p?>coutlets J The woman visited a law yer and started to tell him about suing her husband for habitual drunkeness. How ever, the woman wasn't the most literary or intelligent person in the world and she called it "obituary drunken ess." Quipped the lawyers "That's what I call being lead drunk." -J We noticed in the editorial section of the Hendersonville Tribune a word of praise: "In 1961 The Cherokee Scout of Murphy led the way for Wes tern North Carolina by com plete conversion to the offset printing method." Thanks fellows, we're proud of it. The Tribune produced it's first completely offset printed newspaper on March 26 of this year. -J And then there is Mrs. Hugh Powell, daughter of Sheriff and Mrs. Mabel Kitchens of Hayesville calling her parents last Wednesday in the midst of Hurricane Dora. The Pow ells reside in Winter Park, Fla., and with winds howling and the lights all out wanted to know if the Scout was going to carry a detailed report of the capture of Seth Gibson. Believe I'd been thinking of getting under the bed. -J We got boos out of some readers 'cause of our praises for the cleanliness of the Lions' sponsored Cherokee County Fair. According to them a fair wasn't a fair without some girlie shows, and a few games of chance. Oh well, -J Just couldn't resist this little tidbit we picked up from Walter Winchell's column. Bernard Castro, speaking be fore the Advertising Council on the merit of ad: "Running a business without advertis ing is like winking at a girl in the dark. You know what you're doing but she doesn't".. Mark Twain asked a shop keeper for an ad for his paper. .."I have nothing to ad vertise," shrugged the mer chant "Then/' countered Twain, "why not advertise your store for sale?" -J We made a small wager a few weeks ago that Senator Goldwater would NOT carry the state of South Carolina in the November election. However, we read that J. Strom Thurman, Democrat from South Carolina is plan ning to turn Republican and support Goldwater. He plans to make a statement later this week. Ain't that just my luck? -J Ex-publisher of The Scout, Jerue Babb, is supposed to be in town this weekend, (watch out, Murphy) If everybody will cooperate and not talk to him maybe we will get a little work out of him this trip. -T It's funny how our views and tastes change In our old age. Several weeks ago we had a teenage niece to visit our house for a week. Con sequently our house was a congregating place for some of the younger set. Our most important educational factor other than the new dances was the smelling qualities and dress of the teenage male. First in line- smell: If the poor guy isn't wearing Eng lish Leather after-shave lot ion, he isn't on top: however, he can use J.D.'s or Russian Leather and still be in the running. Now there are at least three important factors of dress: He must be Ivy League of course. But the real must is Weejun loafers and a London Fog coat. We heard so much about English Leather that we hustled down to Bill Darnell's to get a sniff, and Ole Bill was kind enough to give us a sample. We admit the stuff is good, in fact it's too good. You can put on a dab and one can smell you for a week. Hep, or no hep, we're going back to Aqua Velva... even though our niece informs me that it chases the gals away.

Town Loses Revenue Due To Unpaid Water Bills MURPHY- At the regular meeting of the Murphy Town Board Monday evening, Sept ember 14, it was pointed out by Town Clerk C. E. Johnson that some 120 families in Mur phy are not paying water bills and sewer taxes. Primarily, these unpaid bills occur when more than one family lives in a house, with only one water meter. For example, houses that were originally built for one family dwellings were con verted later to make several apartments. This explains the reason for only one water meter. Members of theTownBoard adopted an ordinance re quiring everyone who main tains a* residence with a se parate electrical meter to pay to the Town of Murphy at least a minimum water bill and sewer tax, whether they have a separate water meter or not. "It is only fair that these families who have been using city water and sewer facili ties be required to pay their fair share," a spokesman for the Town Board stated. Although short-wave radios were approved at an earlier meeting for use by the city police department, no action was taken for purchasing this equipment at this meeting.

A committee was appointed to obtain cost fig ures and a report will be made at the next meeting. The use of tear gas by city policemen was also app roved, for aiding the officer when a person resists arrest.
