Village Garden Club Planting
Flowering Cherry Trees In Community
The Village Garden Club has
adopted as its new project for the
year the planting of flowering
cherry trees in and about the
community. It is the wish of the
garden club to make the town of
Gheiryville a living picture of the
name she bears. Perhaps someday
Cherryville will be spoken of and
, called - “The Town of the Flower
ing Cherry Trees”. It is the fond
hope of the garden club that she
will become such a picturesque
locality.
Twenty-one flowering cherry
trees have already been set out by
the r’ub. Fourteen of these now
line the drive of the City Memori
al Cemetery. The trees placed in
the cemetery are the beautiful
' weepmg flowering cherries. The
i seven church yards in town have
i each been graced by an upright
flowering cherry tree. All the
members of the garden club who
do not already have a flovyering
cherry in their own yards are set
ting out a tree (at their own ex
pense).
If you are interested in this
beautification project of Cherry
ville and would like to have a
flowering cherry (either the weep
ing or the upright) in your yard,
please notify some member of the
garden club. The club will secure
the tree for you at a low cost and
will also set it out.
Let’s make Cherryville a true
picture of the name she bears!
Plant a cherry tree today for a
beautiful town tomorrow!

JUNIOR PLAY PROVES
GREAT SUCCESS

flow crowd in Starnes Auditorium
the Cherryville High School Dra
matics Club, under the direction
of Mrs. Jimmy Putnam and the
sponsorship of the Junior Class,
presented the thrilling •‘Night of
January 16.”
Until the final words of the
judge were spoken and the de
cision of the jury had been reach
ed, the audience was held spell
bound by the actors and actresses
who performed as professionals.
The setting was that of a court
room and the jurors were selected
from the audience through names
dropped in the jury box in the
lobby entrance. The Jury, which
rendered a decision of “NOT
GUILTY”, consisted of Troy Car
penter, Karr Beam, Dale Grabill,
Rev. Leroy Trexler, Mrs. Leroy

was a natural Karen Andre who
was on trial for the murder of
