Cherokee is the best team Murphy has to. face It w?U he a nipand-tuck xatr.e from toe go with bot? teams looking for blood. The ceiling is high here and Murphy can arch then as high as they want to. The ^ ceiling on the Indians gym is reputed- ( ly low and is said tc have impaired ( the Boomers shots when they played ( over there recently. It is always a j good game when the Indians and the | Boomers tangle. ] By Pruden Davidton Both Murphy and Elf played their 13th game last night before a record crowd. About 250 spectators saw probably the closest game that the Boomers have played this season. The Murphy girls started off slow and the score alternated in favor of both sides until late in the last quarter. Both teams were evenly matched and scoring seemed difficult at both goals. At the beginning of the last quarter Ruth Earwood came into the game and seemed to add life to I the team, as she scored 6 points, giving them a lead of 4 points whicl they kept up during the rest of th game. The final score was Murray 21 Elf 17. The boys game started off with a bang, as both teams began at full speed. Both sides scored evenly dur ing the first three quarters, and at the half Elf had a small lead. The .second half started off just in the same way and neither side could retain a lead. In the latter part of the last quarter -the boys gained new life and Taylor was put in to gain the tipoff. <T2iis enabled them to have better control of the ball and so about 6 points were scored in the last minute and half of play. In the two minutes in which Taylor played he scored 4 points, while the record of field goals went to Lester Millsaps, who scored 10 points during the game. Hollifield and F. Long did most of 'the scoring for Elf. Troy Millsaps was in the game la.-t night after being out for several weeks, but was still handisapped by having the cast still on his broken finger. Friday Night Is To Be "Family Night" At Gym Coach O. W. Deaton announced today that he would have "Family Night" at the basketball game Friday. Any number of persons from an immediate family, who enter the gym at the same time, will be admitted for 25c. If there are three or ten in your family, they may all attend for 25c. However, they must all enter at the same time, and bo the immediate family, including brothers, sisters, fathers, etc., to en- I ter for 25c. Te hopes in this way he may enable more to attend the game Friday, when Murphy meets j the Cherokee Indians here. Be sure to come and see the Indians play To Help Local Citizens Make Out Tax Return All federal income taxpayers of Cherokee county have been notified that a deputy tax collector of internal revenue will be at Murphy on March 14 to assist taxpayers in preparing their returns.

Murphy reservoir of Fain's mountain to the city, it was announced Wednesday by E. 0. Christopher, town ilerk. At the same time it was announced that repairs would be made on the settling tank and that the council hoped to be able to work on the dam before long. The work is being done by a group of 15 FERA laborers under George Leatherwood and the cost of the repairs was estimated at $1750. .The action was taken following a meeting of the crty council on Feb. 4, at which time that body decided to make necessary repairs on Murphy's water supply while FERA labor could be obtained for nothing, thus cutting in half the expense that would be incurred if help had to bt hired. Line 3 Miles Long The water line running from the dam on the mountain to the city is approximately three miles long and all hut 1900 feat of it was laid originally in cast iron pipe. It is; "?timited that the decrease in leakage of that portion that is in terra "'>*tc. will be complete and Murphy's simply of water from t.hat source will be doubled. At present- the men arc stripping the dirt off ?ihe water line and they are expected to be at work on the I settling laiiK wivnin inree wei'RS. "Mr. Arnold II. Vanderhoof, of Asheville, estimated that we were losing: half our water through the old pipe line", Mr. Christopher said in his office, "and we can safely Bay that by repairing: it properly the coat should be repaid within a period of two years on the water thus conserved. During: the unusually dry summer of 1926, the town was forced *o limit its water supply and build a filtering plant one mile from town on th? Hiawassee river, and it was necessary to pump the water here entailing a large expense. Due to leakage a?t the dam on the mountain the pumping station has been called on occasionally to supply the water here. Mr. Christopher pointed out that if the leakage were corrected the expense at the filtering plant would be greatly, if not completdy, cut.
