TRYON IS YOUR TOWN
Make me what you will?
I shall reflect you as clearly as
a mirror throws back a candle
beam. _
If I am pleasing to the eye ot
the stranger within my gates;
if I am such a sight as, having
seen me, he will remember me
all his days as a thing of
beautv, the credit is yours. # .
Ambition and opportunity
call some of my sons and
daughters to high tasks and
mighty j privileges, tb, my
greater honor and to my good
repute in far places, but it is
not chiefly these who are my
strength. My strength is in
those who remain, wno are con
tent with what I can offer them
and with what they can offer
me. It was the greatest of all
Romans who said: ''Better be
first in a little Iberian village
than be second in Rome."
I am more than wood, brick
and stone, more even than flesh
and blood ? I am the composite
soil of all who call me Home.
I am your town. ? Selected.

In a communication received j
from Division Passenger Agent
Wood, in Asheyille, he makes j
the statement that the Shrin- |
ersare rather dilatory in secur- j
ing their accommodations to
Washington in special Pullman
cars leaving Asheville on June
4th, which^ cars are to be used
for sleeping purposes while in
Washington.
The advertisement that ap
peared in this paper last week
quoted a lower berth rate of j
$15.00, good for one or two peo- j
pie, an upper berth rate of $12.- j
00, good for one person, and
drawing room rate of $45.00, :
good for at least four persons.
The demand for Pullman
cars all over the country ts
heavier than can be met by the
railroads, special trains coming
from all points in the United
States to Washington.
Mi\ Wood feels that the Shrin
ers who expect to take advan
tage of these sleeping car ar
rangements should send thei*
checks without further dek
in order that there may be :
no failure on the part of V
railway to provide such accoi
modations as are desired, b.
it is feared that many 1-'
comers are going to be d'
pointed for, as stated in the be
ginning of this article, the sup
ply of Pullman sleeping cars is
extremely limited.
AH requests for reservations
should be accompanied by
money order or check and for
warded at once to Mr. J. H.
Wood, Division Passenger
Agent, Asheville.
