An unknown correspondent from Chapmanville in Logan County, West Virginia, offered the following items, which the Logan Banner printed on January 18, 1927:

Here comes some very interesting news from the little town of Chapmanville.

Rev. A.M. Dial of Huntington is holding a short revival at the Christian church at this writing.

We are sorry to announce the death of George Raines who was instantly killed Friday afternoon at 1:30 p.m. by a train. His family has our sympathy. He was 63 and is survived by his wife and ten children.

The death angel visited the home of Henry Hughes Monday night at 10:00 p.m. and took away his mother Mrs. Ellen Conley.

Wattie Workman was calling on Miss Gladys Lowe Sunday afternoon.

Greenway McCloud and Miss Katie Chapman were all smiles Sunday. Cheer up, Virginia. Katie may not be holding such a hand yet.

Combinations: Inez and her tobacco; Beulah and her spike heels; Bernice and her hat; Wetzel going to see Callie; Miss Collins attending Sunday school; Julia and her spit curl; Maranda and lip stick; Ruby and her rolled hose; Hazel McCloud and her pretty waves; Minnie and her galoshes; Wattie calling on Gladys; Rupert falling down; Lamar Collins singing his favorite song, Bye-Bye Blackbird; Dr. and his wheel; Mrs. Mattie Owens and her boyish bob.

An unknown correspondent from Chapmanville in Logan County, West Virginia, offered the following items, which the Logan Banner printed on January 4, 1927:

Umbrellas over our shoulders,

Mud all over our feet.

Ask a Chapmanville tax payer

Where is the nice paved street!

We hope every one has enjoyed Christmas, as it only comes once a year.

We surely have been having some rough weather. It seems as though Chapmanville is going to be overflown by water, if it keeps on raining.

Miss Opal Johnson who has been at Huntington for some time spent Christmas with her parents at this place.

Mr. and Mrs. B.E. Ferrell spent the weekend with home folks here.

Mr. Walter Ferrell seems to enjoy going up to Mr. Raines these days.

The Sunday School seems to be progressing very nicely since Mr. O.C. Winters has taken charge.

Miss Willa Lowe and Emmet Raines were seen out walking Sunday evening.

There were new pupils at Sunday School Sunday. Come again boys. We are glad to have you. Everyone is welcome.

We wish Mr. G.R. Lowe of Stollings would visit us again. He was our Sunday School teacher and Superintendent for almost two years.

Dr. Ferrell and the family are visiting home folks for the holidays.

Blake Bently who shot off two of his toes some time ago will soon be able to get out again.

Miss Thelma Scaggs seemed to be downhearted Sunday. Cheer up, Thelma. You may win him back.

Mrs. Ellen Conley still continues seriously ill.

Miss Goldie Rowsey has returned from Ohio where she has been staying for some time.

While out hunting Monday morning, Mr. O.F. Ferrell fell and hurt himself very badly. We wish him quick recovery.

Good luck to The Banner.
