for a luncheon the other day and
rehashed experiences as early

remains active as superin-
tendent at North Hopkin-
s...Walters was superintendent
at Como, Smith at Pickton and
Herman at Sulphur Bluff...
Danny Campbell is waging a
winning battle to lose a few
extra pounds...His secret, he
says with a big grin, is hard
work...Now that rural mail
carrier Clyde Thompson has
retired after 41 years on the job,
he’ll have more time to devote
to his farm north of town, or
anything else he wants to
do...He made many friends
during his career...Greg
Roberts spent a couple of days
in Memorial Hospital recently
and then returned to his
business with a good word for
those who handle these vital
services...“They sure do feed
good,” Roberts volunteered.
“Never say die” is one cliche
a group of 15-year-old Hopkins
County baseball All-Stars
believe firmly in. After Far-
mer’s Branch southpaw Billy
Young held them hitless for five
innings Monday night at Eagle
Stadium, the local stars ex-
ploded for seven runs in the
bottom of the sixth and came
away with a 9-8 victory and the
right to play Dennison on the
road in round two of District 8
Big League Little League
competition Wednesday night
at7:30.
After finding himself in a bit
of a jam in the fifth, Young was
replaced on the mound by
reliever Todd Williams and the
Hopkins County Stars lost no
time in tagging him for the
seven runs in the sixth.
Cody Vanderford is scheduled
for the starting nod in Dennison
Wednesday night.
