
fourteen New York Times
bestsellers, and now in Plan of
Attack he provocatively turns
our attention back to the threat
of a nuclear attack that is beyond
our imaginings.
U.S Air Force aerial warfare ex-
pert Major General Patrick
McLanahan has been demoted
and moved back to a desk job.
But while keeping a keen eye on
what’s going on with old enemies,
he notices that Russia’s heavy
bomber and tactical bomber
bases are busier than
ever.McLanahan tries to get his
superiors to pay attention and is
ignored. McLanahan has col-
lected information that not only
foretold the Russian’s daring
plan, but also gives him the data
he needs to plan a counterstrike
that could stop the Russian war
machine dead in its tracks. But
McLanahan is no longer in
charge of Air Battle Force, his
combat unit of the future, and the
Russian sneak attack has left the
embattled U.S. president with few
options: retaliate with every
weapon in his arsenal, even if it
triggers a global thermonuclear
war, agree to a cease-fire on
Russia’s terms, or listen to a dis-
graced and discredited young
bomber commander’s long-shot
plan of attack. To prevent a de-
structive stalemate, McLanahan
may have to take matters into his
own hands.

gustine brought them a copy
this past Friday.
Had my cousin get together
this weekend. Eighteen of us
had dinner together this past
Friday night and then met at
FBC gym on Saturday morn-
ing. Traveling the furthest was
my sister and husband from St.
Louis as well as Clara Lou
Wagstaff Derrick from Baton
Rouge. This is our third year
to get together in March. As for
my family, our next gathering
will be September 3 as we
gather to celebrate Aunt Thelma
Wagstaff’s 90 birthday.
Have you noticed the new
paint on the Antique Mall.
Randy says the building still
needs trim work. Mark your
calendar for an afternoon auc-
tion on April 24. It will be from
2-4 p.m. on the open space by
the mall. Will be lots of good
bargains. Am sure that more
details will be forthcoming.
At the Tenaha’s
Businessmen’s Club meeting
this past Thursday, 49 meals
were served. County Attorney
Gary Rlioles gave an informa-
tive talk about the process you
go through if you are given
checks that are returned due to
being insufficient. He had avail-
able a packet of information de-
tailing the collection process of
these. Mayor Bowers picked
up a packet and it is available
here at City Hall.
Speaking of Mayor Bowers.
He is in Lufkin this day serving
on a DETCOG board. Forty
five grand applications for
TCDP funds will be ranked by
this by group and then for-
warded to Austin to be ranked
again. The one that the City sub-
mitted is for additional work at
the wastewater treatment plant.
Mayor Bowers is excused from
participation in ours. We surely
hope to get funded.
