Married, Sunday December 29th, at the home of

On Sunday night before Christmas the exercises at the
Methodist Church by the Sunday School were very enjoyable, after which a bag of
candy, nuts, etc., was given each scholar. N.A. Zimmerman’s class of little
girls received an extra remembrance from their teacher.
On Christmas morning at 10 o’clock little James Lucius
Smathers Jr. entertained very graciously about 20 of his big and little friends
at a Christmas tree party. A sweet spirit of give as well as receive ruled
among the happy group and altogether the occasion was enjoyable.
We have only this apology to offer this week. It is a hard
matter to get all the locals during the holidays as there are so many comers
and goers, and we are sure that some have been omitted because we have been
kept indoors since Christmas day with a severe case of grip and could not get
out.
The Christmas tree at the Baptist Church on Christmas eve
night was largely attended and a nice program carried out. There were many
pretty and valuable presents and each Sunday School student received a bag of
candy, nuts, fruit, etc. Old Santa was present in full costume and made quite
an impression on the children.
So far the weather was concerned, Christmas day was an ideal
one—clear, cold and sunshiny. But many wished for snow. The day passed off
pleasantly and quietly. Everyone seemed to enjoy the occasion. All the stores,
banks and offices were closed, and the men remained at home with their
families. May the growing idea of a sane Christmas continue.
On account of the large increase in business during the
holidays, the Candler Department Store had to employ a floor walker and a force
of 14 salesmen. Mr. Winslow Davidson made an ideal floor walker. Murphy and
Cherokee county feel proud of the distinction of having the largest department
store west f the Blue Ridge and one than ranks with the best in the state.
The splendid entertainment provided by the Beulah Buck
Quartet on Christmas night at the auditorium was one of the best ever given
here under the auspices of the local lyceum committee. The large audience
showed their appreciation by hearty applause, and each number on the program
called forth an encore. Such high-class entertainments as this will make our
lyceum course deservedly popular and our crowded columns this week prevents a
more extended notice.
Mr. and Mrs. J.L. Smathers had as their guest during
Christmas week Mr. P.T. Harrington of Boston, a close friend and present
landlord to their daughters, who are studying this winter at that city. Mr.
Harrington was introduced to a great many of our people and proved to be a
very interesting and cultured gentleman, showing hearty appreciation of his
cordial entertainment while in Murphy. Mr. Harrington brings very flattering
reports from all the southern music pupils in the classic city and says our
Murphy girls are pleasing their tutors and friends tremendously.
