The Editor:
Please renew my sub-;
scrlptlon to The Scout
I visited Murphy this sum
mer but did not have ctv#
pleasure of meeting you.
The Scout, in my estimation
has made great progress In
the last SO years.
I used to bring sweet
potatoes and turnips to pay
our Scout bill when Uncle
Bllley Meroney owned it arid
Don Towns was the type setter.
While in N. C. I attended
the Clay County Centennial, In
Hayesville.
My first school teacher was
J. V. A. Moore and to my
knowledge he is still alive.
So keep the Peachtree and
Clay County news coming.
Yours truly,
