The last time we ran a
riddle In this corner you folks
almost cleaned us out and just
about broke us from the riddle
habit. However temptation has
overcome us so well pass
this one on for your consid
eration. If your entry has i
the earliest postmark, well <
send you a free subscription. I
A farmer has 9100 and he >
wants to purchase 100 animals
for his farm. Pigs cost 50#
a piece, sheep coat 93.00 a
piece, and cattle cost 910.00
a piece. How many of each
of these can be purchased,
remembering that he warns
an even 100 animals.

When you get through with
this problem, turn to page 3
and take a crack at our
Prlzeword Puzzle. It's worth
9M0 this week and thats a
lot of cabbage. Just think of
all the "goodies" that will
buy.

Some folks will steal any
thing. Kenneth Lovlngood
killed a 46 inch Rattle Snake
the other day (picture will
be in next weeks Scout) and
Bud Penland was golqg to
mourn it. for him. Bud put
the snake on his car hood
and started home. On his
way he decided to have a cup
of coffee and parked his car
in front of the Cherokee Res
taurant. When Bud returned,
he found that someone had cut
the eleven rattlers from the
snakes tail and made off with
them.
-J
evertbcdt needs a
smile ... a smile costs
nothing, but gives much. It
enriches those who receive,
without making poorer those
who give. It takes but a
moment, but the memory of It
sometimes lasts forever.
None Is so rich or so mighty
that he can get along without
it*
A smile creates h*fT'~"
la the home, fosters goodwill
In business, and is the count
ersign of friendship. It brings
rest to the weary, cheer to
the discouraged, sunshine to
the sad and it Is nature's best
antidote for trouble.
Yet it cannot be bought,
begged, borrowed, or stolen,
for it is of no value to any
one until it is given away.
Some people are too tired to
give you a smile. Give them
one of yours, for none needs
a smile so much as he who
has no more to give.

The Forest Service has
really been catching It from
every angle this week. Over
pay-as-you-go picnics and
we realize it isn't our local
peoples fault. However, while
discussing these charges, we
were advised to gather all the
facts. We gathered as many
as we could . . . "still don t
like it" And to top it off,
there are several picnic tables
underwater down at Jack
Rabbit Campground in Clay
County. So if you're a Scuba
Diver you can picnic for free.

Most of you probably know
what a great hunter and fish
erman Blain Stalcup is . . least
we do, cause he told us. But
we've never seen Hide or
'Hare' , Fish nor Fowl that
he's brought In. In fact our
confidence is getting thin
cause Blain and Scout shop
forman Jim Morgan went a
fishing Tuesday evening,
fished out of the same boat
and Jim caught 3 Bass while
Blain came up with wet hooks.

Nelle June Reid passes
these few lines of verse to
us entitled "Ode To ifce
Aspirin" and when you think
about it, there's a lot of truth
in It.
Well 1 remember the good
old days
When aaprln deser
ved much praise.
Why aaprlns one could
safely take
For almost any pain or ache.
They received anxiety ner
vous tension.
Things almost too numerous
to mention.
Lowed the temperatures,
pulse rata too.
All one needed was
aaprlns ' two
?
Perhaps In four hours one
could take two more.
But one waa practically cur
ad with four.
Now antlbotica are all the
"fcasi we doaage for any age.
Evan children know the
meaning of "Shots"
And shy af white uniforms
believe It or not.

Baptist Turn Back Clock,
To Hold Tent Revival
MURPHY- An old fashioned
revival will commence with
the evening worship service of
the F irst Baptist Church here
Sunday, May 9. These ser
vices will continue through
out the week at 7:30 P.M.
The nursery of the church
will open each night at 7:15
P.M. for all children three
years of age and under. It
will remain open until 9:00
P.M.
In addition to the preaching
of the Gospel each night which
will be done by the pastor.
Rev. William J. Thompson,
there will be other special
features of interest and in
spiration.
Rev. Larry Maddoxj>a6tor
of the Reidland Baptist
Church, Paducah, Kentucky,
will be the guest musician,
artist, and magician. Rev.
Maddox is no stranger to
Murphy having been with the
First Baptist Church twice
previously. With a full range
of color, he dramatically ill
ustrates the Christian Gos
pel.
Those of you who have seen
him before will want to see
him again and those of you
who have never witnessed the
inspiration and beauty of this
God-given talent will certainly
want to take advantage of this
opportunity.
There will be a variety of
special music nightly featur
ing the choirs and individuals
both of the First Baptist
Church and elsewhere.
It has been many years
since a tent revival has been
held in Murphy. Eighteen
years ago, Dr. J. C. Canipe
held, as many will remember,
a tent revival meeting down
town at the present site of
die Towns on building adjacent
to die First Baptist Church.
"It is our prayer and de
sired purpose that lasting
effects will be felt on our
town and entire county by these
services," Rev. Thompson
said.
The tent will seat over five
hundred people and will be lo
cated on the site for the
Rev. Bill Thompson
Rev. Lorry Moddox
future First Baptist Church
of Murphy. This location is
on Highway 64 and Bealtown
Road commonly known as the
Evans property.
The public is cordially in
vited to attend each and every
service.
A further note of special
interest for the children will
be the featuring of Rev. Mad
dox as a magician several
night prior to worship service
at 7:15. He will present
"Magic with A Message."

