The editor Of the Tryon Bee teHls
OF the wonderful progress made by
his town in the last fifteen years.
Tryon is n Of the largest distribut
ing points for Hendefsonville's busi-
ness houses and many of the people
journey. here to trade. TIE Bee has
the following to say:
Fifteen years ago about the time
this paper came into existence there
were about four store buildings on
Trade street, all wooden; three
churches Baptist, Congregational
and Episcopal, all wooden, an opera
house. a wooden jail. an old tumble
down school house, and the two
hotels-Oak Hall and Lynn Hotel, and
about thirty-five houses, not counting
small roughly finished houses or
cabins. At the present writing, Janu-
airy 1911, there are seven modern
stone buildings and seven brick build
ings including the. p~ostofice and
bank on Trade street; one new wood
en- Methodist church, and a new peb-
BILE dash Episcopal church and a stone
and concrete, Congregational church

a stone Jail, a large brick school
building; Oak Hall hotel renovated
and enlarged, and Lynn hotel en-
larged, with the Mimosa hotel and
about 100 new houses, ranging in
value from $1,000 to $4,000. Many
houses have been deliberately enlarg-
ed and hundreds of small houses and
cabins built. Fires have removed
about seven good houses besides the
stores on Trade street. The opera
house was, torn down and removed for
a dwelling house. The Lanier Library

IN MEMORTAM.

Mrs. Theresa J. Blythe, the faithful
and devoted wife of Mr.. J. J.. Blythe,
after a long and painful illness, de-
parted this. life, Jan. 18th, 1911. Mrs.
Blythe was born April 18th, 1881, in
Liverpool, England, being the daugh-
ter of the Rev. John Davies, of that
city. She came with her sister, the
Rev. Mrs. Foulds, and family to this
country at the age of seventeen, and
four years later was married to Mr.
Canada Henderson, then OF Buncombe
county. To this union were born five
children. John T. Henderson. Thos G..
w. Henderson (new deceased) Mrs.
n. E. Pace, James Henderson (new
deseased) and D. ID. Henderson. Mr..
Henderson was a soldier in the Con-
federate Army, and was killed while
~on duty at Petersburg, Va, near the
clase of che war between the States.
Several years later, on March 18th,
1877, Mrs. Henderson, then a widow,
was married to Mr.. j. J. Blythe, who
survives her. IN early life she became
a member Of the Baptist church, and
continued a faithful and CONSTANT
member thereof during life. Being a
cultured christian lady, she was low
ed by her family and highly esteem
ed by all who knew her. Surrounded
by family, husband, children, grand
children and friends after religious
services. conducted by the Rev. A. I.
Justice. her farmer Faster, the bodily
OF Mrs. Blythe was laid to rest in the
Ebenezer Cemetry by the friendly
hands of a committee fro mthe Mas
onic Lodge, of which order her hus-
band is an honored member.
Mrs. Blythe was a faithful and de-
voted wife, a tender, kind, self-sacri-
fcing and loving mother, a bospitable
friend and neighbor. She loved life
N bere its tolls and cares patient
~, and endured her last affection,
lasting nearly a year, and passed to
rest without a word of murmur or
comnlaint. being fully regigned to the
will of Kim who d9eth all things well.
She was truly a good woman, and
the vacancy made by her departure
can eve he filed. We mourn the loss
OF one 80 dear, and ask that the mem
DRY of her may eve be fondly kept,
and may family and friends initiate
her noble example, and emulate her
exemplary life.

Flying Trip to GreenriEle.

Speeding along in one OF Henderson
ville's powerful big automobile last
Sunday Mr.. John l.. Orr took several
of his friend on a journey to
Greenville and back in one day. LeaE-
ing here OF Z O'Clock in the morning
they reached the Piedmont city" at
10 o'clock, and spent several pleasant
hours looking over the town and talk
ing with several of the prominent cit

GreenVille is closely linked with
HendersonVille and with the complet-
ion of the Hendersonville-Greenvil

ney to the mill city" of South Caro-
lima. These in the car were: Messrs
K. G. Morris, j. w. Grimes, p. F. Pat
ton, J. L. Orr and Glover Orr, who
drove the car. On the trip the gentle
men had an opportunity to see the
condition of the roads owe the noun
tains and report that the road is in
fairly good shape. With a few
touches in bad PAGES it will be per-
fectly safe to travel in a machine in
the dark and when the summer sea-
son opens there will be more travel
over this route than ever before.
One of the parties spoke Of the Won
erful progress made in the past few
years in Greenville. He said that
there was now buildings going up on
all sides and that Greenville looked
good to him. Everybody" had a nice
word for Hendersonville", remarked
the gentleman. He~ndersonville re-
ceived hundreds of Greenville people
during the summer and many of them
own valuable property here.

State and Government Experts Go to
Transatlantic County to Establish
Experiment Patches. .s.N L
Asheville Gazette-News.
In the city today, in route to Tran
sylvania, were two governemnt ex-
perts who are going to the county
to establish an experimental patch
of hurley tobacco. The people of Hen
derson and Pennsylvania counties
have expended much energy within
recent years in raising cabbage for
the southern market and it is said
that some of them have not been as
successful as they would desire. At
the suggestion of Albert Cannon the
North Carolina Department of Agri-
culture took up the idea of seeing
if the land of this section was adopt
ed to the production of the hurley
tobacco. The North Carolina depart
ment has secured the cooperation of
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture and the two departments
will conduct the experiments Jointly.
w. G.. Moss is the United States ex-
pert and ]. L. Burgess the State ex-
pert.
In Madison county it is said that
the farmers have been rather success
full in growing tobacco. The people
of this section will await with much
interest the experiments which will
be conducted during the coming year
in Pennsylvania county.
