But "He" looks It over with a smirk and a sneer ? "Do you call that thing a hat, my dear?" We have all kinds ? every color and shape. And we never pay more than ? "Four Ninety-Eight." But there's his "Homburg" ? he wears only for dress? And pays at least "Twenty-Five", for, or I miss my guess. Then that "Little old Stetson," bought to wear In-between? Picked up at a bargain ? Just a measley "Fifteen." His colorful little "Straws" with a feather In the band, And his "Panama and Nylon" ? the best In the land. And the little "Soft Velvets" In sizes for all The sturdy "Duck-Back" for hunting In the fall. The long bill "Cap" - in plain, stripes or checks He must have one of each of these - or by heck he'll hollerl And you can't touch a one of these ? For less than a dollar.

It was good to know that there were people who missed it. Off the Cuff re ceived a few telephone calls and was stopped on the street by people wanting to know if the "Scout" had "got rid of me" or If 1 had left. But, the whole trouble was due to the fact that one of our girls was out last week and my "ole" boss had me proofreading and making corrections of the news copy and it left me no time to write this column. Next time It happens, I wish everyone would "gang"up on him so he won't do it again. ? ? ? GOOD IDEA: In the pastfew weeks many people have stopped me asking what can be done to make the Town Square In Murphy more at tractive. Our Town square could have many attractions for the passing visitor, potential resident taxpayer and Industry. I like Murphy but I'd like to see our town square made Into a show place. Many small towns through the country have beautiful squares. Some of them have trees and benches, a fountain, flowers, statues or a tourist Information booth or trailer run by the Chamber of Com merce. Murphy's town square lacks these things. What can be done? What do you as a resident of Murphy think would Improve the square. Give me your views and suggestions and lets see if we can give Murphy a town square with more than Just a red light!
