A little girl put a rock in a boy’s ear. Makes one wonder what the rest of the school year will be like. I have really been enjoying the cooler temperatures. I have woods all around my house and leaves have already begun to fall. Thought for the week: Before you flare up at anyone’s faults, take time to count to 10 – 10 of your own. Hope you have a safe and great week. If you have news to share, call 989-7523.

Anthony and Betty Cooper were in Swansboro, N.C., last week to help their daughter, Mandy, move into her new house. Marine husband, Jake, is based at Camp Lejeune and is currently serving in Afghanistan. He is expected home on Oct. 1. We wish them much happiness in their new home. Last Sunday afternoon at the home of Ricky and Joanna Welch, it was all baby talk as Joanna and Andrea Maccarino hosted a baby shower for Tyler and Brook Welch. They are expecting their first child, a son, around Oct. 1. Grandparents are anxiously awaiting the arrival of Jackson Hunt Welch. Joe and Nancy Holmes, Esther Howell, Everett
Sheffield and Parker Hurst attended the New Hope Association at the Primitive Baptist Church in Sardis, Miss., on Sept. 11. Our deepest sympathy to the family of Lane Raines, who passed away Sept. 8 at his home in Myrtle Beach, S.C., with burial in Hillcrest Cemetery. Mr. Raines grew up in the Silerton community. He is survived by seven sisters and one brother, Sergaba Whyatt, Marilyn Weaver, Joy Neese, Brenda Parchman, Sylvia Alexander, Carlann Raines, Charlotte Raines and Jerold Raines. Sympathy goes to the families of Harold Mayfield and Billye Faye Fletcher. Plans are being made for the yard sale at the center at
Not only do beetles invade flower and veggie gardens, but other Beatles (1964 Tribute) invaded the minds of Regina Stone Brooks, Helen Morton Rogers and Faye Lott Plunkett. These women turned into girls from the ‘60s singing along with a tribute band. Excitement filled the crowd with clapping, arm rhythm, and memory recalls as songs
were sung during a twohour performance. It’s been a hard day’s night is all I can add to their finale. I recall in 1964 screaming when The Beatles showed up in our living room on the Ed Sullivan Show. Momma wanted to turn off the TV, and someone else in the house said they could stomp something out of a log that would look better than that. That burst my “yellow submarine.” I was only 13, far too young to twist and shout or protest to adults! Inez Alexander may have had recent hip surgery, but the ole gal doesn’t let grass grow under
her feet! She attended the Alexander family reunion, and a week later celebrated at the Goff family reunion. That was a lot of buttermilk pie to eat that Regina baked. Erin Clayton Seaton had shoulder surgery Monday in Texas. The family is so thankful no cancer was discovered in the shoulder area as first suspected. Erin married in July and it seems has had several obstacles to overcome, but it seems all is well or getting well now. Regina Brooks said many prayers had been said for her daughter and her mother; and she feels very
7 a.m. Oct. 9. All proceeds go to the center for operating costs. Breakfast items, hot dogs and drinks will be available. The meeting is coming up at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 23. All members are encouraged to attend. As I was making a buttermilk pie, I remembered churning for my mother, and working the dasher up and down. Finally, the butter begins to form around the hole in the lid. Mama would mold it into patties, and the buttermilk was so good. Of course it’s a lost art today and the churns are antique items. My churn is over 85 years old and was given to me by a friend. Pray for the sick, our soldiers and our country. Have a good week.
Deanburg Baptist Church will have a revival Sept. 19-21. Rev. Tom Lewis will be the speaker. Services will be at 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. Sunday, and at 7 p.m. Monday and Tuesday. Everyone is invited to attend. The Deanburg Community Center will be hosting a wiener roast and hayride at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 18. The kids will love it as well as the adults. After all, we are all young at heart. Happy birthday to April Collins and Carol Perkins on Sept. 15; Cayce Perkins, Larry Shackleford and Barbara Tutor on Sept. 17; Kimberly Weaver on Sept. 18; Jimmy Concialdi on Sept. 19; and Beth Ann Hill and Hannah Collins on Sept. 21. Happy anniversary to Curtis and Lavern Lynch on Sept. 19. Have a great day and celebrate. We still have several people on our get-well list. Continue to pray for Phillip Ragan, Sonny Grimm, Winna Knipper, Teresa Colbert, Nancy Turner, Dennis Bain, Edra Barnett, Linda Holder, Esther Murley, W.T. Colbert, Freddie Murley Smith, Gaynell Dees,
Brenda Collins and Charles Murley. We hope everyone is feeling better. Here is something you may have wondered about, an ice cream headache: An ice cream headache is triggered by a sudden change in temperature that occurs in your mouth when you eat something cold. On a hot day when you eat a snow cone, the cold crushed ice that touches the top of your mouth initiates a nerve reaction that swells blood vessels in your head. The nerve center on the roof of your mouth overreacts to the cold temperature of the snow cone and tries to heat your brain. This swelling of blood vessels is what causes an ice cream headache, or what is more commonly known as “brain freeze” or “frozen brain syndrome.” Luckily, the intense stabbing pain in your head usually lasts only for about 30-60 seconds. I scream, you scream, we all scream ice cream headache! Thirty percent of the human population suffers from these excruciating headaches. The best way to avoid getting an ice cream headache is keep the chilled foods or beverages you eat on the side of your mouth, away from the roof of your mouth.

humble for all community friends and family. The descendants of Elkanah Fowler and Rebecca Rhodes Jones will meet at 12:30 p.m. Sept. 19 at Catfish Cabin in Jackson. Call Robbie Stanfill for details. Birthday greetings Monday to our dear Lily Thomas Weaver. Years ago, Don and I had a yard picnic - she brought requested homemade ice cream. Later I apologized for asking of such a hard task on her part to bring. She smiled and quickly assured me it was the easiest dish she could bring, because Herman and she
made it so often. Those words made me feel better, but will not ask others to do that deed again. The same year Joann and Newsome Jones, Melbern and Earlene Jones, and Geralene Thompson brought homemade ice cream. With those four gallons, we still didn’t have enough ice cream. I can still see the disappointment on “Boss” Wadley’s face when he didn’t receive a big bowl. Next party I’ll borrow a five-gallon ice cream making machine! Continue to keep Babe Ruth, Judy Azevedo and Frank McEarl in your
prayers. To my cousins, Kathy, Brandon, and Jonathan Pounds, tender embraces for endurance of a year this week without Bob. Even the darkest day sometimes holds a little ray of sunshine to help guide us on our way. We must continue to look up and give thanks for all things. One day we will be together again, until then we take one day at a time. Our sympathy to the families of Buford Mosier (12-25-26/9-8-10); Maurine Lott Foster (528-24/9-9-10), first cousin of Lois Rhodes; and Tommy Dickerson (8-2253/9-10-10). God bless.
