Honey Grove
MERRY
CHRISTMAS
EVERYBODY!
Christmas Celebrations
of Yesteryear
By: Malinda Allison
How did the citizens of
Honey
Grove
celebrate
Christmas around the 1900s?
Our collection of old Honey
Grove newspapers, now online
at the Portal to Texas History,
tells us.
In 1894 there was to be an
"old fashioned Christmas tree at
the Methodist Church." There
was to be Christmas entertainment at the Baptist for the children, and on Sunday a special
offering for Buckner's Orphan
home.
In 1902 the children of the
Christian Sunday school were
presenting a "pretty cantata, A
Visit to Grandpa," on Christmas
eve. After the entertainment
there was to be a distribution of
presents at the Christmas tree.
In 1905 the Ladies' Society
of the Presbyterian Church had
to postpone their holiday bazaar
because of inclement weather,
but would have "many pretty
and useful articles appropriate
for Christmas presents."
J. B. McKee offered the following special groceries in
1905: navel oranges, cranberries, celery, English walnuts,
mince meats, nuts of all kinds,
fancy white grapes, and fancy
cakes and crackers.
In 1906 the Shakespeare
Club had a Christmas party at
the Williamson home, which
was decorated with Christmas
bells, holly wreaths and mistle-
toe boughs.
In 1910 Foster Photo, of
Honey Grove and Bonham, was
ready to take the family
Christmas photo. And the City
Council instructed the City
Marshal to enforce the fire
works ordinance to the letter of
the law. "There is a way in
which those who get enjoyment
out of shooting fire works can
have
their
accustomed
Christmas fun, but they must not
in so doing endanger life or
property. Ask the Marshall
about the provision of the law."
Also in 1910 there was to be
"a beautiful Christmas tree at
the Methodist School at the
brick school building, ladened
with nice presents for the
Sunday School children, also a
delightful Cantata entitled
"Christmas Eve at Grandpa's."
And the Christian Church was
having special services on
Christmas Day, both morning
and evening, with special music
by the choir and solos. The
Sunday School Christmas tree
was on Christmas eve.
Christmas trees were also being
held at the Episcopal church, the
Presbyterian Church and the
Baptist church.
The
Honey
Grove
Preservation League hopes that
you and your family have wonderful holiday celebration this
year.

Christmas Shopping in Old
Honey Grove
PJC Holds Second
Fall Graduation
By: Margaret Ruff
Malinda Allison
What types of Christmas
gifts were popular around the
1900s in Honey Grove? Our
collection of old Honey Grove
newspapers, now online at the
Portal to Texas History, tells us.
In 1894 S. L. Erwin & Co.
recommended Haviland China
and Libbey Cut Glass as a present. In 1897 W. L. Erwin advertised that his store would be
open until 9:30 in the evening
for Christmas shopping.
In the December 12, 1902
edition of the Honey Grove
Signal, The Nickel Store had a
large front page ad for its
Christmas items. They advertised that they had over 1000
dolls (all sizes and all prices) for
sale, plus doll clothes and carriages. For the boys they advertised wagons of all kinds, toy
guns, trains and building blocks.
They carried a complete line of
games, "crokinole, dominoes,
checkers, ping pong, tug of war,
authors, old maid, progression
and diplomacy." They also had
"the best line of fireworks in
town."
Burke and & Burke in 1902
advertised
itself
as
"Headquarters for Santa Claus."
They offered toy trains, toy
printing presses, toy steam
engines, toy guns, and dolls,
including rag dolls. They also
Correction:
had a good selection of holiday
books for all ages, and games
and blocks.
Murray & Evans, on the East
Side of the Square, had a large
stock of diamonds, jewelry, cut
glass and silverware.
Wright Book Company
offered "dolls, dishes and furniture for the girls. Guns, trains,
fire engines and fire works for
the boys. Games for Old and
Young." They had chocolates
for the young ladies, bricabrac
and fancy cups and tea sets, and
shaving mugs and mustache
cups.
J. N. Lempeotis, northeast
corner of the Square, advertised
candies and cigars.
And Williamson, Blocker &
Co. recommended neckware,
suspenders and mufflers.
In 1905 Murray & Evans
suggested, for the gentlemen,
watch chains, goldheaded canes
and a handsome tobacco jar.
For the ladies, a cut glass vase, a
gold thimble and a sterling silver hat pin. For the baby, a
comb and brush set or a sterling
silver rattle.
Maybe these ideas will help
you in your Christmas shopping! Happy Holidays from the
Honey Grove Preservation
League.

