Tryon had a fire scare last Monday.
The alarm was sounded and it was
reported that the home of Mrs. Le
count was on fire. A larere mwH i
fc nfediately went to the fire9 but. for
tunately at was only a chimney burn
ing out and no damage resulted. The
same day a smiall blaze started at the
home of Mr. J. N. Jackson but Mrs,
Jackson called for Mr.-Jackson who
went home and extinguished the
blaze before any damage much result

State Food Administrator, Henry
Page, is after the food hogs, who are
determined to secure what they de
sire, paying no attention to the rules
laid down by the food-administration.
One of the latest rules is that no one
family is allowed to have more than
five pounds of sugar in its possession.
Merchants are complaining that
many people go from store to store,
purchasing ' the maximum amount
wherever they can. Mr. Page says
that a strict watch is going to be set,
and any such -person caught at this
practice will be given the full penalty
which is a fine of $5,000 or two years
in the penitentiary. Better be decent
about this matter.
By request of Dr. and Mrs. Grady,
uaptain bpencer assigned four khaki
boys to dinner at their house Sunday,

Somebody has remarked on the
strange mix-up of, this war year.
French and English fighting side by
side; American soldiers cheered as
they marched along London streets;
the great! protestant nation, Germany,
and the great Catholic nation, Austria
uniting with the Turks,, to slaughter
their fellow Christians. Tryon the
jther-day had a hint of oddity in this
combined! January thunder and snow
storm which was mistaken for the ar
tillery, practice that is intended to
sill the Germans. .

Mr. J. B. Gray, farm demonstratoi

ialuda; it, has Cantrell, Green s Creek
j. ri. Oibbs, Mill spring; t. M. bur
gess, Columbus. All farmers or
ruckers desiring nitrate of soda will
nake application to this committee.
The U. S. government has purchas-
jd 100,000 tons of nitrate for distri
bution to American farmers, and will
jell it at $75.50 per ton f. o. b. sea
iort. .-Farmers will, in addition, be
ompelled to pay freight from port
f arrival and the State fertilizer tag
fee.
Mr. O. S. Bird of Rickshaven, gave
as a call last Monday. Mr Bird says
,he cold weather has made no mater-
al change in the plans lor making
iickshaven one of the most populai
esorts in this part of the State.
.hey are now ready for business.
iickshaven possesses all the desirec
jonvehiences, such as steam heat.
.ooms with private baths, etc. Just
as weather conditions will permit a
telephone line will be run to the hotel.
the postoffice of Stearns is now lo
cated in the hotel, and mail is receiv-

A blinding mid-Jaunary- snow
storm and all day thunder and light
ning storm last week shows what
Tryon can do when it tackles the ele
ments. The Tryonite I quoted last
week as saying that this isn:t Try
m's winter climate tbut only its sum
mer weather bracing up 'for next
summer evidently knew what he was
talking about.
In his poem pf "Paradise Lost,"
Milton makes Satan say in welcoming
iiimself to his infernal regions, "hail,
horrors, hail!" What would he have
said had there been snow and rain
and thunder and lightning as well as
.tail, as there were in Tryon a few
lays ago :
I am told that the French officer
Arho recently talked of his military
.experiences so interestingly, was him
self much pleased with conversations
in his native tongue with French

American. A humorous Tryonite
