Tignall News Spending the day on Saturday with Myrline Thornton was Alicia Thornton of Athens. We need to remember Vera Harper on Wednesday as she will be having eye surgery. Faye and Elgin Durham have their nine-year-old grandson, Ian Owens of Midlothian, Va., visiting with them. They have been enjoying swimming in Celeste and O'Neal Adams' pool and they visited other relatives in Tennessee. They will be taking him back home on August 28. He doesn't start to school until after Labor Day. Speaking of school, Betty Dobson went to visit with Amy and Robert Winecoff, Kierstyn and Zach, in Greer, S.C., last Thursday and went to orientation for her little two-year-old granddaughter, Kierstyn, who will be starting to school on August 21 at Southside Christian School in Greenville. Betty stayed until Sunday with the Winecoffs. After orientation, they ate at Mutt's Barbecue Place. Friday they went to Greenville Zoo, and from there to the Tailgating Party at the Bi-Lo Center. Saturday they went to Charlotte and met friends from Virginia and ate breakfast at the Cracker Barrel. They then went to Rock Hill to visit with Robert's mom, Shirley Winecoff. The Winecoffs then took both moms back to Charlotte and they ate at the Cheesecake Factory. Sounds like a very busy weekend. Margaret Fortson spent a week with her friend, Evelyn Wray, in Newton, N.C. Becky and George Dixon attended the Walker reunion at Fishing Creek Baptist Church Sunday. Also attending the reunion were Becky's sister, Cliffy Ware, and her husband Gwin of Evans, and brother, David Brown, and wife, Marianne, of Dillard. Visiting Monday and spending the night with Gloria and Layton Harris were a cousin, Donnie Henry, and his wife, Benita, of Moultrie. Curtis and Robbie Tanner came out to visit with them while their cousin was here. On Sunday afternoon there was a baby shower at Tignall Baptist Church for Lacey and Josh Fincher. Coming down especially for the shower were Rev. Dale Fincher's mother, Ernestine Fincher, and his brother Larry, and his wife, Rosemary, all of Rome. Also coming for the shower was Dale's sister, Felicia Salmon of Marietta. Larry Fincher visited with Dale during the shower. Beulah Baptist Church has been collecting school supplies for the Georgia Baptist Children's Home. This is called Christmas in August where many churches send supplies to children. Beulah Baptist Church WMU is taking orders for stainless steel knives and will send order off on September 3. Money made on this sale will go toward the Family Life Center Building Fund. Ariel Brown was baptized at Beulah Baptist Church Sunday. She is the daughter of April Brown and the granddaughter of Ben Joe and Linda Norman. The Homemakers Club went for a fun day to Clifford's to eat on Thursday, August 17. They met at the Beulah Baptist Church and went on the church bus. John Kennedy drove the bus. Those attending this outing besides John were Sally Kennedy, Edna Lamar, Mary Webster, Carol Beecher, Wilbur and Ouida Maney, Doris Rhodes, Louise Harper, Genevieve Thurmond, Betty Jean Guin, Beverly Johnson, Becky Dixon, Fay Butler, Evelyn Bunch, Louise Smith, and Celeste Adams. They did discuss getting the quilt top ready for the quilting. Gloria and Frankie Ware met Kristy and Sam Bufford in Thomson Saturday night and ate supper at Dye's Seafood Restaurant. Visiting with Sara Frances Henderson last Thursday was her grandson, Brian Henderson of Beech Island. Sara Frances took him to Clifford's for lunch to celebrate his birthday. Visiting Sara Frances on Monday was her daughter, Frances Johnson, of North Augusta. Carolyn Gammon just received a card from Madeline Poteet and really appreciated her get well wishes. Along with the card was a copy of a tonsillectomy bill her parents received when Madeline (Heard) had her tonsils out in May 1952. Her doctor was Dr. A.W. Simpson Jr. The total bill was $73.50. The operating room fee was $17.50, oxygen was $5.50, and the hospital
room was $14.00. She was in the hospital for two days with this surgery. How times have changed! Now you give them your life savings and you stay just a few hours for a tonsillectomy.
