Mr.. and Mrs. L. G. MeNeely, of Sails
bury, have been in the city several days
the past week. Mr.. McNeely, it will be
remembered, was the leading spirit in
the construction of the Hendersonville
and Brevard railroad some ten years
ago. Such a word as fair is not found
in his vocabulary and but for his ener-
gy and iron will the road would never
have been constructed. Glad to see you,
Mac.
The Laurel Park railroad began
operations last Sunday morning at s
o'clock, the car making a trip every
twenty minutes between Main street
and Mrs. B. w. Carriers residence just
this side of the Park. The conductor
10 charge,was Mastery Walter Smith, the
engineer, Rance Rhodes and the fire
man Pink Carver, who handled the
train" very judiciously. The fisrt
days business was a great succes IS,
hundreds of people awaiting themselves
OF the opportunity to reach the Park in
this convenient way. The railway pro-
ject is a great scheme and had it been
completed early in the season, the
management would have realized hand
some returns from it's operation during
the summer. The receipts on last Sun
day were S35, which is a splendid show
ing for a beginning.
The writer and his family spent a
delightful day at Lake Toxaway on
Saturday, viewing the wonders of that
charming and delightful section. The
following party joined us at Brevard:
Mr.. w. K. Osborne, Rev. B. p Robert
son and family Prof. c. M. Gallamore
and family, Miss Maude Osborne and
others. Soon after reaching our
destination a delectable picnic dinner
vas spread, which fully satisfied "the
inner man." rendering possible the
further pleasures of the day. Charter
ing the larger 'Naptha launch" a very
enjoyable trip was taken on the lake,
a distance of about twelve miles. 1t is
wonderful to behold such a vast expense |
OF water surrounded by towering peaks,
which seem to touch the sky. The
distance around the lake is said to be
fifteen miles. The dam itself is a most
remarkable piece of work. After its
completion, four months and seventeen
days time was required for the water
to reach the present bound aries of the
lake. The magnificent Toxaway Inn
overIooks the lake and is still crowded
with people. 1t is no wonder they stay,
in such a dream-land as this. 1t was
with reluctance that the members of
our party turned their faces homeward.
All hope to return ERE long, when they |
have more time to spend there and
when others may be induced to go along
