MANY EXHIBITS
AT ANNUAL
COUNTY FAIR
Estimated that Ten Thousand People
Passed Through Gates During
Four Days Event
The Cherokee County Fair opened
Wednesday morning on what offi- ]
cers had predicted would be the big
gest event ever staged in this section,
and all predictions were fulfilled
in excess. It is estimated that ten
thousand people passed through the
gates during the four days of the
fair, and the fact that there were
312 exhibitors and 1636 individual
entries, far exceeded the expecta
tions of the association.
"Never have we had such crowds,
such high class exhibits and such a
number and variety," stated W . M.
Fain, president of the fair associa
tion in summarizing the success of
this years showing Friday night.
"We have had people to tell us that
our exhibits were equal to any they
had seen at much larger fairs, and
even at the Southeastern Fair."
The fair got off under rather in
auspicious circumstances Wednesday
morning, when cloudy weather
threatened to visit the usual down
pour of rain, but the sun came out
and dispersed away the clouds for
the day and for once the fair started
off without a shower of rain. How
ever, later in the afternoon the
clouds reappeared and Thursday
morning were hanging heavy, with
intermittent showers throughout the
day, with Friday displaying the
same temperament. Despite this
fact, the fair got off to a good lie
ginning. with exhibits larger and
more \aried and the inclement wea
ther failing to dampen the ardor and
spirit of the crowds.
In going through the display or
exhibition building, one witnessed
1 such a variety of different products,
| in such sizes and quality, indeed he
is prone to think of this section as
the "land flowing with milk and
honey, " where supremely beautiful
dahlias grow as big as peck mea
sures and the lowly pod of okra
| grows as large as a squash, and
where laziness is the chief mania of
the hard times pupil and prophet.
Variety Displays
The display in tin* exhibit hall
may he briefly classified as follows:1!
Farm and Field Crops, fruits and
grapes, canned goods, preserves and
jeliles. pantry supplies, flowers,
hand and art work, school exhibits,
minerals and stones, c urios and -heir
looms.
Among the farm and field crops
were found large and unusually
good displays of rye. wheat, buck
wheat. oats, peas, pumpkins, soy
l>eans, corn, cane, and stock beets,
with alfalfa, clover orchard grass,
soybean and peavine hays. Among
the garden and truck fxliiuib: water
melons, tomatoes, squash, onions,
hot and sweet peppers, pimento pep
pers, English peas, turnips, lettuce,
mustard, turnips, raddish, beets, cel
ery. beans, cucumbers, okra, pea
nuts. eggplants. apples. pears,
grapes, parsley, kale, spinach, rhu
barb, and both Irish and sweet po
tatoes. All of these exhibits were
said to have been the best ever seen
at the local fair, and even in wes
tern North Carolina.
Among the canned goods were
found excellent exhibits of fruits,
such as peaches, pears, blackberries,
dewberries, cherries, apples, grapes,
huckleberries; among vegetables,
soup mixtures, tomatoes, pumpkins,
string beans, rhubarb, kraut, sweet
potatoes, corn, lima beans. English
peas. okra. pimento peppers an"d
field peas: among the pickles: cu
cumbers, sliced tomatoes. Dixie Rel
ish. sweet peaches and pears, water- '
melon rhine pickles, beets, onions,
chi!- ?auce. chow-chow, and pepper: I
among the marmalades, peach, pear. !
grape and apple: while among jams, j
blackberry, dewberry, strawberry,
raspberry, huckleberry, nlum and
apple butter, with apple, grape,
plum, black berry and dewberry jel
lies; and peach, watermelon rhine.
strawberry, pear, apple, cherry and
quince preserves.
In the pantry supplies department
were unusually good and appetizing
displays in cakes, pies, custards, all
kinds of small cookies, candies, bis
cuits. loaf bread, corn muffins, but
ter, dried fruit, mayonnaise, grape
juice, etc.
The showing of cattle and hogs
was the best and largest the fair has
ever had. due largely to the fact that
a new building for housing these ex
hibits was prepared several weeks
ago. There were 3-1 entries of cat
tle, 20 entries of hogs and 72 entries
of poultry. 3 entries of geese, 2 en
tries of turkeys, one of sheep, one
of goats, and seven of horses and
Mules.
Guernsey was the predominant
stock among the cattle entries and
Leghorns or egg producing breeds
were predominant among poultry
entries.
Foamite Demonstration
One of the features of the pro
gram for Friday was the Foamite
demonstration by the American La
France Fire Engine Company. A
pit 3 feet deep, and 18 feet in dia
meter was filled with 400 gals, of oil
and gasoline, set on fire and allowe"
to burn until the blaze reached a
height of around 100 feet, then the
foamite chemical and water mixture
was used putting it out. 90 pounds
of foamite was used and the water
was taken from the Valley River
several yards away. It required but
forty seconds to extinguish the
flame. Some two thousand people
witnessed this demonstration, in
cluding representatives from fire
fighting agencies as far away as
Sweetwater, Tenn., and Waynesville,
N. C. This was the second time the
demonstration of this new chemical
has been publicly demonstrated in
the state, it was said.
