October 2 Edition
"25 The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the Lord shall be safe." - Proverbs 29:25 KJV
Prayer list includes: the family of Geneva Landers Everright
Birthdays this week include: Teresa Thompson-Brown - Oct. 2, Gail Crater - Oct. 4, Allan Rippy - Oct. 4, Larry Briant - Oct. 5, Kathy (Norris) Spence - Oct. 5, Barbara (Word) Milburn - Oct. 7.
Macedonia Baptist Church will hold its Pastor Appreciation Day this Sunday followed by a potluck lunch. Their annual Fall Festival will be October 27.
West Saline Community Center's Monday meeting was rescheduled to the next evening due to board member scheduling conflicts. Relevant results of that meeting will be in next week's edition.
Rain this weekend brought cooler temperatures and 2.5 inches of a slow, gentle rain. The Harvest moon this year was obscured by the heavy clouds.
Geneva Landers Everright passed away in Pine Bluff last Tuesday. She was 97 and was born in 1914. Think about that for a moment. That means she saw World Wars I and II, Korea, Vietnam, and both Gulf Wars... six wars in all. She saw the local transition from horse and wagon to cars to the space shuttle. She started cultural entertainment with telling stories in the living room to watching HDTV with 500 channels. She saw man fly faster than sound and walk on the Moon. She saw men's hair short, grow long and then get short again. She saw women go from long dresses to short dresses to pants... from eyehook boots to crocs and flipflops. She started with sepia portraits you sat for in a studio and wound up with color pictures you can print at home. She saw the transition from postal letters to email and texting. She saw the transition from walking to see your neighbor to cellphones. She saw Brown vs. BOE and Roe vs. Wade. She saw gasoline go from pennies to dollars and horses becoming a hobby instead of standard home equipment. She saw the fall of the American Republic and the rise of American flavored Neo-Marxism. That's how much we've changed in almost a century... what will the younger among us see before they reach her age?
New phone number: 870-250-9103. Old phone died. Try to text, if you can, any info you have for this column, but calling is fine too. My email is JamesCBoney@gmail.com and you know where my driveway is. If you have items you want to see in this column, get them to me before Monday for inclusion in that week's edition. Go Eagles.

"1. There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death." - Romans 8:1-2

Last week's storms brought an estimated eight inches of rain and knocked out our electricity for 13 hours. Despite all the rain, the ground is getting dry again. The burn ban has been lifted for now, but still be careful when you burn outside.
Preceding the storm was a lot of wind, and New Edinburg Fire Department, along with Kingsland and County Line Departments responded to a woods fire started by a downed power line on the Towery Road last Wednesday.
Rain didn't stop the descendants of Lottie Hardaway from journeying to meet at the West Saline Community Center on Friday, Saturday and Sunday for their family reunion. Over 80 family members attended and had an excellent time with grilling, games, and a catered banquet the last afternoon.
West Saline Community Center's quarterly board meeting was last Monday night with a quorum in attendance. First order of business was the acceptance of LaVetrice Gill as a board member. Discussion and plans for the following projects were made and approved: pressure washing the hallway floors and walls in order to clean them and improve looks, the acquisition of a gas cook stove for the kitchen, and the acquisition of a propane tank and an electric hot water heater. Other long range plans will be covered later here as progress is made. The board agreed to shift meetings back to the old schedule of every first Monday of the month for the time being.
There will be a baby boy shower for Heather and Chris Van Duren in the Macedonia FWB Church fellowship hall at 6 pm. on Sat. Sept 8.

West Saline Community Center news: the Jackson Family reunion was last Wednesday, Thursday and Friday afternoons at WSCC with about 75 attending from across the US. The pork was present is great quantities. The Wagnon Family reunion was Sunday with about 25 attending. The 2012 NEHS All School Reunion was last Saturday. Attendance for that was down this year, probably due to the oppressive heat, with about 75 students and faculty there. Despite this, we had a great time with door prizes and food galore. Make plans to attend next year if you missed out this time.
Patronage of the New Edinburg Museum that Saturday was excellent; people like what's going on down there. NEHS graduate Virginia (Brown) Carter donated her 1970 FFA Sweetheart jacket to the museum (see accompanying picture elsewhere in this edition). Thanks goes to Virginia for this beautiful and priceless relic. As I open up the museum on and off again this year, I'll be sure to give a heads up in the paper.

Birthdays this week include: Janice Thompson (July 3), Tyler Attwood (July 3). Happy belated birthday to Marty Gill (June 26).
Happy anniversary to: Sharon and Brad Davis (July 1), Tammy and Tommie Green (July 1), Agnes and Frank McClellan (July 4), Melinda and Danny Huddleston (July 7).
We hope everyone has an excellent Fourth of July this week. It's dangerously dry, so please take no chances with the fireworks. It's not worth it.
Revival begins at the Macedonia Free Will Baptist Church on July 22 at the morning service with Rev. Lonnie Burks preaching. The revival will be held on the 23 - 25 at 7 p.m.
The All School Reunion is this Saturday starting at 10am in the cafeteria of the WSCC. All former students, faculty and staff are invited. Let's have a great crowd this year like we have in the past few years!
We're losing Pat and Rita Parham later this month and they move back to Oregon. The Parhams have lived here for 25 years, and Pat is the son of late store owner Kendrick "Tarpey" Parham and a descendant of J. J. T. Kendrick who opened the first store in New Edinburg in 1860.. We'll hate to lose them as neighbors and friends, but wish them well.
