As a winter resort Tryon is equipped with all those neceseities which alone make such places acceptable to the trav- eling public.

This little bamlet of about 500 inhsbl- tants nestles beautifully among the foot- hills of the Tryon range of mountains, 1,500 feet above the level of the sea. Virgin forests of piues and resinous gum trees clothe the great beights to thstr tops and fill the air with Nature's balm for delicate throats and lungs, and as the temperature is ten degreee warmer than surrounding resorts, violets bloom freely in ttre gardene all winter.

We go to the theatre to gst that-we look upon tragedy with an in- tense desire to actually feel it,-for, with Tennyson, "Life, more hife, is what we want," but all the time we know that it is a pley! The curtain will go down, ths lighte will go out, and we shall discuss crab salad and tutti-frutti at some agreeable place in half an hour! But coming down over this Spartan- burg branch from Saluda to Tryon we get the real thing-we feel the drsad -- we shrink and yet we gaze, or dare not gaze, at the wild, gorgeous scenery we

"nobody can live upon a view," and the tourist of today demands a fine table and civilized accommodations. Tryou lacka nothing of all this. Massachusetts people, with the ideas prevalent in the Bay state, have come here bringing their housebold with them, and their hospitality, even to the traditional "baked beans,"' is shared by us who coms and linger and pass on, or by those who can find no more attract- tive place in the coveted dry, high atmo- spere of an equable climate, than this wherein to spend a winter. Very many of the permanent inhabitants ars from New England, and almost all the guests are from Boston or tts euburbs.

The Way It is Done.

O. G. Cash, chief of the Westfield po- lice, writes thus of the Curfew law: "We bave bad the law since 1897, and [ con- sider it the best possible way to deal with the children. Ws use e whistle which blowe at 9 p. m. from April to October, and at 8 p. m. from October to April. After the whistle sounds the children all leave the streets excent such as are with their parents or sent on errands of Importance. Whenever we find a boy who does not intend to obey the law we take him over to the lock up and give him a good talking to, and we seldom have any trouble afterward. We bave never found It necessary to lock a boy up. I want to say that the parents can aid the police very much in this matter. I find that the boys soon fall in liue and ae a rule they mean to do pretty Dear right. I can say that the curfew law ie a success here in Westfield."

Card of Thanks.

I wish to extend our most heartfelt thanks to our neighbore and friends for their deeds of kindness and words of sympathy in our bereavement.

Here, amid the scent of the rich vineyards, amid the million pink blos- soms of uunumbered peach trees; here, where, amid a thousand neres of yellow corn, flows the clear mountain stream he celebrated-the poet-musiclan, wlio lived in awest sounds, breathed his last sigh, while the mountain airs
