TRYON CHORAL CLUB
The Tryon Choral Club is com
posed of about 60 Tryonites, both
'old and young, who enjoy singing.
We hope to interest others in a
membership for the Spring con
cert. No dues and very little pre
vious training are required, as Dr.
it. A. Laslett Smith has kindly
offered his services free.
We hope you will come to the
concert Monday, December 16th, at
the modest admission fee of 60c
and spend an enjoyable evening.
Any profits made from these con
certs will be spent to promote
fnusic in this town for those who
could not otherwise afford it.—Con
tributed.
REMINISCENCES
(By Miss Helen A, Carver)
The large house had many looms
which in winter were filled with
paying guests. Incidentally, I note
that each room had a trash-burner
stove. Each morning, an attend
ant started a fire and put on a
receptacle for hot water. A half
century ago, that was considered
the acme of comfort in Tryon!
Mrs. Ferris did not limit her
guests to her own preferences in
diet, giving them, instead, a gener
ous table Although she was much
respected by them, they were rather
gratified when some minor ill kept
her in her room and “Charles”,
without comment, helped himself
to some of the normal food he was
serving the others.
If I could sketch from memory,
I should like to have the Ferrises
roll off my page in their own car
nage, a closed, coupe-like vehicle
unlike anything else on wheels ever
seen in Tryon. The driver sat
very high in front, with the owners,
out to take the fresh air in winter,
snugly tucked in back of him with
all the robes and shawls an Arctic
Winter might have demanded. At
one window appeared the face of
Mr. Ferris, with his gray side
burns and at the other, the sur
prisingly-modern, fine face of Mrs.
Ferris framed by mid-Victorian
curls.
