The only thing that irked me
one bit about the ride up; Dale
a stickler for the law, kept me
right on fifty miles per hour as
the signs said. While / poked
| along at fifty miles, being eau
toned by him every other breath,
cars whizzed by us doing / know
seventy or better. While l be-
lieve in doing what the law says,
1t should apply to all and not just
Rose Budd on her way to a good
time.
Bill and Juanita Hight opened
their home and hearts to us and
truly we enjoyed every minute of
our stay. Red rose buds were in
our room, roses were my corsage
for the speaking at the Business
Mems Club. Ladies night saw the
men paying honor to their ladies.
There was good crowd to eat
turkey and dressing along with
the fixings, prepared by Mrs. c..
E. Riley. Every lady was pinned
with corsage of fall flowers and
given lovely bud vase as a gift.
After the speaking we were in
vlted to the pretty home of Will
and Ruth Breed for visit. Both
of the Breeds came from Amite
County and we had fun chatting
| about people we both knew.
After breakfast of home cured
sausage and bacon with hot bis
cults Dale went to the Winston
County paper office while Bill and
| Juanlta took me on tour of the
town. The highlight was visit
to the Baptist Church; and if you
drive through Louisville do take
| time to visit this church. From
the huge kitchen, complete with
dishwasher, steel tables, double
glass doored refrigerator, Sunday
School rooms that can be divided
with leather doors. soft sofas and
easy chairs in the Railways, and
muralS on the walls in the halls.
to the complete choir rooms, the
church is a beauty. The best was
saved until last; the church prop
er.
Done in soft shades of wine and
rose with some white it is Just
beautiful. The lights can be con-
| trolled and different effects
achieved. The carpet is wall to
wall and SO soft. no sound to mar
the beauty, Of worship. The
benches are white and mahogany
! giving the whole a sense of there
lis where I'd like to hear God s

L. On our way home we visited in
Madison with the. George Craw-
fords for a few minutes; the
chickens and COWS were glad to
have regular hands tend to them
that night
May | have my say about the
pro and con that is going on over
the good and evil of the Justice OF
Peace of the State. | am not for
or against them. When voting
/ time came l voted for tn emen
i thought would make the best ones
IN our district. We have two, Mr.
Huston Smith and a Mr.. Honey.
| have had no dealings with a
JP except the time l served on
a coronor's jury at the summons
OF one and never did get my dol
lar; for great while that was a
sore spot, but can never carry a
grudge and all is forgiven.
This | do know as long as
our Highway Patrolmen are going
\ to operate radar spots over the
state it is a<blessing to have a JF
right by the side of the Highway
| to take the fine money. In oul
i district our JP'S live way off ir
the country far from the mair
highways, and | know there would
have been some mighty made dou.
BILE, triple mad) folks week before

two miles. turn to the left, 60 two
