^AILpBAGt>G©SS*P^ 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 FRUITFUL "The stork has brought a little peach," The nurse said with an air, "I'm mighty glad," the father said, "He didn't bring a pear." When we learned of the fact that Harry Bayer is the proud father of a fine baby girl, the above verse came to mind. We know 'Mary Ellen" will be a constant source of joy to Harry. Nevertheless, we must print this warning: The Gentle Stork To Harry Bayer Has brought a peach And not a pear. But her doting dad Is still in gear And there's the future Yet, we fear. As a plum she"ll pick With lovelorn sigh, The apple of Some parent's eye. Then to support And receive his care, Instead of a peach He'll have a pair. Mr. B, C. Metcalf, formerly of the Kanawha & Michigan Railway, has joined our Traffic Department as rate clerk. He is a cousin of Mr. Heaton of the Sales Department. Mr. Herman Mills, of the Traffic Department, is terribly forgetful. Mr. Pendleton had neglected to make up his pay on the fifteenth and Herman just happened to think about it two days later and then he wasn't sure. Then a few days later a certain young lady of his acquaintance entered the office and spoke to him, but poor Herman was so engrossed in freight rates and such that he did not even recognize her. He is terribly worried about his condition. Miss Nelle Justice and Miss Marguerite Dearmin, of the Columbus office, spent their vacations together, in a trip East. They had a glorious time and still look as though they "know something good" and won't tell anybody. Also, they seem to be very enterprising collectors of souvenirs, not only bringing back scalps on their belts, etc., but having things following them up by express, parcel post and freight. The last things to arrive, two weeks ago, were two baby grand Wurlitzer pianos. How do they get that way? Clarence Lutz, of the Billing Department, shot a "deer" while on his vaca tion in the north woods, and rumor has it that the inhabitants thereabouts have had no cream in their coffee since. Miss Weichold's father, Charles F. Weichold, has invented a way to overcome dampness in cellars or basements. He was offered $35,000 for the invention which he refused. An account of it in the Pittsburgh Gazette-Times reads as follows: "Most Cellars Are Too Dry Now "An Ohio man has been offered $35,000 for an invention to prevent dampness in cellars, though we had supposed that dryness is something that many do not want." "June" Howard, our stock keeper and "mail man," fell down the steps in the stock room and sprained his ankle not long ago, but has practically recovered now. AN APOLOGY In the Mail Bag Gossip of our October issue some ironical remarks were made about the fact that McClure apparently made an unwarranted number of tallies on export shipments. Later we found that in making these shipments and tallies McClure handled the matter in a high class manner, the extra tallies being due to the necessity of laying out some of the surfaced stock, trimming it and then tallying it back into the shipment. While each additional tally causes extra work in our Foreign Department, they have no objection to extra tallies when necessary or when the best interests of the Company are served by so handling the shipments. Please accept our apology, McClure. From "Ed" Callanan, our genial New York salesman, we have received a letter which reads in part as follows: "I suppose you have heard that Stanley 6. Tracy, our New Jersey salesman, was married on October 12th to Miss Dorothy Hughes, of Brooklyn, N. Y. I attended the wedding in the double capacity of a guest and New York correspondent for your publication. After the marriage ceremony I interviewed the bride and groom and secured their promise that they would furnish me with photographs for "The Hardwood Bark." However, they were both so elated at the time that I doubt very much if they knew what they were talking about, so we may never get the photographs. Stanley is back on the job and they have settled down to house-keeping at 102 North Arlington Avenue, East Orange, N. J. I might add that Stanley is a very good picker." Hazel Creek On October 21st, Proctor Basket Ball Girls played a dashing game against Almond High at Bryson City, score 16 to 9 in favor of the Proctor team. Those who played were; Mary Crisp, center; Winnie Vance, left forward; Hattie Cable, right forward; Alice Birchfield, left guard; May Medford, right guard; and Amy Moore, substitute. Go to it, girls, and keep bringing home the bacon. The history of Maben in last month's issue of the "Bark" proved very interesting, but we are concerned about the uncertainty of its conclusion, as expressed in its concluding paragraph. We are glad to see the Flooring Corporation come to life through C. W. Metzger, and as he and Klammt are the only two we know on the line up, we have no apprehension of having to get out of the ordinary gait in order to meet their requirements, unless they are better at getting orders than they are at providing news. We'd like to know what it was that jolted E. L. Mosby out of his lethargy enough to put Maben back on the map. We would like to give him another injection so that we could get him to write a social latter once in a while. Tell Mr. F. H. LeBleu that we've got a bunch of men in our planing mill crew who can fill his requirements for the man he wants, as outlined in his recent advertisement. If the sleepy city, Philadelphia, would just come to life with some news we'd feel gratified. Surely Fred Stamler can tell us how he always gets in on the money in golf tournaments; and M. E. N. can give us another time schedule to go by. The Rev. W. J. Craddock of Union Hall, Va., has been visiting at the home of his son, G. E. Craddock. While here, he conducted the Sunday evening services in our church, and on his return to Union Hall, he was accompanied by Mrs. G. E. Craddock and children, who are going to spend two months vacation at Fieldvale, Va., the home of her mother, who has been very ill. We hope that Ed remains good, but with a cow, pig, hound dog, and the stoves to look after while she is gone, we very much fear he will lapse. Anyway, he didn't fish or hunt for two Sundays after she left. We have been rather negligent in reporting promotions among our planing mill crew of late; hence we hasten to announce that; N. M. Mcllvaine, student, has been appointed kiln operator in place of F. H. Struble, resigned. eleven

“The Hardwood Bark” was a publication produced “for the employees of the W.M Ritter Lumber Co.” William McClellan Ritter (1864-1952) organized the company in 1901 and, from 1903 until 1926, the company operated on Hazel Creek in Swain County, North Carolina, before moving its operations to Nantahala. Published during the 1920s, the monthly newsletter typically ran to about 25 pages. “The Hardwood Bark” was filled with articles on the Ritter company and the timber industry, but also included local stories. The pages included in this collection were selected because they relate to communities within the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The town of Ritter was near the junction of Hazel Creek and the Little Tennessee River; a sawmill was built at Proctor, about four miles north of Ritter. The town of Ritter has long since been abandoned and Proctor is beneath the waters of Fontana Lake.
