Paris Caudill has just purchased a fine new player piano and the sweet strains of some of the latest music can be heard almost any time these days if you chance to pass his place. Mr. Burnam Brandenburg left here the first of May for Maben, where he will be employed as saw-filer. Mrs. Brandenburg has joined him there also. W. S. King, our assistant planing mill foreman, has just returned from a two weeks' stay at New Martinsville, Ind., where he took treatment for rheumatism.

Mr. Henry Ballard visited friends in Huntington, over Sunday, May 28. Hurley Owing to the fact that the regular correspondent has a bad case of writers' cramp, Hurley items have been conspicuous by their absence for the last two issues of The Hardwood Bark. The local official, realizing this, has appointed three of us to partially fill the position until he recovers. Our first charge is to express our appreciation for the recent visit of our President, Mr. W. M. Ritter, the man who put Knox Creek on the map, and we urge that he make his visits more frequent in the future. While here he stated that Hurley was in the best shape he had seen it for a number of years. This high class condition was effected through our Division Superintendent, Mr. A. A. Kopp, assisted by W. B. Ross and H. M. Johnson. Hurley folks say that they can take these three and beat the world when it comes to getting results. We did not enjoy our electric lights half as much three weeks ago as we do at this writing. Lights were on the bum for four or five nights last week while a part of the generator was away for repairs, so we had to return to tallow pots and John D. When the parts came back, all the "ex-" and "would-be" electricians were over at the power house standing around with a piece of waste in one hand and good advice in the other, while Mr. Hook, our master mechanic, and Will Aldridge, our regular electrician, put the machine together. In spite of all of this, we are glad to say that our lights are better than ever.
