Carl Bryan Heartbroken Old Story; Boy And His Dog This /is a story? told many timei before ? about a boy and his dog. It isn't a new story. It has hap pened the world over. It will hap pen again. This time it happened in Murphy. ? Every boy who has lost a dog knows the heartbreak and loneli ness. But to lose three in less than a year is almost unbearable for seven-year-old Carl Bryan Town son. In the four months Cart Bryan had had "Flash". he had grown to love and cherish the big friendly boxer. He was gradually getting over the loss of ids big Shepherd "Tuffy." Before that, his first dog, "Blackie" was (killed by an auto mobile about two months after it was befriended by Ctrl Bryan. "Tvttf" replaced "Blackie"? if replacing ? dog ' h possible? then in November of last year "Tuffy" met with the same fate as Blackie. An auto claimed his life. Carl Bryan's heart was heavy with pain, emptiness. His hours of play were sad, lonely. The little boy prayed to God "send my dog back". "Tuffy" didn't come back but "Flash" soon became the running mate of Carl Bryan. Next to Mama and Daddy, Carl Bryan probably loved "Flash" bet ter than anything in the world. Carl Bryan and "Flash" had spent many, many hours together this summer. They had t>ecome in separable companions. Then tragedy struck again last week. This time it was a pack of four or five dogs making a gang at tack on "flash". The champion that be was ia the eyes at Carl Bryan, "Flaah" cotfld not withtsand five enemies at once. He died shortly after the assault. Carl Bryan cried, heartbroken pleading, "Why did God do that? He knew I loved "Flash". Why couldn't it have been some other dog?" Carl Bryan's parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Townson of Murphy^ ex plained the best they could that God' works in strange ways at time but always does what is best for us. Carl Bryan is without a dog. But he has many cherished memories. Memories of the gnat times he had with all three of his dogs, "Blackie", "Tuffy" and "Flash". It isn't easy for a seven-year-old to carry the burden caused by the low of his pets. Yet, Car! Bryan has accepted his heartbreak and can smile through. He has found one comfort: "m have plenty of dogs to play with when I go to Heaven." ??> ] Jgjg DRIVE UNDERWAY HERE TO LIGHT FOOTBALL HELD; FUNDS SOUGHT A drive started here this week to raise funds for lighting equipment for the high school football field. It is hoped the campaign moves rapidly enough to permit installation of the lights before the first home game on Friday, September 20. John Gill heads a five-man committee that is backing the program. Other members are Ben Palmer, Dr. William R. Gossett, the Rev. R. T. Houts and Dr. George W. Dyer. Plans call for eight poles, four on each side of the field with 10 enclosed lights on each pole. These 80 lights will cost approximately $50 each or a total of f4,000. Mr. Gill said only about five weeks are left before the season opens and he urged all football enthusiasts to get behind the project 100 per cent. He called for contributions immediately. Anyone interested in making a donation should contact any member of the committee. Contributions may also be mailed directly to The Citizens Bank and Trust Co. in Murphy. Contrib^oafc-mgile^T {o the bank should be marked: Murphy F'*JtWfrFie\?rtigJits. The committee believes night football games will create more interest in the sport here and provide a bigger turn out of spectators. It was pointed out that many enthusiasts of the sport have been unable to attend games in the past because of their work during the afternoons. i 4 Murphy Youths ; Injured Tuesday ; In Auto Accident i ~ t An 18-year-old Murphy youth, one of four persons injured in an auto mobile accident here early Tues day morning, was in critical con dition Wednesday in an Aflheville hospital.