The parade through Ladonia
Saturday afternoon brightened
the day for spectators, as the
participants were having fun as
they rode horses, drove vehicles
pulling floats, or walked from
Fannindel School past the
square and on down East Main,
making the loop and returning
by way of East Paris and
Bonham Streets. Christmas is
supposed to be a cause for joy as
we celebrate the birth of our
Lord and Savior. About midway of the procession two students, Paula Moody and Bailey
Duplechan, led two beautiful
goats trimmed with red bows.
The community was working
together and neighboring towns,
Wolfe City and Pecan Gap participated also. Thanks to the
Chamber of Commerce, the Fire
Department and all others who
helped, and Ho, Ho, Ho Santa
Claus.

the news during Thanksgiving

Anniversary with many family
and friends attending to wish
them well. Among those with
ties to Ladonia attending were

Recent visitors in the home
of Deona Owens were Nita
Rolan and her son Jeremy
Pittman of Porter Texas (down
Houston way).
On Sunday Deona Owens
and Elaine Owens were at Mt.
Olive Baptist Church in Reno,
Texas for an ordination of deacons. Deona’s grandson and
Elaine’s nephew, Marc McNeal,
was ordained a deacon in the
Church. They are very proud of
Marc and so are we all.
The shrubs at First Baptist
Ladonia look so much better
since being trimmed by Debby
Crofford last week. Thank you
so much Debby.
First Baptist is happy to have
Pastor David Howard, his wife
Sherri and their son Grady living in the parsonage at this time.

Shaw stuff. Great granddaughters are going into the
Christmas season in a big way.
Up in Tennessee, Mary is moving into her new home. At
Commerce, Madison and
Savannah are competing in UIL
and playing basketball. The
Middle School came in third in
the One-Act Play competition
with Savannah being one of the
two from Commerce to be
named to the All-Star cast. For
many years, young people of
Fellowship Baptist Church in
Campbell, have presented a
Christmas play and all five of
the Certain grandchildren (two
of whom are my greats) act in it.
In fact, the girls usually make
up the program themselves with
the help of their mothers,
Cherish and Mandy, grandmother Cathy Certain and their
grandfather Steve reading the
Christmas Story at the end. This
year they depicted the story of
Ebenezer Scrooge. The program
is always relevant to the meaning of Christmas. Each year I
have played hooky from my
Church here in Ladonia to be
there for the play. I was sorry to
miss this year, but with each
passing year one has to curtail
more activities. Carol Shaw
drove down from Garland, as
she does for their plays and
when possible also attends one
of the three types of ball games
they play in. Grandsons Travis
and Blake traveled in their
work, Travis to Houston from
his home in Tennessee and
Blake to San Antonio from his
home in Commerce. Melanie
Shaw and daughter Mitzi Gill
brought lunch and visited a
while before going to the cemetery to put out flowers. They
brought a huge stocking full of
goodies which included a small
can of Tundra First Alert to
extinguish small fires. That goes
with me wherever I go in the
house. Tina Shaw attended the
Chrismas pageant at Plymouth
Park Baptist Church in Irving.
We do not wish you happy
holidays, but we do wish each
of you a very Merry Christmas
and a Happy New Year.

