| SEASON OPENS AT
j LANIER CLUB
The Lanier club with its friends
and visitors had a most enjoyable
hour of “escape” and relaxation
Thursday afternoon at the opening
meeting of the club, when our fel
low townsman Mr. Ralph Erskine,
reviewed the early days of Try
on.
Few of us dreamed that we
were living in a land so rich in

the community center of the town
was a small but very important
one-room that served as railread
station, express and post office, and
in addition housed all activities
pertaining to pulpit, press, and
“prohibition”. Most interesting
and picturesque were the stories
of Tryon Mountain, Big and
Little Warrior, and the early set
tlers of the Pacolet Valley. Our
three guardian peaks, decked in
their gorgeous Autumn colors look
like figures in a storied tapestry,
but behind their serene beauty
lies a story of dark days, Indian
raids, and treaties. Best of all
the anesdetes of the early Tryon
ites. the beginnings of Tryon hos
pitality and the colorful and peace
ful living that has become one
