I MURPHY PLAYS I SECOND TIE 7-7 I WITH ANDREWS | I Hundreds attend Annual I Thanksgiving C lasuic' 9 Between Two Teams I Murphy and Andrews locked horns in th.ir annual Thanksgiving day J classic on the new Andrews athletic I I field and emerged with both teams: | laving made seven points. It was int bwoiiu ?.????*; i.??woc tenti have played each other this year and it is the second time that they tied each other?the first game having ended in a scoreless tie on the Murphy field early in the season. Packed with thrills from the whistle to the gun, it was on? of the best games either team had played this yrar and one of the hardest fought and most interesting games ever played between the Wildcats and the Boomers. Murphy Scores Murphy, with a seven point lead staring them in the face, come from behind in the last quarter to score their only touchdown and by virtue of an after-point tied the score. The touchdown came after Hayes Leathenvood blocked an Andrews punt. T. MilHips took the ball, and with beautiful interference scampered around end and raced down the sidelines *for the touchdown. A fake line play added the extra p>oint. With hundreds of fans from Murphy and Andrews to witness the game. Andrews scored ?n first period in in a long, hard, steady trek from their own 40-yard line. Breakbill plunged the line twice from the five yard line to inak? the score. A neat pacement kick made it seven point3. Within shooting distance in the first quarter, Andrews tried a kick that fell just short of a scors. Field Is Slick The Andrews field was slick from recent rains and Ayers kept the ball in the air. Only a few of tie pat*ses were completed but they were for good gains. Andrews tried a good many forwards in the last quarter. Both teams were evenly mat-ched and the lines were largely responsible for the even score and exciting game. Both teams played a superior game ?ompared to what they have shown in other games this year. Both teams made eight first downs and gained about the number of yards from scrimmage.

Farmers all ovp this county have long been interested in raising first class chickens only to find the price local nu-rchantsroomhanuilodarthesn local markets are bringing is lower than the markets in the cities, A Q. Ketner, Cherokee county agent, pointed out and this appears to be his next probjem to be worked out. This fact was revealed when reports of the North Carolina Demonstration Poultry Flocks summary for 1933.34 was published some time ago. Lawson Lusford, who has a farm up on Peachtree, and is typical of the poultry raisers in this county, had the following report to compare. North Carolii#a farmis ave^ag^d 190 birds. Lunsford had 180. While the state averaged 154 eggs to the bird, Lunsford had an average of 156. To produce each dozen eggs it cost Lunsford .104 cents wihel the grand average in the state was .123 cent?. The figures showed that it cost Lunsford $1.43 per year to feed each bird, and the average for the state was $1.58. IHowever when the price per dozen for eggs was figured, the averag for th stat was .23 cents per dozen (running as high as 60 cent per dozen in some instances) while Lunsford's average was .187 pep dozen.

C., Thursday, Dec. 6, CHEROKEE BANK PAYS $12,000 TO ITS DEPOSITORS Checks totalling approximately $12,000 representing 10 percent of the dividends owed the depositors of the Cherokee bank which closed its doors here Oct. 3, 1931, were mailed out this week, according to S. G. Owens, assistant liquidating agent here. To date practically 20 percent of the dividends have been paid, five percent having been returned the depositors in December 1932 and five percent in April of this year. At the time the bank closed it owe d $112,781.54, Mr. Owens said. To date nearly $25,000 of that amount has been paid back. Also $16,000 in bills payable have been paid off and deferred claims amounting to $10,097 have been paid off, he added. STATE ADVANCES SUM BEING SENT SCHOOL BUS MEN A. L. Martin, superintenden of the Cherokee county schools, received an additional 10 percent of the school bus drivers' salaries for payment t.his week, it was learned here Wedn-os day. Following a meeting of the school bus drivers more than two weeks ago it was feared locally that they would strike tieing up transportation from the rural communities to the schools. The state has agreed to pay 80 per cent of the school bus drives salaries and expense and the county is pupposed to pay the other 20 per cent. So for this year the drivers have only been receiving approximately 50 per cent of the state pay and none from the county. The additional 10 per cent will give the bus drivers 60 percent of the 80 percn^ guaranted by the state on which to oprate and as a salary. <The disagreement over the amount of pay received was due to the fact that som of the drives declared they were not getting enough money to even operate their buses on. o Asheville, N.

"There seems to be a favorable reaction to the movement", Mr. Case said, "and everyone I have talked t?o jn the subject is interested in having i course built somewhere fn the :ounty, preferably between here and Andrews.
