O, YE MEN AND WOMEN, YOUTHS, AND MAIDENS AND LITTLE CHILDREN; ALL YE PEOPLE OF LAKESIDE, LISTEN TO THE WORK OF WISDOM FROM THE PEN OF YOUR PROPHET WHO NOW SPEAKETH UNTO YOU WHAT HATH BEEN REVEALED UNTO HIM, EVEN AS IT HATH BEEN DECREED BY THE POWERS THAT BE. FOR IT HAS COME TO PASS THAT THE VEIL OF FUTURE HATH BEEN RENT IN TWAIN AND THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY HATH DESCENDED FROM THE SPHERES TO DEVELOP MY SOUL WITH HER MYSTIC POWERS.

     BEHOLD; AS THE VEIL PARTS INTO 1966 I SEE TROY DOOLEY AND HIS FAMILY OF A WIFE AND 17 CHILDREN SETTLED ON A LITTLE 2X4 FARM OUT IN THE HILLS OF CROWLEY'S RIDGE. THEY SEEM QUITE HAPPY. AS THIS VISION PASSES AWAY, I SEE BUD PETTY STANDING BEHIND AN ALTAR. HE IS A BACHELOR OF 42. AT THIS VISION PASSES AWAY, I SEE JOBY ROUSSEAU AND HIS SMALL FAMILY PEACEFULLY SITTING IN THE LIVING ROOM OF HIS WELL GROOMED HOME. HE IS A CONGRESSMAN.

     I SEE WELDON RILEY, HIS WIFE AND KIDS LIVING VERY HAPPY ON A LARGE PROSPEROUS FARM IN GREENE COUNTY. I SEE RANDLE GWYN, WHO WAS THE PRESIDENT OF THE SENIOR CLASS OF 1941, WHO HAS LIVED UP TO EXPECTATIONS, AND IS NOW GOVERNOR OF ARKANSAS. I SEE ROMA FAYE BAZZELL AN OLD MAID OF 42, A CAREER GIRL; SHE IS STENOGRAPHER FOR BLAND AND CO. SHE SEEMS VERY HAPPY. I SEE JOYACE BIGGS, HER HUSBAND AND 13 KIDS, LIVING IN A HOUSE BOAT ON THE ST. FRANCIS RIVER. MR. DOLITTLE HER HUSBAND IS SELLING FISH, AND MAKING MOONSHINE FOR A LIVING. I SEE LAVADNA MILES IN AFRICA HELPING THE SICK AND NEEDY. SHE IS A NURSE OF THE RED CROSS.

     WE COME UPON OPAL DOOLEY IN THE GOLDEN BELT CIRCUS; SHE IS FOLLOWING QUITE A DIFFERENT CAREER FROM THE ONE MISS BAZZELL SEEMED TO BE TAKING. SHE IS A TRAPEZE ARTIST. AS WE PASS ON THROUGH THE COUNTRY, WE SEE MISS BERNICE WHITE STILL UNMARRIED. SHE IS SEWING IN A LITTLE ROOM UPSTAIRS IN A TWO STORY BUILDING FOR NEEDY PEOPLE, AND AS WE LOOK AROUND, THIS SMALL TOWN HAPPENS TO BE PARAGOULD. INABETH WHITE IS IN NEW YOUR, MODELING DRESSES FOR MAY CO. SHE HAS BECOME WEALTHY, AND HAS NOTHING TO SUPPORT, EXCEPT HER DOG, FIFI, AND HERSELF. LASTLY, I SEE BUD THURMOND, A BRAKEMAN ON THE MISSOURI PACIFIC, MAKING AN HONEST LIVING FOR HIS FAMILY OF 6 BOYS AND 7 GIRLS.
