The regular program consisted of devotions, singing, a study period, and a recreation hour. The Rev. Mr. Clary was c general charge of the school. Different members of the class took charge of the half hour devotions. Mrs. Albert Mallonee and Mr. W. C. Boyce assisted in the music work. Some 01 the standard hymn were memorized, and a study made of the meaning and spirit of them. The work of the study hour centered about the catachism formulated by the Westminister Assembly, which contains such material as the Ten Commandments and some of our standard ideas of the Christiaan religion. One child recited the children's catachism, and several more are expecting to report on the Shorter uawitaiaiu suuu. The school was open to children of all denominations, and the other churches of town were well represented. The total enrollment was twenty-nine. Mrs. S. D. Akin of East Murphy gave a birthday party for her young daughter Martha on June 25. About twenty playmates spent a most lively afternoon. Ice cream and cake were served on the lawn. Martha received a large number of very pleasing gifta. Maybe Jack Dempsey prefers to have his attorney fight for him in the ring as well as in the court. iktt I i, Serving a large and Potei :A FRIDAY, JULY 2. 1926. i Birthday ] 7hoayJ - i "i i IT A A r | ! Hayesvilie Minstrel Monday, July Fifth Murphy will be favored on .Monday evening: July f?tb. with u Ministrel Show rendered l?\ the Hoy Scouts of Hayesvilie. Knowing something of the spirit of .Murphy theatre-goers, there is no need to urge anyone to attend this attraction. However, it is well for us to remember one or two things. | First, Hayesvilie has shown u decided interest in the appearances of Murphy talent at different times, and notably so at the appearance of our minstrel some months ago when our nana was in need of a helping hand. Hayesvilie and especially the Bos Scouts cooperated scr effectively that a crowded house welcomed our players. We have therefore, a debt of gratitude to pay these boys. We may may not be interested in a minstrel show, but surely we are interested in returning a kindness shown. I There is no better way than by be-1 ing present and taking a lively in-1 threat in the boys who have proved their good will toward us. They have a right to look for a crowded house. Aside from this very worthy rea- , son, the show itself promises to be an occasion of mirth. Few evenings | can be better spent than in a series I of side-bursting laughs. We do not' know the nature of the show, but we | do know that every Scout is under oath to be clean and trustworthy. We believe a troop of Scouts can he | trusted to give us a satisfactory show. ' There has never been a scout who i did not want a scout suit. The show ! is given in the interest of outfitting I the entire troop. There will be the | regular picture and the minstrel to j follow with only one admission. All arc requested to enjoy the evening and help make glad the hearts of our ; friends the 30Y SCOUTS OF HAYESVILLE. ERNEST G. CLARY. Organization Meeting Cherokee County Fair Association The Cherokee County Fair Association calls a meeting at the Public i Library assembly hall for July the < tenth at one-thirty in the afternoon. ! The DUrDOse of this convocation ia . to organize, so that plans may be commenced for the fair to be held in the fall. Ti e meeting will be in charge of the officers of the 1925 Association. Of this, Mr. W. M. Fain was preai-1 dent; Mr. B. W. Sipe, Secretary; and i Mr. F. O. Christopher, treasurer. An Executive Committee is to be ' elected, which will consist of seven j men, one from each township and one , from the County Seat. A president, i a vice-president, a secretary, and a | treasurer will also be selected by j vote. After these elections the Executive Committe will confer with the County Agent, Mr. R. W. Gray, and appoint other committees to proceed with the arrangements for the fair. hrottt itially Rich Territory in tl Home Talent Play 1 Tuesday, July Sixth "Come Out of the Kitchen" pronii-1 ses to be one of the best home-talent play? that Murphy has ever seen. 1 The managers and the cast of characters have been spending their time freely to give an unusual finish to both the ucting und the stage setting. Mrs. Albert Mallnnen i? wnrl-in.. ? 1 ? --- ?" "? p her role of Jane-Ellen with her us ual vivacity and charm. When she. t as the cook, begins managing, she controls the servents by her effiei-1. ency and the guests of the house by , her fascination. Even the ladies of . the drawing-room retreat, while the i gentlemen devote their attention to ? the kitchen. Mrs. Holcombe, a severe lady from the noith, and Mr. James Williamson, the boy servant, are ideally suited , for the roles. When the former . as a pedantic visitor attempts to teach . tfrindy his place, even the actor.- i who have now seen the play many ; times, can scarcely refrain from iaugter. Mr. Boyce, with the .ending man' , part, is well at home in his role <> ne northerner who is tak.ng r.is vacation in the south, while Mr. Store.. . makes a most excellent elderiy law- , jar, who is more than inletested in , .he young ladies about the place. airs, Edward Adams fits wen i.. , . er roie oi a society gi.l oi the . oouth; sne is paiuiieu by airs. vVhiti.- , ers^oon, who p.ays a s.mit.ar chaialter front the north.

The advertising is in charge of ' Mrs. Williard Axley. Very special ' eredit is due to her for her unusual iy good work in making appropriate J and attractive posters. 1 The pioceeds of the drama will go to the development of the public library. Mrs. Norvell and Miss High- i way, as library committee, are in general charge of the presentation of the play. I Stikeleather To Investigate Route T o Tennessee Mr. James G. Stikeleather, Highway Commissioner of the ninth district of North Carolina, is investigating the roads of the weste.n part of this state to decide which will be the best route into Tennessee to be | developed by the state. Mr. Stikeleather has conferred with Mr. Bass, State Highway Commissioner of Tennessee, at Knoxvil.e during the early part of the week. He is now on his ' way into North Carolina. He is p .aiming to s^end some time at Madison, and then come to Murphy Friuav aite.noon. While ho i> <? Ko will consider the proposition witn oome of the citizens of jdurphy. Three roads will be considered: the . tie aver Dam, the Shoal C^eek, ar.d the Hothouse. The state is offering to maintain the road selected if the county will ^rade it and put it in cond.tion fo. /he state to take it over, ihe cos. grading of these toads is estimated at between fifty and a hund ed thousand dollars, according to the road used. Good roads, more than any one other factor, will bring the much dc- I sired development of western North , i Carolina. The offer of the state I seems to be one which the county would do well to accept if it can j carry the expenses of this new propo-! sition along with other heavy work,! such as the building of the Court House, that it is now doing. * ?I ' -URPHY is the Jobbing' Center of extreme Western North Caroline.

One af the men, Mr. Maughnn, was quite seriously injured. He was taken to Lhe local hospital, from which he has since been removed. The road has a sharp curve and a decided downward grade at the place where the accident happened. The car began rolling too fast for control, and the centrifugal force carried it beyond the edge of the highway. Law Enforcement Note M.\ H. L. Mencken in his Ameri- . cana of the American Mercury of April seemed quite amused with a write-up that he had seen in the Cherokee Scout about the extensive glory given to Bacchus in our section of the state. In connection with this it is in terested to know that our local authorises are making) progress in their opposition campaign. Sunday night Chief Police Birchfield, Sheriff Morrow, and Deputy Sheriff Cearley captured three men from Graham County transporting whiskey in an automobile on their way to Robbinsville. Fifteen gallons of lquor were taken; two of the men, Tom Jordan and Ralph Matheson, confined in jail. The third, John Nelson, made his escape. Deputy Sheriffs Major Farmer and Walter Dockery have also been at this work. They have arrested Lon Crow ar.d brought him to the county jail. C ow's offence ^ras being in possession of a large copper still in Beaver Dam Township near Unaka. The still, of course, has been confiscated by the authorities.
