TRYON WALKABOUTS

iTith something' of the anxiety of
household during the critical lll-
of an important member, Tryon
watched the outcome of the Bilt-
e church's call of Mr.! Bowne to
parish. In spite of its regret
community can but respect the
jscientious desire for the largest
Isicle held of usefulness an lnnu
h which determined his 'choice. U
s a mistake it is a mistake o?
gment not of motive, i For the

e services, pointed plainly to his

p0LK COUNTY RED CROSS.
Tryon is well used to new comers,
but Mr. Bowne as a new goner is a
sensation.
The recent robbery gf one of Try
m's principal stores started some
rvely talkabouts; but the robbing the
Episcopal church of its rector starts
;hem too and puts them a lap ahead.
"When you Tryon fellows aren't
ragging of your climate or scenery,"
;aid the disgruntled visitor, withchat
sering teeth the last cold day, "You're
talking about your quiet town. Why,
;he first nighf I struck your town,
.vhen a howling dog wasn't keeping
ne awake a cat fight did." "O yes,"
aid the Moriest Tryonitc, "that's
where we're ahead of other places,
ihat happens just one night everj
ear at the annual animal convention
.vhen Tryon dogs and cats get that
sort of thing out of their system.
You havn't heard it since have you?"'
:'No," said the visitor, "but I havn't
been here a week yet." "There's a
man over there," said the M. T.,
pointing, "Who'll tell ydu he doesn't
hear it for months at a time."
Though the visitor hailed him he
walked on without the slightest at
tention. However he would have
said that the M. T. was right. He
hadn't heard the cats and dogs or any
other noise not only for months, but
for years at a time.
A Tryori kid recently put on his
Indian outfit and whooped her up
Comanche style all over the neigh
borhood. In bragging of his brave
deeds, in boy like Indian fashion, he
was most roysterously happy over
having scared a little girl comrade
nearly to death. Is there not in all
of us a lurking- Hun, Indian or other
savage that delights in f rightfulness ?
With advancing years we either out
grow it or. learn that it pays to hide
it. The Indians were pretty much
exterminated; the residue more or
less civilized. That's what the civili
zed world is trying to do to the Hun.
Goirrg by the blacksmith's shop
lately, the two or three taps he gave
the anvil after pounding the.hot iron,
reminded me that I had asked a doz
en or more smiths why they did it.
"Always done it "The boss taught
ne to," were about the only answers
I ever got. But a slight student-like
fellow, too small and weak to lift a
hammer much less wield one overhear
ing me said the hammers originally
were much rougher than they are
now, and the scales from the hot iron
would stick to the hammer and had to
be knocked off by the little taps on
the anvil. Who knows if he was
right?
In one week the uncle of a Lan
drum farhily was killed by a train.,
one son dragged to death, another
severely injured by a mule. Had
they been at the front it is doubtful
if two of them would have been kill
ed and one injured by the casualties
of battle, unless they had been fight
ing on the German side. The mule's
character, by the way, has its tragk
as well as its comic side.
A gentleman and lady were recent
ly trying to crocs an East Hill street
just after a rain. A bystander final
ly sung out to the gentleman, "Take
off your overcoat and spread it down
Sir Walter Raleigh and-Queen Eliza
beth fashion." "Raleigh would never
have done it "in this mud," said the
gentleman. "All the quicker," said
the bystander, "for his cloak was red
and the mud wouldn't show."
