Though a bit blurry, the photo creates a poignant image of a man and his dog. Taken prior to his tragic death in 1947, William Duvall and Butch share a special moment together in a typical Owen County farm scene.

A judge asked a woman who had been arrested for shoplifting a can of peaches why she had done it.

“Because I was hungry, and I wanted something to eat,” she replied.

The judge then asked how many peaches were in the can. She responded: “two.”

“Then I’ll give you two days in jail,” the judge said.

That’s when her husband quickly spoke up: “Your honor, she also stole a can of peas.”

Bro. John and Vickie were visiting friends, so Bro. Marlow and Mary were with us Sunday.

Bro. Marlow’s sermon was on Matthew 16:13-18. Jesus was fully human and he was fully God and even though we do not understand it, it is by faith we accept it.

We had communion today. Louise Johnson sang “A Wonderful Life.” We had a wonderful fellowship meal after the service.
