Although the number of our TVA men in dwindling, we should pass a warnng to those that are left who take to the woods daily. Even though it is getting late in the season and the nights are cold, the snakes still crawl. This is the story of a TVA man, as told by himself, and the remarkable part of it is he lived to tell it. As is the TVA man's lot after a hard morning's work, this lad found it very easy to follow Mother Nature's cosmic urge to grab a little "shut-eye" during the noon hour. Forthwith he sought a sunny spot in a field close by and became steeped in the arms of good old Morpheus. While sleeping soundly, he was rudely pertrubed by something that lepeatedly bumped him on the neck. frutten h Carolina.

Sweat popped out on iris forhead? not the sweat that comes from labor but the kind of juice that oozes out when reptiles try to puncture a man's trachea. He jumped to his feet just as the snake coiled and with one well-aimed blow with a man-sized ground biscuit, it was curtains for a big Copperhead. Hrushng his hands, he hitched his pants one time, cut a notch in his boot and took to his tripods. t #ruj Potentially Rich Territory in This Su 19M: 2 Governor, Co WiH Speak I As Election REGULAR MEET ' OF LIONS CLUB 1 HELD TUESDAY b \ . \'umber Of Interesting ' Measures Are Considered By Local Ciub ? ii The Murphy Lions Club held its j1 eeular semi-monthly .-ession at the 11 Murphy Cafe Tuesday night, with j ' twenty one members anil two guests j present. j ^ Li 'n President H.
