TriVM 'VV&m A 'DENTIST. I Hno rtf Trvon's Drosrressive ladies r tnet the editor on the street last Tuesday morning, and , said, "While you are howling for the many-, things Tryon needs, don't forget to hVjwIfor a dentist.";. . -y- Sk'n-. i Now we don't remember the time when we ever howled FOR a dentist, but we can remember when we howled AGAINST a dentist. But in the case of the lady's -request we want any dentist upon whose eyes these lines may fall, to take this as a howl FOR a dentist. Seriously, Try on is badly in need of the services of a first-class dentist. If there be one who could arrange to make regular periodical visits to Tryon he would find it would pay him handsomely. Not a day passes but that some Try onite or visitor does not have to leave town to secure the services of a den tist. . ; ' . ' : Good lady, we have howled. O ' POSTOFFICE BUILDING FOR TRYON. Congressman Weaver has introduc ed a bill in Congress asking for 'the appropriation of . $15,000 for a Post office building for Tryon, and he tells Postmaster Stearns that there is good chance for the bill passing. The postoffice department must have an idea that it will, for it telegraped Postmaster Stearns ,to ascertain the approximate cost of. a site. ; ' After looking the v field over", Mr. Stearns decided that the . ideal loca tion would 'be the lot upon which the fountain Industries building is locat ed. We agree with his selection. It is ideally situated, and easy of access for all parts of the town. A building there would be an ornament to Tryon. It would be a good idea for every person to write Congressman Weaver and urge the passage of the measure, and no time is to be lost, as this ses sion of Congress will soon be over4 BOY SCOUTS' SERVICE. J The unfortunate weather conditions of last Sunday prevented many from attending Holy Cross Episcopal church, and the ninth anniversary service of the Boy Scouts at which the Kev. J. H. Griffith preached an excel lent sermon. As it was, .the church , was full, and the service heartily ap- predated. " - Troops of Boy and Girl Scouts were "present. Just before the sermon they tsang the Scouts March and Troop One t! of Tryon gave the scout oath impres- - sively. ' ' Mr.' Griffith took "David" as his - subject, using David and Goliath re spectively as . types of the boastful bully and courageous, God-fearing man, and stressing the strong points of scout law. , ' If all the services for, Boy Scouts of America were as hearfilyenj oyed and as strong in . their impress as this service in Tryon, February ninth may well be looked upon throughout RECEPTION AT THE PUBLIC school . ; The teachers and pupils of the pub lic school will be glad to have the parents .nd friends of the school pay them a visit on Friday, at two-thirty o clock. They are anxious to show their ap preciation of all that has been done for the improvement of the school. The meeting will be in the newly dec orated auditorium, though all the rooms will be open for inspection. A nrize of one, dollar has? been of fered for the bes? letter written by a pupil describing the improvements al ready accomplished, anq suggestim others. The letters will not be sign ed, but the teachers will number them and the best will be read at the re ception; ihe children .will sing the songs they they. already know but they will f not have time to give any of the new ones in which Miss Luchanan is drilling5- them. v ' .'' 'Miss Moore, who is a very accom plished "biid lady' has been visiting the rooms and teachng the children the notes of varous birds, and en couraging them to become out of door nature students. It was a pleasant sight to see the bright faces, especially of the boys, as Miss Moore developed the musical notes by writing them on the board and then singing them. The unusual cold has interfered with the out door work at the scnool, but the rose hedge will- be planted soon, the spireas arranged jn a group, and some teeters and other aids - to play installed in the school yard. "HOW DRY I AM." That old $ong is becoming very popular once more in this section. Last Saturday it could be heard first as a solo,, later in duets, and before nightfall in one grand chorus, v and "All on account of Eliza." ' The day before thirty kegs, con taining one hundred and thirty dozen bottles of Elixir of Hops was unioaa ed at the Tryon station. It develops that none of these kegs . were for Tryonites, or for that matter resi dents of North Carolina. .But were intended for residents of Our neigh boring state of South Carolina. Thejr were for medicinal purposes, of course. We've always heard that South Carolina was not noted "as a health resort, and to be told that there were thirty citizens in one vicin ity that just simply had to have beer or else die, we could hardly believe. In fact it is so unhealthy in South Carolina that these parties have come to Tryon where they can get plenty of good water and mountain atmosphere. Of course while here" it is so conven ient to load up on beer and go back to South Carolina. At least that is the way they had it doped out. But Sta tion Acent Steelman is a very hard hearted man, and notified these , par ties that they would have to come iinerlvVand each man 1 be identified and claim Vii a l if sftvpr. and that they must also have trite prescription of a reputable physician. .

Powell and Miss Anna L. Powell of New York City, who came from Asheville to Tryon two months ago, expecting to remain for a week, are enjoying our climate so thoroughly that they now hope to stay until May 1st. The Misses Pow ell are guests at Pine Hill Hotel. Mr. David L. Goodwillie and fam ily of Chicago have enjoyed Tryon's excellent climate for the past month. They have taken one of the Pine HiH Cottages for the season. Mr. Good willie recently returned to Chicago to look, after some business matters, but expects to rejoin his family here soon. - Mrs.' J. Foster Townsend, of Proctorr Vermont, a daughter of -Mr. and Mrs; Goodwillie, is visiting 'them. They also have as heir guest Mrs. Frank A. Sturtevant, of Oak Park Illnois. . ; Mrs. Mary Wells Noyes and daugh ter, of Chicago and Hinsdale, Illinois, are guests at Pine Hill. Mrs. Noyes' son, Hamilton, is attending the Ashe ville School for boys. She finds Tryon so convenient to Asheville that she frequently goes to pay her son a vis it. Mr. J. M. Schultz, the well known lumberman of Chicago, is a guest at Pine Hill. He expects to remain for a month and says he is much pleased with the scenery here and especially with the walks through the hills and valleys.