The class met Monday and
Wednesday nights for two and
a half hours for ten weeks
with a total accumulation of
fifty hours. A similar class
on the National Electric Code
met Tuesday and Thursday
nights. This class was for
those who had a basic know
ledge of electricity and were
ready for the code.
The students in Basic Elec
tricity expressed their de
sires that another class in the
Code should be started in the
very near future.
Although It is indefinite at
the present time, plans are
underway to try to get this
additional course started.
L. D. Schuyler, electrical
inspector for Cherokee Coun
ty, instructed the ten weeks
course In basic electricity.
Mr. Schuyler is employed by
The Cherokee Scout as Adv

M
U
ACROSS:
L When we see a person SWAGGER our first impressions
are often wrong (Stagger).- Often exaggerates with Stagger;
the possible causes of staggering are restricted. SWAG
GER can be more deceptive; the conceit associated with a
SWAGGER might well be an attempt to conceal a sense of
inferiority.
5. Women usually seem more given than men to talking with
out PAUSE! (Cause)- PAUSE is better. It only seems they
talk without PAUSE, because men are so anxious to take over
the conversation. As for Cause, men and women share the
habit of idle chatter about equally.
6. His nursing grievances is apt to make a man SOUR (Dour)
SOUR, crabbed or peevish, is more in keeping with human
nature; he nurses diem and doesn't get them off his mind.
This isn't so likely to make him Dour, stern, severe.
7. When people are in a MESS their actions are often lacking
in common sense (Mass).- Not Mass; the clue does not state
they're in a panic or that something untoward is happening.
MESS is more specific; they're in trouble and might well
be incapable of clear thinking.
12. Thoughtless people are often unduly harsh in their judg
ment of a man because he is BOOR (Poor).- Often unduly
harsh goes too far with Poor. There's more likelihood of
the thoughtless being unduly harsh in judging a BOOR, a rude,
ill-mannered person.
13. As a rule, the more ambitious a young actress the more
likely she is to SOAR in her profession (Star).- Star is open
to <y>estion; to Star might well require much more than mere
ambition. The fact that she's ambitious is more likely to
make her SOAR, or reach a high place, in her profession.
14. A patient is usually better able to endure pain if he is
given DOPE by the doctor. (Hope).- Usually exaggerates
with Hope; much depends on the nature and character of the
patient - and of the pain. DOPE makes a reasonable answer;
the main reason for the administration of the drug is to lessen
the pain.
15. Relations with employers are often unhappy when workers
HATE to work very hard (Have).- Often unhappy overstates
if Have is used. Employers and employes alike are often
on the best of terms where the work is hard. When employes
HATE to work ard there's good ground for suspicion that
they're either ltzy or that working conditions are bad. HATE
is the better word.
DOWN:
1.A STREAM of abuse tends to make even the most chivalrous
man show resentment (Scream).- A single Scream of abuse
doesn't even tend to make such a man show resentment, though
he might feel it. STREAM goes much further, and is much
more objectionable.
2. There's usually a surprising amount of debris to be cleared
up after a big GAME (Gale).- Not Gale; the debris is no sur
prise; it's more or less expected. The specific reference to
surprising points to GAME; we don't normally realize how
much debris Is left by the fans in wake of a GAME.
3. A good RETORT usually shows that a boy is alert (Report). -
RETORT, yes; it's a witty reply. A good Report doesn't ne
cessarily indicate alertness; it might be gained by laborious
plodding.
4. True regard for a man can scarcely be expected when
you have merely learned to BEAR him (Fear).- BEAR implies
that you merely tolerate him, so that you're most unlikely to
have true regard for him. But you might well Fear a person
and have regard for him, for his personal qualities, virtues
and straight dealings.
8. An attractively dressed window often induces passers-by
to STOP (Shop).- Of all those who are Induced to STOP, it's
only a proportion of them who actually Shop. Often overstates
with Shop.
9. The more cynical a man, the more likely he is to be SURE
about feminine fickleness (Sore).- His very cynicism makes
him SURE, but It doesn't to the same degree make him Sore,
angry. The more convinced he is about it, the more prepared
he is to see fickleness.
10. The fact that she's late for an appointment seldom makes
a woman RASH (Rush).- Despite what cynical males might
say, seldom exaggerates with Rush. Seldom is better with
RASH; women have a keen sense of values.
11. A trainer is likely to be angry with a stableboy who has not
exercised proper MARE (Care). - The statement is too re
strained with Care. Horses are valuable. The fact that he
exercised the wrong MARE isn't quite such a serious mistake.
