1t must be noted, says the reporter
OF the Morning NeVs, that little pa.
triotic story told by Representative
Chapman is what really brought the
House over to him in the game law
vote. He told how a farmer in Sussex
went out and shot a quail for his sick
ch'ld. This poor heart-brOken father
was carried before a justice of the
peace and fined $3.50, and he had to
sell his calf to pay the fine. Mr.. Chip.
mans voice trembled as he told this
story, and tears resembling base balls
rolled down his swarthy cheeks
When he reached the calf portion of
the story there wasn't a dry eve
between the corner and the water
cooler, and with husky voice every
man voted aye"

near the "Seven Hickories" on We'd

several years ago and last year his re-
naming daughter who was the stay of
the old folks, and thus his home was
broken up, his other children having
married and gone to shift for them
selves. He was particularly noted as
peach grower, and for some years
got returns for his peaches that were
astonishing to the average farmer. He
was thus enabled to buy farm in the
particular peach belt in which he had
been so successful. His remains were
buried at Manship Chapel, near Ches-
void on Saturday, at which place for
many years he had been a leading
member. 1t was u very lage funeral.
