Sure were a bunch of U.S. Flags out today on main street in Clarksville, one about every 100 ft on both sides of west main and out on Peter's Prairie Road several flags out next to the road, such as at the Lowe's and the Skidmore's. Drove out to Lanes Chapel Cemetery. A look of works is going out there. Somebody's uncle that lives in New York gave a lot of money to fix up the cemetery, community center and the church. Much has already been done such as a pavilion and the cemetery and a very nice iron fence around the complete, except the extended area next to a creek. They will figure that out later. Pews for the pavilion are on the way. All is very nice. Take a look if you get a chance. Red River County is sure needing the some rain and has missed getting rain recently when it was all around. At least that is the statement of my brother-in-law that has about 175 acres and some cow (not sure how many, but he has been selling the mean one recently). His pools are low and pasture grass looked good to me but he said it looked good but it was thin. He has bought the hay off of a neighbor. Watch them bring in two loads (10 bales each) of those round bales. (We watch about 40 minutes but they had been doing it all day, this was about 3 p.m. He says he now has enough have for the winter counting the square bales he already has put away. The double rig hay hauling trailer was about 60 to 70 feet long and carried 10 bales. I was neat to see him just walk along the trailer, flick a lever and the bales would tumble off the trailer. When I was hauling hay as a teen, it would have taken us a month to haul that much hay. CHS is undefeated 2 weeks into the regular season. (check it out) Jim Giddens Paris, Tx
