The old sweet gum trees and little maples in the "swampy" areas begin to turn a little, and the golden- rod and deep purple "deer tongue" flowers begin their annual pageantry of gold and purple heralding the au- tumn season in silence and natural majesty. Along with all this beauty, comes a nat- ural phenomena to our north Florida that is not so beautiful, the love bugs. Yes, folks, our annual visitors are here in mass. Don't let them stick to your automobiles too long, as they will mess up your paint job, and keep your windshield a mess. Someone asked me not too long ago that, "if God does all things well, why does He send us love bugs-and mos- quitoes?" My answer to the person was to make us ap- preciate! when,,,we didn't have them, and that ''as the only answer I had, but I. be- lieve it was a pretty good one. Don't forget that Swift Creek United Methodist Church will celebrate Home- coming on Sunday, Sept. 24, beginning at 10:30 a.m. with song and praise service. The morning worship service RESTAURANT GREG BENNETT will be followed by "dinner on the grounds". Swift Creek United Methodist Church is the second oldest Protestant Church in the State of Florida. My appreci- ation, in advance to Tommy and Mildred Pound, as well as Butch and Claire Smith for all their hard work to make this event a success. A letter from the Stephen Foster Citizens Support Or- ganization indicated that the Florida Federation of Music Clubs will make history this year at their annual "Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair" auditions and ball held on Friday, Oct. 6, and Saturday, Oct. 7. This is always an out- standing event and the old- est special event held at Stephen Foster. It was nice sharing a short visit with John C. "Buddy" Camp, on Sunday, Sept. 17, at the Telford Hotel'in White Springs., Mr. Camp was lunching 'with a number of friends from Lake City in- cluding MiN and N Mrs-. Gerald Witt and EF Longof Lake, City. It was also nice seeing Marjorie Dedge and Kathy Dedge Smith of Jasper.

Doris Weaver Milton, was. a visitor last week to White- Springs. Doris visited many' good friends in the area. She was my dinner guest on Wednesday evening. It is al- ways a blessing sharing time with a good friend. Doris resided for many years in White Springs before mov- ing to Milton to be closer to her daughter Beulah and family. Beulah is a guidance counselor at Rhodes Middle School in Milton, Florida, and her husband, Dr. Jonathan Fountain, practices medicine there. They have two daughters, both of whom are college graduates.' Happy Belated Birthday; wishes to Janet Moses of White Springs. Janet is open-, ing another shop in historic- Madison and we are very, proud of her, but we are, most proud that she is going' to maintain her presence here in our beloved White' Springs. If you are interested' in arts and crafts with a falP theme, come down and browse through Janet's shop,3 or 'do some early Christmas-I shopping. Last, year, Janet did a painting of our .oY n , Mae Fi:ances '. 'lu hall '- who is a renowned gospel singer.,. I bid on the painting during, the "Earth Day" celebration, but I was outbidded, and I know whomever is the for- tunate recipient of that piece' of art should cherish it. :..
