ENTERED AS SECOND-CLASS MATTER AUGUST 20, 1928, AT THE POST OFFICE AT TRYON, N. C. UNDER THE ACT OF CONGRESS, MARCH 3, 1879 t (Erymt (The World’s Smallest Daily Newspaper) Vol. 11. Est. 1-31-28 TRYON, N C., WED., MARCH 16, 1938 Old Building Being Razed The J. B. Livingston house, a two-story wooden building on Trade street opposite Stewart’s service station, is being razed, and a mod ern Texaco service station will go j up in its place early this summer. ! The new building will be of brick j construction and will contain storage quarters for cars. J. H. Reaban of Hendersonville, Texaco distributor is the owner of the property. The house was approx imately 50 years old, one of the oldest in town. The late J. B. Livingston was in the legislature and a local political leader. There is no telling how many town and | county laws were first discussed ; in this old house and on the front i porch where lawmakers would ! rather from time to time to discuss local legislation. While Mr. Liv ’ngston was in the legislature, the late J. C. Fisher was in the Senate. Preview Notwithstanding a stormy after noon visitors from Greenville and S : partanburg braved the weather to attend the opening of Mr. Aiken’s exhibition. Tryonites united with them in making the occasion a great success. A cultured and appreciative ! audience viewed the charming ! watercolor paintings by Mr. Aiken. ! The large gallery was devoted ex clusively to his work. In the smaller gallery Mrs. King Couper displayed a collection of delightful i orbits and landscapes painted in oil. “CURB” REPORTER We have been getting a lot of telephone calls since Mrs. Ban ning arrived at her Tryon home. Oh, no; she has not been calling us, but a lot of people who ring Central and ask for Mrs. Ban ning's residence, get M!rs. Vining’s residence. It is happening every day. We don’t mind it, but it makes a lot of unnecessary delay, especially if we are out and word is left for Mrs. Vining to call such and such a person, and we find out hours later that the mes sage was intended for Mrs. Ban r ng. According to the new tele phone book published last month, Mrs. Banning’s phone number is 262. Tryon is still a neighborly village where telephone numbers *re not necessary in most cases. Often the big city felow who comes to Tryon gets a big surprise when he calls for a certain number and Central asks: “Do you want Mr. Cmith? He i s at Mr. Jones’ house” ■nd sometimes when you ring Dr. Tervey or Dr. Palmer, Central will say “he is at the hospital, I’ll ring there.” You can’t get that ’ ind of service in a big city. Cen tral is not nosey or gossipy, just diplomatically helpful, eager to be of service to all parties concerned. . . . .
