MADISON – The Madison Fire and Rescue team last week received a second infant surrender through the Safe Haven Baby Box located at Fire Station 1. After initial assessment and care provided by the MFR team, the infant was transferred to Madison Hospital via HEMSI for further evaluation DHR has been notified, and agencies are currently working for the best interest of the child.

“The city of Madison recognizes the immense need for resources for mothers-in-crisis and will continue to provide trusted emergency response to every infant placed in the Safe Haven Box,” stated Samantha Magnuson Communications and External Affairs Director for the city of Madison. Magnuson said the city is not publicly revealing the date the infant was left at the Safe Haven Box or gender to avoid compromising the anonymity of the child or mother

The first Safe Haven Baby Box in the state of Alabama opened in Madison on Jan 10. The box was the result of combined efforts between Safe Haven, the City of Madison, Madison Fire and Rescue and Kids to Love It allows women another place to safely surrender their babies besides the hospital while remaining anonymous

The box was used for the first time just twelve days after its installation when a mother surrendered her newborn daughter

Further resources are available through the Safe Haven Organization with free confidential counseling via their hotline 1-86699BABY1.

By BRUCE WALKER Columnist

you had a phone; three four, even seven or eight families would share the line with you. You listened for your special ring; ours was three long and two shorts When momma would answer the phone, you could count on at least two other “listeners.” They tried to be discreet but there is nothing secretive about a loud click announcing your presence We had a neighbor notorious for listening in. Mother, when she was talking to one of her sisters and “discussing” another family member, she would say, “Earlene, now hang up, this is private.”

Many of the men including four of my uncles, home from World War II, couldn’t find sufficient work in St Clair County, Al.; they went north to Detroit to work in the automobile factories Even though they worked there for years, they did not consider that “home.”

They would make the 700mile trek back to their home place for holidays and family get-togethers Grandma’s phone for long-distance calls had a special long-distance operator’s ring. When an uncle called to give their travel plans, several others on the party line would pick up and by nightfall ev-

eryone in Walker’s Bend would know the “Walker Boys” were headed home from DEEE-troit.

One year, Uncle Delbert, the youngest boy, called Grandma and told her to save a spot for Rosaline at the Christmas table; they had a big announcement to make Rosaline was 30 years older than Delbert and owned a big farm at the edge of town. Listening in, Earlene was beside herself with that news; the Spinster and 24-yearold Delbert were getting married!! She spread it far and wide, a big juicy scandal was brewing, and she had inside information! In town Rosaline was asked when the big day was going to take place, puzzled, she didn’t know what to make of that question!

Delbert made it home and when he stopped by Ullie’s general store the men sitting on the front porch playing checkers, winked and slapped him on the back and said, “You sly old dog.” Finally, Grandma asked him, “Now what’s this big announcement you and Rosaline are going to make at dinner tomorrow night? I’ve had three phone calls telling me what you and Rosaline are up to, and it is absolutely a disgrace.”

Delbert cleared his throat, “Rosaline said a young man’s energy is what she needed…… she wants me to have her farm; since she never married and does not have any family, so I took the job Evelyn and I are getting married and building a house down in the back forty on the farm near the river Tomorrow night I am announcing I am coming home for good!”

Jumping conclusions is like jumping a mud puddle; if you miss-judge you wind up getting muddy yourself. Served her right, Earline couldn’t get her money back on the dress she had bought for that “scandalous” wedding!

What Is Leap Year?

The year 2024 is a Leap Year! So, what exactly is a leap year? The Earth takes one day to completely rotate on its axis and approximately one year to rotate once around the Sun; the timing isn’t perfect, so about every four years, an extra day is added to our calendar to keep the days aligned with the movement of Earth’s orbit through the Solar System If not corrected, after 100 years of using the calendar, the date would be almost an entire month ahead of the actual current season In the United States, and all countries that use the Gregorian calendar, the extra day is February 29 (Most modern countries use the Gregorian calendar ) Leap Year generally occurs every four years, but not always Three rules dictate when a leap year will occur: first, every year that is divisible by four is a leap year; second, if that year that is divisible by four is also divisible by 100, then it is not a leap year; and third, if that same year is also divisible by 400, then it is a leap year The rules are complicated but their placement keeps our clock on track with the natural daytime and nighttime produced by the Earth’s orbit around the sun and the movement of the moon around the Earth The longest period that can occur between leap years is eight years. The last eight-year span occurred between 1896 and 1904 Other calendars, such as the Chinese, Jewish, and Hindu calendars, add extra months periodically to remain accurate Although no calendar is perfectly accurate, the Iranian calendar, which is an ancient calendar formed by the Persians (still with some slight reforms) is still in use today People who are born on a leap day usually have the option, given where they live, to have February 28 or March 1 as their official birthday; which serves to keep yearly records accurate

