Holly Ridge Happenings

By Shirley Thompson

Terrible Goods For Sale
The world, like a subtle merchant, offers us a good sample of bad ware, and outwardly presents to our view the best end of the stuff. The inmost and middle parts of what was offered is usually coarse and unsatisfactory. What we are tempted to partake in the slight and unworthy. What we end up with is counterfeit and purposely falsified. We find that out when it is often too late to change our minds, and many times a life is ruined from what the unsaved world offered.
Becky Rawls call to tell me how much she enjoyed her company this week. Hilda Clack from Tallulah and Lawrence Smith from West Monroe spent time with her. Hilda also visited Lillin Reems next door to Becky. They think they need to take the portion out between their rooms, Ha!
Janna Clack, Lisa Chaney and Pearl the dog and Sharon Jones from Monroe came by to see her. She loved every minute of it.
Jeannie and Jack Green, Sarah and Chris McElroy and Lilly enjoyed a few days on the beach in Biloxi. How nice it must be.
Here from Tyler Texas was Sherry Eubanks. She was here for the Cotton Blossom Cotillion in which her niece Ellie Jo Barton was in it. Lots of beautiful young ladies and dresses too.
Floyd and Donne Swain was in New Orleans for the weekend visiting with her daughter. Sue Palaco who is not doing well.
