Newspaper Page TextPage 8 The Brantley Enterprise, Na hunta, Ga., March 22, 1973 When it comes to conservation, we plunge right in. The Chattooga — 54 miles of wild river. Georgia Power's land exchange agreement with the National Forest Service means that 6,000 acres along that thundering white water will remain untamed and unspoiled. Preservation of such rivers is vital. In 1972 we also donated 15 miles of land along the Chattahoochee River for development into a public park by Fulton and Cobb counties. An ad ditional 150 acres were given to the State of Georgia for a wilderness park and access to the river. Beginning with Georgia Power’s land manage ment programs back in the 20s, we’ve been working to preserve and protect the environment. When it comes to conservation, you won’t find us clinging to the shoreline. We plunge right in. Georgia Power Company A citizen wherever we serve® New Mexico is the only state to recognize two °^6’ciaj anguages-English and Spanish.

King Tax Collector NEWS FROM Brantley County East Hello friends...l mast ex. press my regrets for the •• mixed up " column last week. Sure got the feed back on that, but hope you can understand that even News Paper equipment needs tender loving Repair at times..that’s what happened. A piece of machinery refused to oper ate. Although my Editor is a bit perturbed and offers apologies, hope you enjoyed the untangling of the repeat, ed column. Dropped in on A.C. and Doris Harrison...A.C. is a carpenter, electrician, Coll, ege student and “ Jack of all or most trades”... he was at tempting to repair their Auto matic Washer while Doris told me of her episode with a Coral snake in their yard. She has a thing about snakes and crawlingcreatures..shou ted loud and long for spo use to come shoot the snake, which their dog was nipping and yapping at. Eventually, A.C. arrived with gun in hand., holding the dog off with one foot, shot and missed, got the snake on second shot. Cheers!.. dead snake, sleepy husband, irate dog and shook, up wife! The Waynesville Comm unity Service Club held their meeting Wednesday 14 March Mrs. Myrtle Moody was Hos tess. A covered dish lunch, eon was served and the mem bers experimented in the mak ing of Decorating hand mir rors. Saw one..lots of net frills, styrofoam balls and little plastic flowers or rib bons. Right cute and useful as gifts. Correction: I prin ted Mrs. Harris as Pres, of this Club, it is Mrs. L. R. Harrison. Understand but have not got ten it ” from the horses mouth”, that Mr. Noody Gib son was attempting to load cattle in his truck..was given a swift kick in the mouth! Apparently one of the Bovin es did not like the idea of being pushed a round..don’t know the extent of damage to Mr. Gibson, other than a chip ped tooth and a let down of his pride. Hope it is not too severe, Mr. Gibson. Met up with a long lost cousin..he didn’t recognize this gal...but a few minutes reminiscing of childhood years..white sandy roads, We iner Roasts, cake walks br ought back nostalgic mem ories. Wish our sons and daughters had been able to experience those happy ti mes...even the experience of getting there, in “ horse and wagon ” conveyance! Mr. Clovis Johnson is the proud owner of a new Trac tor ! We know he can oper ate machinery..but do be careful of those Wheel Bar rows, Mr. Johnson! He says, Mrs. J. is feeling much bet ter these days and we’re hap py to see her up and out again after her long bout of illness. Also, Mr. Johnson reported that he did not read his Brantley Enterprise right away..he thought it was the Florida Times, cause it was so thick last week! That’s progress, friends. Last week I reported a new addition to the Gary Sumler Household...a new filly...her name is Crystal...this week, Mr. Tommy Sumler and Mrs Violet Sumler are the proud owners of another “ Cham pion” offspring..another little filly. Spouse made a special trip to the stable this morn, ing to announce to his Stal lion Champ, that he had an lion Champ, that he had an. other offspring...says “ Ch amp” replied that’s okay, I knew it and figured it was gonna be a girl!” I think I better check out Spouse and Horse...and figure out which one is doing the nipping of alcoholic beverage! Mr. Collins says “ I have never seen a single man’s garment that zippers up the back!” Referring to having to zip Mrs. Collins clothing for her...doesn’t understand Women. Speaking with an “ out of State ” visitor the other eve ning..from N.J., I asked him how he was enjoying our So uthern Hospitality. Readily , he replied “ Wonderful , and especially