Personal Mention
Born s> Or. and Mrs. Jerry
H. Padgett In an Athens Ga.
hospital, a daughter Lydla
Latham. on May 5th.
Dr. P. A. Moss. Washington
D. C. visited relatives In the
coiaity last week. He com
mented on the bonnets and
beards and thought It was a
nice thing to do to celebrate
the county's 100th birthday.
Mr. and Mrs. Sam Murdock
and daughters Terry and
Debby were guests of the W.
A. McGlamerys Sunday. Mrt.
Murdock is the former
Charilna Tanner. Her home
was at the Children# Home
In Winston. Salem for most
of her childhood. Her hus
band Is In the Air Porce and
stationed at Donaldson Air
Force Base. He was also
raised sttheChlldren'sHome.
Mr. and Mrs. Harold Hedden
and son Harold Jr. spent the
pest week-end with relatives.
Mr. and Mrs. Jack Sellers
will soon be living in their
new home near Chatuge Dam.
Mrs. William Wheeler and
infant son are on the road
to recoverery now.
Saturday was really the day
for the Clay County women.
There was a lot of activity
for the women deputies who
were on hand. Some of the
lady deputies collected the
10 cent fine and then others
took the ones without bonnets
to the Centennial Jail. Some
how the law got a hold of the
photographer and If all the
pictures are not In the Pro
gress this week you can under
stand why. Don't know where
any one would fine a cooler
place to rest than inside this
old log Jail. Actually it Is
quite fashionable id be a
prisoner now.
Chief Anderson assisted the
lady deputies in locking up
the ladles. Believe he really
enjoyed It. Can say one thing,
he showed no partiality for
he locked up "Tate" his own
wife.
Believe everyone enjoyed
th beautiful Centennial tea.
It was a real fashion show.
Wonder how many got to see
Opal Anderson's black high
topped- shoes. Heard her com
plain of pinched toes; but
couldn't really see how she
could suffer (those shoes
looked plenty big to me). Ohl
those bonnets and dresses...
just out of this world and no
two alike.
Have heard of split bonnets
a life time and saw the first
one Saturday as depntyLessie
May appeared in hers. It
actually had Hickory splits
in the brim. Certainly is
interesting to see die old
fashioned thing.

Centennial
Chatter
By Mrs. Quentin Moore
Due to lack of space, the
conclusion of last week's run
down on die Centennial
committees was ommlted.
Would like to complete it here.
Besides the committees
mentioned, there is the
historical committee. This
group's Job is to compile all
the scattered and often hard
to find data to be used In
the Clay County History book
let. This has to be organized
and made ready for the
printer.
The safety committee helps
keep traffic In order at the
Centennial events? and will
really be busy on July 1.
The committee on antiques
is collecting old items for
display. The committee
secretary must notify each
one of the weekly meetings,
keep a record of the details
and money, and the other
never-ending secretarial
duties.
Backing up and working with
the general chairman and the
committees is the board of
trustees. So it's fun and
work. The Centennial com
mittee hopes every Clay
County citizen will take part
in the celebration and mate
this a year to be remembered.
Now to try to clear if>soma
confusion about the bonnets.
It was previously ruled that
bonnets should be worn every
day in May. The chairman
of the wo men; 3 division say*
the committee would still
like this to remain the rule
but that arrests for not wear
ing a bonnet will be made
only on Saturdays. Someone
was telling the other day that
one man said he thought the
ladies looked 20 years younger
In their bonnets. Only the
teenagers would Ignore this
possibility!
The ladles did look lovely
at the Centennial tea Satur
day. Nearly everyone wore
a bonnet and Centennial dress
and not one alike. The warm
weather that day made some
persons wonder how they'll
feel in their costumes on
July 1.
Lots of people were out
on the courthouse lawn
Saturday too. Also dogs.
Added to the excitement of
the arresting, was the sound
of county canines barking as
they got their rabies shots.
Friday, May 12, is Cen
tennial Day In Hayesvijle
girls who want to may wear
Centennial bonnets and hats,
now we will see how the
children of 100 years ago
managed to play In long
dresses and white shirts.
Think of the laundry then,
mamas ? and no washing
machines eitherl

The department wishes to

replaced.
Patrons of rural routes
are required to provide mail
boxes of the standard approved

card them, provided they have
been in use by thesameowner

not afford to maintain residence in Atlanta or give
H> their jobs to attend the main school. For this
reason, MASSEY is bringing to the people of Murphy
Its FULL FACILITIES for adultcommercial education.
Both day and night classes will be held.
EXTENSION SCHOOL
The duration of the Professional Secretarial and
Professional Office Courses are S months. Students
are enrolled at the beginning of the course. Because
of teacher load, only a limited number will be accepted.
Once the school is started, not further enrollments

their business college diplomas, the teachers and
equipment will be moved to another community ill
