  • MAIL BAG GOSSIP News and Personals frorri the Field should be sent in so as to be in the Editor's hands before the end of the month. Shortening of articles, due to space limitations, sometimes is necessary, but is no reflection upon the contributor. Care will be taken to preserve the writer's meaning in all cases. Columbus Office Congratulations are in order for our Office Manager, Mr. W. G. Davis, . the stork having left at his home on June 12th a fine boy weighing just a little over eight pounds. Little "Jack" and his mother are doing fine. When the men say a photograph doesn't do a girl justice it's difficult to determine whether they are sincere or simply trying to be flattering; but when the other girls unanimously agree that such is the case there can be no doubt about it. We owe Miss Dearmin an apology for not getting a photograph more true to life than the one published in the June issue. See her picture in the group at Mr. Hamill's party. b What a trip to California did for Ann Nangle. Miss Nangle, who is a stenographer in the Legal Department, recently made a trip to California with the Shriners. The above picture shows what the trip did for her. Her normal is 120 pounds, height 5 feet 8 inches. Mr. Bell jokingly told her not to stay too long or he might get a "good" stenographer in her place. She retaliated by sending him the advertisement quoted below which she found in one of the western newspapers: "Help Wanted—Female "Wanted—First-class steongrapher; experienced, speedy, accurate. Handle some correspondence alone. Sound health and nerves essential for rush office. Excellent opening for competent worker. 'No application will be read unless accompanied and giving references. No young perfumes or cosmetics.' Apply immediately, Box 4228 Sun." Miss Nangle states that she believes she could have qualified for that job. The pictures at the top of the following page were taken at the garden party given by Mr. James L. Hamill, on June 17th, to the people in the eight Columbus Office and their families. The party was more fun than ever, and the garden and grounds never looked lovelier. There was an exciting ball game, participated in by the ' 'boys,'' in which C. B. Weakley, John Nagle, F. B. Pryor, Harry Bayer, A. W. Riley, and others did some spectacular work, F. B. P. proving himself a regular Babe Ruth. A fine orchestra furnished music, both instrumental and vocal, for the amusement of the guests. Some interesting pictures were snapped by George Briggs, but like the "biggest fish that always gets away," the ones he expected to be the snappiest were fogged, which explanation is made to keep some dame who expects to see her portrait, and is disappointed, from wreaking vengeance, etc. A delightful luncheon was served at six o'clock, and the guests departed with the hope of meeting next June, in the same happy spot. "b "b Nantahala Nantahala River is a beautiful stream, and visitors come from great distances to fish and to camp on its banks. Amateur and professional fisherman tramp side by side along the shore as they cast the innocent looking but treacherous artificial fly where the gamey Rainbow Trout is apt to be looking for a meal. To the lumberman the fine Oak, Chestnut, Poplar, Basswood, Ash, and Wild Cherry of the virgin forest look most attractive and inviting, and it is with pride that a "Ritter" man looks up this fine tract of timber and realizes that it belongs to his organization. Mr. and Mrs. O. B. Guffey, of Hellen, Georgia, are visiting relatives in Franklin, N. C. Mr. Weaver made a record shipment during the month of June. He and Mrs. Weaver have rooms at Dixie Hall. Colleton Mr. and Mrs. D. R. Yates and little daughter Mary left for Columbus, Ohio, to visit Mr. Yates' home. Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Troutman and little son Harold have returned from an extended visit to Mr. Troutman's home in Concord, N. C. Mrs. H. R. Satterwhite is visiting her sister in Georgia. Mr. Gilbert Smith has recently accepted a position in our store. We are sorry to learn of the death of Mrs. J. W. Ramsey, wife of our millwright. Miss Lucile Brabham and Mr. R. B. Ramsey were married at Wal- terboro, June 12, 1922. Pets are quite fashionable in Colleton, Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Godwin have a pet raccoon named ' 'Brooker.'' What is the trouble? Mr. Frank Reams missed two evenings last week calling on Miss Irene Godwin. We are glad to learn that Mr. G. O. Pate has recovered from a recent illness. Mrs. Charlie Brabham has been on the sick list, but we are glad to learn that she has recovered. Bill Carter has manufactured a racer, the remains of a Ford Car. It is similar to an aeroplane—you have to be strapped in. Miss Glenn Smith has recently been added to our office force—that is why Mr. Harry Varn is wearing such a pleasant smile. Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Smith spent the Fourth in Varnville with the latter's parents. If any of the employees want a good day's sport, come to Colleton, for Mr. John Lucas has the prize hounds for hunting rabbits and raccoons and they need exercise. Mr. Lucas takes them for a promenade each evening. His motto is, "Love me, love my dog." : ■.:/■.'■;}. Hazel Creek Flooring Grading Class.
