TRYON THERMAL BELT
With last week's issu the Try
on Thermal Belt passes away.
It was decided by the manage
ment to abandon the paper in
order to give more time to job
printing which has been rapidly
on the increase. The friends of
the. Belt will learn with, pleasure
that former Editor Corcoran
will be in charge of the job plant
and remain in Tryon.
The News is indeed sorry to
aee the Belt leave the field, for
newspapers are drawn together
by ties such as no other profes
sion. Our sympathies for each
other are greater and more heart
felt for we. and we alone, know
what a county editor has
o face. We area centra
criticizin
. mre favorable. Then we have no
oneTto sympathize with us but
an unfortunate brother-newspaperman
who can give us noth
ing but sympathy. Such is the
- life of the county editor and the
readers may imagine with what
deep regret we chronicle the
abandonment of the Belt, for it
makes the burden the harder for
those remaining.
We wish for the entire Belt's
force the best of success in their
fcew undertaking and hope that
someday we may have the pleas
ure of welcoming them back in
to the pleasant pastures of
. journalism. .
FARMERS' INSTITUTE A SUCCESS
Fife Dollars Siren For Finest Tomatoes
Grown Next Year-
The Farmers' Institute which
was held in the courthouse Wed
nesday was a succese from start
to finish. The attendance was
exceptionally good and the inter
est taken by the farmers and
their wives plainly shows how
the farmers are awakening to
ithe need of scientific farming.
The speakers F. Sherman and
3-3. Shaw were at their best and
two more interesting speakers
never addressed an assemblage
in the county. Their lectures
were received by the audience
'with enthusiasm. ,
At the close of the meeting
chairman T. T. Ballemjer stated
that a prize of five dollars would
be givn to th farmer, who net
year brought five of the finest
tomatoes -rown in the county
to the Institute. -

Though the weather'was rath

from the whole western part of
the state braved the rain and
took heir chances to see the pro
pram carried out. The picnic
which -came off at 10 o'clock
works off of the Rock were had
and a more beautiful display has
never been seen any where Af
ter the fire works big dances
were held at 'all the hotels and
beautiful young ladies and gal
lant gentlemen were there in
attendance. Saturday morning
at 10 o'clock the tournament was
held, the 1st prize being captur

Tht'celebration was a success
from every view print and it is
hoped that hereafter one will be
held each year.
