PRSS TO PUBUSH REPAST
WWaSEMTIffiB-OF
COUNTY
By an arrangement with the board
of county commissioners the Franklin
Press will publish full accounts of
the county business as transacted by
the board in the future.
It is thought this will awake the
public to more fully understand the
details of county government. It is
said that a full understanding of a
question causes more tolerance and
also helps better judgments to be for
ward. "Our actions are open to the public,
and we think to publish them will
be a Benefit to all concerned," the
commissioners said.
The Press wishes to be of full
service to it's readers. This is brie
more step in getting to the ideal it
has set.

Benedict Club Entertains
Old Maids Club At
Banquet Wednesday
. Probably one of the most interest
ing as well as educational phases of
worvv taken up by Mrs. Macon's 10th
grade English class, was an experi
mental banquet given . Wednesday
evening of last week. It was spon
sored by the Benedict or Old Bache
lor's club, giving their annual enter
tainment in honor of the Old Maid
dub.
The generaf quietness of the class
room was changed to the usual ir
responsible and hilarious banquet
"air."
Food was lacking but humor reigned
supreme.
Mr. Howard Barnard, oldest mem
ber of - the Benedict club, acted as
toast master. His witty remarks arid
clever introductions brought many en
cores from the members of the class.
Mr, John McCollum, a bachelor
always to be, gave the maids a
hearty welcome. Mr. McCollum con
fessed he had tried to get married
several times but always failed and
has decided to live the life of a
happy bachelor until his death.
Miss Lucile Kimsey was due to
give a response to the address of
welcome but due to unfavorable
weather she was not permitted to
be present.
The toast to the purpose of the
Benedict club was also omitted from
the program because its delegate, Mr.
John Lyle Waldroop, was absent from
the entertainment.
Miss Annie Mae Higdon gave a
very interesting talk in response to
the last named toast. The purpose
of the Old Maid's club was toasted
by Miss Helen Patton. Response
was witty, given by Mr. Ned Dow

First Game of Season
Both Teams Put Up Hard
Fight-
Franklin lost her first game of the
football season in a hard fought game
withv Waynesville. Both teams put
up a strong defense, while the of
fense showed signs of weakness. After
the first five minutes of play the
ball was kept near mid field, and
neither team seemed to have the ad
vantage of the other. Both of Waynes
ville's touchdowns came as a result
of fumbles in the Franklin backfield.
Hauser and Wilkie were the stars
for the locals, both on offense and
defense; while Stewart and Sutton
played a nice game. There are a
number of weak spots in the team,
which can partly be worked out by
practice and mainly by developing
new material for these positions.

Mr. Fred Slagle, recently . appointed1
game warden reports that 220 li
censes have been sold from the first
two weeks of the open season. He
says that this exceeds his fondest
expectations and he believes the in
dications are that most hunters will
buy licenses out .of respect to the
law and to save themselves trouble.
He informs the Press that the State

the Needlework Guild of America, its
origin in England forty-five years
ago and gave a brief sketch of the
work done by the Guild ever since'
that time. .
Miss Stryker related several most
touching incidents showing the great
good . accomplished by the Guild in
