This weekend, three excellent ladies donated reading material and pics to the Museum: Mary Jane Attwood gave several books that belonged to Jim and Mary Ellen Granderson, Barbara Word Milburn donated several text books that once belonged to the New Edinburg Schools (including a couple of 1^st grade readers that I remember... which should tell you how old they really are), and Becky Morgan Cheney gave copies of several pictures of the Bryant family along with picture frames. Many thanks to all three ladies for expanding your town's museum.

There's a plague of armchair fire chiefs in the area who like to criticize the NEFD but can't quite seem to find the guts to show up, suit up, and school us on how it's done. Now's the time to demonstrate what you're made of.

New Edinburg Column for September 12

“Then Job answered the LORD, and said, ² I know that thou canst do every thing, and that no thought can be withholden from thee. ³ Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not. ⁴ Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me. ⁵ I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee.” (Job 42:1-5KJV)
