...Around Town (Continued from page 1) trunk of the car where they can't be seen. ? ? * The following letter has been received at several churches in the county along with some sheet music. I will explain later in this column. Dear Pastor or Music Director, * It is with great pleasure that I submit to you my Advent Hymn, VRejoice Ye People Of The Faith." I The early hymn writers would often name their hymn tunes after an important person, place or event. In keeping with that tradi tion, I proudly named my hymn "Raeford." Raeford (Blue Springs) is the place of my birth and the joyful first twenty years of my life. I will always have fond memories of this place along with those that have strengthened my life. It's so nice to remember Mrs. W.T. Covington and Mrs. Arah Gatlin Stuart who started me in music and the likes of Mr. W.T. Gibson and the "Extra" fine teachers of Hoke County that inspired all of us in those things that were pure and good. And then, there are too many others to mention. It is with these thoughts that 1 dedicate, "Rejoice Ye People Of The Faith," and to all the people of Hoke County, I trust it will bring joy to all who sing it. With best regards, Charles Landon Yarborough 5102 Valiant Dr. Louisville, Ky. 40216 PS. Because of the late date of this printing, please feel free to make extra copies if you should need them. There are also plans for this hymn to be included in a book that will have a collection of my choral music which is to be releas ed sometime in the spring of '86. 1: you would like a copy, please let me know. Last week a phone call came to the office and Mollie said the gentleman would like to speak to me. 1 was surprised to hear the caller say, 'this is Landon Yar borough.' When I asked him if he was still in Louisiana, he said no, that he was now living in Ken tucky. He told me of the music he was sending to the churches and 1 asked him to send me a copy of the letter and a copy of the music. This he did! Landon is the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. D.H. Yarborough of sHoke County. Mr. Yarborough was overseer of the Covington Farms in Blue Springs Township for many years. After the farms were sold to the McNair Company of Laurinburg, he became manager of the Johnson Company farms and he and his wife lived at Oakdale. There were five boys and one girl in the family. They all finished school at Hoke High but have moved from the county to make their fortune. They were Bernice, Hartman, Wilson, Earl, Fred and Landon. The people that are mentioned in the letter will be known to most of the older residents of the coun ty Besides the hymn mentioned in the letter, Landon also enclosed five other hymns in my package. They are: "And ... The Word Was God," "The Comforter," "Come Thou O Lamb Of God," "I Thought 1 Heard The Angels Sing," and "Christ Is The Life Of The World." I have several copies of the Ad vent Hymns and will be glad to give them to any church or in dividual. If they give out, you can make a copy of my copy. Also you are welcome to copy the other five hymns. They will be at the office. Thanks Landon and it was nice talking to you. ...DSS seeks more agents (Continued from page 1) securing additional child support agents.
