The play is good. FRIGIDARE STORY The joy of giving is augmented by the pleasure the gift itself inspires. If in addition, that.gift adds something to the daily enjoyment and welfare of the entire family, it has been well chasen, indeed. An electric refrigerator is such a gift, something to be closely associated with Christmas, says R. O. Andrews local Frigidaire dealer who has i already booked a large number of GrHorc fr?r Holivoru HnrTnr- tho r?nm- I ing Christmas season. "Every woman appreciates two kinds of gifts?the intimately personal gift, and the gift for her home and her family", says Mr. Andrews "The electric refrigerator includes both these requisites. It may well be considered the perfect Christmas gift because it has the advantages which make it personal. At the same time it is a gilt which will be enjoyed by the whole family. "What could be more personal than a gift will lighten the householdcares and make it possible to entertain more easily and with greater success? And what could be more welcome to all the family than the assurance of eating pure, wholesome foods all the year round?foods made more appetizing by the frosty atmosphere of an electric refrigerator I "Frigidairo is a gift which will always be looked upon with pride. Its attractive appearance and efficiency are in keeping with the highest standards of any home. From FRIGIDAIIIE CORPORATION. Dayton, Ohio. Read Polk County News I W. F.

Dear Sir: I would like to explain the exact reason why Tryon's water la coating so much and why there la auch a large bond issue; also how It could hare ma/in murh smaller. L?OCU uiuuv ? ? When the-water offiicals In the Town of Landrum came to me to try to buy the Vaughn's Creek watershed I tried my best to get the Mayor _ to call the Council together and let me make them an offer on the shed which was later sold U> I-andrum, but I could get no action out of him although I offered the Town of Tryon 1000 acres for approximately $13,000, the same price per acre that Landrum paid for tho laud they purchased from me for their preesut watershed. The Town of Landrum also wanted me to Klve them an option on the Jameson Creek watershed, but I refused to do this and offered this 600 acres to the Town of Tryon for }30,000 throught the Mayor, and told him that they could have five years' In which t0 pay it I was never able to get any action from him in this matter. ff the officials of the Town of Tryon had accepted my offer they would have had the Vaughn's Creek ? shed and 1000 acres of land for $1$,000, and would have only had to lay about one mile of pipe to connect it with their present pipe line from their intake, and would have had an ample supply of water at an expense of not ... more than $20,000. They would alio own 1000 acres of land adjoining their present watershed. If they hid taken the combined offer of the Jameson Creek and Vaughn's Creek watersheds they would have had approximately 1,700 acres and the withe supply which would be ample for a good many years at a cost of very little more than $60,000 for land and the laying of the pipes, and the reservoir that was built two yeari ago could have been used. I do not thing there has ever been a survey made by the Town of Tryon of the Jameson Creek shed, nor an engineer's report of it, and when 1 suggested the purchase of this shed to Mayor Orecn he said he did not think it could be used. I offered to get him Spoon, Lewis & Camp's report without cost to the Town, showing that water from this shed could be used by Tryon, and that the supply would be ample In any time of drought, but he did not seem to rare to have the report. To sum up the water situation: Trvnn nnw hna In Ita new Water shed only about 300 acres which cost approximately 327,000, and It does not own the drainage area that goes Into this shed. It has a Tory large amount of money Invested In pipe lines, settling plants and filtering basins that would not have been necessary had the watershed offered it been purchased, and had this pur chase been effected Tryon would have had a continuous watershed from Melrose Mountain to Hogback I think that the above will explain why Tryon has such a large indebtedness for water, and that thera shonld have been no reason for this. Very truly yours, R. C. REMICK. Paid Advertisement NOTICE OF SALE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA, COUNTY OF POLK. Under and by virtue of the power of sale contained in a certain mort; ge deed executed by F.
