In order to register, they had to first be “identified” as residents of the county by previously registered voters.

On March 6, 1954, C.C.

When I was in col-lege, there was a song outthat people couldn’t helpbut smile when theyheard it. If they triedsinging it, it was impossi-ble not to take its words toheart and feel them. Youprobably know the song;you may have even sungit. The song was BobbyMcFerrin’s “Don’t Worry,Be Happy.”

My sister, Abbie, ab-solutely loves that song.She even loves my old bro-ken down voice singing adifferent version of thesong I came up with:“Don’t Worry, Be Abbie.”

Believe me, I amprobably one of thebiggest worrywarts in theworld and I know thatGod did not intend for usto be like that. Jesus toldus “Take therefore no

thought for the morrow:for the morrow shall takethought for the things ofitself. Sufficient unto theday is the evil thereof.”Matthew 6:34 In otherwords, he was telling us,“Don’t worry, be happy.”

With the cares of theworld encompassing usand threatening to stran-gle us, sometimes we haveto step back and think ifwhat we are worryingabout is really worth ourtime. Is it just FEAR –False Evidence Appear-ing Real? The majority ofthe time, I’ve discoveredthat many things are notworth worrying aboutand I don’t need themcrowding and cloudingmy mind.

We should just handour cares to Jesus and“Don’t Worry, Be Happy.”

Over the past sever-al weeks you may havenoticed our lights on inour office on Range Av-enue until late at night.Well, there was a goodreason. This past Mon-day, October 17th,marked the final dead-line for the filing of2010 individual tax re-turns on extension.

As I met with clientafter client to reviewtheir tax situation, I re-alized most individualsare not aware of theirtax rate and its impor-tance in possibly sav-ing big tax dollars.This realization bringsto light the million dol-lar question for you.

Do you know yourmarginal tax rate?More importantly, doyou know your real taxrate? They are not thesame, and knowing thedifference can be criti-cal to effective tax plan-ning.

The U.S. individualincome tax system isbased on six tiers ofrates: 10%, 15%, 25%,28%, 33%, and 35%. Acommon misconcep-tion is that a taxpayerfalls into just one ofthese brackets. But ac-tually if someone’s in-come is high enough,their tax bill could beaffected by all six. Thisis because the tax sys-tem is graduated,meaning the first tax-able dollars are taxedat the lowest rates first,then move up the scaleuntil the marginal rateis reached.

Your marginal rateis the rate you will payon your next dollar oftaxable income. Yourreal tax rate (alsocalled your effectivetax rate) is the actualpercent of tax you payon your taxable in-come.

For example, the10% rate is assessed ontaxable income from $1to $8,500 (if filing sin-gle in 2011). The 15%bracket covers incomefrom $8,501 to $34,500.If your taxable incomeis $30,000, your margin-al (i.e., top tier) tax rateis 15%, but your realtax will be less becausethe first $8,500 of in-come is taxed at 10%.

Here’s another ap-proach. Think of taxbrackets as a row ofbuckets with one buck-et for each bracket.Your income fills thelowest-rate bucketfirst, then the nextbucket, then the next.Each bucket of incomeis taxed at its own spe-cific rate. Entering thenext bucket does notcause all your incometo be taxed at the newrate, only the amountthat flows over fromthe previous bucket.Your “top tax bracket”is the last bucket thathas income in it, andthat’s your marginalrate at which the nextdollar you earned willbe taxed.

There are otherfactors that can affectreal tax rate. Personalexemptions and item-ized or standard deduc-

tions can lower taxableincome and therebylower one’s overallrate. Conversely, un-earned income such asinterest and dividendsmight raise a taxpayerto a higher bracket.And some types of in-come are taxed differ-ently from earnedincome. Long-termcapital gains are taxedat 15% unless your or-dinary income taxbracket is 10% or 15%,in which case long-term capital gains arenot taxed at all.

Here’s the point.Knowing where yourincome is in relation tothe six brackets canmake a big differencein keeping your realtax rate as low as possi-ble.

