Both: fighter.- were warming up in the cen-' ter r.f the ring when Crawford un corked a right that floored Dixon for the count of nine.

They spar for a few seconds when Crawford again comes over with a left that connect ed with Dixon's jaw and sent him sprawling through the ropes to be brought back in by his seconds. Bell.

Gaily colored banners and signs are attracting large crowd? to the Dick ey Chevrolet Company, and accord ing to Mr. Dickey,- business condi tions in Murphy must be good, if the number of deals closed at his lot during the first few days of the salt are any indication. Mr. Dickey gave the reporter soni very interesting facts concerning us ed cars during an interview ye.-u-i day. The dealer declare that more used cars are sold each y.ar than new cars and that the demand is steadily increasing due to dealers* faithful ness in completely reconditioning and guaranteeing the cars they tak ? in trad before re-selling them. "Cars are being built better to day than formerly and are driven a shorter time by the original ? wri"r due to yearly urge to trade ? the latest model; a- a result, the re.:: jority of used cars have man". \< ; of service left, particularly win - i? considered that the av rage in- <?' a car is six years."

NEW BERN ?yHE first newspaper published in North Carolina was established in 1755 at New ? Bern by James Davis. The paper was called "The North Carolina Gazette". During the Revolution printing of papers ceased and there is no record of a paper in the State until 1 783 when Robert Keith started a weekly paper at New Bern. Keith said the people had learned the "Worth by the Want". There are now thirty eight daily and one hundred and sixty three weekly papers in the State. The news papers of North Carolina thru the broadcasting of facts about our State have been instrumental hi building up community and State pride. Their public-spiritedness is manifest. The material benefit is negligible to most newspapermen who take special pride in producing a good paper filled with profitable and enjoyable information for people of their communities. Large corporations are today spending millions for news, paper ad ??*. Retail merchants and small manufacturers are fast realizing that newspaper ad\ ertising is a good investment, \ t r * ? * t ' > ?* - v ^ EGG HUNT OF LIONS CLUB ON APRIL 19TH Committee Appointed for Annual Easter Event at Meeting Tuesday Night I The annual Easter egg hunt of the j Murphy Lions Club will bi* held on ' Saturday.
