New Edinburg Column For This Week: Feb. 21

2 Corinthians 11: 12-15 "¹²But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them which desire occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we. ¹³For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. ¹⁴And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. ¹⁵Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works."

Prayer list for this week includes: Patricia Love McClellan, and the family of Maudie Groves Ross.

Birthdays this week include: Dena Chancellor (Feb. 23), Chad Sanders (Feb. 23), Liz Linzy (Feb. 24), Barbara Reaves (Feb. 25), Kirsten Emerson (Feb. 26).

Anniversaries this week include: Johnny and Freda Green (Feb. 20).

This week we continue to see some early Spring weather with bouts of rain.  Let's hope the upcoming blackberry winter will be mild and we can get some plants in the ground with minimal fuss this year.

Mary Jane Attwood and company visited Jim Granderson this past weekend.

Mr. and Mrs. Willie and Wanda Livingston were in town this past weekend from Texas working on the Clements hotel building.  Miss Wanda said they had been snowed in down there for a solid week, so I guess we got off light here.

Saturday night saw police officers from Cleveland and Dallas Counties arresting one wanted man on Mt. Elba Rd and being forced to conduct a manhunt for a second one.  The second suspect fled to the woods and was apprehended late Sunday morning after outsmarting tracking dogs brought from Pine Bluff.  I'm sure more details will appear elsewhere in this paper.

I'll have the New Edinburg Museum open this Saturday from noon to four in the West Saline Community Center.  Feel free to drop by and visit.
