The Credit Card Bureau proposed was made Tuesday, September 20 at the regular meeting of the merchants group at the Power Board building. The credit plan would be patterned after the system used by the major oil com panies. The Credit Card Bu reau would maintain a cen tral office, stalled by a credit manager. Credit cards would b e issued t o those shoppers meedng the required credit standards. Application forms would be supplied to those de siring credit in Murphy stores. Credit risks would be checked by the Credit Card Bureau Office. Wally Williams, president of the merchant group said, "A. credit plan Is needed in Murphy to create better bus iness and better reladonships between customers and re tailers. The aim of the Mer chants Association is to cre ate goodwill. We think this is a step in the right di rection." Individual storeswouldhan dle their own monthly state ments. Collections on past due accounts could be turned over to the Credit Card Bu reau Manager. This system would enable a person who needs credit to obtain it in the town of Murphy. A good slogan would be "Cash If you got it -Credit if you need It." Grave Of Old Cheesesquire, Cherokee Indian, Marked The final resting place of the old Cherokee Indian who lived to be 137 years old, or more, and who died sometime after the year 1880 on Ground Squirrel Branch on U. S. 129 has been located and marked with a large marble marker at the low gap on the old. Indian Trail from the Stump Ford to Fort Montgomery^ (Robbinsville) directly across and up the ridge from the present residence of Roscoe Orr. Cheesesquire, who said that he played ball on the present site of the City of Knoxville, when Knoxville was just some old sage grass fields, said that he was born about the year 1743 and was sixteen years old when the last herd of buffalo left Cheoah Val ley, because he followed the herd across the present Hoo per Bald, as they headed west, never to be seen in this coun try again, was seen by many citizens of Graham County, before his death. One of these was Charlie Denton and a nother was Mrs. Henry Mill saps of Athens, McMinnCoun ty, Tennessee. Lorenzo Dow Hooper made a picture (tin type) of Cheesesquire in Rob binSville about the year 1878 but the picture has been lost. The monument was erected to Cheesesquire by Roscoe Orr, who donated his services and the use of his horse and sled; by Walt Wiggins who furnished the wire and posts to fence in the spot and by Claude Hyde who furnished the truck to haul the head stone, with appropriate let tering to Roscoe Orr's and by cash donations from the following citizens and natives of Robbinsville. T. M. Jen kins, Attorney: Ed Ingram, Druggist; Belle Slaughter: Leonard Phillips; Pat Small; Smith Howell; J. J. Dula,Jus tice of the Peace; E. M. Queen; Ross Smith, Robert B. Barker, attorney of Washington, native of Rob binsville, did the research and brought the headstone from Hayes Dockery'splantinMur phy, when the stone was faced and lettered. It is planned to mark the location of the stone on U. S. Highway 129 at Ross Hol land's store by an approp riate sign and to grub out the old Indian Trail near the grave, which is still in good condition after almost fifty years of disuse. Over fifty tourists visited the Cheesesquire grave, during the past summer al though it was only markedwith an old stump. No boon-doggling Federal Agency, engaged in wasting the tax-payers money, pro vided any inspiration or con tributed a cent to this pro ject. Valley River Garden Club To Meet Today The Valley River Garden Club will meet today at the home of Mrs. Loy Seay at 3:00 p.m. Mrs. Fred McCon nell will serve as co-hostess for the meeting.
