Little One was lost. Or at least
the grown-ups thought he was lost, t
He had wandered off from his i
Mother and Father and had gone [ 1
into the woods where all kinds 1
of animals were.
How old was Little One? It ’
really doesn’t matter. And it ;
doesn’t matter what he looked like. <
Except that he looked like a little l
boy. Possibly freckles were sprink- ■
led across his face like dew on a i
brown daisy, or his face might ■:
have been as soft and clear as ]
a girl’s. Maybe beads of sweat i
popped out at odd times on his
little button nose. Could it have :
been that he had to slick his curls
down? That a cowlick kept one
lock of hair standing straight up I
in the air? Or did that same
lock fall across his forehead and '
drool into his eyes?
Little One was just like your
little boy. The one who likes to
wander away and get himself into
things and messes.
His Mother and Daddy were
unhappy and really in a state be
cause they didn’t know where
Little One was.
His Mother said, "Where, oh
where is Little One? Whatever
makes him get into things and
messes?"
His Father said, “He'll show up.
He has gone off before and he
always comes back." But he sound- <
ed pretty worried. ;
When first dark fell, Little
One’s Mother and Father and some <
more folks started out to hunt
him. i

Mother called as she stumbled
through the darkness.
“Try not to worry. We'll find:
him.” His Father's voice stumb
led like her feet.
“You give me hope, it’s true,” i
said the Mother. “But I need ;
a promise. I need a sure-enough,
cross - your - heart - and - hope - ;
to - die promise that Little One;
is safe. That 1 will hold him in I
my arms and feel his breath ■
against my neck.” She fell over
a root and Father was so dis-:
tiaught that he couldn’t help her
very much to regain a steady foot
ing.
“Can’t you promise that we will
find Little One?” the Mother ■
begged.
“No, No, I’m sorry. 1 wish 1
could. But I cannot promise. As !
you say I can only give you hope.”
They went on through the
strangely quiet forest. The night .
sounds had gone somewhere. The
owl didn’t sit and stare at them j
and hoot his displeasure. There ■
was no possum hanging up-side- :
down to sneer at them. The;
animals had disappeared and it
was very quiet.
The Mother stopped suddenly
and said, "Listen, I hear some
thing.”
Mothers are pretty good at hear- J
ing things if its about their chil
dren. They both stopped real still
and listened.
"What does it sound like?" ask
ed the Father.
"Well,” she hestitated because
it did sound silly, “well, it sounds !
like a little lamb bleating. But - I
I
what would a little lamb be doing !
way out here in the night?”'
They hurried on.
“Have we been walking all
night?” the Mother wondered.
“No, we havent’ been hunting
that long,” said the Father.
"See,” and she pointed. “See the
| light in that clearing through the .
trees? It looks like the coming :
lof a new day.”
And then they both heard the |
lamb’s bleating and ran and ran >
| toward the light, holding to each i
; other because they kept stumbling !
I over roots and things.
When they got to the clearing!
they .stopped because there was i
! Little One and he was all right.
In fact, he was having a won- ;
derful time. Around him were ■
the animals they had missed. The I
I owl sat on a stump and blinked
lat him. The possum was swing
ing from a low limb smiling in
■ stead of sneering. All the other
' animals were gathered around
; like they were at a convention, i
! At Little One’s side, snuggled up
I close so Little One could work his
I fingers through the curled up hair,
i was a lamb.
i The Mother and Father just sat
l down on the damn pine needles
! they were so happy. Ihe Mother
decided not to give Little One a
i whipping after all. They put their
arms around each other and watch
!ed and the Mother whispered, so
।as not to disturb anything, "It
! was the lamb that did it. It was
!the voice of the Little Lamb that
I really added the true promise to
I our hope."
It Could Be You
An attractive brunette Pem
: broke lady is in line for a Christ
j mas hair-do. She and her husband
■ make up the family and they will
! have been in Pembroke a year
come February 1960. Her husband
; would make a good football play
er, whether he played or not at
jhis University of Georgia Alma
Mater. Their hobby now is square
; dancing but he is also an ardent
j hunter and has several very good
dogs. He is connected with a
!branch of agriculture.
Oddly enough their home is way
। up in North Georgia, exactly where
' a Pembroke man rules as mayor
: and operates a newspaper.
If this lady will call HELEN’S
'BEAUTY SHOP, 3-2171, and
(identify herself, an appointment
I will be made for a complimentary
j shampoo and set.

To Observe 86th
Birthday on
Christmas Eve
4 I
t ' The Pembroke Journal and many
> other friends salute a fine gentle
man as he begins a new year in
the long span of his life.
On Christmas Eve, I. G. Lanier
will observe his 86th birthday at
his home in the Ash Branch com
munity where the family has lived I
। for many years.
। With Mr. Lanier on this im- I
portant occasion will be his wife, |
। who at 81, keeps house for her |
husband, as she has done for more :
than the 50 years of their life to- I
’ gether. Their three daughters and
| their families will also be at the
farm home for the day, which Mr.
. Lanier wil take in his usual calm
stride. Their daughters are Mrs.
Tom (Ivelyn) Gregory, Atlanta; ,
Mrs. Hartridge (Mary Will)
Shearouse, Springfield; and Mrs.
Helen Graham, Pembroke.
Mr. and Mrs. Lanier take part
in the activities of their community
and county and are among the
most respected and beloved citizens
of Bryan County. At this year's
annual Farm Bureau meeting Mr.
Lanier was given an honorary ,
membership in the Bryan County '
Chapter because of the far-sighted
farmers who attended a meeting
many years ago to investigate the
organization of a Bryan County
Farm Bureau Chapter, Mr. La
neir is the only one living. Mr.
Lanier has been a farmer all of
his life and still follows progres
j sive methods in the operation of
j his land.
He and Mrs. Lanier are mem
bers of the Pembroke Methodist
Church, the former aho being at
one time on Lie Board of County
Commissioners.
Mr. Lanier's manner, bearing,
personality and outlook on life be
lie his years, having at the same
time a dignity and delightful sense
of humor that make him such good
company. Although retirement is
about to catch up with him, he
takes a dim view of the circum
stance.
The Journal feels that Bryan
County is fortunate in having a
citizen like Mr. Lanier and it is a
pleasure to pay him tribute. May
he have many happy returns of
the day is the Pembroke Journal’s
wish for him.
MRS. I. G. LANIER
RETURNS HOME
FROM HOSPITAL
The many friends so Mrs. I. G.
Lanier are delighted that her
physician has released her from
the Savannah hospital where she
has been for the past several
day.s
Mrs. Lanier was admitted to
| Memorial Hospital for a thorough
examination, so that doctors could
find out the cause of the trouble
from which she has been suffering
for some time.
Her family and friends are
happy that Mrs. Lanier will be at
home for Christmas and hope the
stay in the hospital will result in
the proper treatment being given
so that during the New Year she
I will enjoy better health.
