It is amazing how they started this country in 1776 without federal matching funds.

This week's news:

Sorry our Caney news got lost in the shuffle last week, but it was in the Picayune office on time.

My sister, Pauline Blevins, of Nubbin Hill and I spent Monday and Tuesday nights in Delight with our sister, Edith May, and her husband. Our brother, Joe Baker, and his wife Katie of Camo, Texas, were also visiting. We had such a enjoyable time. We visited the Diamond Mine and the KA-DO-WA Indian burial ground and the Brock Town Cemetery, where our Grandpa Box was buried, and the Delight Cemetery, where our mother's Grandpa Conaster was buried. We also made a quick trip to Little Rock to meet and visit with Katie's sister.

Gerald Overton was buried in Caney Cemetery Friday. He passed away Wednesday.

Ann Loe spent part of last week in the hospital in Hope. She was unable to be in church Sunday, but was feeling much better.

Jerry Don Wicker was on the sick list Sunday.

Bobby Lunsford visited his doctor in Little Rock last week and got a good report.

Morris Baptist Church had services with patients of Hillcrest Sunday afternoon.

Cannon Callicott taught our Bible study Wednesday evening. Several were absent. Bro. Tal Webb was in Ruston, La., in a revival. Lucy Glass spent Wednesday night with her sister, Mary Fern Overton, and Bro. Junior Loe was at the hospital with Ann.

One way to save face is to keep the lower part of it shut.
