Drew Advance July 26, 1910: I was too busy to report last week and some of my news may be a little old but will send it on. Our singing class was invited to sing the second Saturday at New Hope in Bradley County. They went in wagons to the river, crossed in boats and were met there by wagons and carried out to the church. All report a fine dinner and a pleasant trip. Mrs. S. K. Ozment who has been an invalid for years died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. John Knowles. "Aunt Sook" as she was known, has been a member of the Methodist Church for years and was a devoted Christian. She leaves four children and a number of other relatives to mourn her loss. Robbie Baker of Lake Village is visiting his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Baker. Robert Jolley and Miss Clarence Barbre are visiting Rest in Lincoln County. Willie Hartley who has been sick for some time is with his brother, Simon Hartley. Our people are still canning and putting away fruit and vegetables. As I stated before, if our readers ever get real hungry, come to Possum Valley, the garden spot of Drew County, but don't, like the R. F. D. Correspondent, think the first thing you will meet in the road will be a baked possum and a dish of potatoes. Rev. Stephenson preached to a large audience in the Valley on his way home from Conference at New Hope Church. Barkley and Melvin White are attending a twenty day's Singing school near Draper, taught by Prof. Lawson. Lee McDaniel recently visited home folks. Mrs. A. L. Oslin, after spending two weeks with the family of J. P. Baker has returned to her home at Wilmar. Walter Blackwell and wife visited his mother near Milo last Saturday, returning Monday. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get personalized email addresses from Yahoo!
