JOY TOASTED CICJUIETTES.
Through the patriotism of the citi
zens of this country thousands of
smoke kits are being distributed to
American soldiers in France. Author
ities agree that men in the trenches
need cigarettes almost as much as
food and munitions.
Doctors,' nurses, and commanding
officers all join in the demand which
has awakened in this country a great
movement to keep our boys supplied
with smokes.
Millions' of the famous LUCKY
STRIKE Cigarettes are "going over"
all the time. There's something
about the idea of the toasted ciga
rette that appeals, to the men who
spend their time in cold, wet trenches
and billets.
Then, too, the real Kentucky Burley
tobacco of the LUCKY STRIKE ciga
rette gives them the solid satisfaction
of a pipe, with a lot less trouble.

With this issue the NEWS if
twenty-three years old. Like sc
many other newspapers the life o:
the NEWS has not been a bed of
roses. It has had many trials, strug
gles and vicissitudes. But in all its
trials it has had many staunch anc
loyal supporters. Probably at nf
time of its entire career has the pa
per been published under such adverse
circumstances as during the past foui
months. By the burning of the pow
er house of the Tryon Electric Ser
vice Co. we have been without powe
most of the time, except at night
thus compelling us to do the majoi
portion of our work then. This
coupled with the" fact that botl
freight .and express shipments
have been very irregular, has caused
us much vexation and worry.
During the year's time that wr
have had the NEWS we have endea
vored to improve the paper and makr
it in reality a NEWSPAPER. Todav
there is not a sheet in Western Norti
Carolina, nor in fact but few in the
State that gives its readers everj
week any where near the -amount oi
local or home news as we .do. Wc
have been compelled to make some
very heavy investments to bring thr
paper up to its present standard, an
we will frankly admit that the re
sults have not been as satisfactory
as we wished, or as we expected
However, we still have faith in Pn11
county; and believe that thp
will come to our assistance and help
us maintain the standard
To those who have so loyally stood
by us, we are under lasting obliga
tions, and hope that you will contin
ue to stand by us, and whenever the
chance occurs, speak a good word in
our Denau.

girl, age twelve, was so patriotic af
tr she had ordered her a pair of

the money before the order could be
filled, stating that she wanted the
money back so that she could buy
Thrift Stamps with it, and she woulc1