Say for exampleyour taxable income issitting at $83,600, whichis the top of the single25% tax bracket. Thenext dollar you earnabove that figure (up to$174,400) will be taxedat your marginal rateof 28%. So if the tim-ing of a future receiptof income is withinyour control, such asfrom a pending busi-ness contract, considerdeferring the income tonext year. Anotherstrategy might be to re-duce taxable interestincome by keepingmoney in a tax-exemptinvestment instead of ataxable one.

Or consider movingsavings into Series EEsavings bonds, wheretax on the interest isdeferred. You mightalso invest in longer-term CDs which pay in-terest in the next taxyear. Or defer takingthe short-term capitalgains until next year.

On the other handif your income is justabove a certain taxbracket, your strategymight be to look for de-ductions that will bringyour income back downinto the lower bracket.Options include suchsteps as contributingthe maximum allowedto your 401(k) plan,your SEP, or your SIM-PLE retirement plan.Another possibility ismaking a deductibleIRA contribution foryou and your spouse.

With the economycausing many house-hold incomes to varysignificantly from yearto year, watching yourmarginal tax bracket ismore important thanever.

Although apples areavailable year round,fall is the time of yearthat apples are ripe forpicking. Many varietiesripen in late summer,but since October is inthe middle of the pick-ing season, it is desig-nated as national applemonth, so thought Iwould share some factsabout apples. Apples areamong the most popularfruit eaten by Ameri-cans, it ranks up therebeside banana as themost often eaten fruit. Asurvey conducted in re-cent years by the U.S.Apple Association re-vealed consumer eat onaverage 16.4 pounds offresh apples and 33pounds of processed ap-ple each year. Appleproducts include applejuice, cider, dried,frozen, canned, babyfood, apple jelly andvinegar.

Apples have existedfor centuries; it is be-lieved they originatedin the mountainousarea between the Blackand Caspian Seas. It isthought the people ofthis region migrated toEurope, Persia and In-dia, taking apples alongwith them. Ancienthistory showed Greeksgrew apples in the 3rdcentury B.C. Applegrowing was also popu-lar during the fifteenthcentury of the ItalianRenaissance. Franceand England becamedominate apple grow-ing countries in Eu-rope well into the1800s.

Exports of fresh ap-ples are estimated to be40 million bushels eachyear. This accounts for27% of the total cropgrown in the U.S. and ithas risen over the pastdecade due to an in-crease of disposable in-come in other countries.Leading markets for U.S.apples are Mexico, Cana-da, Indonesia, HongKong, England and In-dia.

Believe it or not, ac-cording to the U.S. AppleAssociation, apples aregrown in every state inthe United States. Topproducing states areWashington, New York,Michigan, Pennsylvaniaand Virginia. A week-end drive north will get

you into the apple coun-ty of Georgia and NorthCarolina, there you willfind many varieties.Two varieties that canbe grown in north Flori-da are Anna and DorsettGold. If you would liketo try your hand at grow-ing apples, we have a UFExtension publicationtailored to apples vari-eties in Florida.

Can you guess howmany varieties of applesare grown in the UnitedStates? A few you say,well guess again – thereare 2,500 varieties withthe top 10 being the fa-miliar ones you see inthe store: Red Delicious,Golden Delicious, Fuji,Granny Smith, Rome,McIntosh, York, Idaredand Jonathan.

They say an apple aday keeps the doctoraway because apples arevery nutritious. A medi-um apple is only 80 calo-ries, it is fat free, anexcellent source of solu-ble fiber which helps re-duce cholesterol. Applesare a convenient snackfood that can be carriedalong and eaten at anytime. Don’t overlook us-ing apples in your fa-vorite recipes or findnew ones to add interestto your meals. They addflavor to salads, can becooked with vegetablesfor interesting side dish-es and make greatdesserts.

Florida heat isn’tthe best condition for ap-ple storage, they prefercool conditions. Applescan be stored at roomtemperature if you planto eat them within aweek. For longer stor-age, the fruit and veg-etable bin in yourrefrigerator is the bestplace.

