This being an election year with many contested races, the election signs are popping up like daisies everywhere. Unfortunately, a few have been going missing around here and I just thought I'd mention that stealing a campaign sign is actually a crime in the state of Arkansas. I understand that some people get rather passionate about candidates, but there's no call for this sort of behavior.

New Edinburg Fire Department responded to a dishwasher fire on Russell Road Monday morning.
Two donations to the New Edinburg Museum last week: Marty Gill gave me two horseshoes dug up from the area of the horse corral that was once in town, and Cecil Sanders donated a book written by him entitled "The Future: An Amillenial Perspective." If you have a book written by someone from New Edinburg, like this one, I'd love to archive a copy on the museum for posterity (and reading). The names "New Edinburg Museum", "Museum of New Edinburg", and "New Edinburg Museum of History" are copyrighted (c) to me, James C. Boney, as of April 20, 2012.
Homecoming at Macedonia FWB Church was a sheer delight this past Sunday. The southern gospel quartet The Kinsmen kept the congregation entertained with music and light humor both before and after a lavish potluck lunch. Karen Thompson was backed by the Kinsmen as she moved the audience with "I Bowed On My Knees and Cried Holy." Mrs. Betty Green was visited by her daughter Teresa Gatewood and Teresa's daughter Brenttany. I had not seen Teresa in over a decade and enjoyed talking to her again.

"Psalm 95:1 O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation. 2 Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms. 3 For the LORD is a great God, and a great King above all gods." (Psa 95:1-3 KJV)

Bob Kleinbeck reports Geneva (Landers) Everright is now in a nursing home in Pine Bluff. She is 98 years old.
Controversy within the Fire Department's long overdue meeting last Thursday resulted in one member quitting (that would be me) and firefighter James Gill demanding that the bylaws be revised for clarity over procedural and personnel issues that have been hanging for a long time. Marty Gill is reported to have read the board of directors the riot act over the personal behavior of certain firefighters. There will be a meeting of the board of directors this month to address these issues. Fire chief Randy Linzy names Major "Boo" McClellan assistant fire chief and training officer Allan May, due to his ill health, appoints Steven Linzy and James Gill as assistant training officers. Be advised that all area residents who pay fire dues are entitled in input on fire department matters.
While walking home from that meeting, I was stopped and searched for concealed weapons by one State Trooper and two County Deputies on a tip that I was in possession of a collapsible baton. Of course, they found nothing because I am NOT retarded. Apparently someone thinks I'm dangerous enough that I'm worthy of three law enforcement officers. I appreciate the compliment. I'm now operating under the impression that someone abused his/her authority in order to bring that much muscle down on me, and all reading this should be concerned; if I can be targeted, then so can you. Kudos to Trooper Rowland for his professional demeanor and pleasant attitude.
Adding to the rash of thefts in this area: new resident Mark Schienle, who hails from Wisconsin and lives in the former Louise Sledd house, reports that his Get-Rid-Of-It trash can was stolen from his yard on or about March 27. We all feel positive someone should have seen this in the middle of town; if you have knowledge of this incident, please contact him.

New Edinburg Column For Jan. 9 2012
“20 For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.” (2Co 1:20 KJV)
Prayer list this week includes: the family of Patti Kleinbeck.
Birthdays this week include: Ricky Sanders (Jan. 9), Coy Ray Martin (Jan 13).
I hope everyone is having a great 2012 so far. As of this writing, major rain is moving into the area. We complain about it now, but we'll need the water later.
Tyler Attwood visited with his NEHS classmate Matthew Blackmon last week; Matthew's been in and out of the hospital but is doing better.
There will be a baby girl shower for Amber and Brandon Martin, Sunday, Jan. 15 at 2pm at Macedonia Church.
Macedonia managed to pull the wool over Brother Billy Wilson's eyes for quite some time in arranging a special surprise birthday party for him last Sunday. 141 were in attendance. Bro. Billy turned 70 on Jan. 6. Deacons Ricky Sanders and Tommy Green spent an hour roasting Bro. Billy to the delight of the congregation, and the guest took it all in good stride. The Gospel group “Kingdom Bound” performed for an hour before an excellent potluck dinner was served in the fellowship hall, and then we returned for another hour of music by the group and by various congregation members. Nell Brown painted a large and detailed portrait of all the places Bro. Billy has served while in the ministry. All in all, Pastor Billy Wilson was greatly touched by the special day planned by his family and friends. Personally, I have never seen a church congregation honor and treat their pastor as fantastic as Macedonia FWB does Bro. Billy.
Donations to the New Edinburg Museum last week included a NEHS gym bag (given by Tyler Attwood), a 1960s NEHS cheerleader jacket (donated by Mary Jane Attwood), and a copy of the New Edinburg Eagle newspaper (given by Clyde Moseley). Let's stop a minute and explain the story behind this newspaper. In the early 1940s, before yearbooks were the thing, the senior high school produced a few issues of an in-house newspaper revolving around the school itself and their classmates who were at war. There are many photocopies floating around, and I have several of those on display, but this is the first honest-to-gosh copy of the newspaper itself I've ever seen. Thanks to all who added to this town's museum.

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.

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
