Active And itfil Attractive [B | MURPHY S ^ The Leading VTa Vol. IVL.?No. 13. NEWS Picked Up About Town Inasmuch as there are many little intettsti'-g events that happen in town thai a lot of folks miss, or are not big enough to warrant a news story, we hop this column will find favor ' in the sight of our readers. And if | we mi.-s i? it is not our fault. I "t'mt v-fniir morp shonnintr davs before Christmas." | It scums a long way off, but Mrs. f Thelma Dickey, postmistress, asked ff us to remind the people that if they get their Xmas mailing out good and ? early it aids quick safe delivery. Incidentally the post office workers received what they termed their ? "first gift of appreciation in a long | time." It was a gift of two boxes of candy and we could not find out who the donor was. But one thing we're sure of?it was good candy. We know because we ate some of it, or hope to, rather, before the paper coims out). The first nip of cold weather has brought a lot of things to life, or, it should be said, has caused a lot of changes. In the first place overcoats made their first appearance this week. Some of them were a little frayed around the buttonholes and smelled like moth balls, but there were a lot of new ones that must have come fresh from the stores. The local merchants report selling a lot of new fall good* and there are plenty in stock. When it was hot you could walk down toward the post office and generally find thre? or four fellows in a clothing store singing hymns It was pretty good singing too, and Jim Capps usually accompanied on the banjo. But the familiar sound has stopped with the closing of doors. More than that we received a report this week of a prize catch of possums. But we didn't get fooled this time. This business of printing prize game catches out of season is unhealthy business for tiie editor. We were also mighty glad to see Lowry Hill up and about as lively as cver this week. He told us he had some Jigiments torn about his heart when he fell some time ago, which accounts for his having been confined to the hospital and his home for three or four weeks. Henry Hickman wandered across the stieet the other day, hat in hand, a gleam in his eye. "Where's the ball game, Hicky"? 'Taint no ball game", he said, "just a widder and her son trying to to Knoxville." He had a good bit of money too.

The fire whistle tooted loud and ' lustily again Monday night. Tho big truck, loaded to the gunwhales with firemen, Hayner Rogers st the helm, with a few putts took off to Jess Grady's house where sparks were flying out of the chimney. The press was badly delayed try'hg to find a ride and by the time We got there everything was well under control. No damage was done. "Fiz" Nichols took a rubbing this week. It seems that Walt Mauney wanted his automobile tire changed and wnt Fiz out to do it. About 15 minutes later the tire ew out and it was found that some one left a tire-tool, jack and a few Wore pieces of mechanism in the shoe.

Rueck's suggestion before the Lions club last week that people of this section do everything within their power to further the public school's fight for adequate facilities to teach the youth of today, the Scout is glad to furnish statements by those members that are lending their support in the move. L. A. Lee Says: The press of the United States, whether it is singly large or small, ran support no move that is of greater benefit to humanity and the Future progress of our country than that of publicizing the fact that the school room should receive the support of every citizen. It is impera;ive that we teach the children of today the principles of sound living ind government.