Dear Santa,
I’ve been good. I hope I can
get some presents this year. I
like 5th grade we have fun and
learn new stuff in math, science,
and language arts. My friend
Jacob moved. The last time I
saw him was on Halloween
night at the square for trick or
treat. It was sad but I still get to
talk to him on the phone and
write letters to him. I hit my
head so hard that I started to see
cartoon people. Are the elves
doing there doing their job? Are
the reindeer okay? What I want
for Christmas is the Disney
infinity game for the xbox and a
Ipod. I hope you have a Merry
Christmas.
Your Friend, Kelten Wooten
Dear Santa,
All I want for Christmas is a
go-cart and I will let my parents
decide the rest. I know they will
tell you if I deserve anything
else.
Sincerely, Josh Smith
Dear Santa,
How are you? Are you doing
good delivering presents? Santa,
all I want for Christmas is a go
cart, ps3 controller and some
football games. Santa, I hope
you are not having a hard time
reading all these notes. So Santa
the night before Christmas I'm
going to leave you a lot of milk,
and cookies. And my last present I want is a basketball game.
This night before Christmas
you’re going to be stuffed Saint
Nick.
Sincerely, Ja'Quadrian Scott
P.S. I want a PS3 controller.
Dear Santa,
Hello, my name is Jordyn
Cash. How are you? I hope you
are good. How is Mrs.Claus? I
would like if it’s not too much
trouble 2 glow fish, a fish tank,
some monster high dolls, a
iphone6+ and also a stethoscope. I have been a very good
child this year and if you don’t
mind putting in my stocking
some of that delicious cole
candy with nuts. I really hope
you don’t miss my house this
year. A fake Santa stopped by. I
could tell he wasn’t you, he didn’t look jolly at all, even though
I’ve never seen you before it
doesn’t mean I don’t know what
you look like. I’m NOT stupid.
They obviously think all fifth
grade class are. We just went
along with it for the younger
children. We think it was coach
Pevey, but we don’t know.
Coach Pevey is jolly all year
around.
Sincerely, Jordyn Cash
Dear Santa,
Hello Santa, how are you? I
was wondering if you could get
these presents for me. First present would be Super Smash Bros.
for Wii U. It is the coolest game
ever! It came out last month, but
it is awesome. Next present is a
little Mac Amiibo. These are
NOT toys. They are figures.
They go to the game Super
Smash Bros. and you place it on
the Wii u game pad and it comes
to life. It is very cool! Third
present would be tan worker
boots. These are cool! I can
walk on glass and stuff. O.K. I
will leave you a table with milk
and cookies. I hope you like it.
Thank you!
Sincerely, Joseph Page
Dear Santa,
For Christmas, I want a fourwheeler and survival stuff. I will
set you out some cookies, a
piece of cake, and a big glass of
milk. I wonder how you get
around the world in one night. I
wound not mind if the fourwheeler was red and four wheel
drive.
Sincerely, Victoria Reel
Dear Santa,
I know I‘ve done some bad
things since this school year
started and Santa I know I’ve
done some good things since
this year started, like helping
my grandma clean up her yard.
For Christmas, I want an Ipod
and a dirt bike. Merry
Christmas!
Your friend,Contreal Judkins
Dear Santa,
I have been a very good this
year. So for Christmas I would
like a guitar, bike, and I hope I
get a Iphone. I hope I will see
you on Christmas Eve. One
Christmas I was going to stay up
and see you, but I fell asleep.
You came when I was asleep.
Then, I woke up the next day
and it was so fun. The next day,
I played with my new toy.
Your Friend, Anthanie Whitman
Dear Santa,
How are you? I hope you,
your reindeer, and elves are
doing very good. I know I have
been bad and good, but I want
an Iphone6 plus. I never had an
American Girl doll. Can you
please bring me one? I really
want an Elf on the Shelf. Please
and thank you. I will probably
leave you some cookies and
milk on the table.

and t.v. I would like my very

schools. They have some missing. I would also like some more
shoes.
Yours Truly, Dominus Daw

year? I have been very good.

Iphone there is. Can you pretty
please get me an Iphone6plus?

game called Destiny and Far
Cry 4, and a laptop.
Your Friend, Jackie
Dear Santa,
For Christmas I would like
Nascar the game and Legos.
From Your Friend, Ashton
Dear Santa,
I know I’ve been naughty
sometimes, but I can’t help it
because I have anger issues. But
most of the time I’m good. What
I want for Christmas, let me get
to that. My uncle has cookies
and I have milk, so I’ll see if I
can give you some cookies and
milk. There’s a game I want
called Halo 4, and it’s an amazing game! Also, a PS3, for
Playstation 3, I want as another
game. But there is games I want
with it, except I don’t know any
games, so pick a game you think
is best for me with PS3. I have
an Xbox360, and I need another
controller so my friend can play.
Also, I’m needing batteries for
them. Can you also get me some
games? I don’t know any, so can
you get me what you think is
best? And m,y sister wants all
the games called Sims 3, but
you can get the ones she doesn’t
have, and don’t get the ones she
already has. And please, don’t
put me on the naughty list!
Your dear friend,

