  • MAIL BAG GOSSIP News and Personals from 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 Hardy Winston Bell, the five-year- old son of Mr. and Mrs. Landon C. Bell, was killed by an automobile while visiting his grandmother in Asheville, North Carolina. Funeral services were held at their home in Grandview and the body was interned at Greenlawn, July 26, 1922. Little Winston had a way of creeping right into your heart and all who knew him loved him dearly. The family have our deepest sympathy . Twenty-seven girls working in one office and not one with bobbed hair! An unusual situation in this day and age, we assure you, and one which reflects much credit on the Columbus Office force. We have no fault to find with the girl, especially the little girl, who bobs her hair, yet we can't help admiring the common-sense and modesty which restrains our girls from shearing off their locks in order to follow the fleeting fashions. Mr. W. G. Davis, our Office Manager, either has a very highly prized umbrella or else he entertains some unflattering opinions about us, for he has been keeping his umbrella in the burglar proof vault. His worst suspicions apparently are confirmed, because we see the following notice posted on our bulletin board: "Party who borrowed an umbrella out of the vault will please return same immediately.—Office Manager. Who's Next? In April W. F. Smith announced the arrival of a baby boy at his house. In May, O. Burlingame came across with a new daughter. In June, W. G. Davis kicked in with a new son. And on July 20th our Purchasing Agent, Mr. J. S. Meyers was receiving congratulations on the completion of a contract with our old friend the Stork, for a nine and one-half pound boy, "Edward Eugene." Many happy returns, etc., Jack! There is someone in every organization to whom the boss turns when he wants something done right. eight Never kick a man when he's down: he may get up and whale the stuffin' outa you. "b * Bachelor Caller (entertaining the baby): "Oh! I say, come here a moment. Do you notice any change in the baby?" Anxious Mother: "No, what happened ?'' Bachelor Caller: "He just swallowed a dime." ■b "b Most of the shadows that cross our path through life are caused by standing in our own light. "b "b Hazel Creek There's no use denying that Hazel Creek is hard to get too, but as a beauty spot, summer resort, and fishing location, it's well worth the ordeal of getting there, and we can't understand, why it is not more popular than it is among the Columbus Office crowd Maybe they are influenced by the experiences some have had coming up from Ritter when Bearden went to meet them with the "Casey Jones" car. However, if they time their arrival on train days, they need have no apprehension on that account. No, Dr. Stone has not retired; its his scorekeeper who has fallen out of the game. Mr. C. R. Neal has returned to us as planing mill machinist, and has brought Mrs. Neal and family with him. We are glad to have them back amongst us. We regret having lost Mr. W. P. Elliot and family, who have gone to Mars Hill, where Mr. Elliot is studying for the ministry. The entire community wishes him Godspeed in his new undertaking. Our deepest heartfelt sympathy goes out to Mrs. L. T. Russell, in the sudden distressing loss of her husband, who died on his way to take up a school teaching appointment. Mr. A. D. Carson was here recently and went away smiling, so we assume things must have been satisfactory from his viewpoint. Mr. A. W. Agee was here also, and there were no dark shadows around his countenance, so far as we could see. We guess he was satisfied. Mr. Carroll just came in, so we won't say much about him till he's been here a while. "b "b Always look on the bright side, and if there is no bright side polish up the dark one. Colleton Mr. F. C Brass, Superintendent at Colleton, and one of his Cypress boards, 32 inches wide. Mrs. D. R. Yates is visiting her sister, Mrs. L. A. Grayson in Hardee- ville. We are glad to learn that Mrs. R. L. Manning is improving. She has been in the Clara Esdorn Infirmary since Tuesday. Our Superintendent, Mr. Brass, has returned from a vacation to his home in Muncy, Pa. He returned three days later than he anticipated. Anyone wanting to know where he spent those three days, please communicate with Mr. R. W. Adams. Mr. Harry Varn spent a delightful vacation with his sister in Savannah, Ga., and friends in Charleston, S. C. Miss Alice Carlton is away on a vacation. Mrs. A. J. Weeks and little son, A. J., Jr., are visiting her sister, Mr. H. Williams at Proctor. Little Donald and Harold Sack, of Savannah, Ga., have been visiting their aunt, Mrs. B. F. Smith. Miss Irene Godwin spent the week end with Miss Verlie Martin in Ehrhardt. Mr. and Mrs. Dewitt Smith, of Charleston, are visiting Mrs. H. 0. Wynne.
