I want to congratulate Billy Vaughn, my brother-in-law, for being ordained as a deacon at First Baptist Church in Murfreesboro. Billy is one of those persons who has always been good and never would want to hurt anyone’s feelings.  In fact, he sometimes is too good for his own sake, because people take advantage of someone like Billy being so nice.
While thinking about Billy this week, I remembered when his parents and family lived in White County. Mr. Floyd kind of moved the family around quite a bit while sharecropping.  I don’t remember if Billy was in the first or second grade when it happened.
But he came home from school one day acting kind of strange.  Then when Billy was getting ready for bed, his sister, Reba, noticed some bruises on his back and legs.  At first he wouldn’t tell what had happened, but then admitted that two boys had beaten him. He was told if he mentioned it to the teacher that they would hurt him worse.
The next day, Mr. Floyd went to school to get Billy’s books. The teacher asked why.  Mr. Floyd said that Billy would not be back to school and then told what happened.  The teacher got in contact with the boys’ parents. They came to the Vaughn home to apologize and wanted Mr. Floyd to take his belt and whip their boys. Mr. Floyd refused and said he would not hurt another person’s child.
Well, both daddies took off their belts and gave their sons a whipping they would remember forever.
The next day and for rest of the time while Billy went to that school, he was treated like a king by the other boys and even the teacher.