Hoping you have safe travels during the holidays...
Holiday 2014 Don't Drink & Drive Campaign
This year, TxDOT, Santa, and Santa's reindeer have an
important message for Texas drivers: Don't drive if you're
Tipsy, Buzzed or "Blitzen"; call a cab or get a sober ride
home instead. For the 16th consecutive year, TxDOT is
sponsoring a holiday-themed public education campaign to remind Texans not to get behind the wheel if
they've been drinking.
From December 1st until January 1st, which includes
the Christmas and New Year's holidays, Santa is not the
only one who'll be busy. Law enforcement agencies will
be making an extra effort to spot-and stop-drunk drivers.
In Texas during December 2012, more than 37,000 traffic crashes injured 18,000 people and killed 240 more.
Of the 3,089 fatalities on Texas roads in 2009, 956 were
the result of alcohol-related crashes. This makes alcohol
a factor in 30.9 percent of the fatal crashes in Texas .
Penalties for a first-time DWI offense include driver's
license suspension for up to one year, a fine of up to
$2,000 and up to six months in jail.
Santa's other helpers in the DWI-prevention campaign include the Texas Restaurant Association, Texas
Petroleum Marketers and Convenience Store
Association, Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission and
Texas Department of Public Safety.
A drunk driving arrest, a car crash, or a trip to the emergency room is definitely not on anyone's wish list! Our
wish list includes a safe holiday season for everyone. We
are reminding drivers to celebrate responsibly and let
someone else drive if they have been drinking. Our
advice is simple: Designate a sober driver in advance or
call a cab to get home safely.
Follow all seatbelt laws and
Please don’t drink and drive.
The Police Department
Dear Santa Claus,
How have you been this year
Santa Claus? I think it would
be really cool to live in the
Northpole and have flying reindeer. What do you want for
Christmas Santa? How is Mrs.
Claus doing? Santa Claus you
are amazing. So I want to get
you a present this year for
Christmas. I’m just wondering
but what is your favorite kind of
cookie? I love Christmas Eve.
Everybody in my family gets to
open one present on Christmas
Eve, but I like Christmas a little
bit better. What I really want for
Christmas is a Doctor Who
book.
Love, Autumn Howell

Dear Santa,
How have you been this
year? I apologize for arguing
with my siblings. Is Rudofe
nose still shining bright? This
year we might put milk and
cookies on the hearth instead of
7Up and some of thoughs cookies with the icing. I hope
thoughs didn’t make you nosish
on the trip to give everbody
presents. I am not saying for you
to get me this but if you would
make me a cotton candy
machine. Are your elves ears
still pointy? Please make the
homeless kids get presents and
have a good Christmas because

and cloths, and they don’t have
any. So have a merry Christmas.

so I want a 6 week old English
bulldog puppy. Have fun at the
north pole and eat lots of cookies!
Love, Kylie Williams

Bobcat, I want to have a million
dollars, can I please have a laptop, 7 phones, and a
mustang.Thank you for listening. Good bye.
Love, Makayla King
Dear Santa,
Do you really watch me
every minute of my life? I have
an elf, but does he really work?
Today he was sitting on a shelf
in the dinning room. Yesterday
he was in the fridge. His name is
tricky. As you should know. I’ve
heard you like cookies. Why
don’t you like pie? Or kobler, or
cupcakes? I need to know more
details about you. Do you wash
your Santa red suit in a magic
washer? That makes them smell
like candy canes? Or do you eat
on thankgiving with all the
elves? And howdo you get into a
house with out a chimney?
Cause I don’t have one at my
moms house. I wanna make sure
you come. I like the way you
are sneaky but friendly.Whats
your favorite holiday besides
Christmas? Well sorry for all the
questions, but how old is
Rudolhp? Bye. Bye Now!
Merry Christmas!
Your friend, Lydia Neeley
Dear Santa,
I would like some galaxy
slime, an Ipad, and a new stereo.
Plz and thank you.
Love, Macie Sky Turner
Dear Mr. Santa,
How are you! For Christmas
I want an Ipad mini! That’s really all I’m asking for since it cost
so much! I would like to have an
Ipad mini because I could face
time all my friends and I wouldn’t have to use my sisters all the
time. By the way this is for my
dad’s house! But if I could ask
for one more thing it would be
art stuff and clothes.
Love, Tylar Lane
Dear Santa,
All I want for Christmas is to
see you and belive that you are
real. I want to see your raindeer
and see them fly. I want to see
you go down a chimney to see if
you realy just touch your nose
and go down the chimney. I
want to see your elves and see
them make an Ipad. I hope your
real.
Syncerly, Baily Clark