Alabama Amendment 1, Exempt Local Bills from Budget Isolation Resolution Amendment (March 2024) - Ballotpedia

State Senator Clyde Chambliss Jr (R-Prattville), who sponsored Amendment One in the state senate said he proposed the change to remove an “unnecessary hurdle that has really had no effect on legislation Sonny Brasfield executive director of the Association of County Commissions of Alabama, said the change would “remove questions about how you can effectively and constitutionally move a local bill forward,” and remove “any kind of question that could be raised about the number of votes that were required to get the bill to the point that it could be passed ”

A conservative think-tank, the Alabama Policy Institute (API) has conducted a study of Amendment One titled Ballot Language & Policy Analysis

The study concluded:

Being touted by proponents as an effort to streamline government, the amendment would allow local laws and local constitutional amendments to be passed by the Legislature before the state General Fund and Education Trust Fund budget have been adopted. While API is all for streamlining state government, that is not at all what Statewide Amendment 1 would do Under section 71 01 of the Alabama Constitution the only statutory obligation of the Legislature is to enact state budgets each year The Constitution requires that the annual budgets be considered before all other legislative items However, since 1984, a process has been in place where a 3/5th majority of the Legislature can adopt something called the Budget Isolation Resolution (BIR) before moving on to the consideration of non-budget related bills if the state s operating budgets have not been enacted It is in effect a double vote on every bill until the budgets are passed; the intent is to make it harder for legislators to ignore the constitutional directive to focus on the budgets

For general bills, the 3/5th vote requirement is a simple yes or no process because most legislators cast a vote However there is a gentlemen’s agreement for legislators to abstain from voting on local bills that do not directly impact their districts That agreement and practice caused a question of the integrity of the process

In 2015, a County Circuit Court judge declared a Jefferson County local law invalid because the Legislature had not met the 3/5th BIR threshold due to hat-tip ab-

stentions To counteract the Jefferson County ruling statewide voters approved a constitutional amendment in 2016 that retroactively validated all local legislation passed between 1984 and November of 2016 Since 2016 the Legislature has operated under the premise that a 3/5th vote of a quorum (11 members in the Senate and 32 in the House) satisfies the BIR requirement However legal challenges have continued Statewide Amendment 1 would retroactively validate all local legislation passed since 2016

After March 5, 2024, a BIR would no longer be required to debate and pass local bills and local constitutional amendments that come before the Legislature in the absence of the state budgets being enacted The point proponents say is to be able to pass local bills faster and easier while ameliorating the lingering legal issues That is not streamlining government it is fast-tracking it Legislative hurdles are there for a reason The process is supposed to be arduous, messy and methodical not quick or easily manipulated from the top-down API has several concerns with no longer requiring a BIR for local bills The BIR debate is an important part of the legislative process and can halt (or at least slow down) bad policy from passing Doing away with the BIR vote for local bills would also make it easier to pass local constitutional amendments, such as the “local” expansion of gambling (Senate Bill 324) that passed the Senate during the 2023 regular session In fact many bills being presented as local bills have the potential to have an impact on the entire state beyond the geographic area that they directly affect

The solution to the problem isn’t a further subversion of the Legislature s constitutional duty to enact budgets above all other matters to accommodate questionable legislative practices The solution to the problem isn t more control from the top or having fewer votes The clear solution to the problem is for our legislature to participate in less hat-tipping votes and abstentions Members of the Alabama legislature should accept the accountability of voting for or against every piece of legislation that is brought to the floor; that is the only way to truly be accountable to those of us they represent

Few Alabama voters know they will be asked to vote on a constitutional amendment on March 5 Fewer still know what it is about Jim Zeigler is a former Alabama Public Service Commissioner and State Auditor You can reach him for comments at ZeiglerElderCare@yahoo com

Patriots learn a lot facing heavyweight Vestavia Hills

By CALEB ODOM

MADISON

The Bob Jones boys soccer team was locked in a battle with one of the best clubs in the state, Vestavia Hills

