The interior is also being treated to a coat of white paint. When completed it will be one of the handsomest store rooms in this sec tion. One of the busiest individuals in Trvon just now is Town . Manager Blake. With the improved water works system, road working and all the other things to look after gives him plenty to do. But he is the fel low who knows how to handle the job. The. high price of wood is driving manv to the use of oil cooking stoves One agreeing to deliver it, which he failed to do. When asked about it, he ex plained: "Why another feller who lived nearer' n you offered me 50 cents more, and of course I had to let him have it." Mr. Geo. R.

Last week was a tough one for the Dean family, of Spartanburg, occu pying the Bell house. Young Mr Dean hiked from Landrum on the hot test day of the week and was so had. ly overcome by the heat that on his arrival nere he was badly dazedand almost semi-conscious. On Sunday Mrs. Dean slipped in the bath tub and barely escaped a fracture of the riDs. iney nave the sympathy of tneir mends and neighbors, and luck ily are improving. Postmaster Steams requests that when writing to a soldier in France that you address the letter with pen and ink and never with a lead pencil. Letters come into the Tryon post office that are almost impossible to read, and by the time they reach New York they cannot be read. Therefore some are never delivered, while others are otten delayed. Also be sure to put the full number of the regiment to wnicn tne soldier is attached. Tryon is to have day electric cur rent again. Beginning oh thp first day of September the local company will secure current from the Blue T " 1 1 T i t iuage people, it is sure good news to users of j)ower in this section. We have not learned whether the dam over Green river is far enough along to generate current, or whether the Blue Ridge company will secure tern porary "juice" from the Southern Power Company at Spartanburg. Mr. W. H. Steams has retired from the hotel business. It will be with genuine regret that many winter vis itors to Tryon will learn of this de cision. Mr. Stearns has been ac tively engaged in the hotel business since 1895, with but one break during that time, of three years. He enter tained many tourists while proprietor of the old Mimosa, and this hotel was well and favorably known over a wide section of the country. He has closed Pine Hill and it is not yet known whether it will be operated next sea son or not. Tryonites are often told by Ashe villians that no climatic mishaps ever come to that favored city. But Sun day an out-and-out cloud burst with much thunder and lightning, tore up things, flooded cellars and washed away pavements and sidewalks. In spite of the downpour a house burned to the ground, the firemen having to wade up to their knees to get at it, and were then unable to save it. There can be no doubt about this, for the Asheville papers actually admit it. It's only a specimen of what their "ideal climate" can do when it starts in to do anything. The storm of Saturday afternoon was brighter and louder than Tryon often knows. The unterrined were umch delisrhted with it or at least they greatly admired the display of ORGANIZATION FOR WR I The Patriotic League, Composed ot Girlt, to be Organ ized in Tryon.

They have realized that individual effort is almost lost, in the neatness of the task to. be accomplished. Organiza tions of all kinds have been formed to concentrate this effort into a great power. Among the girls, even the young girls, the Patriotic League has become a great factor not only in the inspiration of the great need of pa triotism at this time, but in carrying out a real planned program of war activities. In almost every city of our country the Patriotic League has accomplish ed an astonishing amount of efficient war work, and the girls themselves, have set the high standard of charac ter, desired at all times necessary now by living up to the pledge. "I will express my partiotism by doing better than ever before what ever work I have to do; by rendering whatever special service I can to my community and countrv: bv li to the highest standards of character and honor, and helping others to do the same." The girls of Tryon and Lynn are organizing their Patriotic League. On Saturday night at 8:30, in the Tryon school house, they will have the first meeting of the League. Every girl is urged to come, be cause it is in the heart of each one to do all in her power for her country, andt his is her opportunity. But the program will be of such in terest that no one, old or young, can anora to miss it. Dr. Ayers, of the.Y. M. C. A. unit in Camp Wadsworth, will give a pa triotic address. Those who have heard him can not adequately express cneir entnusiasm lor his stirring mes sage. the gnis will give a pageant. "The Heroines of History." JNo patriotic meeting is complete without community singinsr. so everv one will have his share in making the evening a success. Because the League must buv ma terials to make war orphan garments and other supplies, an admission must be charged adults 25 cents; children, 10 cents. Everyone is expected Pie .se come. W. S. S.

Fortunately there were no casualties and little damage. A tree near Mrs. Leconte s was split m two and her frightened horse broke out of the stable and took to the road, borne a letter from his son, Charlie, stating hens and chickens had the hysterics, that he is at a Dort of embarkation awaiting transportation to France: He was pleased to learn that he had a cousin in the same branch of service as ho, and hunted him up. That' will mean the shortening of many long days after they arrive "over there. County Food Administrator, F.

So far, he ys. the neonle erenerallv show a (li.-pxMtion to want to do right. in the time of Job the trust ot a hypocrite was as weak as' a spider's o; but the spider webs just now in this vicinity are more reliable.

Pat Harrison. the bright, patriotic Congressman from the Gulf Coast district defeated both Vardaman and Noel in the first primary. Vardaman got what was coming to him. He has been akicker and opponent of almost every war measure coming before the United States Senate. He was bitterly op posed to the United States declaring war against Germany. The people of the United States are in no mood to put up with the foolishness of such men. There are several others doom ed to defeat when their term expires.
