The Searcy County Historical Society will meet Friday, April 26, at 7:00 pm in Marshall’s Fi8rst Christian Church. The guest speaker will be Holly Hope, Special Projects Historian for Arkansas Historic Preservation Program of the Division of Arkansas Heritage. Her topic will be the best way to organize a cemetery clean up and how to be safe while doing it. She also talks on cemetery symbolism.

(StatePoint) About 7,000 children in the United States visit emergency rooms for battery-related injuries each year, according to the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System. Lithium coin batteries, those small, disc-shaped batteries about the size of a nickel, are particularly dangerous. The exact right size to get lodged in a child’s throat if accidentally swallowed, they can turn deadly, burning a hole in an esophagus in as little as two hours. And, they’re everywhere – in key fobs, key finders, flameless candles, remote controls, thermometers and many common home devices.

I hope he gives up soon! We did a little more work around the house then it was time to clean up and go to Bible study. We had some real good grilled burgers and hot dogs for supper. Then a strawberry pie for dessert and we also had a butterscotch dessert. I don’t know which one was the best. They were both delicious.