Both benches were yelling instructions through the chilling wind as the ball traded possessions

“You picked a good one to come to,” Bob Jones head coach Michael Parker said during the match as he grabbed a quick drink of water

The Patriots would fall to the Rebels 4-3 in a tightly contested match that came down to the final minutes

But this contest was so much more than just a loss for Bob Jones it showed the Patriots that they could go toe to toe with the big dogs of 7A soccer

Vestavia Hills was powered by the massive senior striker Alec Paraiso who tallied the final two goals in the 71’ and 78’ minutes to tie and eventually win the match for the Rebels

Bob Jones senior Owen Tarrer scored twice in the match on penalty shots in the 40’ and 59’ minutes

“I was really proud of our boys,” Parker said

“It was 16 seniors on one side compared to two on the other I was really proud of the way our boys stepped up [Friday] and met that challenge.”

The contest had a slight delay to the start because Vestavia Hills had been stuck in traffic for hours with the highway being shut down.

Once the match began, Bob Jones was very tight in this game that had so much riding on it.

The Patriots were showing some nerves with rushed passes as the Rebels seemed to sit back and let

Basketball

Bob Jones give it to them.

The patience paid off for Vestavia Hills just after a set piece when senior midfielder Blair Steele buried a ball in the back of the net for a goal in the 30’ minute to make it 1-Nil Rebels

Bob Jones was able to even the match up at 1-1 just before halftime when a penalty shot was awarded to the Patriots

Tarrer had the ball on his foot for the PK and he scorched it past the Vestavia Hills goalie Jackson Brewer in the 40’ minute

Early in the second half, the Rebels wasted no time attacking Bob Jones with striker Reid Laughlin.

The big senior sent a laser just over the Patriot crossbar that was nearly in.

A minute later the ball found Laughlin again and this time, he didn’t miss as the striker took some power off of his shot to tuck the ball perfectly out of the reach of Bob Jones goalie Ian Shellabarger near the right post to make it 2-1 Vestavia in the 44’ minute

As the game wore on, Bob Jones built more confidence with possession of the ball which led to more play in the final third of the field

The Patriots were controlling the ball and this was creating more scoring opportunities so it was just a matter of time before the home team was going to cash in

In the 59’ minute, Bob Jones tied the match back up at 2-2 when the junior Gedion Oxley scored with a laser of a shot that climbed toward the top right corner of the goal.

“It all started when it came in and Owen got the ball and Owen looked up and he saw me,” Oxley said.

“I was going for the ball. I just first-time touched it and I believed in myself, and I just scored there.”

With the match knotted up, it was

while senior Janiyah Bone ended up with 12 points in the loss

Hoover was led by Khloe Ford with 16 points while Aaliyah Blanchard had 14 and Ariana Peagler collected 12

The Lady Patriots took control of the game leading 17-11 after one quarter of action

It was more of the same in the second quarter as Bob Jones remained out front 35-26 by halftime

The scoreboard gleamed 51-38 Lady Patriots after three quarters of play

It all went wrong in the fourth

quarter though.

Hoover found another gear in the final eight minutes as Bob Jones struggled to score

All the teams that come up short in the postseason have plenty of questions with some disappointment

Despite all of that, Bob Jones still had a strong year and had so much to be proud of.

These Lady Patriots racked up 29 victories this year that included winning a prestigious Nike Tournament in Arizona.

Bob Jones won the regular season

like the Patriots could smell the blood in the water

Bob Jones had Vestavia Hills on its back foot suddenly and the Patriots continued to attack the Rebels in front of the net.

Seconds after the Oxley goal, a Bob Jones player was taken down for a second penalty shot.

Tarrer stepped up once more and he made it look easy as the senior gave the Patriots the 3-2 advantage still in the 59’ minute

“It’s my job I’ve been doing this for like 13 years and I’m very experienced in pens,” Tarrer said.

It was almost a storybook for Bob Jones to come back like this and take down mighty Vestavia Hills in this fashion.

Maybe some of the Patriot players even thought something like that, but the match was far from over

The Rebels came back to life with their big bodies up front and their physical style of play

Perhaps Bob Jones wore out more than it took its foot off the gas pedal.

Whatever the case was, there were defensive breakdowns in the final 15 minutes that allowed Paraiso to score goals in the 71’ and 78’ minutes to crush Bob Jones’ hopes of an impressive victory

“We got comfortable and then a lack of effort in the last 15 minutes,” Tarrer said.

