Through the years
we find friend and
kin in the obit col-
umn of the Kerens
Tribune, /but the la-
test issue hit home.
A hundred years ago
my namesake grandfa-
ther was offered the
blackland east of Ke-
rens, but instead, he
bought the sandy
hills and Trinity
River bottomland so-
utheast of town. The
subject’s maternal
grandfather bought
the west land which
is still called the
Talley Farm. His pat-
ernal great-grandpar-
ents came in an 1855
wagon train to the
Samaria area from Al-
abama with my patern-
al great-grandparent-
s. Our mutual great-
great- grandfather
is buried in Jimeson
Cemetery. But this
bloodkinship never
registered with me
until recent years.
What counted was our
life-long friendship.
Based on my personal
experiences and
drawing on escapades
of past and present
Kerensites, a forth-
coming book of mine
relates many of the
hilarious and true
incidents which have
occurred locally. And
the entire book is
written through his
eyes.
His fate was an en-
tire lifetime of phy-
sical pain and handi-
cap. The past few
years he lay paraly-
zed in a nursing
home. But inside him,
he retained that
buoyant spirit and
alert humor. The ded-
icated services of
Gray Ladies and a
devoted step-mother
allowed us to corres-
pond under his almost
hopeless circumstan-
ces.
When fate dealt me
tragedy, excruciating
pain or handicap, I
could always cope
better by thinking
of the constant smile
and hearty laughter
of this polio-crippl-
ed boy—outward mani-
festations of his
supreme courage and
stimulating attitu-
de.
This dearest friend
and beloved companion
was Jack Sherrill.

It used to be your electric bill went
up in the heat of the summer. And
then next to nothing in spring and fall.
Just trying to keep up with it was a full-
time job. But it doesn’t have to be,
thanks to a plan from TP&L.
INTRODUCING THE EQUAL PAYMENT PLAN.
With our Equal Payment Plan we
can average your monthly electric char-
ges. That means you’ll pay the same
for service all year long. You still pay for
all you use, but you’ll know exactly what
to expect each and every month. With
no surprises.
STAY COOL WHEN THINGS HEAT UP THIS
SUMMER. It’s a fact that energy costs
aren’t getting cheaper. And the cost of
electricity is at its highest in the sum-
mer. So now is the best possible time to
enroll in the Equal Payment Plan tokeep
your bills from getting out of hand.
To find out more about our Equal
Payment Plan and what it could mean
to you and your checkbook, just call
your local TP&L office. Getting even was
never so easy.
Mrs. James Inmon was
honored with a baby
shower on Monday,

ase.
The mother-to-be

stel colored gingham.
The serving table
was centered with a
white daisy arrange-
ment adorned with
pastel colored ging-
ham bows.
Games were played
and refreshments were
served to the guests.
Hostesses for the
occasion were Mrs,
Kilcrease and Mrs.
Gene Bullard.
