FRIDAY. APRIL 2, 1926 DOCKtRV FAVORS AN EQUAL CHANCE FOR SHOAL CREF.K (Continued from page 1) e-. Ilie best we can do under the circumstances. I Sincerely Yours. W. L. GARREN. GRANDVIEW. N.

I have been j er a great portion of the ro;n: j tli' ugh Shoal Creek Township and! 1 find it to he the most practical . (i c entral route from Murphy to I the Tennessee lire. I find it to be the best grade in the county and' lending through one of the best farm- j injr sections of the county, and I think it a preat injustice to the people of Shoal Creek Township to be denied the privilege of voting on their road, after spending over $100.-, 000 expecting to be recognized by ( the State Highway Commission. 1 should like that Mr. Webster of j Tennessee commission be invited to S go over this road and 1 believe he J will recognize this as the leading route to the Tennessee line. Youis Resue;tfully, JOHN R. MARCUS. ISABEL'.A. TKNN. March 2:1, 1020. Editor Cherokee Scout, 1 Murphy, N. C. ' Kind Sir: ' 1 noticed an item in your paper last week in regards to the good road in Cherokee County and I am always interested in the welfare of my old home county and state now I think j Mr. Dockery has brought a pood thing before the people, provided it is carried on in the ripht way and the way I would suppe>t would be to call a general registration before the people ?nd after the registration have a general election. I think this would he giving everybody a fair deal and I also feel tnht it is the duty of the county commissioners to look norsonlv after the matter and I am aware of the fact that the people in beverdani township are all ready, and well posted along: this line and I do know there isn't ten out of every one-hundred in hot house township who take the Scout and it wilT be impossible for all the people to learn of this election without someone groins to the houses and notifying the people. I have talked with several good citizens of Cherokee County since last Friday in regards to the matter and all are like myself they think it a good idoa to settle the matter by vote but they want It done in a legal and lawful manner and then the one that gets the highest vote gets the joad and then we would be glad to see a good road both direction but I suppose it can't be so at present, and we would be delighted to know that hot I house would be the winner as there is a lot of people in the Ducktown basin who would visit Murphy often if we only had a road we could get over. It appears to us that this is the most suitable route and also the nearest. There is now a road being graded up Ocoee river that will connect with this road at Anjhelico Gap I supose there is also a large tractor entwine nl?w tin and rehel the road here and then and also now I hope you people in Cherokee County *111 Dot loot at this litely. We feel that this election means NOTICE OF SALE Under and by virtue of the power of s>aie contained in a certain Deed of Trust executed by S. S. Palmer and wife Emma Palmer to M. K Palmer, Trustee, on August the 1H 1922, ani recorded in the office of Register of Deeds for Cherokee County :r. Boole No. eO at page 76 and default having been made in the payment of the indebU-dtus- due Addie Welch, secured thereby, and the said Addie Welch having demanded a sale. I. the under signed trustee will cn Monday, the 3rd day of May, 1926, at 1 o'clock p. nr.. at the Court House door in the Town of Murphy, sell at public auction to the highest bidder tor cash, the following described real estate, viz: Being a one half interest in tra t No. SO, in District No. 1. bound d as follows: Beginning on a h'.a; oak on the bank of Valley River: thence N.

C. by Seleucus, the , Grecian king of Asia Minor. Because . of tiie beauty of its situation and mag- j nlflcence of many of its buildings It j was named "Queen of the East." It 1 was at A lit loch that the disciples were ! first called Christians, a name prob- j ably given to them by pagans as a j nickname. After the destruction of1 Jerusalem by Titus, 770 A. D? Ant loch I became tlie center of Christendom, the | Family Herald says. In tiie Middle ages Antloeh fell Into tlie hands of the Saracens, but the Crusaders captured it In 1008 and held it until June, 1268, when It was captured by tlie sultan of Egypt and later by the Turks. The peace arrangement of 1010 placed this part of Syria under the mandate of France. Tidal Rivera The term "drowned river system" refers to such s system of tidal rlv* ers as the Hudson, Delaware, Susqueliana, Potomac and James, wherein the trunk valley and Its branches were submerged by the sea entering their inner parts because of a sinking of the ed^e of the continent. This lias made possible wonderful harbors J at tlin months of these tidal streams. ] Dinotaur Tracks Dinosaur footprints, found on a thin , layer of mck about seven mile* froir i Tuba City on the Navajo Indian Heaer- I ration, near the CrHnd Canyon park, | i Arizona, measure 10 inches In 'math ' ?/> m ? ?
