VOLUME 48 - NUMBER 42
A Voice in the Wilderness
What The People Don’t Know Will Hurt Them
A feature story in the Atlanta Journal and Consti
tution some time back indicates the perseverance of
a small weekly newspaper in the state of Tennessee.
Editor Hicks of the Monroe County Democrat had
been robbed, burned out, beaten up by thugs, shot at
several times and hauled into court. He slept in his
newspaper for 31 nights and then went home to
rest, that night his business was burned down.
Editor Hicks has a sign outside his office that pro
claims; “What the people don’t know will hurt
them.” According to Editor Hicks writing under his
editorial column, FROM WHERE I SIT says, “Aftei’
awhile I get like an old hunting dog,” “Every time
somebody points a gun, I lay down and cover up my
ears.” Over stating his reaction, Editor Hicks contin
ues to weather the storm.
Many newspapers have slogans. Some editors live
up to them. This newspaper is adopting the above
slogan and will live up to it, for this editor does be
lieve that what people don’t know will hurt them.
Vieled threats of court suit by a certain group or
their flunkies will not stop this speaking out on sub
jects that the taxpayers of this county should and
must be told. .
PASTOR'S PEN
A word when it is written out is just a number of
letters that is put together in a certain pattern. A
word when it is spoken is just a number of sounds
that is put together in a certain way. These letters
which are before our eyes and these sounds which
fall upon our ears mean something to us. They can
make us glad or they make us sad, they can do
us some good or they can do us some harm. Words
are very important to us, they are our expressions of
our thoughts and feelings and this is the only way we
can express them, We must either speak or write.
A young girl once ran away from home to get
married. Her father was very angry with her and said
he would never forgive her. She was very sorry to
have hurt her father and wrote him long letters beg
ging for his forgiveness. But he wouldn’t read the
letters and just dropped them into the fire without
opening them. This went on for a long time and fin
ally the daughter had a little son. When this little son
was able to run around by himself she thought, “I
will write no more letters to my father, but I will send
my little son. He will be a living letter to my father
and he will know what I want to say to him when he
see his little grandson. He will know that I still love
him and want his forgiveness. So she took the little
boy to his grandfather’s house and sent him in alone
to speak to the old man. She told the little fellow to
put his arms around his grandfather’s neck and kiss
him.
And when the little fellow did this, the old man’s
heart melted. He could resist the letters from his
daughter because he did not read them, but he could
not resist his grandson who was a living letter and he
sent at once for the mother and forgave her. This was
the word made flesh.
Now our Father had a word of love to send to this
world more than 1900 years ago. He had thoughts of
love towards the world, thoughts of pity, thoughts
of help. The world was sinful, the world was a sad
place, the world was helpess; and this sinful, sad,
and helpless people who lived in it needed to know
the thoughts that God had toward them because they
were thoughts of good and no evil as Isaiah had told
them. God had often told his people thru the pro
phets. but the people would not listen, so he sent his
son, the living word. And thjs expression “the word”
is one of the many beautiful names given to Jesus
Christ because he is the expression of Gods thoughts
to us. He came as God’s letter to the world as John
says in John 1:1.
In the first chapter John says, “In the beginning
was the word, and the word was with God, and the
word was God.

BRANTLEY ENTERPRISE
SEARS REUNION
Over the past weekend a
rather rare and large family
reunion was held at Hard
scrabble Farm by the Sears
family, consisting of about
seventy members.
The last get-together of this
bunch was in 1956 where the
reunion was also held at Hard
scrabble Farm.
On Friday neighbors helped
Mrs. Seares bake cakes and
fix other things that could be
prepared ahead. After asking
for recipes for Brunswick
stew some came up with a uni
que one. The recipe follows:
“First catch your chickens,
clean and cut them and in an
iron pot put them; and near
ly to the top and in it salt and
pepper drop; Boil slowly.
Your tomatoes peel; put in a
shin or so of veal; and for a
flavor beat in mind, a chunk
of middling with the rind.
Next some onions you throw
in, the young and tender skins
and butter beans do not for
get; and what is more impor
tant yet, the corn; but do not
be too fast, this you must cut
and add it last.
For better than the flour
you’ll find it’ll do, to give a
thickness to the stew. Some
lemon peel, cut very thin
may now be added and stirred
in, and ere it is taken from
the fire give it a dash of wor
chestershire, and soon you’ll
hear its praises ring. This is a
dish fit for a King.
Guests began arrving Satur
day morning and continued ar
riving until one motel was
completely filled and another
attacked.
Members of the clan were
from South Carolina, Alabama,
Florida and Georgia. Mrs.
Sears and her daughters-in
laws Millie and Gloria kept
the nots boiling to feed this
bunch of bums — Joe Sears
assisted by Boots presided at
the barbecue pit with his
famous concoction.
The crowd ranged in age
from the wonderful 86 year
old Will Bell to six months
old Susan Sears.
After asking God’s bless
ing which was beautifully done
by Douglas Sears, the group
sang “happy birthday” honor
ing Don Sears’ 21st birthday.
Dan feels rather grown up
now.
The group this time was ap
proximately the same size it
was at the last get-together
14 years ago. There was a
nostalgic feeling among . the
older heads, however, because
about fifty per cent of the 19-
56 participants have gone to
meet their rewards.