“And, The Word Became Flesh”
In the beginning words of
John’s Gospel we find, “In the
beginning was the Word, and
the word was with God, and the
Word was God. He was in the
beginning with God. All things
came into being through him,
and without him not one thing
came into being.”
What do we celebrate at
Christmas? Of course, the
answer is obvious, even trite—
the birth of Jesus Christ, the
Savior of the World. But what
do we celebrate at Christmas,
what does the birth of Christ
mean? Consider the familiar
story from Luke’s gospel. We
know it well. The images are
fixed in our memories, down to
the marrow of our bones, the
crude stable, the angels, the
shepherds. Indeed, so familiar
to us is the story that sometimes
it becomes difficult to hear it
afresh. Luke’s nativity story is
as comfortable to us as our
favorite pajamas or sweater, as
familiar to us as the back of our
hand.
In John Gospel we consider
the Christmas message from a
different perspective. It is a different gospel, but it too is familiar to us. Its words and images
flow over us, surround us. Their
beauty and brilliance have been
dimmed as well by our repeated
hearing of them. What new
thing can we say about
Christmas? What new or
renewed faith, what transformation can come about in the midst
ben good. I helped my Memaw
watch my cousn. I love you
Santa. An I on the good list?
How are the elfs? I love you I
want a dog. I want some Legos.

of such old familiar
stories and words?
In fact, that’s one of
the problems with rituals. Human beings
are by nature, ritualistic. Ritual takes us out
of ourselves and out
of our daily lives.
Ritual draws us in,
brings us into the
presence of eternity.
We like things to stay
the same. We are comfortable
with routine. We think things
have always worked this way,
that, for example, Christmas has
always been celebrated in the
way we do it today. Of course,
that’s not true. We know
approximately when Christians
began celebrating the incarnation of Christ—it was probably
in the fourth century. We know
by whom and when the first
crèche—the first nativity
scene—was erected: by St.
Francis of Assisi in the thirteenth century. We know that
Christmas was not celebrated in
colonial New England, that
Santa Claus came on the scene
in the mid-19th century, that
“White
Christmas”
and
“Rudolph the Red-Nosed
Reindeer” date from the 1940s.
We know all this, but when
somebody messes with it, we
get mad. All of that accumulated
tradition combines to make
Christmas an evocative and
powerful event.
Yet all that familiarity, all the
ritual does something else, too.
It prevents us from encountering the gospel anew, it keeps us
from hearing the words of Luke
or of John with open hearts and
minds, open to the possibility
that Christmas, besides being
the “most wonderful time of the
year,” that Christmas might
transform us, and transform the
world.
“In the beginning was the
Word and the Word was with

through him, and without him
not one thing came into being.”
The profound and mysterious
hymn with which the Gospel of
John begins makes some extravagant claims about Christ. What
is proclaimed in these words is
that Christ, the Word, has been
present in the world since creation, indeed that the Word was
itself the creative process
through which the world, and
we, were created.
There’s something of an
irony here. At Christmas we celebrate the birth of Christ, the
coming of Christ into the world,
but John begins by asserting
that Christ has been present in
the world from the very beginning of creation. The problem,
of course, is that we don’t get it.
We don’t recognize Christ’s
presence among us, in us.
In the beginning was the
Word… There are few texts of
scripture on which Christians
have thought and reflected than
the opening verses of John’s
gospel. The English translation
captures only a small portion of
all that lies in the Greek word
logos that connotes as well, reason, natural law, the order of the
universe. And behind the Greek
lies the Hebrew concept of wisdom—the idea expressed in the
Old Testament that it was
through wisdom that God created the universe.
These rich words convey to
us something of the faith of the
early Christians who confessed
them and sang them in worship,
but the profundity of what they
confessed elude our grasp. What
might it mean for our faith not
just to confess, but to believe
that in creation in this world
around us, we see the presence
of God, we detect Christ?
We live in a world that loves
to compartmentalize and to crit-

