MIVMIV1 VII UVk <1 J V|<lCOL IIWHYV I group of the married ladies of Mur-P phy can still outcast their single 1 friends ("figuratively" speaking) I in the art of expertly and adroitly handling a basketball will be brought to light in the gymnasium here Friday night. Dressed nattily in the latest (and briefest) of court toggery, the married ladies while their atonished spouses sit by, will seek to impress upon their unmarried sisters that it '* takes more than time and married < life to cut a womans vim, vigor and vitality. The married ladies team which is being coached by Neil Sneed will be represented by Mrs.Dr. Holt, Mrs. H. A. Mattox, Mrs. Burt Savage, Mrs Walt Mauney, Mrs. R. G. Carter Mrs. Maude Duncan, Mrs. Ruth Nichols Mrs. Catherine Fain and many others. Mr. Sneed is not finding it very difficult to get these ladies whipped into shape - that is, a shape that would fit a modern, basketball court. And being a policeman, his heart is stout, his nerve is irrepressible and his perseverance is unsurmountable. Although Mr. Sneed has not contacted all the ladies he hopes to have playiqg for him Friday night, he is lining up at least three good teams, ro that any one of the forerunners can run out, fall out, drop out or pass out and the married element will Carry bravely on. The unmarried contingent of this basketball classic is being handled expertly by none other than Coach Oily Wade Deaton who has had much experience in handling women - and particularly basketball players. He has contracted to play for him such delightful pulchritude as Bruce Speight, that blond Carson beauty with the TVA, Miss Grace West, Toots Harriet Bricky, frultfi ?uolina. Covering ?

Thursday, Marc] JONS TO SELL EASTER SEALS FOR CRIPPLES rifty Dollars Will Be Raised By Penny Sales In Murphy The disposition of $50 worth of Crippled Childrens Easter seals in dirrphy was arranged by members of he local Lions club at their regular neeting here Tuesday night. Following a plan outlined by H. Sueck, superintendent of the Murphy schools who was in charge of the sale >f seals here, each member agreed o sell 200 seals valued at $2 to busiless and professional men in the Mown. It was pointed out by Dr. E. E. Vriams, secretary of the club, that r.Iy would this be the most plausible olution of dispensing the Murphy lub's quota of the seals, hut by so ! loing one half of the proceeds from ! he sale, which would amount to $25, vould be retained by the club to aid n its work for the crippled children >f the Murphy area. Sale of seals in the county is in 'harge of Bill Whitaker of the Anirews Rotary club. At Andrews a ommittee of Mr. Whitaker, the Rev. 2. P. Troutman, and I. B. Hudson are lisposing of $100 worth of seals hrough the Andrews school. At the meeting, which was presided over by W. M. Fain, vlce-presilent, in the absence of President G. W. Ellis, who is ill, R. G. Carter, iwner of the Ideal cleaning establishment here, was elected to membership in the club. Members also decided to provide treatment for three local children who have recently been found to have defective sight, and to aid another in being enrolled in a state institution | for the blind. Dave Carringer and E. R. Thompson were appointed as a committee by Mr. Fain to raise more funds for the establishment of a mattress factory here which will employ several blind men. A. Q. Ketner announced that the club wuld sponsor a speaker from the extension department of Raieigh at i future meeting, and Mr. Bueck extended an invitation for the speaker to appear before the local student 3ody.

Mr. Moore, about 60, was buried in a local cemetery Tuesday, March 2. Thursday at midnight his widow had suddenly become the blushing, beaming bride of Mr. Carter. Mrs. Moore gave her age as 35 to the ordinary at Blairsviile, Ga., who performed the perfunctory marriage rites in his shirt sleeves and with the aid of a kerosene lamp. Mr. Moore's burial clothes and Mrs. Carter's wedding gown were bought from the same merchant here within a few hours of each other. Mr. Carter awoke a local justice of peace in the middle of the night, and asked him to marry him. The I justice explained that the ceremony could not be performed until a license had been obtained from the register of deeds, who by this time was fast asleep. It was also explained that total marriage fees amount to something j like six or seven dollars here - -- ? wuicn was more tnan Mr. Carter had in pocket at that time. So, Mr. Carter, sensing a marriage within 5z cents of his total assets, which amounted to a little | more than $3, hied him away with I his bride-to-be through the crisp night air to the Georgia matrimonial bicr-and his wife's second honeymoon. Carson Tuesday was arraigned before Mayor J. B. Gray on a charge of dsturbance of the peace. The mayor gave him his choice of | two months on the road at Andrews or leaving the county for good. Tuesday night Carson was gone ?and his new bride is apparently a widow again.

Attendance may be either on an invitation basis or club membership basis. ES A DRINK AND Y RALEIGH WRITERS ture, "Under The Dome" recently: REPEALER? Having achieved what no Representative from a far western county, traditionally the land of moonshine liquor and fervent Drys ever has, Representative Harry (Light-horse) Cooper of Cherokee could go home with his slate of "must" legislation closed but the Representative from the furthest jvest county doesn't intend to until he goes for good. Last week end saw the last of Cooper's bills to legalize Sunday baseball and movies in Cherokee enafcfced. Another Cooper law legalized pool rooms in his county. That makes Cherokee the only small county west of the Blue Ridge not under rigid "blue laws." Frequently the target of Speaker Cherry's darts. The Qentleman from Cherokee seldom loses his ability to "take it", and he has contributed to some of the lighter moments in the House, of which he has been one of the most faithful attendants. The reason: He lives more than 400 miles from Raleigh and can't get to his home in Murphy and back in a single week-end without considerable inconvenience. Only once since the j session began has he gone home and i that was when he went on over into j Tennessee to aopear as counsel in the I McFadden-Gaddis murder trial. He' was absent a week that time.
