This would also leave the end from Hayesville to the Georgia line with only a gravel sur face, and the citizens c. Clay and Cherokee counties -.-operii^ ... In an effort to secure concrete all the way. The amount, of tonnage passing over this road into Murphy from Clay County and the upper Hiawassee val ley is estimated to be more than that on all other roads combined, and the water bound macadam would not be sufficient to stand up satisfactorily under the heavy traffic which uses this road in getting to and from market. A committee from the Lions ciub was appointed to work in co-opera tion with citizens from Clay county toward securing a concrete surface for this road all the way, and hav ing that link of it on Patterson hill straightened out. Among other important matters transacted by the Lions was the se lection of a motto. Sometime ago nrizes were offered for the mottoes, one of which was to he adopted by the club. "We Roar For Murphy,'* won first place, $2.50 in gold, and was submitted by Miss Ilat tie Palmer.
