v citizens sometime ago. A map
f the city was furnished him by city
uthorities and the proposed Lrri-j

the near future.
It s understood that Mr. Garrison

It is estimated that less than 2."

3e one- of the largest and most important

three cars have been entered from
Jurphy and it is expected that others
will be entered from hire before

The entries from Murphy are as
ollows:

BEAL HURT IN ACCIDENT;
NUMBER OTHERS REPORTED
| Mr. L. F. Real is confined to his
home this week with injuries thought
[to be severe as a result of the collis
ion of his mail wagon and a Ford
> automobile driven by Carl Bates, at
I the L. & N*. Station Wednesday niirht
: Several other occupants were in the
'ear. at the time, including Arthur,
i son of Mr. Real, and all escaped with;
out injury. No one was in the wagon
i but Mr. Beal.
I It st cm? that the young Mr. Bates,
i who was said to be driving the car.
i turned to the left to avoid some
I pedestrians and before he could get
. the car over on the right again van
. into the wagon bring driven by Mr.
Real. It is thought that the high i
i springy board seat, upon which Mr.;
Beal was sitting, had a tendency to
throw him from the wagon to the
ground when the sudden compact of
the two vehicles came. The leg of
one of the mules hitched to the wagon
was broken, which necessitated that
the mule he killed.
Mr. Beal i* said to have sustained
i severe injury to the chest, and it is
'thought that a number of ribs were
ibroken.
Other Accidents
Quite a number of other automobile
accidents have happened during
(the week, according to information
J rt aching here.
j The letter part of last week. the|
j Ford car being driven by Leonard j
I Walker, turned over at Bates Creek I
on the Hangingdog road. The car,
was torn up but the five occupants j
escaped unhurt, with the exception of j
lone lady who received a few cuts and]
| bruises about the head. It is under-!
! stood that he was making a turn a-1
round a short curve, and the car went
off the road.
On last Sunday afternoon, it ae.mn
.that the Chevrolet car being driven by
' Milt Johnson, who it is understood
was learning to drive, was turned over
Sunday afternon on Hangingdog
road when he cut the front wheels
under too suddenly. No one was hurt
but it is understood that the car was
rather badly damaged.

SEVEN CAR LOADS CATTLE
SHIPPED OUT THIS WEEK
Seven car loads of cattle
wire sntoivMi li^m Murphy this week
to Richmond, Ky? for grazing j
purposes, and three more are scheduled
to go Friday. These cattle!
some 340 head were bought by Mr..
J. W. Adams, of Richmond, Kv..
from a number of cattlemen in
Cherokee and Clay Counties, at n
cost of more than $7,000.00, it is understood.
Among those who sold to Mr.
Adams, arc the following: J. L. Fain.
Harry Atms, A. Z. Roberts. Geo;
l.ovingood, S. C. Gentry, J. L". Far- <
mer, L. I). Garrett, S. C. Sevier, an-1 ,
others.
Tht. prices paid for the cattle run I
from 4*ic to 6c per pound. Mr. j
Fain's lot of some 21 head bringing)
more than $000.00, or the high<stj!
price paid for any of this shipment. J1
This was said to have been due to j"
the fact that Mr. Fain's cattle were I
of the best grade of cattle sold, j'
being of the famous Aberdeen-;1
Angus blood. However, all the cattle j1
sold were of a high grade, and it is ,s
thought that most of those selling |
will restock with an even higher 12
grade.
This is quite a stimulus to the j
cattle industry in this section, ar. i jS
it is understood that Mr. Adams'1
stated he would return to Murphv!3
in about two weeks if enough cattle I
could be bought for shipment to j ^
warrant his return. Those who are,
interested or who have an> cattle i
they wish to dispose of should see
