GRANDAIIGHTER OF BOGATA
MAN POLIO VICTIM
Preacher Gives Many
Flowers to Living
The Rev. Joe N. Everheart,
pastor of the Presbyterian
churches of Deport and Bogata,
is a firm believer in “giving flow-
ers to the living.” As a hobby,
the preacher, a lover of flowers,
devotes much time to growing
and giving flowers to friends,
shut-ins and the sick. He is
especially fond of gladioli and
has cut more than 1200 beautiful
blossoms this season. Among his
favorites are white blossoms with
red throats, and a deep red. Part
of the flowers were grown on
heavy black land on the John
Jackson farm southwest of De-
port, while others were grown on
sandy land near Bogata.
On Sundays, a profusion of
flowers have adorned the church-
es in Deport and Bogata, later
being taken to patients in hospi-
tal, the sick and shut-ins. He has
brought cheer and gladness to
many hearts by his thoughtful-
ness, in “giving his flowers to the
living.”
Rows of giant zinnias are now
in full bloom in his gardens and
are used for his daily floral gifts.

Cookville Merchant
Explains Mystery
Oscar Taylor, Cookville mer-
chant, has a decided sense of hu-
mor. There was talk of a contest,
following the recent primary in
Titus County, when 4,407 votes
were polled and only 4,095 poll
taxes issued.
Oscar says there is no mystery
as to*why there are so many vot-
ers in his precinct who do not
have to pay poll taxes:
There hasn’t been a doctor
there for 25 years, no “law” for
about that long, only one tele-
phone in the place, nearly every-
body gets a government check;
they have no worrries, so people
just naturally live longer.
