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 Yes, I know there's a cemetery book, but it's outdated.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.
