The writer updates everyone on new babies, prayer requests, hospital stays and the like. It makes me thankful for small towns. :sun: Our little small town paper, The Hartselle Enquirer, still has articles like this.

I'd love to show it to my sisters - we love that stuff! I'm Carson's oldest, we met at Evelyn Dye's funeral two years ago and John Dye's funeral last year, not sure if you remember - LOVE your blog, it's great to see all the happenings on the farm - especially since I'm stuck up in Ohio on my postage stamp-sized lot in the suburbs of Columbus (someday my husband will be convinced that I need to buy a little bit of land in Roane County)! I also love your recipes- grandmother bread is awesome! Oooh Suzanne do you have a picture of the one about John Dye (my grandpa) and Carson (my dad)?

Well, when I would come to visit each summer, it was reported in the paper - Kristin, the granddaughter of Mr & Mrs. W.E. Corlett will be visiting for the next two weeks...and what that also meant was....She will be with her cousin and they will be in some sort of trouble from now until she leaves. LOL It was always harmless trouble, but trouble nonetheless. Thanks so much for posting the pictures from the paper. I love the old stuff!

My son almost fainted from joy when he returned from his 12 hour shift to find one on the kitchen counter for him. It was delicious. I used a mixture of butter flavored and regular Crisco. - Suzanne, the Farmer's Wife Suzanne – I used the pie crust recipe to make homemade chicken pot pie last night.

Well, at that price, who cares?!! I'll take 4 pair. Second - I wonder what ever happened to Miss Penny Stephans. I bet she was pushed. YOu should look into this. Inquiring minds want to know.

Once my Dad and I ripped a wall down and discovered 40 year old newspapers used as insulation. We spent the next 3 days reading papers instead of finishing the reno job! I had a problem with our local Personals Column writer. In the early 1970s, I went to a baby shower, and she was there to "write it up" - she received invitations to every single social event in town well into her 90s. At that time, I had recently separated from my husband, and didn't want her to write me up as Mrs His Name. I wanted to be called LD My Name, but she wouldn't have any part of that. So the guest list that appeared in that week's Personals Column included all the proper (married) ladies - Mrs George Brown, etc - "and others". I was those others! Maybe it would have been easier to swallow if a good pie recipe had been included ... I love old newspapers too!

I love 'em. And alas I didn't grow up in a small town. The large 'burb that I live in now with 250,000 people is the smallest town that I've live in. I do long for a farm or rural B&B that I can call home, but my non-tool-using husband would not survive living in the country. He grew up in Detroit of the 50s and 60s, then a major metropolitan area. Now it's a waste land. He ran a newspaper in a small town in south Texas - The Nixon News. I'll have to ask him if he printed a gossip column. Thanks for the smile for the day. I love to eat some PIE and go to BED! My hubby makes the best sugar-free pie (he's diabetic). :woof: Old newspapers especially obits are the genealogist’s friend. I love ‘em. And alas I didn’t grow up in a small town.

Never mind the cow that got lost, what about that poor little boy who lost his coat and glasses. He probably got a good hiding from his dad for that. These days it would be cheaper to buy a new coat than place an ad! Oh that newspaper was great.
