POLK COUNTY NEWS C. BUSH, Publisher * Phone 99, . I Published every Thursday at Tryon, North Carolina Entered as second-class matter April 28 1915 at the post office at Tryon, North Carolina jnd?ir act of March 3, 1S79. ? ? i * us * Heprfscntative ASSOCIATION j SUBSCRIPTION $2.00 PER YEAR BETTER NOT SAY fT! Bad news travels faster than good news. There is an old saying, "No news is good news." Let a man be con verted ai a church service and there is not much of a stir, but let a resident be convicted of some crime and the news leaps by word of mouth from one end of the community to the other. How thoughtlessly unkind we sometimes are when neighbors of our suffer misfortune Troubles are bound to come to us all in some shape or form and what we say about our friends and acquaintances to day may apply to us tomorrow. News is no respector of per sons. j We are prone to consider | the ways of other not our ways j when we should be watching j our own step. What folks say j of one another sometimes hurts ! more than anything they ! ? could have done. News, either good or bad, grows and be , comes exaggerated and distort ed with pedding. When news is good it makes no material ! difference how it is exaggerat ed or distorted ? it can never do anyone positive harm'. But i bad news, given wings, may j bring sorrow and ruin upon | p'eople who certainly are not de- j serving pf a punishment be- j yond the penalty of their mis- 1 take. More charity for others will make charity for ourselves and we will gradually come to take .a keener delight in reporting something, good of some per son than something bad. Good is constructive, bad is destruc tive. Just before you are about to let out a bit of "bad news/' stop and think a moment. See if you can't think of something I good to say in place of it. The ! chances are ten to one that you j } can and that you will. o FARM BUREAUS j In a spirit for ourselves and an attitude of genuine satis faction farmers and business men throughout the country are expressing their appreciation | . of the work done by Farm Bureaus wherever these organ ization have been established. One act alone that Farm | Bureaus have been instrumen tal in putting over is worthy j of their organization ? the j forming of cooperative market- : , ing associations. In starting soil building programs in every county. Farm Bureaus are also doing a great constructive work of much value to every farmer. Membership in the Farm Bureau being a family proposition, one can expect some real accomplishments along specialized lines such as better preparation, more thorough cultivation, more live stock and legislation favorable to the furtherance of agricul ture and its needs. It is well known that those j who are not merpbers of the j i Farm Bureau have been bene fited by it. They have not I I benefited to the extent of the members but as in every other case the co-operative associa tion has raised the price level and the outsider profited there by. They have received bet ter grades, lower interest rates oq money borrowed, and nearer the market price for their pro ducts. To these things the thousands of members will testify. The good done by the Farm Bureaus is only a drop in the bucket to what remains for them to do and what they will do. The farmer is soon to come into his own. Organiz ation is the force which will place him there. The business | man is not the farmer's enemy i for the farmer must prosper in order that the business man may make money. It's a gei i together proposition and as- ! jsociation means friendship and | understanding, two mighty strong factors in themselves. A better era is just ahead. But every farmer must do his part to reap the full benefits. o NOTICE OF SALE. Pursuant to the power of sale contained in that certain mortage deed executed by W . W.
