50 YEARS AGO
Sept. 14, 1961
Two Anderson County sisters were up to their old tricks again in walking off with canning honors at the Kentucky State Fair.
Mrs. Elvin Burgin, the state sweepstakes winner last year and not eligible to win the highest honor again this year, placed second with her 65 entries.
Her sister, Mrs. E.B Sparrow, the Sweepstakes winner of the Anderson County Agricultural Fair this year, walked off with third place in the state with her 54 entries at the Fair.

The power.
The power to destroy all of your enemies.
The power to be the most important.
The power to show the world you are the ruler of all.
Hollywood often portrays powerful, vengeful people as heroes and winners. When you contemplate that Jesus had the power to destroy the world and all of his enemies, to end the lives of the men torturing and spitting on and mocking him, remember this: he didn’t retaliate.
As the old hymn says, “He could have called 10,000 angels to destroy the world, but he died alone, for you and me.”