A Song From MyCollege Years

Kaomi Ghent, one of several speakers at theRefuge House – Madison Outreach, Oct. 7, wanted tocreate something positive out of her personal expe-rience with domestic violence in the past; that iswhy she came forward that evening on the court-house lawn to tell her story.

Contrary to the story in the Oct. 19 Carrier,Ghent did not say that she herself thought domesticviolence happened to only poor and uneducatedwomen, but that society in general thought that thiswas the case. Also, she does not yet have her B.A. inclinical psychology, but is currently working on itand will graduate with it from St. Leo University inMay of 2012.

We would like to assure Ms. Ghent and readersthat any misrepresentation of her remarks was un-intentional, and wish her the best of luck in herstudies at St. Leo University and in her endeavors tocreate something positive and enduring for otherwomen who have shared her experience.

Jail Report

Madison County…

Companies with cash have been reluctant tocreate jobs because of the uncertainties regard-ing issues such as future benefit expenses andtax increases. A modern day “parable” has beenoffered by Steve Huneke, The Positive Outlookcolumn, October Issue of the Southern Farmand Livestock Directory.“Six friends would get together every week

for drinks and a meal at a restaurant. Theywould divide the bill up proportionately accord-ing to how much money everyone made. Thecost would always end up divided something likethis: $40.00, $20.00, $10.00, $5.00, $1.00 and $0.00.Of course you can tell these friends had a widevariation of occupations and salaries and onewas jobless, but still they were all happy to paytheir FAIR SHARE!“As time went on, the bottom three salaries

and non-income earner’s money shares stayedthe same - but they kept on asking for more fromthe top two people in their group. For a while,this was O.K. but the top two were getting irri-tated because one of the bottom four people wasnot even working, even though able, and takingsome benefits from the Government, which wasreally just the top two earners tax money.“One day they all voted again on share cost

and the bottom four voted for increases to the toptwo again. The next week, the top two guys did-n’t show up; they went elsewhere (overseas for abetter deal). Nobody could eat without them.”What does this story tell us? “We have to

share some wealth and taxes and take care ofpeople who can’t take care of themselves. ‘Able’people need to work, and people in jail and thepenitentiary need to work also.”

WHAT NOW?A “Jobs Bill”, of course! This will put ever

so many people to work on projects to repair in-frastructure, etc. Oh Yeah? (President Obama’s$140 billion in infrastructure spending wouldtake a long time to get into the contract pipeline,with NO permanent impact on job creation.)Also, who would be the employer? The U.S. Gov-ernment, of course. Who will be paying thesalaries? More IOUs passed on to our childrenand grandchildren and whatever further taxescan be squeezed out of the rest of us who do notwant to relocate overseas.This brings to mind Gibson Guitar being en-

couraged to relocate overseas to avoid furthergovernment persecution by the Department ofJustice. The DOJ believes it is illegal for Gibsonto finish its guitars in the United States, provid-ing Americans with jobs, using wood from a sus-tainable crop in India that is industry certified.Apparently the Indian government did not see itthe same way as the DOJ, as they had not re-quested American intervention against Gibson.

JOB CREATIONThe Obama administration speaks and acts

“...as if the government need only add a bit morewater and fertilizer to make the American gar-den bloom with lush and vital employment”.(John Haywood, Daily Events)

day; the lighting will take place at 6 p.m. Organiza-tions planning to have a tree in the event may con-tact the Chamber.She also announced that the Madison County

School District is presenting an anti-bullying cam-paign featuring a Run, Walk, and Roll Against Bul-lying race and a Family Fun Day on Saturday,October 29, from 9 a.m. through noon downtown.They will set up an information booth, and specialspeakers will include a former bully and his target.The commissioners voted to leave the trees on

Hancock Street since they are live trees on city prop-erty. Cary Hardee had lodged a complaint that hisemployees’ vehicles were being damaged by limbsand pine cones from the trees. However, former CityManager Harold Emrich said, “People who parkthere are on city property. Stanley added, “That isnot a parking place.”The board instructed Schnitker to send a letter

to Hardee informing him of their decision to take noaction.

