Cynthia Niles
Is Shocked
At Gas Bill
Cynthia Niles, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Ed Niles of
Marshall, was justifiably
"shocked" recently and with
good cause.
Miss Niles, a student at
Auburn University, Auburn,
Ala., and a classmate shared
rooms in a trailer near the
university and the two girls
were getting along fine until
they received a bill from the
natural gas company.
Opening the envelope con
taining the bill, you can
imagine their surprise when
they read the following:
Balance forward, $9.99; gas
charges (for one month),
$8,079.32; other charges, $.00;
Tax, $403.97, Total due,
$8,499.58.
After looking wild at each
other, they knew that a vast
mistake had been made and
after several minutes of
concern, they quit worrying
and started laughing about the
one-month bill. They told
other friends about their
"indebtedness" and they, too,
chipped in to help defray the
$8,499.58. Result: about 58
cents.
Anyway, the company was
notified of the bill (and
mistake) and hopefully will
make an adjustment ? a large
adjustment.
Contradiction
It's amazing how many
people acknowledge "The
Lord is my Shepherd," and
then try and pull the wool
over His eyes.
Please accept our linear*
thanks for your valued
friendship and patronage.

Madison Basketball Summary
For Last Week; Girls Win First
MITCHELL GAME
(DM. 14)
BOYS GAME
MITCHELL 59-58
Mitchell edged the Madison
Patriots by the closest of
margins in a game that was
close from the start, 59-58, at
Bakersville Tuesday night of
last week.
The First half of the game
was marked with a fast pac^
and free substitutions. Both
teams used a pressing defense
for much of the time, but
neither team's press was very
effective. Madison fell behind
AO at the onset, but battled
back to stay close throughout
the half. The Patriots came
within one point of the
Mountaineers about mid-way
through the second quarter,
however, they were unable to
take the lead and trailed at
halftime 27-24.
The Patriots came out
playing very aggressively in
the third quarter, and took the
lead with 3:47 left in the period.
That lead was short lived,
though, as the Patriots' hot
shooting suddenly went pold,
and the Mountaineers pulled
back ahead 46-42 at the end of
three quarters.
Madison had many op
portunities to take the lead in
the final eight minutes, but
they never did. The decisive
factor was the Patriot's
horrendous foul shooting.
Madison was unable to hit their
foul shots while Mitchell sank
about 70 percent of theirs
during the Final quarter. Still
the Patriots hung on as the
Mountaineers went into a four
cornered flop with over four
minutes to go. Joe Walker
missed a jump shot from the
top of the key with twelve
seconds to go and Mitchell
grabbed the rebound as they
went on to win.
Joe walker was the game's
leading scorer with II points,
while Scotty Proffitt and
Jimmy Davis had 10 points
apiece for the Patriots. Bobby
Thompson scored 15 points for
the Mountaineers.

GIRLS GAME
MITCHELL 43-32
Madison's girls were in a
tight game with the Moun
taineers until the fourth
quarter, when foul trouble took
them out of the game. The
contest was marred by fouls
and poor play from both sides.
Mitchell rode the shooting of
Donna Bird for most of the first
two quarters. The tall forward
was unstoppable until she
completely lost her shooting
touch about halfway through
the second quarter. The
Patriots stayed close by taking
advantage of Mitchell's
mistakes to trail 20-18 at
halftime.
Madison was unable to crack
the Mountaineers' two-point
lead throughout most of the
third quarter, but finally
tightened the score to 25-24 at
the end of the period. However,
the Patriots' fate was
inevitable when Carlene
Gunter fouled out with 4:51 to
go in the fourth quarter,
leaving three of her team
mates in the game with four
fouls apiece. The girls had to
play ultra-conservative
throughout the rest of the
game to avoid fouling out.
Mitchell pulled away to win 43
32.
Madison was paced by
Peggy Rice's 9 points as Janet
Reed scored 7 for the losing
Patriots. Donna Bird scored 22
points for the Mountaineers.

BOYS GAME
(Dec. 17)
EAST HENDERSON IMI
East Henderson out-shot,
out-rebounded, and simply
out-played the Madison
Patriots on their way to an
easy victory Friday night on
the Eagles home court. The
game marked the Patriots
sixth loss in a row this season.
Both teams opened the game
with a press; however, the
Eagles' press was by far the
most effective. Madison's
offense was bad but their
defense was worse. The
Patriots hit only 5 of 21 shots
from the field in the first half
for a meager 24 percent
shooting average. The Eagles
continued to romp away and
led at halftime, 42-20.
The Patriots opened the
second half by scoring the first
eight points. Soon the Eagles
were back in control as they
pulled ahead 56-32 at the end of
the third quarter. Play became
ragged in the fourth quarter as
both teams seemed to be
wanting to just get the game
over with.
Todd McCormick did not
start, but still led Madison
scorers with 14 points. Ronnie
Burrell led all scorers with 15
points for the East Henderson
Eagles.