An interesting feature of the
booths was the one depicting the dif
ferent phases of the welfare work in
the county . and the Girl Scouts. The
booth was attractively arranged,
with paper houses and clothes pins
painted and dressed as people.
Among the posters displayed was one
giving the promise of Girl Scouts,
and one giving the Laws of Girl
Scouts, with different phases of ihe
Welfare W ork as follows: Mother's
Aid: Help People to Help Them
selves: Help Those In Distress;
School Attendance: Preventative
Work: Wholesome Recreation, etc.
This booth was arranged by Mrs.
Kathleen Warren. Public Welfare
Superintendent, with the assistance
of the two troops of Murphy Girl
Scouts.
Dr. S. C. Heighway "s display of .
relics and heirlooms was unus-j
uallv interesting, showing the dress- j
es he wore as a baby. one of his
mother's dresses, and one worn by
his grandmother, which represent- j
ed the styles of those times, and
which were well preserved both as
to color and fabric. His exhibit of
Indian relics was very interesting,
showing pipes, spear heads, arrow
heads, dishes, and various articles
manfactured and used by the Indians
when they inhabited the land, some
of which were perfect specimens.
I)r. Heighway has a valuable col
lection of Indian relics, which have
been collected over a period of
many years. |
The exhibit of the Murphy Grad- !
ed school was attractive, interesting. I
instructive, and very neatly arrang- j
ed. It showed what the pupils of the
different classes and grades are do
ing. and also showed that much
time and effort had been expended 1
in preparing the different articles
on display, such as hand painted
pottery, health bulletins, crayon
work, illustrations. Japanese Ian- j
terns, etc.. etc. A stud\ of the dis- 1
play of this school, which was fKe
only school display on exhibit, w as |
well worth anyone's time.
A list of prize winners will be'
carried as so<yi as available.

MURPHY WOMAN
LAID TO REST
SUNDAY P.M.
|
Mrs. A. K. Dickey JT'as IT ell Known
and Beloved In This
Section
Mr?. Mattie (McLeod) Dickey, 67
years old, wife of A. K. Dickev, he
loved and prominent Murphy wo
man, died at her residence Friday
night at 11:15, September 28th,
after an illness of several weeks.
All that loving hands and medical
science could administer was done
to no avail. The Death Angel hov
|ered near, and Mrs. Dickey passed
i out quietly and peacefully, crossing
the great divide and entering the
land from whose bourne no travel
er ever returns.
Mrs. Dickey was a member of the
Baptist church since early youth, and
always lived a devoted and conse
crated life. She lived to see all of
her children grown and holding
prominent positions of responsibil
ity in the affairs of the state and
nation. She was born at Ducktown,
iTenn., and lived for a number of
years at Washington. Ga., later mov
ing to Murphy where ?he spent the
remaining years of her life.
Funeral services were held in the
Baptist church Sunday afternoon at
2:30 by the pastor. Rev. T. L. Sasser,
assisted by Rev. H. P. Powell, pas
tor of the Methodist church, and in
terment was in Sunset cemetery.
She is survived by her husband
and six children: Mrs. \Y. T. Smalley
of Macon. Ga; Rev. H. C. Dickey,
of Yi illiamston, \. C.: Misses Hat
tie Lou and Helen Dickey, of Atlan
ta, Ga., and Mrs. Fred Christopher
I and Mrs. Neil Snecd of Murphy.
CANNERY PEOPLE
VISIT MURPHY
Mr. J. A. Pollard and Mr. Dick
Scruggs. of Sweetwater. Tenn., rep
resentatives of the people who are
Peking to establish a cannery at
Murphy, spent several days in town
Lhis week interviewing prominent
business men and citizens, ill the in
terest of establishing a cannerv at
Murphy for canning beans and to
matoes.
The cannery has been assured,
provided 400 acres of beans and to
matoes can be secured for furnish
ing such a business. Those who are
interested in establishing a cannery
here, had a booth at the fair and se
cured 49 acres during the first three
days.
A cannery at Murphy would be a
great help to the farmers of this
section, in giving them ? absolutely
guaranteeing; a market tor 400
acres of beans and tomatoes, at a
price which is said to be above the
I average for these products on the
[acreage basis.
I If you want a market for your
j beans and tomatoes ? 400 acres of
them ? a cash market, at that ? it
would l>e to your interest to see R.
\V. Gray, county agent. B. W. Sipe,
or Yt . M. Fain, as soon as possible,
secure one of the contract blanks
and fill it out and thus help to bring
a market to Murphy that is badly
needed. It is understood that beans
and tomatoes onl\ are wanted the
first year, however, when the can
nery company gets started it expec ts
to can other products.
Do the farmers of this section
want such a market? It is up to
them, and the response they make to
j this c all will largely determine
whether they shall have such a mar
ket.
i Do your bit now! Don't wait!
Few legumes add more nitrogen
j to the soil than sweet clover. The
(crop i? pro* inp valuable to pied
mont fanners.
