Burgin The first time I was ever at Cooper’s station I was about 11 years old. Old man George Smith lived near us. His oldest boy Vance was about my age. We were good buddies. He said that he and his father were going to Cooper’s station Saturday and wanted me ;o go with them. We had some lucks that were giving us some trouble, so I got my mother to let me take them to Cooper’s station and sell them. So old man George, Vance, and I on Saturday lit out for Cooper’s station. I with five ducks and Vance and his father with as many medical herbs as ;hey could carry up across big hill >n Broad River. We went up Lakey’s Creek cross ng Lakey Gap, down the road. At ;he Black Mountain Inn the Rev. L K. Brown lived, and George, Fletcher and Bert, his sons were out in the road. Bert who was very small, talked about buying my ducks, but he did not. That was the first time I ever saw Bert. Later in life 1 learned to like him as a brother. We came onto Asheville road at Squire John Stepp’s home, now Y.M.C.A. intersection to Asheville, on highway 70, and went on to Cooper’s station, now Swannanoa. There were two stores in Cooper’s station, George Hyams’ and Wil liam Wilson’s. George Hyams bought all kinds of herbs. Old man Smith sold their load of herbs to him, they had to take pay in roods. You could sell things only for trade. I sold my ducks to William Wil son for 25c apiece in trade. We started back to Crooked f’reek with a load of groceries. We got to Squire John Stepps. He had a corn mill on Y.M.C.A. road, right below the bridge on Flat Creek. Old man Smith got a half bushel of corn and had it ground. An elderly lady ground it for him and —Turn to Page 4 Homecoming Set Sunday At First Baptist Church Homecoming at the Black Moun tain First Baptist church has been set for Sunday, Oct. 14, according to the pastor, the Rev.
