shoppers Wednesday, store shelves

out of bread, and the Kroger store
was out of water.
Both managers of the Piggly

reported that thicr stores had good

There's only one way to rid your lawn of fire ants; Snuff \J s I
out the queen. Unfortunately, she's hidden in the depths I
of the mound. Somewhere at the end of an intricate maze |
of tunnels. Protected by thousands of workers. Doing battle with her
takes a professional fire ant killer. Like your lawn care operator. When he
sets his sights on the queen, he never misses. That's because he's armed
with AMDROf a weapon specially formulated to hit the target. Dead center. Though lethal to
all the fire ants in a mound, the ammo he uses can be applied where children, pets* or wildlife
are found. And it's biodegradable, too. If you're ready to take a shot at fire ants, make sure you
hit the bull's-eye. f lire a professional fire ant kiljer today:

A reminder of
our fraility as
human beings
“Rain, rain, go away, come again
some other day.“
Did you find yourself singing that
little tune during this past week?
The rainfall and flooding that
occurred during the week took most
of us by surprise, and we hope it
never happens like that again.
Even though property damage and
water contamination are terrible re
sults of severe weather, they are
nothing compared to someone los
ing his life. Our hearts were sad
dened to hear of lives that were lost
throughout our state during the rain
and flooding, and our prayers and
sympathies are extended to the fam
ilies.
The images brought to us through
television and the reports delivered
across radio were shocking. It
seemed as if the water would never
stop rising. Dams broke, streets
were closed and bridges were im
passable. The flood waters came,
ind all we could do was to watch.
There's nothing like severe
weather to remind us of how frail
we are as humans. We build our
roads, bridges and houses, and wc
expect them to protect us from the
elements. There are limes when we
feel that nothing can reach us or
harm us. We are invincible! But
then a simple thing like the weather
reminds us not to think too highly
of ourselves. We are not quite as
invincible as wc thought.
The comfort wc find during such
times lies in our knowledge of God.

Waters
He is not a victim of severe weather
and flooding but rather controls the
universe. Our insignificance stands
in sharp contrast to His mag
nificence. Our frailty is magnified
in the light of His strength.