Mrs. Greene experts to spend about a month at Pine Hill. THE SCHOOL QUESTION. At the meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, Tuesday night, Miss Em ma McFarland resigned as Secretary Treasurer, and Mr. W; F. Little .was sleeted to "succeed her. A bill drawn by Mr. Walter Jones for the committee to investi gate and adopt means to improve our school system, was read and upon motion adopted by the membership present, and the committee was instructed to forward same to Raleigh to be intro duced and passed at this terni of the legislature. . ' Under the provisions of this bill an additional tax of 50 cents upon each $100 worth of taxable property, and a poll of $1.50 is proposed; also a re duction in the number of school trus r.ees to three instead of five as .at present; a lengthening of the school L i- " 4-1, i-i-anA rt-P QlfrVf term w nine uiuuiua vi ciuk, also a specified sum to be set aside as a sinking fund to redeem the present . i ii ?n ii outstanding ponds wnicn win mature in ten vears.. - - Upon discussion it was ascertained that "at nresent we have not sufficient number of teachers to give iryon tne Vinrfnf school we desire.. " A committee composed of Miss Beatson. Mr. F.

Wp honed to be able to publish the bill in this issue of the NEWS but a copy has not yet been presented us f or that purpose. ' : - o- - . MR. STRONG'S ADDRRESS.; Those who attended the meeting of the Chamber of Commerce at the school house Tuesday night, certainly felt repaid for their trouble in doing so. Mr. Strong took up Tryon, and tAld us how it looked to an outsider; what impressions it made; wliat some of our defects were, and how. they rtnlH be overcome. : We tnok famous Riverside, Califor- nii a pattern; told how that littk POLK OOU1TTY Tryon, North Carolina cent interest, compounded : quarterly.

LITTLE, Cash. city had made an international repu tation, and what the citizens were do ing to constantly keep Riverside be fore the public. He- offered' several suggestions as to the manner in which Tryon could be beautified and how to properly advertise the town and tell the tourist what we had' to offer. He told us that outside of a limited number our town's induce ments were practically unknown, but that we had as many if not more nat ural advantages than any resort town he had ever visited. He told how a systematic order of building should be adopted; one that would haiynonize with the beautiful green, brown and red shades of our forest and mountains: also that the piles of rubbish and dirt on unused lots should be removed and the lots made beauty spots. He advised the covering of all unsightly buildings with English ivy which grows so pro fusely in this section. One of the many advertising stunts he advocated was to have quantities oi trailing amutus gatnerea during its blossoming period, made into smai sprigs, affixed to a card with propr verse or motto regarding Tryon, and given to every passenger oh the through trains passing Tryon destin ed for more southerly points. Also deprecated the fact that we had no suitable post cards howmg lryon scenery and beauty spots to be mailed back to friends up north. That these cards should be printed in huge 5 quan tities and kept on hand by all mercan tile establishments, hotels and board ing houses for free distribution to their guests. He made many recom mendations that could be very easily and profitably adopted by our Cham ber of Commerce and, Tryon boosters. NEW STORE FOR SALUDA One of the greatest draw-backs to farmers in Polk county has been the lack of home markets. It makes no difference how much of any commod ity they may raise, in the past they have been compelled to haul' their stuff great distances in order to find a ready market. The towns in Polk county as soon as they buy enough to fill their own immediate needs refuse to buy any surplus. ' At last a few public spirited men in our neighboring enterprising little town ot baluda nave Tealized the sit uation, and are determined to over come it. A new, general stora will be opened in the old Saluda Pharma cy building, about April 1st. This store will attempt to fill a long felt want in Saluda by selling their goods as low as good goods can be sold; to provide a market for all sur plus farm products, on a cash or trade basis, as the producer desires. Thi3 is done in orderx to encourage the far mer to raise better and larger crops, and assist him in marketing same. 'i - The name of the new store will be The Bailey-Staton Store Incorporated The gentlemen taking active manage ment are no strangers to the people of Saluda, both being well and favor ably known. Mr J Rufus B. Staton will be active manager, and with the able assistance - of Mr. P. H. Bailey, will make a good strong team. . You can rest assured of fair treatment and a square deal by these gentlemen. As the case, with all up-to-date es tablishments now-a-days, cash will be the. basis of the new store. This will enable the .firm to sell goods at a little less than usual. : , In addition to a general stock, a first-class stock of fresh and smoked meats, fish and oysters in season will be handled. These will be shown in a screened, sanitary shop. . . Mr. P. H. Bailey leaves for New York. Saturday where he goes not on ly to purchase dry goods and notions, but to study carefully ; the ' eastern styles, displays and to secure- brand new ideas which will be, wherever practicable, applied to - Saluda " and Polk county. These gentlemen are not going to be satisfied with running a store in the good old-fashioned way, but intend running -it in the modern way, and .where the dollar will secure a fair return in exchange in merchan dise. - ' , Watch the columns of the NEWS for the,ir opening announcement. , UHXTtk TIlYOil.