“Whether it be exhaustion or simply just thinking we had the game in the bag, we just stopped trying and we just let them put two more past us It’s upsetting, but I know we can come back now.”

The energy on the field after the match was one of what could have been for the dispirited Patriots who trudged toward the locker room through the cold wind.

Bob Jones plays host to Austin on Monday March 3 at 7:15 p.m.

area crown for the third straight year, and a third straight area tournament appearance

The Lady Patriots have two girls playing in an Alabama-Mississippi All-star game while the school has four seniors moving on to play college basketball.

“The seniors have left a huge impact on our program,” Carr said. They have led us to three consecutive winning seasons Over four years they have a combined 97 wins They have left a mark on what it means to work hard consistently ”

James Clemens baseball finding footing in young season

By CALEB ODOM caleb@themadisonrecord.com

MADISON - The James Clemens Jets had a solid stretch of home games this past weekend as the 2024 season is just getting going

JC took down Huntsville 3-1 on Thursday at home and then split a Saturday double header with an 8-2 defeat of Alexandria and a narrow 9-7 loss to North Jackson on Senior Day

In the Huntsville game last Thursday, the Jets used a strong outing on the mound from pitcher Cade McComb who went five innings where he allowed one run and three hits with a pair of walks and six strikeouts

All of the scoring came in second inning as Huntsville picked up a run in the top of the second to lead briefly at 1-0 before James Clemens fired back with three runs to go up 3-1

It was station to station baseball for the Jets as two walks by Satchel Wheeler and David Sharp and a single by JT Johnson came in to score in the bottom of the second

Those three runs would prove to be all JC would need to put the Panthers away

Aldridge

Saturday Game 1: James Clemens 8, Alexandria 2

The Jets scored early and often in the morning game of the double header to cruise to victory against the Valley Cubs James Clemens pitcher Satchel Wheeler was lights out for his team with a six-inning showing that allowed just one run with four hits, just one walk and 6 K’s

The Jets soared out to a 4-0 advantage in the bottom of the second inning.

Alexandria would score a run in the top of the fourth before JC responded in the bottom of the fourth with two more runs to make it 6-1

James Clemens added two more runs in the bottom of the fifth inning to balloon the lead to 8-1 before the Valley Cubs scored a run in the top of the seventh inning.

Saturday Game 2: North Jackson 9, James Clemens 7

top of the first to lead 1-0, but that excitement was premature as the Chiefs proceeded to take advantage of some control issues by the Jets pitchers

Six walks over the course of 2 2/3 innings by the JC arms tells the only story there was

North Jackson tallied five runs in the second and three runs in the third to essentially bury James Clemens early in the game

It was looking pretty bleak out there with that cold air cutting through people in the stands as the Jets worked to dig out of the hole

A guy for James Clemens who could not be denied at the plate was the right fielder Carson Loosier who was a perfect 4 for 4 with 3 RBIs and three runs scored Loosier was always out there when the Jets were clawing back into the game

JC scored a run in the bottom of the third inning to trail the Chiefs 8-2. James Clemens added another run in the bottom of the fifth before erupting for three runs in the bottom of the sixth inning to come within two runs of North Jackson.

The bottom of the sixth was loaded with action from the Jets hitters as the frozen fans broke the air with cheers of excitement

It all started with a leadoff walk by the catcher Ben Graves that was followed by a single by the centerfielder David Sharp

Despite making the first out Chase Hornbuckle s bunt moved Graves and Sharp to third and second base

Having already collected two singles and a walk in the game, up stepped the aforementioned Loosier who proceeded to blast his teammates in for two runs with a cracking double to make it 8-5 Chiefs

James Clemens tacked on a third run in the sixth to make it 8-6 when the shortstop Francisco Ramirez followed Loosier with an RBI double that kept the comeback train screaming forward North Jackson would add another run in the top of the seventh to make it 9-6, but JC was still right there with the comeback still brewing in the bottom of the seventh

