Thanksgiving Edition
"7 And Jesus came nd touched them, and said, Arise and be not afraid. 8 and when the had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only." (Matt. 17:7-8 KJV)
Prayer list this week includes: Sue McClellan, Clint Childress, and the family of Noma Watkins.
Birthdays this week include: James Morgan (Nov. 22), Deb Jones (Nov. 24).
I hope everyone has an excellent Thanksgiving this week.
We received at least two inches of much needed rain last week with more rain coming in this week. Temperatures are warm for this time of the year.
Mr. and Mrs. Floyd and Nell Brown donated to the Museum a scrapbook put together by the late Noma Watkins. The book contains memories and documents pertaining to the FHA chapte at NEHS from the '60s and '70s. With the scrapbook came three framed pictures of FHA officers Diana McClellan, Paula Splawn and Ruth Ann Murrell. It was Mrs. Watkins' wish that these items have a good home where they could be seen by all, and the Browns saw fit to place them within the New Edinburg Museum. The museum will be closed for the month of December for renovations and re-open sometime in early January.
Many remember Mrs. Watkins as the Home Economics teacher at NEHS for many years. She was well beloved by students and faculty alike.
Please feel free to share items of interest for this column, but get them to me before Monday for inclusion in that week's edition. Go Eagles.

New Edinburg Column for November 15
“We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.” (Romans 15:1 KJV)
Prayer list includes: Randy Sanders, Sue McClellan, and the family of Asbery Rainey.
Birthdays this week include: Allan May (Nov. 13), LaTonya Jackson (Nov. 14), Jim Snyder (Nov. 15), Kim Briant (Nov. 16), Frank Martin (Nov. 17), JoAnna McClellan (Nov. 18), Sondra Parker (Nov. 19), Ruth Lasiter (Nov. 19). Happy belated birthday to Leroy Broughton (Nov. 11).
Happy Anniversary to Steven and Marilyn Rauls (Nov. 17).
Larry Hamilton was buried this past Saturday at Piney Grove. The funeral was followed by a wake and dinner for the family at the West Saline Community Center with well over 100 in attendance.
Huey Lodge #78, New Edinburg, will sponsor a soup and chili supper Saturday starting at 4pm. The cost is $6, the menu is soup, chili, dessert and drinks, and it's all you can eat. Everyone is welcome!
The New Edinburg Museum will be open this Sunday from Noon to four. It be closed during the month of December for renovation and will reopen sometime in early January. This winter, I'll also start a project of collecting names and dates from all the cemeteries in this area. Yes, I know there's a cemetery book, but it's outdated. Once everything's written down, I'll create a computer database for genealogical research and share it with surrounding libraries.
Even though it's halfway through November, it's still warm and dry. People in this area apparently have been pretty safe about burning outside, since we've had no fire outbreaks in many months although other areas in the county seem plagued with them.
With modern gun season open last Saturday, hunters are reporting mixed success and many think the deer population is significantly smaller than in previous years.
This column appears on the internet this Monday at http://WeAreTheEagles.blogspot.com. Thanks for all you do and share. Go Eagles.

Column For Week of Nov. 7th
“Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool.” (Pro 19:1 KJV)
Your biblical Greek word for this week is hagios: a holy thing; a saint.
Prayer list this week includes: Clint Childress, Sue McClellan, Frank and Agnes McClellan, the family of Larry Hamilton, and the family of Georgia Mae Waldrop.
Birthdays this week: Christie Russell (Nov. 6), Lonnie Brown (Nov. 6), Joyce Briant (Nov. 11). Happy belated birthday to Fran Nutt (Nov. 3).
Happy anniversary to Mark and Kim Emerson (Nov. 6) and Jim and Tonya Snyder (Nov. 6).
We're now well into November. Where did 2011 go?
Brother Billy and Mrs. Glenda Wilson will be having Open House at their parsonage this Sunday, Nov. 13, from 2-5pm.
The New Edinburg Volunteer Fire Department assisted Kingsland Fire Department with a grass fire on Tower Road last Wednesday afternoon. Other than some hay bales, there was no property damage.
The New Edinburg Museum will not be open this Sunday. Starting this month, I'll be opening it on 1st and 3rd Sunday afternoons like I did last winter, so look for its hallowed doors to be open again on the 20th.
We're full swing into the deer seasons. Since deer are no longer checked at the store, I have no real idea what the body count is. Modern gun season is near; please, everyone be safe on the stand or off.
Stuff for this column can be sent to JamesCBoney@gmail.com, called in at 87-308-4608 or dropped off in person. Please get it to me before Monday in order to get it in that week's edition. Go Eagles
