Singing Class Has
Profitable Trip To
This Section
(Continued from page 1)
The conceit was given in the school
luditorium.
Rev. T. 1.. Sasser ??f the Baptist
church made the invocation.
Front the first i?? hist there seemed
to b? greatest interest.
i n Tuesday morning Messrs. J. A.
Richardson, A. .1. Burns and J. \V.
Davidson were very thoughtful of the
children and took the Class over to
the next point. This was most helpful
and it was very greatly appreciated
by the entire Class.
The Murphy proceeds were $11440.
HAYESVILLE
Tuesday, July 1th.?The trip over
tq Haycsville. Clay County, was made
ever the splendid highway that
runs up the Hiadrassee river. The
scenery is beautiful, passing in sight
of a number of peaks that left their
heads t_> suimthinir like five thou
sand or more feet high.
In Hayt-sville Bro. W. T. Bumgainer,
chairman, U. \\. * !rav\ rd,
J. H. Passmore ond others repres nting
Bro. Geo. A. Cherry, the newly
elected Master, met with the ladies
cf the O. E. S. Chapter.
Mrs. Sallie Ketrhn, W. M., Mrs.
Maude Killian, P. W. M. and others
ot the Stars, took the members of
the Class to homes as follows: Mrs.
Sallie Ketron, \Vill Hunt, Dr. Jim
S. livan, Paul Scroggs, Eudie Hyatt,
Henderson . JIaigher, Mrs. Geo.
Thompson, McQueen House and
Scroggs House.
Even over in Clay, we found that
th weather has been very dry duri
1114: the greater portion of this year.
I: is a short drive across the line
into Georgia and the friends took
the children down to Hiawassee, Ga.,
so they could say they had been out
ot the. state and into Georgia. The
roads are fine to the state line, but
rough alter crossing into Ga. The
mountain scenery- grand. The
trip was too short and too hurried
however to tell of the different mountain
peaks and other things in detail.
The concert was given in the
school auditorium. A splendid crowd
greeted the Class.
Hon. J. B. Gray presented the
Class and gave a very warm welcome
to nil the visitors, many coming
from Shooting Creek to Tusquitly
Bells and the sctions rounJ
about. Following the prayer by Bro.
G. H. Heighler the class gave the
program. Bro. A. F. Padgett and
Bro. G. E. White assisted the Com
mittee at the door. Bro. E. B. Cotten
of Albernmarle was in Hayesvjlle
and contributed $90.00 to add to the
receipts. Bro. Cotten never over
looks the orphanage work.
The members of Clay Chapter. O.
E. S., and the Masons there, have
been very thoughtful of the* Orphanage
children and have shipped numbers
of crates 6f chickens, apples
and other good things that are very
helpful at the Home. These are
greatly appreciated too.

This company has just completed

One cf the loading newspapers of
that city had the t Rowing to say in

"During the tveek past local the
at"i goers have enjoyed a treat in
the way of theatrical fare, which bids
fair to continue indefinitely. The
Williams Stock company appearing
nightly in their b.autiful canvas theatre
.have during the- past week offcred
plays of real merit with a cast
of a? tors of the calibre not common
with tented organizations. One has
hut to close one tyes and Broadway
seems not so far away.
"Featured with the company are

In the true sense of the word tin re

in Clay County than any other

of poultry heretofore there has prae'
tieally has no investment, the labor
i ex| < nded in th? eaie of poultry here,
tofore has been very little,
j An industry that will pay so well
i in its crude stage should have some

J County farmers have been assisted
j in improving: their flock by bringing
I in better blood, there are many other
stops that should be taken.
The County Agent has been able
i to obtain a Poultry Specialist for
work in the county on the week of
Aug. 17th. through 21st. This being
the best time of the year to cull
your flocks. The major part of the
time will be given to culling the flock
and care of thr mature fowls there is
a very concise and systematic way of
culling out thy unprofitable part of
your flock. There will be staged m

the whole community will be invited
to attend. The community wanting:
to (rain most for this demonstration
should select a centrally located home
where all interested could gather and
put on this demonstration.