A 1-out double by Graves would come around to score with two

passed and again the James Clemens administration reached out to the Danville coach This time, she was able to entertain the position at one of the largest schools in Alabama When I met with school officials I said I want to coach here,” added Aldridge On the court, Aldridge said of her coaching style, “I treat my players as adults I want them to feel supportive as they want stability within the program having Coach Genesis Taylor for just one season in 2023. I told these girls I want to be here ”

outs when Loosier drove him in James Clemens was down to its last out with Hornbuckle and Loosier on base The go-ahead run at the plate, Ramirez was up once again to terrorize the Chiefs who were just holding on at this point But it was not to be as a groundout ended the game for a disappointed Jets team who dug deep and almost pulled it off This game looked doomed for James Clemens in the early innings, but this team that lost some key senior leaders like shortstop Andrew Lawrence and catcher Colten Payton in the offseason showed a lot of

heart in this contest that might just be overlooked

A prime example of that was the outing from JC pitcher Matthew Drinkwater who came in to stop the bleeding and he gave his team 4 1/3 innings where he allowed just one run, five hits with three walks and five strikeouts James Clemens has a road game on Thursday at 4:30 p m against Huntsville High School before a special Saturday set of games at Toyota Field In the first leg of the Saturday doubleheader, the Jets will face East Limestone at 11 a m followed by a 4 p m matchup with Shelby County at the home of the Rocket City Trash Pandas

The Jets split a Saturday double header with an 8-2 defeat of Alexandria and a narrow 9-7 loss to North Jackson on Senior Day

Bob Jones Blue Knights take Overall Championship in Hazel Green drill meet

By GREGG PARKER

gregg@themadisonrecord com

MADISON – Continuing its string of top-ranking finishes, the Blue Knights in Air Force Junior ROTC or AFJROTC at Bob Jones High School earned the Unarmed Regulation Overall Championship at the Hazel Green High School Trojan Drill Meet.

‘Blue Knights’ is the moniker for the Bob Jones cadet corps

“Our Bob Jones Blue Knights put on another spectacular performance at the annual Hazel Green Trojan Drill Meet,” Chief Master Sgt. (ret.) Ellis Clark said. Clark works as an Aerospace Science Instructor at Bob Jones Maj. (ret.) Dr

Melissa Lacey also teaches aerospace science

“You can begin with Personnel Inspection, led by Cadet Charlotte Droege who led the team to take third place During the inspection,

the cadets were graded on uniform appearance military bearing and their knowledge of the military and current events,” Clark said.

“Later in the drill competition Cadet Droege also commanded the Armed squad routine where the team performed superbly and took first place,” Clark said.

Cadet Veronica Layne confidently commanded the Unarmed squad routine that resulted in another first-place win Cadet Esteban Del Rio Perez commanded the Unarmed Color Guard routine, and the team captured second place “Cadet Lucy Halter did an amazing job commanding the Unarmed Flight Regulation routine that earned the team second place,” Clark said. Cadet Caitlyn Johnston was a skilled commander for the New Cadet Squad Regulation Routine; the group achieved first-place honors “I want to give kudos to our new

cadets who not only rose to the occasion to keep our first-place winning streak going for the New Cadet routine, but I think it is important to know that they came in with a 25-point deficit assessed against them because they were short one person,” Clark said. “Their performance speaks volumes about their dedication and focus.”

Collectively, the performances of Bob Jones Blue Knights garnered them the Unarmed Regulation

Overall Championship Cadets who participated in the Hazel Green drill were Vincent Franz Colon, Ava Curtis, Steeler Daw, Neil DiGennaro, Charlotte Droege Alexander Dyer Audrey Ellis Nick Fury Lucy Halter Logan Jackson, Caitlyn Johnston, Laiken Justice, Veronica Layne, Elizabeth Lee Esteban Del Rio Perez, Anthony Rivera, Danielle Roberts, Gary Stephenson, Kaitlyn Thompson and Sydney Turpin

The

Alook at the history of Daniel Wallace during the times of Reconstruction

By JOHN P RANKIN Madison Historian

MADISON - During many years of researching pioneer land ownership of the western part of Madison County, I was startled to see several listings in the deed index for parcels sold by Daniel Wallace to many of the Madison town pioneers I had never before noticed anyone named Daniel Wallace associated with Madison’s early days Furthermore James Clemens was the original landowner who subdivided part of his holdings into 55 lots what became the early town of Madison in the mid-1850s There was no record of a Daniel Wallace who purchased any part of the Clemens land to later be in a position to sell it to early Madison settlers Yet, Volume 1 of the Madison County General Index to Real Property (land) listed eight deed recordings as sales by Daniel Wallace to known Madison pioneers for land in the immediate area of the town in the post-Civil War period of 1869 through 1876 According to the land deed index, buyers of land from Wallace included such Madison notables as Isaac F Deloney, Elijah M Fitz, George Washington Martin, William R Johnston, Samuel A Pepper John D Tanner and Thomas J Clay Johnston was even the first Mayor of Madison at the time of the recording of the sale by Wallace while George W Martin was Madison’s first lot owner, first merchant, and lifetime resident of the area

