Saturday, SALUDA A large crowd of folk were at tracted to the North-Eaet end of town on Sunday at noon^ when the house owned by Mr. P. A, Bishop and occupied by Mr. Harry Gilreath and family was burned to the ground in just a few minutes time. The owner of the house had some insur ance on the building but Mr. Gil reath lost everything except one or two pieces of furniture which were of small value and while sympathy through words giveB but little relief in a case like this, we hope th* peo ple will look after the welfare of Mr, Gilreath's family in some way. The fire originated on the roof from fly ing sparks blown against dry pine shingles, and while there is ?ome in_ surance on the building^ we learn there was only about half enough to cover the loss. We are sorry to learn that Mr. Wiley Goforth, one of the communi ties very best citizens, had the mi> fortune of losing two of his toes last Thursday while chopping wood. Mr. Goforth had emergency treatment at the Tryon Infirmary, and we hope that he will soon be able to be around.

MISS McGOWAN TO MARBLEHEAD It is authentically reported, much to the regret of those who enjoy tastey tea parties and delicious luncheons, that Miss Marie McGow an who ba? operated Mountain In dustries Tea Room for the past four months. Is leaving Tryon at the close of the season here to accept a very desirable position in charge of a tea room at Marblehead, just outside of Boston. Evidently her ability as a "cuislnist" ts becoming widely known judging from a series of four similar offers which have rained upon her in the past two days. Anyone who has eaten food prepared under her direction will fully appreciate the reason for her many offers, and will feel that Tryon is temporarily losing an artist in the realm of cookery. Her many friends wish her much success in her new venture. SPOT CASH Paid for Hooked Rugs NONE WANTED That are not well-made, and in colors that blend.
