THE YEAR 1B9S AND BREVARD
' , ... '
What has the year 1895 to do
with Brevard? To one whose mind
iq not .fresh with notable events in
the history off Transylvania County
this jyear would mean
no more^than any other in the
growth of Brevard. But yes ? the
year 189E> hes a vast more to do
with the growth and prosperity of
Transylvania County than the aver
age pferiod of twelve months. ' For
in this y'ear, twenty-nine years ago,
two great and notable events occur
ed,- the Opening of the Transylvania
Eranch, Southern Railway, and the
publishing of the first issue of THE
SYLVAN VALLEY NEWS, the ,ex
nopenP of'Trangylvania County.
^ Yes truly, this was a progressive
year for the "Land of waterfalls,"
yd a railroad into this fertile val
ley Was the greatest step that could
bij taken by Transylvania County on
its upward, progressive march. By
this Brevard .emerged from a small,
out of the way place to a stand upon
the march of progress and took its
stride withfthe country, onward.
The year 1895 stands for Bre
vards entrance into th6 commercial
wcfivd, .through its rail_ way lower
fright 'bills were produced* and
thereby greater was the commerce,
through its rail way greater was the
r.Umber of visitors to the county and
finally their permanent residence
here greatly boosting the population
?and business of the county.
. ' The second of these progressive
undertakings, the establishment . o(
The Sylvan Valley News, was of a',
much importance in the life of tho
county as the first and\ the greatnest.
of the undertaking ma^ be realized
from the fact that the town had a
populationiof only 500 and the coun
ty of OyOOO, both extremely small to
be supporting a newspaper. In
looking back over our files we have
found that of the year 1895, the
first to be printed, and here through
out its pages it is boosting "The land
of watffalls," proclaiming - to the
nation the advantages of Transylva
nia .county and calling the world to
immigrate into the county. And
have these undertakings succeeded?
The populat'on of Brevard has in
creased from that meagre 500 to
Uiore that 1700 and that of the coun
ty has doubled more than once.
.Ye3 those four ' figures, 1895,
spell a red letter year for Transyl
vania and today twenty_nine years
later Hhe Transylvania Railway
t'll serving and up-building the
county and the Sylvan Valley News,
rinder the name Brevard News is as
ever, "The Exponent of Transylva
nia." E. P.
