Wet/Dry: The vanilla extract story

A tale about the evils of alcohol

By Ralph Roy Waggener
Contains personal commentary

Several years ago (over 37) because that's how long I've run South Central Printing and at that time running I was Editor/Publisher of The Clay Statesman in Celina TN. I had a conversation with a Mr. Napier about the sins of using alcohol. With my bad memory I can't recall his first name but he was in real-estate business. I knew that he was a Church of Christ member and at that time there was around 13 church of Christ churches in Clay County, bringing me to ask why so many: his thinking was that some members would not like what other members liked so they would pull out and start their own church; don't know if that was the reason or not.
