Last Friday night was the first "ideal"
football weather we've had this season...
except it was almost too ideal as fans
shivered and shook in the brisk night air...
on top of that, the Mitchell Mountaineers
made it even colder by routing the Pats, 34
6... the Homecoming activities at half time
were beautiful and Queen Felicia Bishop
and her court were most attractive...
congratulations to Felicia for winning the
coveted honor.
I also wish to congratulate Roy Reeves
on being recognized by Nationwide In
surance officials for his 25 years of service
to the company... Roy received a 25-year
pin plus a beautiful wrist watch... Roy's
wife, Dot, also deserves a great deal of
credit for her faithful work in the office and
at their home... she tends to the office while
Roy is teaching and also when he's
galivanting to football games, etc.
I've fussed all summer about the weeds
and kudzu growing near our home almost
faster than I could keep it mowed... well,
frost is taking over now and will soon kill the
mess... thank goodness.
The pre-game barbecue supper in the
school cafeteria was real good last Friday
night... there will be only (me more pregame
supper up there and that will be on Oct. 20
when the Patriots host Mountain Heritage.
Everyone was saddened at the fatal car
accident which took the life of Janet Elaine
Brady on Wednesday night of last week...
my sympathy is extended to the Brady
family.
Apologies to Jeanne Hoffman, of Mars
Hill, on the deletion of part of the article in
last week's issue concerning her being
selected as Alumna of the Year of Mars Hill
College... anyway, she'll be recognized this
Saturday during Homecoming activities.

Editor, The Newt Record:
The mind of a traveler often
wander* back through time.
Invariably my thoughts return
me to the place of my rearing,
Madison County, N.C.
In the Navy since January
lm I have had the op
portunity to travel to the
extent that most people never
imagine. I've bc?n to Cuba,
Spain, Paima De Mallorca,
Prance, Italy, Sicily, Sweden,
Denmark, Germany,
England, Belgium, and at
least half the states in the
union. Compared to most
people 21 years old I can
rightly say I've seen a lot.
Now most people have a
favorite place in the world or
as much of the world as they
know; without a doubt mine is
Madison County. You might
ask: who could miss a place
where an unpredictable flood
can destroy a lifetime of work
in a matter of moments? Who
could want to return and raise
a family where there
seemingly is little to offer the
children? For those who ask I
have a simple answer. The
winter may come and bring
with it weather that seems
sent straight from the devil
but the hardships endured and
conquered can only serve to
make a stronger people. And
the friendships that are tried
and proven during times of
suffering surely are those that
mean the most in the long run.
As to what Madison has to
offer the young of the
population there is such a vast
amount. Being a setting where
most homes are in rural areas
children have the chance to
grow up with a greater ap
preciation for their natural
surroundings. And facing
facts; like it or not, it all boils
down to depending on mother
earth for our survival. You
can't just dream up a house or
the fuel it takes to heat it.
Isn't it great to live in a
place where you can see the
means for your survival all
around. Seems to me that
would be a good definition for
security.
Young people and those not
so young still have places in
their hearts for natural
beauty; of this. I am sure. Of
all the places I've ever been
there are plenty that are
beautiful but not a place
anywhere that can compare to
the natural beauty of Madison.
Mountains are a pretty sight
to my eyes. Of course the
mountains of Madison don't
compare in size to the Swiss
Alps but who ever proved that
bigger was better?
As a man who grew up in
Madison and left; hopefully to
return, I have just one favor to
ask the young people of
Madison; before you pack
your bags and leave in search
of the gold at the end of the
rainbow just take a few
moments to look around. You
might find more than one pot
of gold in your own backyard.
