A Correction
In reporting the golden wed
ding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs.
Lindley Hampton in the last is
sue of the Democrat, we stated
that the reception was given by
the son and daughters. It should
have read that the reception was
given by their children, Mrs.
Vance Keller of Route 1, Boone;
Mr. Darius Hampton of Rt. 4,
Boone; and Mr. Ronda Hampton
of Rt. 8, Lenoir. We regret the
error.
There are few women who do
not tell their husbands about
the bigger ones that got away.
