Talking trash

Submitted by Casscounty1 on
COLUMN
 
By Austin Lewter
 
Much has been said lately about the conversion of city trash services mandating the use of 96-gallon roll-off poly cart dumpsters. 
Essentially, we are going from twice a week trash pickup on the curb to once a week service out of a big plastic roll-off cart. 
The city will provide every customer with a cart at no cost and Atlanta’s trash will be picked up on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, respectively. 
The carts are property of the city and are not to leave the premises of the residence they were delivered to. 
Each cart has a 150-pound weight limit, so families my size may have to contract a second cart for an additional $10.84 per month.

The hands of God

Submitted by Casscounty1 on
By Bob Money 
Linden Church of Christ
To help us mortals understand the God we worship and serve, the Holy Spirit depicts him to us in human terms. For us to construct, defend, destroy anything, or to care for others, we need hands. So to understand how God works we imagine him working with his hands. Read more in our e-edition:  http://www.etypeservices.com/SWF/LocalUser/Casscounty1//Magazine31787/Full/index.aspx?id=31787

Granny Melton’s favorite picture

Submitted by Casscounty1 on
By Oreta Wright
Sun Columnist
Granny Melton or “Grand,” as she was sometimes called was Carrie Carwile Melton. She had three boys and six girls; Dud, Lloyd, “Raz” (Aubry Zechariah), Gladys, Clarise, Lucille, Pauline, Grace and Marty Bea. 
Raz, by name alone, stood out among the kids. In his early years, probably the early 1920’s, he was industrious enough to try to earn some money so he tried selling items door to door. Often, no money was given but prizes were rewarded according to number of sales. His hard work paid off and he was rewarded with a picture of a boy and his dog.  Read more in our e-edition:  http://www.etypeservices.com/SWF/LocalUser/Casscounty1//Magazine31358/Full/index.aspx?id=31358

My own private monster

Submitted by Casscounty1 on
By Robin Aaron
This job has ruined me…well perhaps that is a bit overboard. What I mean is this job has ruined my motivation for getting in shape and a year’s worth of hard work. And I’m sure there are a lot of people that are pretty happy about it. Read more in our e-edition:  http://www.etypeservices.com/SWF/LocalUser/Atlanta1//Magazine31357/Full/index.aspx?id=31357

Baptism in the local pond

Submitted by Casscounty1 on
By Oreta Wright
Sun Columnist
Religion hasn’t changed. Baptism hasn’t changed. Methods of baptism have changed drastically. This story represents baptisms in Cass County in the years past. 
Every Sunday church was expected to be the event of the day. There was morning service, preceded by Sunday school.  Read more in our e-edition:  http://www.etypeservices.com/SWF/LocalUser/Casscounty1//Magazine30963/Full/index.aspx?id=30963

Cornbread and its derivatives

Submitted by Casscounty1 on
By Oreta Wright 
Sun Columnist
 Is there a way not to like cornbread? 
My mother made cornbread with sugar, shortening and an egg. My husband made cornbread with no sugar, shortening and egg but cooked it in a hot skillet with a small amount of oil. It had to be cooked in a square skillet in order to have corners. They both were good. I make cornbread from the little package that you can get at Walmart.  Read more in our e-edition: http://www.etypeservices.com/SWF/LocalUser/Casscounty1//Magazine30570/Full/index.aspx?id=30570