Madison law, to not only register herself to vote, butalso to identify other African American citizens aswell, allowing them to register.Thus began the process of voter registration for

African American citizens in the county.However, the backlash against Matheny was im-

mediate; he was dismissed from his position as aschool administrator less than two weeks later, andhis family suffered, in more personal ways, the ire ofsome members of the community. Later, with the help of an attorney, Matheny was

able to regain employment with the school district,but as a teacher rather than an administrator.The County Commission wished to acknowl-

edge Matheney, who once stated that he “believed itwas the right thing to do” when he changed thecourse of history in 1950s Madison.“God is pleased with good things,” said Jones, in

concluding her story.The Matheny family owned a farm on the road

now known as Delphinium Road.

The Junior Auxil-iary held the first week-end of their IndoorGarage Sale Oct. 7 and 8,bringing in just over$1000, said Kara Wash-ington, JA member andone of the volunteersconducting the “pre-sale” Friday eveningfrom 6 to 8 p.m. Wash-ington estimated that be-tween 20 and 25 peopleshowed up at the pre-saleand about 65 to 70 attend-ed the big main sale thenext morning from 8a.m. until noon. The fol-lowing Saturday was notas busy, said Washing-ton, but the Junior Aux-iliary managed to finishup with a little over $1200for both weekends. Allremaining items wereloaded up and donated toarea thrift shops, and all

the proceeds from thetwo weekends of salesgo to Kids in Crisis, anemergency fund that fo-cuses on kids, but helpsentire families in emer-gency situations.

The Junior Auxil-iary is also still conduct-ing their annual Coatsand Warm Blankets dri-ve; several locationsaround town, includingWe Insure Florida,Madison County Com-munity Bank, Wells Far-go (formerly Wacovia)the Busy Bee, Fellow-ship Baptist Church,Odiorne Insurance andAmeriprise Financialare still receiving dona-tions of coats, warmclothing and blanketsfor those in need, andwill continue to take indonations through theend of October. With thetemperatures already

dropping, these itemswill become more andmore important in thedays ahead, and the JAwill be working with theschools to spread theword and locate chil-dren and families inneed of warm clothing.They will also be work-ing with the Madison Se-nior Center to locateseniors in need.

In the comingmonths, they will bebusy preparing Thanks-giving baskets, workingwith ConsolidatedChristian Ministries tolocate families whowouldn’t otherwise havea good Thanksgivingmeal.

For Christmas, theyplan to go caroling at thenursing homes, and thiswill also be the finalChristmas they will beable to help decorate the

With that in mind,the JA and other organi-zations will be doingtheir best to make thisfinal year a memorableone for Mansion visi-tors, encouraging every-one to make plans tocome out this Christmasand enjoy the beautifulMansion with its hallsdecked out in VictorianYuletide glory, before itsdoors have to be closed.

On Tuesday, Oct.11th, anyone who ate atShelby’s got a huge sur-prise. Those who wentwould have been as-tounded to see all of thenew waiters and wait-resses serving. They alsomight have been puzzledas to why these newwaiters looked striking-ly similar to many ofMadison’s most famousresidents.

The reason is be-cause they WERE manyof Madison’s most fa-mous residents and theywere there to support agreat cause. The occa-sion was the United Wayof the Big Bend’s annualCelebrity Waiter Event,which raises money fornational charities. Thisyear’s event was theirbiggest success yet,thanks entirely to thekindness of the Madisoncommunity.

In previous years theevent has been held atKens, but this year Shel-by’s was home to the out-standing event. Therewere so many people inattendance that thosetrying to find a parkingspot at Shelby’s mighthave had to park underthe large oak tree severalyards behind the build-ing. This year’s event notonly met the UnitedWay’s goal, it surpassedit.

The goal for thisyear’s event was $1,500,which was nearly $500more than last yearsevent. The nights endingtotal was $1,563, a whop-ping 50% increase fromlast year’s amount. TheUnited Way raised thismoney through tips andselling homemadedesserts.

The whopping in-crease in the amountthey raised also had todo with the cake auctionthe group held through-out the night. Local resi-dents and politiciansmade bids on differentcakes during the night.The lucky guests whobid the highest got totake home the cake.

