  • HAZEL CREEK—(Concluded). When it comes to loading cars, we are willing to concede all the honors to Lester Foster at McClure Planing Mill, for he can put more lumber in a car than anyone we ever knew, and he is well entitled to the honor for his performance with Chestnut Veneer Strips. A stranger blew into our mill the other da3r. He was slow in speed and gait, and made a bad impression, but he told us he was working his way through college, and touched our weak spot first try, and we gave him a job to help out in the laudable ambition. The second day he overslept and did not show up until noon. The fourth day he was five minutes late, so we decided he must be qualifying for a position in a bank, and directed him to new pastures. Since then we've been wondering just how far such a fellow will advance in life if he does succeed in picking up a stock of knowledge. On September the twelfth, the young people gave a shower for Mr. and Mrs. Wat kins in their new home. In the early part of the evening, the boys promenaded around with Mr. Watkins on a rail and the ladies entertained Mrs. Watkins with a joy ride in the little red wagon. Afterwards, the guests further enjoyed themselves in a good old fashioned square dance at the Community Building. Refreshments were served followed by a water melon eating contest, Eddie Wilson carrying off the prize. Among the many presents was a rolling pin. Although we do not think that they have had any serious disagreement, Mr. Watkins is carrying a big knot over his left eye which looks mighty suspicious. Miss Amy Moore gave a birthday party at her sister's, Mrs. Dock Hall, on September 22nd. The guests had a jolly good time playing such games as winkum, thimble, thunderbolt and ^ ft::„... .'•.. 3"ft, ";:« v ::",. ,->,.. ~"5P" "" ' -ft-'i.'

When the refreshments were served, Norman Edwards sprang to his feet with a smile all over his face, crying, "Girls, let me see whose finger this ring will fit." He had found the ring in his cake which signified that he was the first to be married among the lot and his bride was to be the lady that the ring fitted. You should have seen Ralph Crisp grab his girl's hands, and the rest of the boys play safety first. If we are not mistaken Miss Moore was wearing that ring the following Sunday. * *> Colleton How is this for a good shipment, especially when cars are so scarce? We loaded 80 cars at Colleton this month and shipped 1,404,000 feet board measure. How many of the operations can report a better shipment? Our school has opened with Mrs. Ruth V. Jones as Principal. The colored school has also opened, Sarah McTeer being the teacher. Peter Jones, blacksmith, also colored magazine correspondent, is away for a short vacation. This is the first time he has been away since he came here to work several years ago, and it isn't often that he lays off for even one day. The Colleton people have recently enjoyed a series of sermons delivered by Rev. J. M. Kyser. We regret very much to learn that Rev. Kiser has accepted a position in a new field. We are sorry to lose him and his family. Mr. and Mrs. L. A. Grayson, of Hardeville, S. C, and Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Grayson and children, of Ehr- hardt, were visitors at Colleton in September. The stork paid a visit to the home of Mr. and Mrs. H. R. Warren on September 21st and left a fine boy. Miss Tiney Davis, who has been seriously ill, is rapidly improving. Any of the employees of the Ritter operations who are interested in the game of checkers are invited to Colleton. R. R. Ritter and R. W. Adams are now holding the blue ribbon, with E. H. Troutman and J. F. Newman coming in as second. However, we feel a little hesitancy in awarding the ribbon to said Ritter and Adams, as Troutman and Newman take time to attend Sunday School; therefore they do not get quite as much practice as the others. The Editor's opinion on this would be appreciated. [The Editor, after an experience he had a few years ago in Washington, does not consider himself an authority on checkers. He and several others sat in the lobby of the Y. M. C. A. one evening playing checkers, when in came a blind man, who offered to play any or all of us. We accepted his challenge and seven of us played him. We had seven checker boards with numbered squares. The blind man sat in the middle and played the seven games simultaneously, his opponents calling aloud to him the moves they were making and he telling them how to move his men. The blind man won all seven games. Ye Editor never reached the King Row—and this is why he has been modest ever since about his checker playing ability—if any.] Among those that attended the camp meeting at Indian Field were Miss Glen Smith, Miss Ida Warren, and Messrs. Harry Varn and C. H. Weeks. Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Smith, Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Patrick and little son, motored to Hampton, S. C, last Sunday, Mrs. A. J. Weeks and son A. J., Jr., have returned from a visit to the former's sister,'Mrs. H. O. Williams, of Proctor, N. C. Mr. C. N. Wynne, of Havelock, N.C., has accepted a position as assistant yard foreman. Little Miss Catherine Finley, of Ehrhardt, S. C, was the guest of Misses Catherine and Lois Williams. seven
