- About the Fire. ?
The fire which occurred in Tryon
lust Suuday a. m., although an un
welcome aiid horrible visitor, left
numy causes for thankfulness, chief
amouL' them being that no lives i
.were lost ..'.'
Fear is entertained by many that
this severe lass may ' check the
march of progress in Tryon. "We
trust not Bui hope that it will be,
as many such fires' have proved,
tiu iuceutive for a- better and more
rapid growth. ".;:'.
Ve extend our sympathy to John
Orr & Ca, aud The Ball enger Go.,
-intheir misfortune, but commend
them for their grit and enterprise,
Jn' re opening and selling goods
the day" after they had lost. all.
That's the . spirit with which to
build up a town. Never say 'down."
' Pall Together. :
The uaturaP advantages of Polk
. county are many, but they avail it
little so long as they are unknown
to" the outside world. If !Polk
county is to become the prosperous
business centre and health resort
we'rall believe it is destined toe,
then the citizens must begin to act
aufl work together.
To " ke.ep everlastingly at iC" is
the best way to build up a town or
county. Let each citizen talk his
town in particular and Polk countv
in general to his " friends and keep
on talkiog until it is imprinted in
their memories. " Tell them off its
. superb locations and great advan
tages for factories and industrial
enterprises. It's health restoring
.S powers- and natural' beauty. -The
opportunities for - successful truck
farming and "fruit I growing. The
' good schools and moral influences.
. If Polk county is your home and
ideal, don't keep it a secret Let
. people know it and tell thenvwhy
-. yon; think so much of, it In this
way you can do "muh to bring
your county to the front - - :
Let us all pull together for Polk
. - - county.
. About Ourselves.
v '-.'We have jjtadded considerable
- printing material td Th Polk
County News, office, in the shape of
type, etc', and are now able to do
a better and more extensive line of
j
book and job printing. We want
, you to bring us all you have in this
line and let us prove that we can
.xlo as neat a piece . of printing as
v can bojdone anywhere. Why, send
; your printing elsewhere when you
can get it as good and as cheap
right here at home? patronize
' -home industries and so .help to
build up Polk county.
- We want to double the circula-
tion of Thb News the coming year
and ask you to help us. You can
. . do a great deal by talking to your
- friends about the paper and per
suading those who are not . sub
scribers to at- least try it for one
month. This will only cost them
ten cents. 7
We will endeavor to print a
- newsy readablft sheet, but wish to
remind you that the quality and
influence of a newspaper depends
largely upon the support it receives
- from the citizens of the county.
The great advantage of the
. telephone was experienced ' by the
citizens of Columbus; when - the
fire at Tryon caused them to be
disconnected with the latter place
for a "day or two the forepart of
this week.
