TELEGRAPHIC
ANNIVERSARY
A Tryan school class was asked
by the teacher, “Who invented the
telephone?” One student, eager to
show his knowledge, replied imme
diately, “George Bell.” The stu
dent was slightly mistaken, but it
is interesting to know that George
E. Bell of Tryon opened up his
Postal Telegraph office in Tryon
just 12 jears ago today, Sept. 26,
1923. He had only sn old kitch
en table for an operating desk
and did business in the Hester
building in the lobby of the old
Bank of Tryon at the head of the
basement stairs. A native of
Buncombe county, Mr. Bell got his
first job as a telegraph operator
at Newton, N. C., in the spring of
1889, and during the past 44 years
he has operated telegraph instru
ments for 16 different systems that
sent him to all parts of the United
States including California and
the South West. Since coming to
Tryon he has taken an active part
in community affairs. He is a
Trustee of the Congregational
church, a Shriner, District Deputy
of the Masonic Lodge, and a mem
ber of the County School Board
and of the County Democratic
Executive Committee. He has also
assisted in many local enterprises
fdr the development of Tryon.
Dr. and Mrs. George F. Taylor
have leased Mrs. Andrew H.
Green’s house on Payne St., and
will move from the F. J. McDon
ald home about the middle of Oc
tober. Dr. Taylor has been appoint
ed on the faculty of Converse col
lege and will teach Bible three