Dear Santa,
How are the elves and how is
Mrs Claus? How are you? I
need a dollhouse, sunglasses, a
barbie surprise, and a phone.
Please, I need a red folder for
my stuff when I'm not finished.
I will leave food for you.
Your friend, McKayla Galindo
Dear Santa,
How is everyone at the North
Pole? I want a phone and bike
for Christmas. I have been good.

icize. We tie things up into neat
packages—this is science, that
is religion. This is my faith,
there is the rest of my life. This
is Christmas, that, well, that is
the rest of the year. We tie things
up in neat packages, even
though life resists such neat categorization. We want things
neat and tidy, but life is messy.
On Christmas, we want to hear
the old familiar story, to sing the
carols, to go home and have a
nice
Christmas
dinner,
exchange presents, and tomorrow wake up, and get back to
business as usual.
What we don’t want, not
really, is to encounter Christ. Oh
yes, we love the baby in the
manger, we love the story of
Mary and Joseph, of shepherds
and angels, we love the warm
fuzzy feelings that Christmas is
so good at providing. We want
Christ on our terms, not on
God’s terms.
John’s gospel reminds us that
Christmas is not just about all of
that. John proclaims to us loudly and powerfully that the Christ
who was born in Bethlehem is
the Incarnate Word, present in
all the universe, present in all
our words, present in us.
Christ comes to us, of course,
as the little baby in a manger in
Bethlehem. But our faith also
proclaims that Christ is present
all around us, even when we fail
to recognize Him. Christ is
where we are. He is in the
places of Worship, but he is in
the Marketplace too. He is in
our hearts, in the smile of a
child and in the greeting of a
friend, in the family gathering.
Christ is present, too, in the
poor, the homeless, the destitute. May the spirit of Christmas
infect us and transform us, that
we see Christ in all that we do,
in everyone we meet, in our
neighbor, and yes, in our enemy,
too.
Dear Santa,
I hope the reindeer are safe. I
need a toolbox because my dads
truck brakes broke, then I can
help my dad fix it. I want some
skate shoes. I am going to leave
you cookies and milk.
Your friend, Harley Childers
Dear Santa,
I've been good. I need a new
laptop because mine broke. I
want a sonic boomer and little
big elephants.
Your friend, Andrew Brown
Dear Santa,
How are the elves? I want to
be an elf because I love to do
work. How is Mrs Claus? I need
a toolset because I don't have
one at my moms. I want a Lego
set because I like building legos.
I want a dog because my dog
ran away. I want a red nose. I
have been good. I will give you
cookies because you give me
presents.

What Makes a Piland... a Piland

going to relate back to a story
about him because I knew him
and never knew his ancestors
personally.
Grampa had married the
former Myrtle Gray. Their union
produced eight offspring – five
sons and three daughters.
Grampa was a farmer as were his
ancestors.
In Grampa and Grannies
house the family Bible occupied
a prominent place. It was not a
book that they brought out and
dusted off just when the Preacher
was coming to dinner. There
were family meetings to read and
discuss the Bible. The family
was given a verse or chapter to
read, then the next week, give
their impressions on what was
read. Grampa studied it daily.
What he came away with was
that there was no
middle
ground, an action was either right
or it was wrong. There was black
or white, there was no grey.

traded.
Grampa got in touch with a neighbor
who owned a hay baler. They got together
and agreed on a day, weather permitting, for
the neighbor to bale the hay. Grampa would
have the hay cut, raked and dry. The neighbor would show up and bale the hay. The
trade was Grampa got two thirds and the
neighbor got one third, which was common
practice back then.
Hay bailing day arrived and so did the
neighbor. But before he started he wanted
to change the agreement to half and half.
He told Grampa that no other hay balers
were available. Grampa explained that was
not what they agreed to. The neighbor told
Grampa that was the way it would be.
Grampa told him he needed to get his
equipment out of the field, he asked why,
Grampa said he would burn the field before
he would be taken advantage of. The neighbor told him, “Alfred, you would not DO
that, you and I both NEED that hay.”
Grampa asked him to go back to the original agreement, the neighbor refused.
Grampa smoked Prince Albert tobacco –
roll your owns. If you have ever smoked
Prince Albert, you know that it takes three
to four matches per cigarette. Grampa had
a special pocket in his bib overalls that he
filled with matches every morning. He
started walking and striking matches and
dropping them in the wind rows.
In a short time the field was black and
smoking.
Carl called me Ironhead…should have
been Ironhead the Third.
