Hawkins, chairman of the invita tion committee, could not fee present ? on aecount of teh illneas of Mre. ! Hawkins, Furniture Factory Burns; Loss Is $40,000 The Furniture Factory, belonging to W. H. Woodbury and: others, was burned to the gro\ n Tuesday night and the building and all its contents, estimated at around $10,000, was a total loss. The plant had not been in operation for several months, and was sold at auction recently by the Bank of Murphy, Mr. Woodbury and others bidding it in. The fire was discovered at the back of the building about 6:30 on Tuesday night, and because of the dry condition and the material of which it was constructed, was soon beyond control. When the fire de partment arrived all of one side of the building was in flames, but the firemen were able, by hard work, j to keep the flames from spreading to the Cherokee Manufacturing Com pany's plant, the the twin building above the factory and the dry kiln belonging to the factory. The flame* lighted the sky for miles, so rapidly did the building burn, and the bark on a tree about 100 feet from the building was burn ed from top to bottom. It was only by a miracle that the fire depart ment save the other adjacent build ings. It is believed by many that the building was set on fire. Fred Deck er had worked there im the after noon, and left shortly before dark, and he said he never had a fire. Mr. Gentry, who acts as watchman over the lumber just above the factory, said he passed the building about ten minutes before th fire was dis covered and heard somone walking in the building. It is said that Fred Davis, an eleven year old boy, was down there shortly before it burned and was run away by a rathr old man who had a load of kindling wood in his arms. Two unknown persons are said to have been hanging around the building in the shadows several nights before, and their actions were lik they did not want to be seen. The mysterious persons seen and heard about the building before the fire and the fact that it was said to have started from inside the build ing leads many to believe that the tire was not an accident. However, no motive can be assigned why any one would desire its destruction, and many believe thatit was purely an I accident. It is understood that Mr. Wood bury had planned to start operating the factory in the spring. No insur ance was carried. The furniture factory building was erected a quarter century ago by Mr. Samuel Coffin., who now owns and operates a veneer plant at Mur phy. It was operated up until sev eral years ago, when Mr. Woodbury's health became such that he had to suspend operations. Later George Cope and others interested them selves in its operation by leasing it and running it for several months, but the venture proved unprofitable and was abandoned. GEORGE WASHINGTON BIRTHDAY PARTY The Woman's Missionary Society of the Baptist Church will give a George Washington Silver Tea in the ladies parlor of the church on Fri day evening, February 21st, at 7:00 o'clock.

Powell read a most interesting paper on "The Life and Works of Chopin." The lovely prelude, familiarly known as The Raindrop Prelude, was beautifully rendered by Mrs. C. W. Savage. The Junior Department of the Music Club was most creditably represent ed by Grace Wills Bell, who played the Chopin Waltz Brilliant in A flat with a marked degree of technique and interpretation.

Theses hears wer? killed during the open bear season that has just passed. It has been reported by the Re fuge Keepers that bears ai*? now beginning to accumulate of the State Game Refuges of Western North Carolina. With proper pro tection of cooperation as has been shown in the past o ntbe areas set aside as State Game Refugues, plac ed for game to retreat and be at rest and to hrted and raise their young without being disturbed, the sport of bear hunting in Western North Carolina will increase. I wish to thank each and every bear hunter in the Western District for his fine cooperation and interest in the protection of the Refuges while hunting an dhandling bear dogs around the refuges during the open bear season. The bear hunters have shown a great interest in teh State Game Refuges during this hunting season, and I wish to state that this sooperation is higrhly appreciated by the Department of Concervatron and Development, C. N. MEASE Asst. State Game Warden. L. M. A. QUINT BEATS ONEIDA HIGH 18-17 Harrogate, Tenn. ?

CRISP AND MORROW PLAY HAVOC WITH THIS MAN'S STILL Calling of Cows Warns Operators, Who Grab Still and Flee Into The Mountains Deputies R. L. Crisp and Bud Mor row enter <1 the yard of one Charlie Dodson, near Culberson, last Friday evening just as the shadows of night were creeping over the land, artned with a search warrant secured on a tip that liquor could b found in or near his house. When the officers began their search of the premises, Mrs. Dodson is said to have begun calling the cows and making arrangements to fe <1 them. The officers believe this was a warning to the operators of a .*50 gallon distilling outfit located about 175 yards from the house, and which they did not know existed at the time. They smelled mash about the house, and so strong did the sc< nt make contact with their sense of smell that they decided a still was being operated close by. They be gan a search i th. pine thicket on the mountain above the house. Their efforts were rewarded when they took to a beaten path up the moun tainside and stumbled onto what looked like a 30 gallon outfit in the midst of the thicket, high and dry, and a considerable distance from wa ter. The fire was still burnng n the furnace, but the worm and still was gon . Close by stood two 60-gallon barrels of mash, ready to be turned into beer. A number of empty bar rels stood close bv, an dplenty of fire wood was piled up. The opera tors had evidently been preparing to run all night. The officers knew that their quar ry had just fled, taking the still with them, and they began a hurried search through the thicket, which was said to be as dens? as a cane brake. Off down the mountain side they found a discarded overcoat, picked it up. and lo there was some liquor under it. Farther down, they fcund a barroV empty. Mor^ whis key was found scattered about thru the thicket. Their quest netted in all about six gallons, and due to the encircling darkness and the fact that they did not want to have the whis key unguarded, the operators got away, dragging their hot and steam ing still behind them. The officers poured out all of the mash, took a shovel and scattered it all over the ground so that it could not be gathered up and used. Then they broke up all the barrels, piled wood, barrels, tools, containers, and everything upon the fire and left it blazing upward into smoke. It is estimated that this particular raid set the booze business back about $150.00. On February 6th Officers Crisp and Morrow were called to the Hang ingdog section on a report that. Oss Evans was drunk and crazy and had gone on a shooting rampage. Evans saw the officers coming about a half mile away, and fled to the moun tains. While on this trip to Hang ingdop, they ran across another place where liquor was being made on the h ad of Davis creek, and poured out 120 gallons of beer. They stated that apparently it had been two days since the outfit had been operated. Wednesday of this week. Deputy Crisp brought in an outfit taken on the waters of Grape creek. It was of about 16 gallon capacity, ami two 60-gallon oarrels of beer were de stroyed. MRS. HILL ENTERTAINS WITH MUSICAL TEA The home of Mrs. J. N. Hill was the scene of a most gracious when she entertained with a musical tea on February 5th. The hostess presented those pres ent with an interesting list of ques tions to be answered by listening to these answers as they were played on the piano by Miss Annie Graham Anderson. Much merriment result ed from this contest. It was found that Mrs. Howard P. Powell had the greatest number of correct answers and the hostess presented her with the prize, a beautiful pitcher. Mrs. Steele and Mtk. Griffiths drew for the booby, which fell to Mrs. Grif fiths, and was a dainty handkerchief. A delightful salad and sweet course was served buffet style by Mrs. Hill, assisted by Mrs. Bayles. Each table was adorned with a lovely blooming cactus. Mrs. Paul E. Alexander, of Aahe ville, daughter of Mrs. Edith Clark, is spending the winter at the Dickey Hotel, assisting Mrs. Nettie Dickey. Her charming drscnalety and music al talent will add greatly to the al ready famous Hotel Hiekey.
