FOOTBALL FRIDAY
IN MARSHALL
MARS HILL AND WAYNESVILLE
TO USE MARSHALL AS
BATTLEGROUND
While it had not been ful'.y decid
ed it seems quite probable that Mar

nnt.eiited football game between
Waynesville and Mars Hill next Fri-
dav. October 3rd. Plans are on foot
to make Marshall a regular football
grid for all of Mars Hill's home play
ed games. Waynesville High School
has made quite a record in football,
as has the Mars Hill High Schbbl
team, and the contest between the
two schools is expected to be inter

buyers and handle tobacco in large

The entertainment given at the 4
school auditorium last Friday eve- K
ning for the benefit of the Parent
Teacher Association, was a wonder-
ful success. The v, saying 4that ( . "A
prophet is not t without ' honor save
in his own country;" does not seem
to apply to Ben Frisby. i Those who :
have been entertained by his magic
and ventriloquism are anxious to. see
and to hear him. again.. It is a flat- ;
tering compliment for a local man
to have an audience as large as that
which witnessed Mr. Frisby's show.
Despite the fact that there were
many children in the, audience the
gross receipts from the entertainment
amounted to $164.90. Several new
features were used in this entertain
ment which had not been used here-,
tofore. However, some of his, old
tricks were equally as good as his
new. How well the audience appre- ,
oiated -the performance was evidenc
ed by the applause he recelvei.!B?j
fore the perf ortnance and ibetween;
acts the audience was entertawed by s
the Hunter Brothers Stringed, Band.
Mr. -Frisby's next entertainment, will:
be given at the- Spring Creek;school ,
