He went straight to Dallas, where, as I told you last week, he will play baseball this coming season. Marinel Gamble, I'll have to call her that because I do not know her husband's last name, has a very sick baby. Very young baby girl has pneumonia , Mr. Gamble told my husband Sunday. The doctor, however, thought he had everything under control. I truly hope so and that the baby will be out of danger soon. Marinel is an Army wife and she and her two children are with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jim Gamble. Well, before I had the privilege of seeing Charlie Will Adamson, he has gone back to Michigan, carrying his Mrs. Charlie with him, for I am told that he married on Sunday, leaving Glenn community to live with his wife's people or near them in Michigan. He found the girl of his dreams while doing for Uncle Sam. Much happiness to both of you! You who have not been in Glenn in a good while may be surprized, as you come down the Franklin way, to find a little red store house in Mr. Otis Caldwell's yard. It is really there, and recently Brannon Crockett walked in and scanned the shelves hurriedly, "you have some washing power? I'm going to tell Mama." He has flour too, those little packages you can put in your pocket book if you will find a place to put the thousand other things that stay in it. I just wonder why flour is being issued in such small sacks. Mr. Caswell said to my husband "well if nobody else wants it in the little sacks, we have to eat." But people want flour in any kind of sack. It is handy having two merchants in Glenn again. If I have been corresponding with the paper a year ago I would have given you a personal story; and since I am this March 11th I think I shall tell you about it. I have a little boy named, as he told the nurse at the hospital, "Jo Jo Narnes". My just older than he boy, gave him two pennies when he came in from the mail box. Joe became excited at seeing his grandfather driving out of the garden and he screamed out, stopping immediately and beginning to gag and be nauseated. Mother called me. When I saw him I knew he had swallowed a penny. Running to him I caught him by the heel and turning his head downward, I shook, but no penny came. I had to do something. Carrying him to the hospital in LaGrange, I was sort of put off because the boy was running on the slick floor and falling and laughing. But he could not take solid food and I knew something was wrong. The next day at noon I called my physician, Dr. R.S. O'Neal. He was not willing to gamble with my child's life and told me to meet him at the hospital in 20 minutes. A picture was then taken. The penny showed up large and gruesome right there in my little boy's throat. Not a doctor in LaGrange would even do as much as I did, shake him. He must be rushed to Atlanta to the Ponce de Leon Infirmary. "Dr. Equen has a magnet be invented. He can get it." The state Patrolman was less than an hour getting us there. The penny came away from that little throat and the tight grip from my heart when that famous man took charge. Joseph still has his penny and is starting a bank account. He has almost six dollars. The expense of getting it out was near one hundred dollars. ______ SHORT ITEMS ABOUT THE BOYS IN SERVICE Capt. Lanier H. Patterson arrived home on terminal leave February 26th.

CATER On October 31, 1945, just before sunrise, the angel of death quietly slipped into the home of Brother R.A. Cater and claimed him for its own. He was 51 years old and spent all of his life in Heard County. He married Miss Millie Shiffett, Dec. 7, 1915. To this union were born 4 sons, 2 daughters; his wife and 2 sons preceded him in death many years ago. He married Mrs. Bithie Brazil Shirey on Nov 28, 1937. To this union were born 1 son and 1 daughter. Leaving to mourn his passing are his wife, 3 sons, Dorsey, Wayne, Gary; 3 daughters, Pauline, Audrey, Jean; 1 grandson, Jerry Hester; 2 sisters; Mrs. C.F. Rogers, Mrs. J.T. Huckeba Sr.; 3 brothers, John, Billy and C.N. Cater. Brother Cater joined the Missionary Baptist CHurch at Ephesus in 1908 at an early age of life and remained a faithful member. He also served as deacon of the church for the last several years. He wrote his own obituary as he lived, being so humble and faithful in his home, community and church. Such a life always finds lasting memories in the minds of his many friends and neighbors. It should be consoling to his loved ones and friends as we think of the dead who died in the lord and we feel that he is among the number who has gone to reap his reward which is laid up for him in heaven, where death and pain are unknown and where rejoicing begins and never ends. Then, as god fulfills his promise by calling Brother Cater from us, be it resolved that we extend our heart felt sympathy to the bereaved, pointing them to God who never makes a mistake, but doeth all things well.

The possum got away but Hub still has the cold. Visiting our childhood home in Coweta, we went with our sister, Mrs. Hugh Glass, learning how the Ladie's Aid of our church carries aid truly, and with a long arm, to many persons needing funds or fruits, or plain everyday friendliness that warms the heart. One dear woman, sitting in a rolling chair since September, took turns in laughing and crying as she thanked the bearers of the basket of goodies, fruits and tempting useful packages and then she said "and I am most grateful for your coming to see me." Death from spinal meningitis took a beloved, sunny little man of three years, from a humble home. Hospital bills had been heavy for two older children now recovering from the same affliction; but funds were ready and waiting in the church treasury and the Ladie's Aid dispatched considerable help there.
