City Clerk. E. CI II.: hes said this week I Consumption n January exceed-1 ?d any montii in the history of the j ilectric depa: t :nent. Mr. Hughes j reported. 1'h (>95 residential j customers um i ?n average of 435 kilowatt hou. during the month. "Only ten of the 140 distributors of TVA pow r topped this rec ord." Mr Hiuhes declared. Because of the increased usage, unit cost wa> 'he lowest ever. The average cost per kilowatt hour was 1.12 cents Mr Hughes also related consum er figures for the 1947 calendar year. They showed a lively jump i ver the fiscal year ending last -June 30 Here is the calendar year aver age for residential customers: 1947. 3345; 1946 2044 1945; 2218; 1941. 1481. "These figures show that resi dential users have more than doubled their consumption of electricity since 1941." Mr Hughes pointed out The average annual bill for the 1947 calendar year was $45.56. which means an average cost of 1.36 cents a kilowatt hour. At the Name time. Mr. Hughes said, the average residential consumer for the nation as a whole used 1438 kilowatt hours during the year and !iad a bill of $44.43. or 3.09 cents a kilowatt hour. Thus, the average residential consumer in Murphy used 2-1 3 times as much electric ity as the average for the nation ; s a whole, for which he paid only $1.13 more. The Electric Department is undertaking an extensive rehabili tation program to improve its ?ervice.

KEEPSAKE Diamond Rings REGISTRATION CERTIFI CATE WITH EVERT DIAMOND Davis' Jewelers Famous Dickey Hotel Replaced By Modern Brick Store Buildinqs The Dickey Hotel, long a land- j mark in Murphy, a few months a?:o ( was purchased by E E. Stiles and later torn down Now three new brick store buildings have gont up on the site of the old Drum- ! fliers' home Smoky Mountain Gas J company and Fowler's Electrical Shop occupy two of the buildings, j and one is still vacant. The old Dickey hotel was estab- ? lished by the late Mrs. Nettie ] Die key born in Sneedville. Tenn.. ! daughter of the Rev. M H. B j Burkett. a Methodist minister who ; went from Sneedville to Cleveland j Tcnn . where he founded a school. Known as the "Students' Home", l of which he was president for the remainder of his life. To this school, three Murphv . young men ? T. C. Dickey. his | brother. A K Dickey, and cousin. T. L. Dickey, went, and "T.*C ". as mine of the boys called him. fell in love with the president's daugh ter They agreed to marry, eloped ?nd went to his father's home near ' Murphy, where they lived unM 18Jil when Mr. Dickey was appoint ed postmaster at Murphy. He also engaged in the mercantile busi ness. In 1884. Mrs. Dickey persuaded her hu>band to allow her to begi i operating a hotel at their homo The venture was successful. Thus the famous old hostelry came into being. Many additions were mad? to the original building as increas ed patronage made this necessary. For many years the "Dickey House", known as the "Drumme Home". was the only hotel in Murphy and every one who travel ed tiie Murphy branch of the ' Southern Railroad and the L. & N ! railroad, knew much of the hosoi tality of the Dickey hotel, wher* thousands of guests from "all I over" were cared for and given a j genuine treat in excellent food 1 and hospitality. Mr and Mrs. Dick ey operated the hotel together till j his death in 1924. and she carried on alone till her death in 1936. Mrs. Dickey had a large collec tion of animal pets which resem bled a menagerie. She had a cemetery back of the hotel wh?rc she buried those which died. She also had a large collection of an!i. ques, which included furnituf>~ china and silver. After her death, the hotel w,s operated for five years by hp, daughter-in-law, Mrs. Bass xhel ma i Dickey, and later by various people before it was demolished Of the 921 pedestrian accidents in North Carolina in 1947 525 oc curred in the daytime, 55 at dusk .-nd 341 at night.
