T " NT ' rniricca ivioiiuci^ i * At a meeting of r<; sentati V citizens of Murphy \nd Andrews whi h was ..el : at the Hut in An. ii. w- Monday night, plans fcr the selection a.'.t procurement of a suitable site for a golf course and club he-use were carried further as committees maie lav r..he reports on several sites which had been inspecte I during the past week and present - d kr considration estimates of the c st and upkeep of such a course. Among the site that were inspect cd and considered tor a course w:re 0 fi'ms 1 Mr. Lee Watkin.- Mr. Gay Green, Mr. Carl Townsend, and Mr. McHan. As yet no d ini'e decisi 11 as to which one of tile- sites w i Id ' best suited to the requirements h. s " en made. Mr. T. A. Ca-e, ch: rmai. of the i committee a;1 oiivted by W. L). Whitaker at the last mot ting held in Murphy, report d the descriptions anil sites with some details as. to the I y of the land, water and c .-ts with reference to leas v. Serving on this committee with Mr. Ca.-o were: Mr. H. Bueck, Murphy: Mr. \rthur Paln.er, Marble; Mr. John Arc?. r; Hon. W. W. A she, Andews. Fr.vorable reports were made by the committee on im mbership. The Mup* hy committee reported a list of thirty-nine members who promised to join. The Andrews committee reported a rr. .'mbership of twenty-five with possibly dive more to be added to that number. Th Marble comn ' teo rep rted eiglu members. This total cf s e.:ty-sev n m mbers exceeded the- .. er e.timatd at t&e n ass meeting h Id in Murphy last week. The exact munbeiship fee has not been d.cided upon but the sifm of $15.00 is being considered. Some question has been raised on the point regarding family m mbership where only one member of that laniily holds membership in the ciub. As yet no decision has been made on this matter but the consequent- of opinion seems to be that one full m mbership with a small nominal fee for each other member of the family wouid be the feasible solution of this problem. No provision has been made for guests of members as yet but this , will be worked out in time. The erection cf a club house is of vital importance to the course, it is j believed, and it has been practically agreed upon to build the club hous upon the site selected, using FERA labor. Materials for the erection of th. ciub will have to be furnished by ; th ? membersh'p and stockholders but no difficulty is anticipated in pro! curing government labor f r the ' erection of the club house and the j work to be done on the golf course. | It is planned to incorporate the club | immediately upon the beginning of 1 the work. Mr. R. W. Gray, federal relief I agent of Murphy, will apply for the necessary appropriation just as soon as estimates can be made up. The next mating of those interested will b held in Marble next Tuesday night at eight o'clock. Everyone interested in golf is urged to attend. Mr. G. W. Ellis Mr.' G. W. Ellis, distributor for tie Golf Refining company bore, is very much improved after a severe illness that has kept htm In bed and under medical attention for the past several weeks. It is said he wQI probably be cot in a few days. ? Mr. Bill Bayless Bill Bayless, popular student at iNorth Carolina State college, in Raleigh, son of Col. and Mrs. L. E. Bayless. has been home here for several wgpks recuperating from an attack of ytTlow jaundie. His condition is much, iir-rpvd.