Adding to the enigma was the fact that the reverse index showed no land purchases whatsoever by Daniel Wallace, nor was he listed as ever acquiring land directly from the government That left the question of how Daniel Wallace came into possession of Clemens land to sell to the Madison pioneers More specifically who was Daniel Wallace? To understand and resolve the puzzle, I began a deeper investigation of census records to see where

Wallace lived during the last half of the 1800s Strangely, there was no Daniel Wallace in Madison County’s census records of 1850 or 1860 There was only one in 1870 and he was listed as a Black

age 50, born in Virginia That one was not listed in the 1880 census, but there was a Daniel Wallace Black male age 12 born in Alabama and listed in a household in the Hazel Green area This younger Daniel Wallace was likewise listed in the later census records of the county as he matured No other entries were found for a Daniel Wallace in the old census records for Madison County indicating that the land seller must have died in the late 1870s, before the 1880 census was taken, if indeed this Black man was the seller of the land to Madison pioneers

My next step in the investigation was to check the actual deed recordings that were referenced in the index for any clues to the identity of Daniel or the process by which he obtained the land for the sales Since he was never listed as actually purchasing the lands himself it was puzzling that Daniel would be listed as the seller of the former Clemens parcels Of course, it occurred to me that perhaps Daniel was a former slave of James Clemens who may have been given the land of his former “owner” when he was freed This seemed logical since Clemens was known to have freed his 126 slaves from his two plantations before 1850, well before the Civil War or his own death in June of 1860

All of the property deeds in question turned out to actually be sales by the administrators of the Clemens estate, which was probated for 17 years and involved far more than the eight transactions with Madison pioneers The deed recordings referenced Case Number 689 in Chancery Court Record Book J (1877) with the corresponding details recorded in the Chancery Court Minute books, totaling about 200 pages for Case 689 Daniel Wallace (and others) were listed as defendants in a suit brought by Clemens’ administrators William Weeden and Robert S Spragins In court case minutes, it was disclosed that Daniel Wallace and the others were former Clemens slaves testifying that their labors amassed his wealth After emancipation and during the “Reconstruction” period, Daniel and the others must have appropriated or been granted by reconstruction officials a part of the property without it being officially recorded The court obviously ruled against Wallace and the others, because the Clemens estate administrators were subsequently ordered by the Chancery Court to sell the Clemens land for

settlement of the estate’s debts and to divide any residual assets among his heirs according to his last will and testament

After the local area April 27 tornadoes of 2011, many modern “reconstruction mortgages” were needed for rebuilding devastated communities in north Alabama That led me to remember the Wallace vs Clemens court case as being possibly a Civil War reconstruction era case Over the years as I continued my hobby of photographing all of Madison County’s land records in the deed books of the 1800s, I reached the period of reconstruction” after the Civil War At that time the need for mortgages was not so much to enable rebuilding of demolished dwellings Rather, mortgages were needed to enable destitute farmers to purchase supplies for planting crops and to feed their families until new crops could be harvested and sold Accordingly I noticed that many of the former slaves and even some plantation owners borrowed money for these purposes and used their property as collateral against the loans

Since I learned about many of the pioneer families by photographing their land transactions I often stopped operating my camera to read the details of the loans and mortgages to the families of that time In the process, I have realized something about the hardships of life for farmers in those days During the same period, several notable landowners and merchants increased their wealth and land holdings quite dramatically

Some landowners and merchants apparently came through the war period with considerable resources still at hand including United States currency because of the occupation of this area by Union troops during the war They may have transacted business with the occupying Union troops in this area in order to keep their estates solvent Yet many more Southerners had lost nearly everything in the war especially those who had extensively converted to Confederate money After the war the freed former slaves began to rent acreage from the land owners and the Freedmen’s Bureau facilitated their actual purchase of lands whenever possible Both the former slaves and the poorer land-owning Confederate soldiers who returned home from the battles needed money to begin farming and to await harvest time while supplying food for their families The needed funds were often obtained through “account advances” or mortgage liens from merchants and others who had accumulated cash capital Unfortunately the process was based upon considerable risk for the borrowers

