59 years as a barber
Bill and Tom; three grandsons, and one granddaughter. Something woke me up at about three o'clock Thursday morning. At first I couldn't place the sound. Then realized that it was rain! I got up and looked out the upstairs window for a few minutes, enjoying the sight and sound. Then I went back to bed and enjoyed the sound of the rain on the tin roof. . . . Some people in town recorded a half an inch of rain at that time. Norris says he recorded half of an inch on Hill Street. . There is a rumor that the Artichoke Mustard Pickle cooks at the Episcopal Church are contemplating retiring.

Six Washington-Wilkes businesses bought spots on the Augusta channel and have already seen great results from them. The businesses are Petal Pushers Christmas, Georgia Realty, Fievet's, Bee Southern, City of Washington museums), and Wilkes County Tourism. I've seen the Petal Pushers one and it is very good. . . Bradley and Katherine Barber of Old South Marketing created the commercials. . Sunday, November 25, is the longawaited Messiah program presented by the Washington Chorale at the First Baptist Church under the direction of Shirley Gunter. Time is eight o'clock; admission is free; and seats will go very fast. Be warned. . Oleta and Hoppy McAvoy stopped in Chattanooga, Tenn., to spend the night on their return trip visiting friends in the Mid-Western states. At breakfast the next morning they were surprised to see Allan and Sharlene Zima also of Washington- Wilkes. The Zimas are newcomers to Washington. They live in the house across the street from Dave and Laura Toburen on South Alexander Avenue. . Who but Hoppy and Oleta McAvoy would pick turnip greens fresh out of the garden; wash them; cook them; and then deliver them to friends!! Thanks, Hoppy and Oleta. . The Wilkes County unit of the Salvation Army is beginning its annual bell-ringing to call attention to the Christmas collection kettles located at Ingles and Bi-Lo. Bellringers are needed.

His comment was, "One of these days we're going to have a big storm, and I'm going to be ready." . . . And here we are in the midst of the biggest drought that we've had in 100 years. .