This year’s celebri-ties included HowardPhillips, David Aber-crombie, Jada Williams,Mark Buescher, Dr. Stu-art Steiger, MickieSalter, Sheriff Ben Stew-art, Ethyl Barefoot,Janet Meir, Ed Meggs,Megan Earnhardt, CathyBass, Dianne Sullivan,Alfred Martin, LouMiller, Willy Gamelero,Jackie Johnson, CherylAbercrombie, CrystalLee, Cindy Vees, VickieHowerton, Chief of Po-lice Gary Calhoun andJim Catron.

Another plus to thenight were the manydesserts that were avail-able. The amazing cakeswere provided by RosaRichardson, MarkBuescher, Jackie John-son, Cheryl Abercrom-bie, Jim Catron andVicki Howerton. CathyBass brought bananapudding. Kim Halfhillbrought peach cobbler.Heather Wilson, CarolRusso and StephanieCarrol brought cup-cakes. Matt Webbbrought chocolate chipcookies.

United Way wouldlike to thank MadisonCounty for all of its sup-port and a special thanksto everyone who attend-ed the event.

Professional Rehabilitation and Skilled Nursing Facility

Providing Short-Term RehabLong-Term Care

By Kristin FinneyGreene Publishing, Inc.

To find a glimmer of hope during a dark time is atrue blessing, and Edna Brookins was able to find thatsilver lining during some of the darkest hours in herlife. Through the help of God, her family and herfriends, she was able to overcome one of the toughestbattles imaginable.

After feeling a lump on her breast, Brookins wentto the doctor to get a mammogram. The results of thattest called for her to get a biopsy. Then on July 2, 2009Edna Brookins was given the news that she had breastcancer.

“On that day I had a second biopsy on anotherlump on the opposite side of the same breast. Surgerywas set for a lumpectomy with Sentinel Node Biopsyfor July 10. They removed the lump and 14 lymphnodes during that surgery. They told me three dayslater that all the lymph nodes and the second lump

tested positive for cancer. Another surgery wasscheduled for July 20 to do a mastectomy. During thatsurgery they removed the remainder of the breastand 26 more lymph nodes. I was told I had InfiltratingDuctal Carcinoma and it was Stage 3¬C,” saidBrookins.

On August 28, 2009, after going through severaldoctor appointments with her Oncologist and othertraining and information sessions, she was scheduledto begin her Chemotherapy infusion. “Over the nextseveral months I had infusions every three weeksof two different Chemotherapies and every weekof another infusion,” she recalled. She re-ceived her last infusion of Chemotherapy onDecember 9, 2009. Then on December 28, 2009she started the first of 33 radiation treat-ments. The radiation treatments were pre-formed every week, Monday thru Friday.

“On March 26, 2010 I was declaredCANCER FREE. I still see my Oncologistto check for any after effects of the Chemotreatments. But knowing I have my God, myfamily and my praying friends, makes anyof those easier to handle. I thank Godevery day for the works he hasdone in my life and the peo-ple he has put in my life tobring me to the point ofsaying I have been CAN-CER FREE for one and ahalf years now!,” sheshared.

When asked what

kept her going, and gave her the strength to fight thismonster, Brookins said, “My faith in God was thebiggest thing that kept me going. I knew He was therewith me and would hold me and lead me in the rightpaths. My family was my greatest support and my rea-son for fighting. It really helped that my parents, mysister, my four brothers and all their families live inthe Madison County or Lowndes County area. I alsohad a fantastic prayer team from all over the world.

One of the good things about being in themilitary and moving around.”

As for the hardest part of her bat-tle, “The scariest part of this was notknowing exactly what was going tohappen to my body. They told us dur-ing the training sessions, thingsthat could happen but of course,could not tell us which ones wewould encounter. They are scaryenough when they tell you buteven more when they start hap-pening to you. The most upsettingto me was losing my hair. I didn’t

Friday, October 21, 2011

On an October day in 1911, a baby girl, RachelTownsend Smith, was born in one of the bedroomsof the family home on Livingston Street. One hun-dred years later, in that same house, Rachel, nowRachel Reichmann, with a long lifetime of memo-ries, turned 100.

