To the People of the Lynn Special
School District:
It gives your local committee great
peasure to inform you we, have suc
ceeded i securing the title to the Lynn
school property, consisting of school j
building and euipment, the two-story
ottage and furnishings, all to be our
own for the purpose of promoting ed
ucation in our community. l
We think this will stimulate us to
take more interest in the cause of ed
ucation in our community We will
now feel more independent that we
wn and control the property. The
voters did themselves a credit last
spring when they vcted a special tax
without a dissenting vote, indicating
that you are unanimously in favor of
education with your money, as well as
in other ways.
In view of the above facts it is the
purpose of your committee to make
the school second to none of its class
in the State. The school . will open
the first Monday in September, with
throe.-ahe-iUhe-tanitee ex
pects to build an addition to the pres
ent building and have it completed
for the opning of school, if possible.
We have already forty new desks,
which arrived last week.
The eight room cottage and fur
nishings is for rent to the right party
with the contract to 1 oard the three
teachers during the school trm.
Respectfully,
W. F. SWANN, Secretary.

CROSS KEYS. "
Drama, Macedonia. -With a razor, a
spool of cotton thread and a small
portion of ether and chloroform Miss
Maria P. Kouroyen, an American Red
Cross nurse, performed a life-or-death
operation here as the result of which
and her other errands of mercy she
has come to be known as "the Amer
ican angel" by the homeless and starv
ing Greek refugees.
Born of Greek parents, Miss Kou
royen is a graduate nurse of the Mas
sachusetts GeneraKhospital in Boston.
Because of her Jmowledge of Greek
the American Red Cross sent her -fo
Macedonia, where typhus, smallpox
and cholera tread on each other's
heels, and where the refugees bury
their dead beneath the dirt floors of
their shell-shattered shacks' so that the
bread cards of the dead member of
their family shall not be taken up.
A Greek soldfer, one of whose legs
had been crushed, was brought to the
box car on a railroad siding, in which
Miss Kouroyen-was living. Something
had to be done for him at once. Miss
Kouroyen spent no time Jn talking.
Borrowing a. razor from Lieut. Abner
J. Cobb of Deliver, Colo., an American
Red Cross field worker, who was shav
ing by candle light in the box car,
Miss Kouroyen anesthetized hen pa
tient with her small supply of ether
and chloroform, and performed an am
putation, using cotton thread to "tie
off" the arteries and veins.
Despite the prophecy of a local doc
tor that the aged patient would not
live through the night Miss Kouroyen
some time later received a visit from
hef patient. He had an American
artificial limb made for him in the
American Red Cross artificial leg fac
tory for Greek war mutiles in Athens.

MEETING OF LANIER CLUB,,
The Lanier Club had a special
meeting at the club rooms, Tuesday
evening The matter of providing so
cial entertainment was one of the
principal objects of the meeting. The
Club agreed to make arrangements
for social dancing, to be held under,
the auspices of the Club, and the
floor manager and hostess vill be a
member of that body. While nb
trouble is apprehended over an at
tempt to introduce some of the pres
ent objectional dancing, yet no chance
will be taken, and you may rest assurr
ed that any and all dances given at.
the Lanier club rooms in the future
will tfb absolutely unobjectionable.1
The Club voted to purchase another
piano to be used on dance occasions,
thus preserving their fine concert pi
ano for other uses;
" The Club also adopted resolutions
to again take charge of the many
movements of a public nature for the
welfare of Tryon, and already many
important matters are under advise
ment, and we hope soon to be allowed
to mention some of them.
The Club wishes, to do all in its
power to foster any and all kinds of
proper and wholesome entertainment .
for the Tryon people, and will "do all
in its power along that .line. On
Thursday evening, July 10, the first

to procure ' happiness. If we try to
