aluminum fowl directly on top of the dough (covering the bottom and
sides of dough) and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake the
bottom crust for 10 minutes. Remove the pie plate from the oven and
remove the pie weights and foil. Place the apples and lemon juice in a
large bowl and mix well. In a smaller bowl, combine the brown sugar,
granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Sprinkle over the
apple mixture and toss to coat. Spoon the apple mixture into the
prepared crust. Cut the butter into small pieces and place on top of
the apples. Take the remaining pie crust and place over the apple
filling, crimping the outer edges with the bottom dough. Cut slits in
the top crust to allow steam to escape. Brush the top crust with half
and half and sprinkle with granulated sugar. Bake the pie for 10
minutes at 400 degrees. Reduce the temperature to 350 degrees and bake
for another 35 minutes or until the top crust is golden brown. Cool
completely before serving.

Springs native Cynthia Jeffries, a reporter for The Delta Democrat
Times in Greenville, received a coveted First Amendment Award Saturday
from the Society of Professional Journalists during their annual
meeting in Washington, D.C. She is the first Mississippian to ever
receive The First Amendment Award. The award recognizes and applauds

Jackson State University. She is the daughter of Lavora Jeffries and
the late Marion Jeffries. She was one of only two First Amendment Award

We are fortunate to be one of the eight nations in the world that
produce more food than we need. God has blessed us greatly, both
materially and spiritually. The combination of the two blessings is
what I am grateful for. Mary Doxey:
I guess every day should be a Thanksgiving Day, but I’m glad we have a
day set aside to have it. Personally, I’m thankful I have faith in a
good Lord who gives me more than I’ll ever give Him. This part of the
year my friends mean more to me than ever. I’m thankful for them ever
so much. And I’m particularly blessed with a family of three daughters,
a son, eight grandchildren, four sisters and a brother. Joseph Ford:
Originally Thanksgiving was for the corn harvest of the Pilgrims. Today
we tend to go more commercial than what is needed. To me, we must stop
and give thanks to the Lord for what He has given us --- a completion
of yet another harvest year. Elizabeth Stewart: Thanksgiving
means much more to me than just a holiday and a chance to eat good
food. Thanksgiving means being thankful for my country, my home, my
family, my health and most of all my friends. 50 Years Ago - October 17, 1957 15 years with telephone company Mrs.
