Lewis County Herald - Serving Hohenwald, Lewis County Tennessee Since 1898

We have moved back into a light fall time again and the temperatures have been moderate and not so cold at night. The leaves are really falling and many have been mowing or raking them to burn when they can or putting them on garden spots. Either way, it is still lots of work to keep it done and then the next day it has to be done again until all the leaves are off the trees. The sunshine has been pretty the last few days although the wind was quite brisk on Sunday afternoon. We are enjoying some beautiful fall days and the foliage is just beautiful. I hope you have had the chance to get out and enjoy it.

We express sympathy to the families of Lola Lavern Wilson, Sarah Jane Barber McCoy, Bernice Mamie Himes, Bertram Adolphis Moore III, Barbara Ann Clayton, Cynthia Denise Cleaton, Ernest Dwayne Spann, and Emma Lucille Johnson. Prayers for these families and any other families who have lost loved ones.

Prayers for our nation during this time when it seems the virus is taking more of a hold on the area and many have been hospitalized with the issue. We pray this will soon go away and we can be back to our normal life and enjoy the things we used to do. For now, we just have to be careful and not go places where we can be infected with the virus. Prayers that you and your family will be okay and not be affected by the virus.

Halloween will soon be here and the children will be enjoying trunk or treat at many places. Some are having parties in some areas. Please be careful and take precautions when you are around a lot of people.

Praying you and your family will have a great week and the coming days. We are almost at the end of October and this year will soon be gone. Hopefully you will get out and vote because that is the only way our opinion can be noted and count in our nation.
