Marriage License Issued Four marriage license were issued .In..;.-.,. *U iL - ? 1* T> : . c uuiuiK lik munin 01 may, ivegisu-r 01 Deed? B. L. Padgett stated this week. This is an increase, Mr. Padgett said, and is p.rhaps due to the changing oyer many months in previous yea'rs, ?f the marriage license laws by the last legislature. The law eliminated the medical examination of those securing license, and this makes a reduction in the fees of the prospective nuptials. License issued during May follow: May 20, to R. S.

Improvement Noted In State Relief Work Raleigh, N. C., Mayli)?Further economic improvements are indicated in the percentage of Noth Carolina individuals who a're dependent upon relief, according to statistics given out today by the Governor's Office of Relief. During the month of March, 81P.1G4 individuals were aided as compared with oyo,aoo in April, a decrease from 25 pe'r cent of the entire population to a little more than 21 per cent. These figures are computed on the basis of 5 persons to the family, plus the number of non-family persons aided. Difring April 138,031 families were aided and 7,868 non-family persons during March, a decrease of about 16 pec cent. 'The percentages of destitution in the various counties show a similar decline, there being a decrease in all but 22 of the counties. Stanly continues to lead all counties with the smallest percentage of destitute persons, its relief load of 1,113 individuals being only 3.7 per cent of its population. This percentage is also a decrease over the previous month, which was 6.4 per cent. Stanly is and has been throughout the entire winter the banner county of the State in so far as destitute individuals is concerned. It has led continously in percentage figures. Even during April there were two counties, TyVrell and Clay, with percentage above 50. There were five such counties in MaTch. The number of destitute persons aided in Cherokee and adjoining counties during April together with the percentage of the total population as compared with March, follows: COUNTY MARCH APRIL Swain 21.8 21.3 Jackson 28.6 23.5 Cherokee 34.5 34.2 Graham 38.8 36.4 Clay 63.6 72.0 o?Mr. James Williamson of Canton sn:nt last week end with his father, Mr. R.

Carolina, Covering a Large and Pc C., Friday, June 2, 1933 LIGHT FROM STAR OPENS WORLD S FAIR Light from the sta'r Arcturus was caught by telescopes at four widely separated cibservfcitoKcs Saturday night and caused signals to pass over Western Union telegraph lines to Chicago to open the Century of Progress Exposition. Four observatories cooperated in this ceremony because it was desirable that it should not have to be posted btcau- of cloudy weather at any one point. These observatories w re Yerkes, Williams Bay, Wis; the observatory at Harva'rd, Cambridge, Ma.-s; the observatory at Urhana, III., and the observatory at Allegheny, Pa. .Viccuius, a fixed star of the first magnitude in the constellation of Bootes is approximately forty light years distant from the Earth, or forty times the distance light ravels in one year. When he Columbian Ep- j position in Chicago opened in 18113, Arcturus sent rays of light which were destined to reach the Earth at the time the Century of Progress Exposition opened. Western Union provided lines direct from each observatory to the Exposition, ready to carry the opening signal. The General Electric Company and the Westinghouse Electric Company installed photoelectric cell.at the observing end of the telescopes which received the light ot the star. Operators at the observatories lis-1 tencd to radio broadcasts of the ceremonks at the Exposition. At the correct time they exposed the photoelectric cells to the light of the star. When the equipment ope'ratid by the tube closed the circuit in the telegraph line, the implul e traveled ov i the line direct to the Exposition and closed a contact there. The signal from each observatoTy clo-ed n of a series of contacts and the closing of the last contact completed a circuit which operated a master switch. This ? witch lighted a powerful I searchlight on the towi'r of the Ilall of Science. When the beam of the searchlight was turned on the building of the Exposition, the light caused photoelectric c lis at each building to generate current and turn on the exterior illumination of the Exposition. o SAM AKIN CIRCLE A New Stunt In The Methodist Church Last Friday night at a meeting at the Methodist church the women of the church u re complaining that the nun had not been doing any thing, while the ladies had been working hard. Mrs. Mattox appointed Mr. Sam Akin, as Chairman of the Men's circle, in a joking way. Mr. Akin accept- d the appointment and started to work on his cfrcle. Up to date more than 25 men have joined the circle, and it is believed that more than -o more nun can oe securtu. It is the plan of this circle to put on some plays, se'rve some suppers and pull some stunts that will create some interest and activities on the part of the male members of the church. Failure to cooperate and to work at a task has meant the death of many an organization. Thtre is in this new organization a possibility of something that will pull the men together as nothing else has done in the past. We want every man in the Methodist chtfrch to become a member of this circle. We need the fellowship and the good that can come to us from this work. We need to realize that our church and its work stands in need of our wo'rk and time. Soon there will be a meeting for organization and to plan some activities. Let eve'ry one boost our work and bring in all the members ' that can be brought in . We may cause the Women to change their minds.. 23 Deeds Recorded During Month May Twenty-three deeds and 18 deeds of trust were recorded in the office, of Register of Deeds B. L. Padgett, it was learned this week, which sets a 'record for deeds and deeds of trusts | recorded in any one month this year. Mr. Padgett said he had not checked the record, but it probably also set a record for any one month during the past year. This is a sure indication that business in the realestate field is on the I upgrade, and an indication that business generally i3 improving. t fiwi rtentially Rich Territory in This State Tennessee Couple L Married At Dickey House May 30th Miss Oda Ina Stoke?, of Chattanooga, Tenn., and Mr. Janus F.