On that Saturday afternoon of October 15, alarge bright orange jack-o-lantern faced the streetwith a big grin for passers-by, standing out againstthe bright white house. Halloween was only a cou-ple of weeks away, in spite of the fact that the warm,pleasant afternoon was more like early summerthan mid-October already.

Inside the cool living room with pale mint greenwalls and flowers everywhere, “Miss Rachel” sat ina chair and greeted guests as they arrived to say hel-lo and wish her a happy birthday. It was a drop-inreception from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. and a steady streamof visitors arrived with cards, hugs and kisses.

“I told Miss Rachel I didn’t think I’d ever been toa 100th birthday party before,” said Vicki Howerton,one of the many guests. “And she said ‘that’s okay, Ihaven’t either.’”

After about two hours, Miss Rachel’s daughter,Raye Wooley, estimated that at least 200 people hadbeen by to see Miss Rachel already. A long lifetimeof friends from church, from the town of Madisonand from out-of-town. Old friends who hadn’t seeneach other in years, met again at Miss Rachel’shouse. Daughter Raye was pleasantly delighted torun into several people she had gone to school with,and everywhere there was laughter, smiles, em-braces and excited voices catching up on the news.

Here also, was a century’s worth of family mem-bers that now included great-grandchildren, at leasttwo of them now young adults in their 20s.

The highlight of the celebration, other thansinging “Happy Birthday” to Miss Rachel, was whenJoe Peavy, former sheriff of Madison County and alongtime family friend, read aloud a proclamationfrom the Governor of the State of Florida, RickScott.

Recognizing the contribution elders have madeto the State of Florida, the history they have wit-nessed and help shape, as well as the rare achieve-ment of reaching the century mark, Gov. Scott’sproclamation praised and congratulated Miss

Rachel on her 100th birthday. Miss Rachel, a Florida native, has indeed wit-

nessed a lot of history; her family had owned andoperated the landmark Smith Drug Store for severalgenerations by the time she was born, the oldestdrug store continuously owned by the same familyin the entire state. When she arrived in 1911, AlbertGilchrist was the Governor of Florida. Since then,there have been 24 more state governors betweenGov. Gilchrist and the current Gov. Rick Scott.

A framed copy of Gov. Scott’s proclamation lat-er sat on a nearby table among several vases of flow-ers.

Twice widowed, Miss Rachel lost her first hus-band, Nat Norfleet, to a farming accident, and twoyears later, her son, Nat Norfleet, Jr., died ofleukemia. While working in the drug store and run-ning the family business to support her threeteenaged children, she fell in love again and mar-ried Kirby Reichmann, who passed away severalyears later.

Miss Rachel grew up in the Presbyterianchurch, and was very active in civic organizations,serving as president of the Woman’s Club at threedifferent points in time. Family, friends, church andcommunity have always been very important in herlong life.

Eventually, her two adult daughters, Raye Woo-ley and Nell Ring, came back to the family home afew years ago to look after their mother.

About halfway through the afternoon’s birthdaycelebration, Miss Rachel was too tired to sit up anylonger, but she continued greeting a steady streamof company from a comfortable recliner in a cozyden in the back, smiling as one of her four adultgrandsons performed the “Gator chop” for her–Miss Rachel is a huge Gator fan – and smilingagain as all four of them gathered around and play-fully vied for her attention while other family mem-bers laughed and took photos.

Near the end of the celebration, there was still atable full of food left, and one of the two huge pink-and-white-frosted sheet cakes still had not been cut.Despite the large numbers of people who dropped byall afternoon, there had been plenty for everyone;nobody went home hungry.

Late in the afternoon, as people were goinghome, Raye was urging them to take a piece of cakewith them.

But whether they went home stuffed with cakeor whether they just nibbled a little, they went homewith memories of a pleasant October afternoonspent in the company of friends. They came to helpa dear friend celebrate a milestone birthday and leftwith admiration for a grand lady.

