CHAPMAN A native of Liberty Kentucky, and an only son of Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Chapman. Liberty, Ky., continues to be the home of his parents, also one of his two sisters, Mrs. W. W. Bradley, with Mrs. Essie Sharpe, of Cincinnatti, completing the family group. Mr. Chapman took up bookkeeping on leaving home which he followed for nine years. He has followed the barber business for the past eighteen years, coming to Conyers direct from Washington City, in May, 1927. He served in the Cuban Pacification Army, 1908-1911, following the Spanish-American war. Mr. Chapman was married in Atlanta in 1916 to Miss 11a Hale, daughter of the late Mr. R. J. D. Hale and Mrs. Georgia Hale, who now re sides in Conyers. s Half of the Entire Population at Church Can you imagine IHI of our ‘JIMto people being at Sunday Well. we have it from Hubert I’irklc, who with his family, visited Mr. and Mrs. .1 hi> It. I'lrkle. Sunday, that Mayfield Insists of only two hundred p ople and that there are more than one bun dled of them in Sunday school every Sunday With our present attendance el siindity school and preaching, too. if you please, it would la* terrible it our population fell off to two hun dred people. Why, bless your heart, it's got so there's not enough people at church | (l even have a choir an average choir 101 l would hold the en tire audience. We laymen say its the preachers’ fault and it may he that the preacher says it's the laymen's fault anyway, so far as we've heard, neither lias admitted any faults. It used to he that you could go out to eliurcli and find the pastor in a scrap with the devil, at least talking hack to him, hut now it's different, 'ton don't even hear 'em condemn card playing, dancing or divorces. About the only thing they harp on much is lieker drinking just like they don’t know that there ain’t no lieker. It's true, we drank something the other night that wasn’t water, hut old man I!. M. Hose never would say it was lieker and likewise, when you see us out on the floor, you never would swear 'hat we were dancing. There fore. the only thing against us is that what we drunk smells had and when on the floor we hold a lady around the waist instead id' by the arm. We went up to the Methodist, church Sunday morning and led the singing. Had those people walking about, too. It was right funny the way we caught ,Superintendent Vaughn napping. He wanted just the men to sing a verse and they did and did it well. We then had Supt. Vaughn and Secretary Dan Patrick to sing the next verse with us as a triple. The difference lie tween a triple and a trio is that you listen to one and laugh at the othei — even Billy Mann and Clifford Patrick, two hard boiled school hoard members, smiled when Clarence got up to sing whatever it is that he doesn’t sing. Sorry, hut it looks like we won’t he invited up there any more on account of this. Mrs. G. C. (ioggans visited h r par ents, Mr. and Mrs. W. 1!.
