Abstract:
Lola Ward, owner of the oldest grocery store in North Carolina, was known for spreading news in Saluda. Thompson’s Store, named after Lola’s father, George, started in 1890. The store became known as “information central” because it was the place where locals went for word on everything from the arrival of newborn babies to the railroad schedule.