As they left, one of the small great grandchil-dren picked up the grinning jack-o-lantern in frontof the house. A lot of Halloweens have come andgone for generations of children in this familyhome; a lot of Christmases, a lot of birthdays a lot ofEasters. Memories have been made there, liveslived, families formed, new generations begun…andRachel Reichmann has seen it all.

Happy 100th birthday, Miss Rachel!

Psalm 8:4: “What is man thatThou art mindful of him? and theson of man, that Thou visiteth him?”

Verse 1 of “The Christian Life”“Rise up, o Man of God; Have

done with lesser things; Give heartand mind and soul and strength toserve the King of Kings.”

Men of Great Faith – and prayersfor “The Gentle Giant,” Mike Woodsand family – for the family of Mr. TroyRhoades whom Preacher Reynolds ofMacedonia called “God’s Man” be-cause he was always ready to see andmeet needs of all kinds anywhere, anytime, for anyone – for the family of Mr.Simon Kinsey, likewise “God’s Man”of great faith, of his love for hischurch – Lee Baptist, of his prayingfor everyone. Marjell and I stopped tospeak to him in front of their houseand, as we drove off, he called to us tostop; he’d forgotten to pray for us. Healways answered when asked how hewas, “Better than I deserve.” For allthe men of our church – the old, theyoung and all in between – we couldname them one by one – for all goodmen everywhere.

Morning church was great as webegan by singing “Nobody Fills MyHeart Like Jesus” and “No GreaterLove.” Then we were truly blessed asJustin Davis sang “The Lily of theValley,” seated, surrounded by theChildren 1 and Children 2 SundaySchool Class Choir, and as they sang“The Books of the Bible” and“Everybody Ought to Know.” Teach-ers are Martha Beggs, who pinned onBrooke Joiner a 10-year perfect at-tendance pin. Bless her as her moth-er, Leslie, and grandmother, LizSullivan, were present and thanksfor their faithfulness in getting herto Sunday School), Martha Registerand Amy Kendrick.

Doug Finney prayed a touchingprayer for offertory and Lynn andOrchestra played “Shout to theLord.” Jim talked about their special“Use Me” with Shellie Smith andDavid Fries singing special parts.

The Laws were back and his mes-sage was about “The Lord’s Supper.”Who? Where? When? Why? WhatWay? Jesus said, “As oft as you do it,do it in remembrance of me!” What aprice He paid! How much God lovedus to give His most precious Gift –the Gift of His Son – the Only Son!

We are thankful for all newborns– boys or girls or boys and girls.

Reports of the blessings of theFields of Faith last Wednesday nightand the testimonies of some youngpeople – of Cammie Frakes of ourchurch. Bless her and all young peo-ple and help them live acceptablelives all their lives because only thethings done for Christ will last.

Remember to pack Christmasshoeboxes.

“The Three Bridges” will per-form in morning service Oct. 30 andafterwards, we’ll have lunch atchurch. Come and share.

Founder’s Day Saturday at Hick-ory Grove was big and good! We werevery happy Nita and Berk were hometo share with us.

Blessings on Mrs. Rachel Reich-mann these days past her 100th won-derful birthday celebration eventhough she didn’t run a certain raceas 100-year-old Fauja Singh did!

Remember to always have an atti-tude of gratitude as we say thanks toGod and to others. Amen! I also wantto say thanks for a little boy (LilJess) as anxious to go to school Mon-day he got down the steps before herealized he’d forgotten to put hisshoes on! We laughed about that!

Harvey Pickles was born and raised in Lee, and has spent most of his lifewithin a 35 mile radius of his birthplace.

Born in 1933, the only child of Madison natives George and Mamie Pickles,his earliest memories are from when he was about three or four years old, try-ing to help pick cotton and crop tobacco; the sharp edges of the cotton bollswould cut his fingers, but “we didn’t know what gloves were,” says Pickles.They were poor, but then, so was everyone else they knew; maybe the peoplethey sharecropped for were a little better off, but in general, no one knew of anyother way of life at the time. As he puts it, “You don’t miss what you’ve neverhad.”

