Our fall festival was a big success. We'll tell you all about it next week after a little rest. I know the cold weather really made the soup sell. The weather was perfect for festival. Congratulations to Rosalyn Adams for being the winner of the beautiful quilt. The winner of the hooked rug was Ouida Maney. Saturday was a day that everyone enjoyed visiting with people they see only once a year at the festival. It's like a reunion.

We still need to keep him in our prayers. There will be a barbecue benefit held for Jerry on November 18 at the school gym. We are sorry to hear that due to lack of business our produce market will be open only two Saturdays a month. They will be open on the
first and third Saturdays. Let's give them some business so they will stay. Beulah Baptist Church will be having a revival from November 12 through 15 at 7 p.m. with Rev. Tony Lee bringing the message each night and Rev. Tim Adams leading the music. At the festival Winifred Morgan asked that I put some little anecdote of my teaching days in the paper. He says he looks at the Tignall news section every week looking for something about my students. For those of you who have read my book, you will have heard this: Kristina said, after I had asked why she needed to go to the rest room so often, "I have kiddie problems." Leah Riordan piped up with, "Once when I was in the first grade I had kidneys too, and I didn't even tell anybody."