Mortgage Book 66 in 1867 contains records of liens against expected crops and equipment taken by such Madison-area men as R D Tribble, John W Farrald, John Landers and numerous others for supplies and cash advanced by Madison merchants James H Bibb and George W Martin and by landowner Owen Jamar Of course they were simply helping the families of the area survive the hard times by making the loans However, other merchants charged up to 20 percent interest, while Martin and Bibb generally did not even specify a rate for interest In one particular case that I noticed in detail Alex Bradford (a “colored” man) rented 150 acres by pledging one-third of the crop produce and borrowing $125 at 8% interest from partners William B Dunn, James H Pride, and James H Bibb (Deed Book GG, pages 51-4) However, in this contract some unusual additional stipulations were made The wording included a restriction that prior to the division of the harvest, no part of the required crops of oats, corn, and cotton could be used by Bradford without a full accounting The agreement further specified that with respect to the partners land -- There will be no promiscuous visiting allowed during working days ” Alex Bradford must have had quite a reputation among the ladies of the time, but there was no speci

When you don’t know what to do

By BECKY MILLER God’s Lemonade Stand

“Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.”

Proverbs 3:5-6

Some reading this would say ‘get a hobby’ but getting a hobby doesn’t solve all of life’s issues Broken hearts still exist no matter how many hobbies you participate in.

I guarantee you there are people around you who need prayer a friend, a smile, a card, a phone call, and a happy text. Whatever is on your mind today give it to God. This is a spiritual discipline you have heard me men-

tion before There is that word, discipline Does that remind you of the military?

Nevertheless, as trite as it sounds God does love you. He loves hearing from you daily He wants you to know He is here to set free redeem, restore and renew no matter what is going on or how impossible you think a situation is Also He is patient not wishing anyone to perish (See 2 Peter 3:9).

PRAYER: Lord, I thank you for caring for me even when I become speechless and don’t know how to pray You know my heart and you are aware of my overwhelming hurts In Jesus’ name Amen.

Taking matters into my own hands

By DAWN REED

When the box of Kleenex’s fell behind the dryer, I didn’t think it would be a big deal. Knowing that it would be a fire hazard to leave it, I shimmied up on the dryer as best as a 61-year-old woman could to retrieve it. My arms were not long enough

“I will get it!” my beloved called from the other room. But I didn’t want him to; I wanted to do it myself I always have to have help Surely, I could just do this alone Trying every mop, broom, and duster I found nothing to latch on to it. “Just wait!” he yelled, knowing I was trying to work it out on my own. I didn’t listen.

I tried to get between the washer and dryer I tried to move the washer out but it was too heavy Then, refusing to wait for help I found that I could move out the dryer It was so easy! Much lighter than the washer

“I got it!” I announced to my beloved, thrilled with my self-suffi-

ciency “Did you pull out the dryer?” he asked.

“I sure did!” I responded proudly

“Did you pull off the dryer vent?”

I took a peek behind the dryer Aww man, I sure had!

Now we, namely HE, had to fix what I had messed up My beloved disconnected the washer took the water hose loose from the wall, and moved it out. In a too small space, he reconnected the dryer hose using pliers, a screwdriver and reading glasses

The good news was that we got the box of tissues! The bad news was by jumping in, not waiting for help, and doing things on my own, I caused more trouble than necessary

That same scenario can happen when I pray I present my problems to my heavenly Father and then immediately want to help Him work it out. “I can do this!” or “I’ve got this!” I think to myself.

Waiting on the Lord and His timing is always best. Psalm 27:14 strongly encourages, “Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD.” There David,

the writer, said it twice in one sentence But waiting isn’t fun. I want to jump into action

When I want to move ahead on my own, the Bible directs me to just be still. David writes in Psalm 37:7, “Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for Him…” Then Exodus 14:14 reminds me “The Lord will fight for you; you only need to be still.” Being still can be a struggle What can I say? I’m wiggly Psalm 130:5 brings the waiting and being still together: “I wait for the LORD, my whole being waits, and in His word I put my hope.”

When your whole being waits you are completely still.

God is good. He can be trusted He knows how all the puzzle pieces of my life need to be put together He has a plan for my life If I fully surrender to Him, His plan, and His timing, it will be much better than when I take matters into my own hands Isaiah 40:31 is another reminder:

“But those who wait on the Lord will renew their strength…” Those who do not wait will pull the dryer vent loose Lesson learned.