The libary has no in- b comt and books wear out, become old s and out of date and must be 'replenished. It may not be generally known n but there are almost &s many patrons P of the library who live in the county 1> as who live in Murphy. The people ? from the Bates Creek section. Peach- e tree, Martin's Creek and other sec- t; tions borrow books and seem to tnjuy e l eading them; and it is always a pleas- t ... 1... *i 1 . 1 1 ' i*i. -vj ici mem iihvu mem. For the next month the Trustees ? are trying to interest the people of * Murphy and the surrounding country 'A districts to become members of the ? Library to the extent of contributing n $1.00 a year, every cent derived from v >uch contributions to b used in pu'r- u chasing new books to be added to b those in the Library, and available r< for those who desire to borrow them d under th'- 'rules, and read them. It is tl hoped that many people may see Miss P lusi-phine Ileighway, the Librarian, hand in their dollar and aid this most " worthy cause. Last vtar a good deal v was collected by this method and now 0 w are making the same request of L everybody. By making this payment ? of one dollar vou become a member and your help is needed. li If you cannot spare a dollar, surely you can raise half a dollar. Let's NV all join in thos effort to add to the * Public Library and show a proper appreciation of it. The write'r learns n that every member ot the trustees J has handed in a dollar and did so last year as well.

American Legion Posts of uYphy and Andrews observed Meorial day by d corating the graves f all veterans of all wars with small m rican flags. Every cemetery in le county was visited by members I" these posts, and ev^ry grave idenfied as that of a veteran, whether ivil Wa'r,_J5panish American War, r the World War, received a small ag, in memory of the service he underfed his country in time of its bed. However, many graves of veterans, o doubt, did not receive om of these ags, due to the fact that they all ould not I t identifited as veterans f a war. And it any reade'r knows f a grave of a veteran of any war in le county which was not decorated ith a small Ame'rican flag will noify any of the officers of the Amer:an Legion in the county, the matter ill receive immediate attention. 'Many of the three cemeteries visitd by the writer contain graves with talkers and some without markers, tnd some of those with markers do ot identify the one resting there as eing a veteran of any war, while ome do. The Federal government will furish lVee of charge, transportation epaid to the railroad point of dtvery, to and relative of a veteran a uitable marker Or head stone, p"roprly inscibed, upon application eonaining the name of the veteran, onipany or unit and war in which he veteran served. The United laughters of the Confederacy, a year r so ago, made a strenuous effort a get these markers for all veterans rave in th- county, end did a wondrful work in sccurim* and havintr larked the resting? place of many eterans. However, many are still r.marktd, ar.J this situation should e remedied. And it is the duty and espon-ibility of the relatives and e^cendants of those veterans to see hat these markers are secured and laced at the# head of thei'r graves. The American Legion officials are esirous of securing a list of all the eterans of all the wars bu'ried in very cemet ry in Cherokee county, t will be appreciated by the Legion fficials if a list of these veterans nn be securtd by cemetery commit?es and handed in <?r sent in to then. d that the decorations in the future ill assure that no veteran's gVave 'ill be overlooked. rAX LISTING IS COMPLETED Wednesday, May 31st, marked the losing of tax listing in the county, V. T. MooVe, tax supervision anounced this week. The tax listers ave been busy during thi past lonth and a number of them will be usy at Murphy for the pext few days iling and straightening up the lists or the six townsips. The register of deeds office was ristructed to go through the records nd check_up on the mortgage deeds, keds of trust, and chattel mortgages corded since April 1. 1932, so that hey could be checked to ascertain f they had been listed for taxes. Lbout $75,000.00 of this type of taxible property has been checked, ome of which has been listed and ome of which has not. This type of roperty must be listed for taxes, as cell as all postal savings stamp cerit. w?<* snid. Just how the taxes listed this year ompare with taxes listed for 1932 s not known yet, due to the fact that he. final and total figures are still o be ascertained. 'However, it is beieved that the amount will show a Iccrease, due partly to the greatly lepreciated values and partly to the act that the listers are equalizing alues. o Ministers to Meet May 5 The Cherokee and Clay county Ministerial conference will meet in egular session at the First Baptist hurch in Murphy. Monday June he 5th. The program subject of the last neeting ..Discipline in the home chool chuYch and the State, will be :ontinqed the subject of the comng session.
