Weather Wednesday: low 63,
high 86 .... C. V. Elliott, near
Columbus brought in a load of
fresh corn for Tryon merchants
today. Small, full ears with a
delicious flavor. Nice for those
liking corn-on-the-cob . . . Thanks

meat, appears destined to play an
even more important part in the
winning of World War No. 2.
