at 3 p m.; fot the purpose of rais
ing by subscription enough money

Many -prominent citizens of
Tryon, who have taken active, in
terest in the automobile road pro
ject from Jacksonville to Ashe-
ville, C success f or which now

just such a movement as this to
bring about improved conditions
closer to home. -vx
Let every citizen come out, to
this meeting and show as much
interest in his town as he does in
his farm success for this pioject
