Here is one of D. D. Chamblee’s
favorite stories:
A mousy little man was frighten
ed silly of his boss. One day he
told a fellow worker he was sick.
His friend suggested he go home.
“Os I couldn’t do that.”
“Why not?”
“The boss would fire me.”
“Don’t be silly. He’ll never know.
He’s not even here today.”
Finally the man was convinced
and went home. When he got there
he looked in the window and saw
his boss kissing his wife. So he

“A fine friend you are!”, he said
[to his co-worker. “I nearly got

A BIG FAMILY
By Theo. B. Davis
Speaking of big families and big
people, let me tell you about both
in one. To begin with, the family
name is Hopkins. The head of it
was called by those who knew him
least, or most, “Teat” —of .course
a nick name. At his best, he lack
ed only four pouhds of breaking
the scales at 400 pounds. He was
every bit a man. He was 6 ft. 7 in.
talk and when fully grown averag
ed 300 pounds net.
Mrs. Hopkins was no small fry,
either. Two more inches would
have made her 6 ft. tall and she
weighed 180 pounds. She was a
Bunn before marriage.
Here are are children’s names
with ages, height and weight: Wm.
1., 50, 6 ft. 1 in. 260 lbs.; Billie K.
40, 6 ft. 6 in., 360 ibs.; Willie 8.,
38, 6 ft. 5 in., 265 lbs.; Cecil, 35, 6
ft. 3 in., 270 lbs.; Wm. H. (Booger),
31, 6 ft., 240 lbs.; Harvey D„ 28, 6
ft. 4 in., 180 lbs.; Kenneth, 26, 6
ft. 5 in., 180 lbs.
The daughters are: Viola who
died at the age of twelve. Mrs. M.
L. Duke, 40, 5 ft. 11 in., Mrs. W.
M. Brannan, 43, 6 ft. 4 in., Mrs.
Frank Nowell, 33, 6 ft. 4 in. Mrs.
Nowell’s name is Viola after her
sister who died before Mrs. Now
ell’s birth.
The total weight of the seven
brothers is 1,710 pounds, or an
average weight for each of 224
pounds. The average heights is 6
ft. 3/7 inches.
Four of the brothers are mer
chants and farmers, one a farmer
and two are employees of the town
of Zebulon. Six of them live with
in a half mile of each other. All
the family are members of the
church except one.
Cotton acreage in cultivation as
of July 1 was the smallest since
records began in 1909.
