Picturesque Tryon
The beautiful, picturesque little
acity of Tryon, which attracts num-
Joers of Spartans as commuters,
draws its cosmopolitan population
from far and near, and that is but

Tryon Kiwanians are a fine

Polk County Farms
Get Electricity
The County Agent just received
information from the N. C. R. E. A
concerning electricity on the farm
in Polk County. In 1934 Polk
County among other North Caro
lina counties ranked 73rd among
them in number of rural custom
ers. In 1940 this placing had been
brought up to s”oth place.
In regard to number of miles
of rural lines in Polk County it
ranked 74th in 1934 but has been
brought up to 53rd place in 1940.
Some of the increase in rural
mileage and consumption has been
brought about by the cooperation
of Rutherfordton Rural Electrifi
cation Association and part of it
by the Duke Power Company.
The N. C. R. E. A. reports that
there were 21,066.20 miles of
rural electrical lines in North Caro
lina on July Ist. Os this amount
public utilities own 13,574.59 miles,
municipalities 1,184.60 miles, and
R. E. _A. 6,307.20 miles.
