relationship can bring about?
In many ways marriage is
paralleled with our relationship^
to Christ-walking with Him is"
beautiful - yet difficult -
sometimes even excruciating, but
walking on through to the End -
there could be nothing more
beautiful. Nothing in this world
compares, but a marriage - a
really committed two people who
are married strike a parallel
worth noticing.
This is not a sermon. It is
thoughts - finally collected
together - through the feelings and
heart of a woman who didn't
make that first beautiful side of
the parallel. Her marriage didn't
last. She fell, into the "pit" of
divorce along with so many
¡hers. But she's still very muofcV

discovered that "He" who still
walks with her is REAL and that

ty Up ll Per Cent
AlJOTiN-Cherokee
County received $4,968,000
of the State's $7,032,369,000
travel receipts in 1978, a
national study
commissioned by the
Texas Tourist
Development Agency has
disclosed.
The 1978 figures reflect
an increase of 11 percent in
travel receipts over Í977' -
for Cherokee CGUMy. Í
In addition
receipts, the
that
1978 had

yroll of
9208,000
in local
visltqrfcln 1978.
Thej
JJtUdy was done by
the OVS. Tiavel Data
Center in Washington D C.,
an independent travel
research organization
funded jointly by public
and private sectors.
It was based on the
Centers Travel Economic
Impact Model which
breaks out a state's share
of the national travel
market on a county-by-
county basis.
The model measures the
economic impact of all
travel involving overnight
trips away from home, and
day trips at least 100 miles
or more from home. Thus it
includes travel by Texans
as well as out-of-state
visitors, fqr all purposes.
It JMMfe estimates of
the tn|p$r's speeding at
for the
trip, MftSpending en route,
and that at his destination.
Basic data for the model
comes from the National
Travel Survey, conducted
every five years by the U.S.
Census Bureau, and from
the Center's own National
Travel Expenditure Model.
It was the latter which
estimated that in 1975
Texas had dislodged New
York for third place in the
nation's travel industry.
The 1978 figures, however,
show Texas back in fourth
place behind California,
Florida and New York
We're pleased that travel
research techniques have
finally developed to the
point that states can
determine where, within
their boundaries, travel
dollars are spent and
travel-related jobs exist,
said Frank Hildebrand,
executive director of the
Texas Tourist
Development Agency
"Now we can trace
travel's considerable
economic impact on a
county-by-county basrs,
observe changing patterns
annually, and help direct
the rapid growth of this
burgeoning industry."

Blackboqrne Hall, by Elissa
Grandower, is another interesting
mystery «amanee to follow in the
style of Sfeavlew Manor, and The
Room of Morgate House. In this
story Alden Deveraux must find
out why her sister died... even
though it would mean that she
would be next in line to die.
In A Walk Across America, by
Peter Jenkins, readers will follow
Peter and his dog Cooper as they
rediscover America. Peter also
tells what he found in a Joyous
celebration of a land and its people.
It ii a book for Americans to take
to their hearts with love and pride.

Thaddius BOONE married
Sarah THOMAS and Joseph
BOONE married Harriet THOMAS
making their children double first
cousins. Thaddius Boone and
Sarah had, among others, Carrie
Elizabeth BOONE, b. 2 October
1895 Woodware County, Oklahoma-
my grandmother. When she was a
few years old they traveled toward
New Mexico. On the way they
came upon the burning fires of
what once had been a party of
wagons and people-Geronimo had
left his mark. Had the BOONE
party been an hour earlier, the line
would have ended many years ago.
They settled in the area of Silver
City or Demming in New Mexico.
Another child was bom about
1900-1, but mother and child both
died—she was only about 30 years
old.
