Mr.l J. C. Davis, of Green's Creek
'township attended the bee raisers
neeting in Tryon last Monday, and
.while here favored the NEWS with a
call, leaving an order for job printing
las well as renewing his subscription
ffof another year. Mr. Davis is en
gaged in the raising of queen bees,
''and has a very enviable reputation
" in that line, as he prides himself on
the quality of his strain of queen bees
fand annually expends quite a lot of
'money to further improve it.
' Honors are thrust upon some peo-
. f?ple, and such is the case with Mr. W.
, hF. Little, County Chairman of the
:Third Liberty Loan Committee.
Along with every other good gift
. :?icomes that of a fine son, born last
Friday afternoon. James Little, the
V youngest heir of Mr. and Mrs. W.
" IF. Little starts out in life in good
: shape, as he became a purchaser of
' "a Third Liberty Bond at the tender
age of four hours. We believe this
will prove to be the youngest Bond
purchaser in Western North Caro-
Hina, thus scoring one more victory
-'for Tryon enterprise and grit.
, - The Third Liberty Loan Committee
'(-"is under lasting obligations to -the
. 4various rural mail carriers who have !
distributed the extra copies of the
lNEWS along their routes during the
vpast four weeks. No other n eans
Ircould be devised whereby so many
people could be reached as by placing
i; a copy of your county paper in your
?hands at that time. You have been
-of great help to the committee and
Raided in no small way in placing
iPolk county in the list of 100 per
cent counties. It has been an act of
'"loyalty and patriotism, and we assure
, you has been fully appreciated.
. "Right here," said a prominent cit
uzen near the postoffice, "you can see
-almost any time during the day more
or less than a dozen able bodied col
x ored men loafing by the hour. I have
plenty of work on my place for them.
7! at 20 cents an hour, but I can't get
i one of them to tackle. As long as
; their women are out at work and
housekeepers allow them to take
:home food for these loafers they will
; keep on loafing and jobs will go a-
begging. Starving them is the only
-. way to stop it." "Their names ought
to be taken and published," said a
Tryon woman who forbids the looting
of food from her pantry.

SCHOOL ENTERTAINMENT.
Did you attend the school enter
;ainment Friday night? Well if you
iidn't somebody did, for the house
vas well filled, and those present ful
y enjoyed the operetta. The acting
and singing of the children, 60 in
lumber, showed that many, -many
days of, hard work had been expended
n drilling the little folks. But to the
ne who did it, we wish to compliment
hem upon the grand results of their
abor . We are informed that the
najor portion of the credit is due
Miss Buchanan. True to all Ameri
can womanhood, this lady who has a
brother doing service for Uncle Sam
in France desired to show her appre
ciotion to the Red Cross work, and
used this method, the proceeds going
to that purpose.
At the close of the entertainment
the meeting was turned into a-Liber-;y
Loan meeting. Talks were made
oy Dr. Taft and Lieut. Copeland, at
the close of which County Chairman
Little informed the crowd that Tryon
acked ?$2,200 of doubling her quota,
xnd asked for volunteer subscrip
;ions to do that. Responses came
;o thick and fast that Mr. Little was
mableto keep up with them. In
ess than three minutes the amount
iad been subscribed, and Tryon was
entitled to a star on her Honor Flag,
probably being the first town in
Western North Carolina to earn it, as
she 'was the first to earn the Honor
Flag,
