Although it was not base ball, William McMurray was the substitute speaker at the August 5 meeting of the Ki wanis Club of Black Mountain Swanannoa and was applaud ed. His rapid fire delivery had all gasping for air as he com mented on the history of Black Mountain and Swanna oa valley. He stated that the first settler in this Cherokee area was killed. Land at one time sold for five cents an acre. The advent of the stage coach introduced a new out look. As people poured into this area tourist inns and more homes sprang into existence. When the railroad made its debut, steamer trunks and luggage used to pile up to such an extent that it took all day to deliver them. After World War I there was a boom in real estate. Mr. Mc Murray told of the coming of the various assemblies and their influence on the com munity. He spoke briefly on beauty of our mountains and valley, fishing spots, hiking trails and scenic roads. He noted one sad fact that the last wild turkey around here was shot in 1903. When Mr. McMurray col lapsed from his own exertion, he had stirred up so many memories that the meeting lasted another ten minutes. Subjects covered during that time were swimming holes, flowers, Indian trails, bear grass (which according to “Hugh” White is neither a bear nor a grass but a lily), the wondrous train ride from Black Mountain to Old Fort.

RARE BIRD SEEN IN VALLEY SKY Latest thrill for bird watch ers is the sight of a swallow tail kite glimpsed Sunday afternoon by E. M. Hoffman and friends from the neighbor hood of Last Resort. The kite was soaring on the wind cur rent and although clearly visible with the naked eye the members of the group also viewed the bird through bino culars. Although the swallow-tail kite is rare in this part of the South, bird books state that they are occasional visitors to this area. Since this visitor Sunday was identified beyond any doubt it must be that the group was treated to one of the rare visits by a transient kite.