His family lived in a log cabin about three miles south of Lee, where his fa-ther worked as a sharecropper for Till Webb; the cabin had a wooden-shingledroof with gaps through which he could see moonlight at night. “When it rained,you had to slide your bed over and set out the pots.”

There were also no pencils or paper to spare for schooling, so Pickles’ moth-er taught him his letters and numbers writing with a stick on a patch ofsmooth, bare ground. Thanks to his mother’s efforts, by the time he started firstgrade at Enterprise Public School on 255, he already knew enough of readingand writing to finish first grade in half the term. His teacher, JeanieWadsworth, promoted him to second grade for the second half of the schoolyear.

After he finished third grade, his mother became too sick to handle theheavy work, so Pickles dropped out of school to help. Since everything fromcooking to heating to washing required a fire, he was wielding an axe at eightyears old, chopping the necessary firewood. Again, he though nothing about it;that was just the way things were at the time.

Soon afterward, he was working for J.C. Black as a farm hand, earning $5 aweek. At age 12, he was doing farm work fulltime, making $2 a day, hoeingpeanuts and cropping tobacco. At 13, he was plowing with the tractor.

His biggest thrill from that time was the once-a-year trip into Madison tosee all the beautiful toys in the Van H. Priest Dime Store. Cap pistols were a

dime, and a roll of caps was a nickel. If you foundthat in your stocking Christmas morning, alongwith an apple, an orange, some brazil nuts andmaybe some candy, “you just had yourself a reallybig Christmas!”

Back in Lee, there was the McCall’s Grocery(later became the Ace Hardware store) where fami-lies would drive up and park their wagons for a Sat-urday afternoon of shopping for that week’sessentials; one of Pickles’ favorite places to visitwas S.E. Whitty’s for ice cream and five-cent comicbooks. Superman, from the first issue, all the wayup through volume100, Batman and Robin – he col-lected all the old favorites. He had a huge box ofthem that he threw out in June of 1956 when he fellin love and married Maude Graham. The housewas small, they needed the space, and he neverdreamed that people would one day pay hundredsof dollars for old Superman comic books.

The first movie he ever saw was when Swan’sTheater had a free day close to election time. He re-members seeing Tom Mix in black and white, andbeing totally fascinated by the moving images onthe screen. Regular prices for movies were 25 cents; popcorn was five cents,drinks were five cents, and gas was ten cents a gallon. Later, when the compet-ing Woodward Theater started charging 50 cents for movies, people were aghastand said they’d never make it charging that much; however, the Woodard stayedin business “an awful long time.”

He also remembers getting 25-cent haircuts at Simon Kinsey’s barbershop.Eventually, he went to work for Madison Metal Products on the Valdosta

Highway, back when wheel covers and car body parts were made out of stain-less steel instead of plastic, and worked there for 18 years.

He and Maude had four children, Tina, Glen, Teri and Curtis, and one of thebiggest treats for the whole family was to pack a picnic basket full of food, fillup a gallon jug with ice tea, pack all the children in the station wagon and headfor the Madison drive-in theater.

“That was the big thing to do on Saturday night,” he says. Prices then were$2 a carload and it was usually a western that was playing. They would takealong mosquito coils that “smelled like oily rags burning” to keep the blood-sucking insects at bay while they watched the show.

Then, the children, content and full of food, would usually fall asleep in theback of the station wagon, leaving their parents to enjoy the movie’s ending inpeace and quiet.

Now, with seven grandchildren and five great-children, Pickles sometimesworries a little about the bits of knowledge that get lost from one generation tothe next; he knows things about survival that his children were never interest-ed in, and now realizes that “my daddy knew things that I wasn’t interested inuntil it was too late.”

People just didn’t keep records back then; whatever wasn’t handed downorally was lost.

“Remembrance of Things Past” he says, is one way to record at least someof what is still around, before it disappears forever.

Anyone interested in being interviewed for this article can call 973-4141 andmake an appointment with Kristin Finney, or may drop by Greene Publishing,Inc., any day before noon. Those interested must have lived in Madison for a largeportion of their life, and be able to recall a few things that have changed sincethen.
