80 YEARS AGO

Thursday, Sept. 9, 1937

Helen Morgan, demonstration agent for Anderson County, demonstrated the latest method of canning peaches, tomatoes, beans and corn at Tyrone.

The canning was done at the home of Mrs. Will Hughes. Others present were Mrs. Flora H. Booker, Mrs. Albert Ledridge, Mrs. W.P. Frazier, Mrs. Frank Searcy, Mrs. Ethel Moynahan and Mrs. C.W. Young.

Two new Homemakers clubs were formed in the county, one at Alton and the other in the Hughes community.

If you have spent time around church, you most likely are familiar with the expression that we, as followers of Christ, are to be “salt and light.”

I believe for most of us that expression has become cliché and meaningless.

Jesus said in John 8:12: “I am the light of the world, he who follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