those “ grapefruit juice biscuits ” I had the other morning!” I almost fa inted.. as I’ve never...ever heard of such. So. teasing him a bit, I said, please try our cornbread and possum ...deli cious I Poor fellow agreed to try it, ■ although he wasn’t quite sure of possum..of co urse when we broke into lau- Ivene Langley ghter, think he realized this was a southern way of jok. ing, still if ANYONE has a recipe for grapefruit juice biscuits, PLEASE let me print it, I want to try them my self ! The USS Brunswick arrived in port in Brunswick Thurs day. Observed was many happy Sailors “ living it up”....believe this is the ship that brought two of our POWs Home to Florida from Viet, nam.... Welcome Home and Home is anywhere Stateside, fellows! From Hortense.. When the Train tradgedy happened the whole Community of Hortense immediately came to the aid and rescue of some 300 folks who were rather dazed, fri. ghtened and just wandering about. Hortense Hospitality proved itself again, caring for these folks, feeding them sandwiches and hot coffee, inviting them to shelter and providing cars and buses to transport them to the Land mark and Holiday Inn in Je sup. We of Brantley County feel a certain pride in this action but the folks adminis tered to responded in more precise terms. Mrs. Daisy Eunice says, “ more comm ents were made..” we never knew Georgia had so many kind and considerate folks., but you have shown us and we intend to let it be known when ve reach our nomes up North again.” .heir ap preciation was as ueep and genuine as the concern and consideration the folks of Hor tense gave. Church Chimes: Trinity Ch urch of the Nazarene, Old Post Road. Pastor: Rev. W.C. ( Bill ) Wright. Services: Sunday School 10:00 A.M. Morning Worship: 11:00 A.M. NYPS: 5:00 and Choir Prac tice: 4:45 P.M. Nazarene Jun ior Fellowship: 5:00 P.M. Evening Worship: 6:00 P.M. Wednesday Prayer: 7:00 P.M. Had a nice visit from Mrs. Wright and her daughter Ju lie Sikes. As with my first meeting with these fine peo ple, a sense of humor pre vails. In our chatting coun- Idn’t help but quote the fol lowing... Seems their young son has just begun driving the family car. After night services recently, the young man forgot to return the car keys..left with friends on his return trip to Brunswick wh ere the Rev. and his family resides. Being the last to leave the church, it suddenly dawned on Rev. Wright, he did not have his keys! Af ter much discussion of “wh at to do ”, Rev. Wright sug gested to his wife that she stay in the church, lock all doors turn on all lights, and play the piano loud and long. This was for reasons of re cent Vandalism at the Chur ch. Mrs. Wright knowing wi thout a doubt that the Lord would watch over her..let her final decision be to accom pany her husband on his walk to perhaps flag a kindheart ed Motorist.they did..a mot orist did stop and gave them a lift to Thalmann where they made the Telephone call to their home.. Conclusion of story is that the car reached them forthwith...yet, laterbe ing informed of our “ Bob Cats”..Mrs. Wright thought she had taken even greater risk and does not consider these creatures as being the most Christian type!. The Reverend Wright does extend a. most cordial invi tation to each and all to at tend Worship at his Church. On 23 March there will be a camp ou for Jr. Boys at the Church and a Pajama Party for Jr. Girls at Rev. Wright’s Home the same ni ght. Everyone is invited to attend the Cook-out... Work • day, 24 Match at the Church. No News is Good News I guess...we still do not have reports from Browntown Ch urch or any social items. Would appreciate it anytime though. It is a bit of sadness that I mention a conversation with a very nice gentleman, Mr. Archie Lyons, who recently lost his wife. Words are so inadequate in times of sor row and comforting. I can only give my heart, my hands and my understanding to him. Mr. Lyons, as some of us have and all of us will, is suff. ering in his lonliness and loss of a loved one. I can only say that the heart must know pain and sorrow as well as happiness and love..or wewo uld not know the difference. Waynesville Baptist Church: From Pastor Sheppard: We encourage visits and services in the Nursing Homes. Th ese elderly people are so ap preciative and the Ho! - combs sang in Brunswick re cently, receiving a blessing. We need prayers for our sick, especially, Mrs. Ollie V. Whitner and Mr. and Mrs. Mercer. Pray also for the two Rhoden boys who were in a wreck last weekend. Lamar is seriously injured and in Intensive Care in Waycross. Larry is better and at home. Pastors Remarks: I was real disappointed our youth did not attend the Youth Rally at Crawford St. Baptist Ch urch, Monday. We attended. It was of value to Church Leaders and all young peo ple. I appreciate all of you people and your contribution to Missions which was sl, 182.00. That is truly a mis sionary minded Church. Th ank you so much for your gifts for the glory of God. Brother Sheppard. Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Parson, Dorothy Gib son’s parents, on their an niversary this week. A surprise birthday dinner was given for Tommy Mood y’s Mother, age 67 at his home many friends and family were present. Happy Birthday from me, too. He who does not understand your silence will probably not understand your words. From the “ Brantley Co unty Country Club”: Good and faithful friemds, Mr. and Mrs. Bobby Sheppard really did not have a good week end, 9-10 March, but I must say they have stamina and will not allow things to get them down too long. These fine folks have many friends and reg ular customers who not only keep going to the Country Club for it’s Courtesy and friendly atmosphere, but who stand staunchly beside them when the need arises..and al- #32 1969 PLYMOUTH\ LIKE NEW! 4 Dr., VB., AT, R-H, P S . pb. \ Still In Warranty $1089.00 > And You Can... 1973 impala / Save £ SIOOO 4 Door Sedan With All The Extras * No. 71 No. 70 1970 IMPALA 1972 DATSUN 4 Dr., 1 Owner, V-8, AC, R-H, TG, WW, PS, PB, Vinyl Roof 1 Owner.

Would like to say just a few words to all the nice folks who have purchased a copy of my Poetry Bitter, sweet....sometimes, friends, believe it or not, lam speech less... for there are times words are not adequate to ex. press what is in my heart.

McLean wishes to state that Soft Ball season is now here and anyone wishing to par ticipate usually at the Tahl ticipate isially at the Thal mann Community Center ball field, to please contact either himself or Mr. Bill Skipper at Thalmann. I could tell by the gleam in Mr. Mac’s eyes he can hardly wait! Just before the paper went to press last week, Mr. Hern don’s grandfather, who was so ill in Lyons, passed away. Our heartfelt sympathy to you and your family. Chatting with friends and relatives: Visited Mrs. Bl anche ( Highsmith ) Harrison, last week and what a delight ful visit. Blanche is one of Thalmann’s long time Resi dents and whose home was Na hunta before her marriage to the late Connie Harrison. Wa asking her of Thalmann • Heritage and learned to my surprise there was a small School House there that was also used for church on Sun days, many years ago. She was one of the School’s Tea chers for awhile...teaching “ Primer through Bth gra des”! There was approx imately 30 children attend, ing and one young man she Ivene Langley recalls vividly, Mr. Herman Taylor... " the class agi tator ” ... got a spanking nearly everyday., says he must remember her, t 00... everytime he sees her In Brunswick, it’s “ Hello Tea cher!” Mrs. Harrison’s Ne phew and family live with her and I chatted with his lovely wife, Thelma. Wonder where my cousins find these beau tiful wives...but it was such a pleasure to visit with them. Then there’s the “ Teller of Tales”... a very nice gen tieman, Mr. Mac, as we call him. .. Mr. McLean...owner of the local Grocery and also the Hub of News. .. Stopped to check with him on news ! (gullible me should know bet. ter)... I was immediately in formed I’d just missed the news! Excited, I said What? He replied, well, wife Ella and Loraine had to go to the Hospital.. l was really sympa thetic by then..he continued.. “ we were playing the Banjo and guitar and singing Cotton Eyed Joe..they thought it was a Funeral Hymn., cried so much..lost so much liquid, had to takem for Glucose!” ...Now folks, you see where some of my humorous stuff comes from! Os course this is Mr. Mac’s usual self and most folks find it a pleas ure to chat a mem ent or hours with him.. for the laughter and humor. He is also a “ Fa ther, Brother and Participant with the young boys around., listens to their troubles, takes them fishing, hunting camp outs and Plays Ball. The yo. ung people love it, parents appreciate it and we believe God smiles upon him. Al though, Mr. Mac always says “ he’s not feeling well at all ”... I know better... yo ung at heart makes you young in body and soul. A big Fishfry was held at Bladen, recently...about 35 so- Iks attended and enjoyed It. I wondered Where all the fish came from...fully expecting Mr. Mac to say “ from Hea- Coat’d page 9, Column 8
