We bring you good news of good men and women: The Tryon Rotary Club members. They deserve three cheers. You may recall that an outstanding Landrum High School student, Devlin Scott Pierce, was awarded a scholar ship from Rotary to study pre law this year. That was before he got into some trouble, being charged apparently with accompanying some vandals on a spree through a graveyard near Glassy Mountain recently.
