Heflin, Cleburne Co., Alabama NEWSPAPER Issue of Thursday, NOVEMBER 29, 1934 LETTER TO THE EDITOR, From Jesse H. Otwell of Lenox, Ga. Nov. 19, 1934 Dear Editor, I wish to say that the 17 days we spent in Cleburne county and north Georgia were like home-coming to us, and best of all, we found everybody in good health, although old age is creeping upon us all; looking into the faces of so many people I have known all my life, I could see that age was changing their faces. On Sept. 23 we had a birthday dinner at the home of J.A. Batchelor. Lindsey Batchelor and my little girl had a joint birthday dinner, the former being 28 years old and Avis Otwell was 12. Everybody seemed to enjoy the dinner. The table was out on the porch loaded with good, old Alabama rations; everything just suited to my taste and I think we all gained a few pounds. Thirty-two persons were present to enjoy the repast. Mr. and Mrs. Batchelor were so happy to see all their children and grandchildren, sons-in-law and daughter-in-law at home again and all in good health. After dinner we spent the afternoon talking of things that had passed and of things of the future and the "coming of Jesus". Ed, pay me a visit and we will slip off and get a nice mess of catfish and an alligator for you a souvenir. At this writing my family is enjoying the best of health and hope all in Cleburne are enjoying the same blessing. >From an old Cleburne countain, Jesse H.
