THE WATNESVILLB MOUNTAINEER THURSDAY, jtlv The Mountaineer's Roving Reporter Visit Lake Junaluska And Rogers Cove Section Lake Junaluska Assembly is now a separate and distinct community from the adjoining old Tuscola side, the Rogers Cove and lower Richland sections. Lake Junalus ka was so named in 1911 when the assembly grounds were set apart. This land, where we now see rest dences, hotels, and other public buildings, also that covered by the lake, formerly belonged to B. P, Howell, Frank Moody, John Turpin, and others. The original settlers in the Lake Junaluska-Rogers Cove section were: Robert Rogers, Samuel Fitz gerald, Crate Morrow, Kindred Reeves, Matthew Coman, Jeremiah Liner, and Josh Fulbright. Bob Rogers was among the very first of these. As a young man he cam from Fines Creek about the year 1825 and settled in what is now the Rogers Cove. Mrs. Rogers, who lived up ntil 40 years ago, was 96 when she died. All that sec tion back then was a wilderness Geo. Fulbright (a grandson) who lives on part of the Bob Rogers place, says he well remembers hear ing his grandmother talk about how the panthers would squall at night and close to the house their tracks could be seen in the snowy weather. Bear and deer were plentiful. As a means of luring the deer Uncle Bob would place salt at a lick; then, with gun ready, would con ceal himself near-by and wait until a doer would come along and so make itself an easy target when it stopped to lick the salt. The original house stood right near where Bob Fulbright lives. The present log house was built in 1859 and later boarded over. The corners were made fast by locust pins. '" The main wing of the Kindred Reeves old log house still stands, it being one of the old land-marks of this county. Mrs A. E. Ward (daughter of Rev. J. R. Long), says she can remember how it looked sixty years ago long before the walls were boarded up. The hewn noplar logs were very large and she wondered how they could have been gotten in place. Samuel Fitzgerald (Mrs. Ward's grandfather) first bought the land where most of the present develop ment is going on, from Crate Mor rowall the land covered by Juna luska Supply Company' plant, the station, the Long and Ward rest dences, and others. The old citizens of this commu nity are proud of the fact that Tuscola early took a leading part in the educational development of Haywood cpunty. Tuscola Insti tute a subscription school afford ing: academic instruction, was founded in 1855 by the Rev, Wm Hicks and Rev. J. R. Long. It was at once a success and soon became one of the most widely patronized places of learning in all this moun tain country. Students were drawn from as far as the Blue Ridge on the East and Macon and Swain counties on the West, also a few from Tenneesse. A Blackboard Pointer Grows Perhaps you've noticed the old sycamore tree that stands over Sam McElroy's spring near the railroad trestle, Well that tree has a remarkable history.

Long the day it was stuck out by that spring nearly a hundred years ago! The Rev. Mr. Long was teaching that day, and as it happened he carried his pointer (the sycamore stick) with him to the spring, where he had m man at work cleaning it out. The stick, which he forgot when he started back to the school house, was left sticking up in the moist earth near the spring. . On going back a few days later Mr. Long noticed that the stick was begin ning to grow; he leu it to see what it would do and behold the tree! The old institute building was also used for holding "meetin's" as they called church services in that day. Mrs. Annie Francis was at the preaching service there the night of the earthquake (Charlston earthquake of 1886) Mrs. Francis said the preacher on that night had prayed that the Lord "wake sinners up, bring them to repentance," etc. Well, after a short while the house be gan to rock and folks were jumping ud and running out in wild con fusion. One of the first to run was the preacher himself . "Only Uncle Hosea Mauney and two or three others stayed in the house," said Mrs. Francis. "Uncle Hosea cried, Halleluliah!! the Son of Man has cornel' and just shouted right on." Junaluska Today Today we find at Junaluska most of the foundation requisites for a good sized town water, lights, good roads, entertainment, church, two store (one a large department store) and industries employing more than a hundred and fifty persons. A fast growing concern is the Junaluska Supply Co. especially since the burn-out of last April. Jerry ; Liner is now sole owner. Though carrying no insurance, the comeback was remarkable, the business is not only just a big store as the name would indicate. There is also a modern builders' supply house, fed in great part unit modern dry-kiln, planing ma chines , : and all the other equipment that goes with a first-class wood-working plant. Housed in this same con nected building almost a block long we find a machine shop, a gar age, and grist mill. Mr. Liner also does contract construction work. Buildingings recently completed by the Liner Construction Company are: Cogdill Motor Company's gar age, Sylva; Garrett's Furniture Store, Waynesville; and a resi dence for Willard Moody near the lake. He is building for himself a large, modern filling station on the lot between the highway and the builders' depot, also just finished or in the course of Judy Garland and Her Ranee I jj t ! i- ' Film songstress Judy Gsrland, 19, Is shown with Dave Rose, 80-year- j old musician-composer, after they announced their engagement in Hol lywood. They declared they would wed before the first of the year, j six cottages for employees. When the filling station and garage (2 stories) is completed Mr. Liner says there will be in all units a total of approximately 35,000 feet of floor space or 810 of an acre. A dairying business is carried on in connection with the farm up in the Liner Cove. The milk, butter and cream is mostly sold through the store. Likewise, the hogs, lambs , and beef stock butchered goes to Liner's employees nearly hundred men and women in bis varied business enterprises.. The Underwood Novelty Works (wholesale) is another growing concern. This plant is located just above the lake on the highway. Charles Underwood is owner and manager. Establshed in Janu ary, 1940, the business already has 32 employees. The floor space is 5.500 square feet. The Hillcrest Lumber Company nearby is operated by Charles Underwood and Wiley Galloway. They do custom and contract saw ing. Here 14 men are employed. A. J. McCracken is the leading dairyman of the community. He has built up his own strain of grade Guernsey milk cows and is construction making a success. We found Mr. McCracken excavating for a new upright silo. He is abandoning the trench silos. Wallace Ward is the purebred Shorthorn grower, having built up his herd from a foundation ob tained in Indiana, Ohio, and Ten nessee. The opinion of many cat tlemen is that Mr. Ward has doubt less built tip one of the finest Shorthorn herds in this whole country. Qther new buildings just finish ed or in course of construction are: S E. Connatser, 2 cottages back of his filling station on the hill. Gerald Rathbone, residence. Mrs. Mamie Seay, four cottages. Carey McCracken, garage apart ment, C. A. Rauschenber, of Atlanta, residence on assembly grounds. Bishop Kern, residence in assem bly (Guy Fulbright had contract for these two houses.) Hallet Ward, residence near his store.-... Ben Medford, residence for him self at Meade wf ord. Robert Burress, residence in Rog ers Cove.-'. Mrs. John Moffitt surprised her husband last Saturday with a birthday dinner, the anniversary of his seventieth birthday.
