Since I live on Joe Brown Highway and cross Hanging Dog Creek every time I go into Murphy, I have paid attention to the idea that the skirmish at Hanging Dog Creek was one of the last battles fought during the Civil War, after General Lee had already surrendered.

Today, Rob Neufeld wrote an article in the Asheville Citizen-Times newspaper:

Skirmish at Hanging Dog Creek was one of Civil War’s last

It’s a short article, but interesting.

It’s time to get ready to go back to school and college and the North Carolina legislature has done something to make it a little easier for many families in the state.

State law provides an exemption for some items of tangible personal property sold this weekend, Friday August 7 through Sunday August 9.

Items that are exempt from sales tax include:

* Clothing, footwear, and school supplies of $100 or less per item.

* School instructional materials of $300 or less per item.

* Sports and recreation equipment of $50 or less per item.

* Computers of $3,500 or less per item.

* Computer supplies of $250 or less per item.

Not exempt from sales tax this weekend are clothing accessories, jewelry, cosmetics, protective equipment, wallets, furniture, items used in a trade or business, and rentals.

You can learn more on the North Carolina Department of Revenue page for Sales Tax Holiday. There are links to a list of items that are exempt, a list of frequently asked questions, and a Sales and Use Tax Technical Bulletin.

Many local retailers will be taking advantage of both the local sales tax holiday weekend as well as many back to school specials.

Heather Rice, owner of Rumors Clothing, said, “There will be savings throughout Rumors Clothing. Come out and save big this weekend. 20% to 50% off everything in the store.”

Rumors Clothing is located in Brothers Landing, six miles west of Murphy, NC.
