  • HAZEL CREEK — (Concluded) Jack Stewart, tallyman, has been promoted to box puncher in place of Roy Crisp, who has been made grader in place of N. E. Edwards, who is on a long vacation. R. T. Hill was promoted from trim sawyer to tail endmatcher man in place of Ben Cable, who has gone on the head endmatcher in place of Ralph Crisp, who has been made flooring inspector. With a cut of over 30,000 feet and shipments of over 400,000 and October not yet ended at the time this was written, it is very apparent that the changes have not impaired our efficiency, and we all took one Saturday afternoon off again this month, with pay to all full time men. The most cussable thing of the four million cussable things that plague a planing mill man's life is to have a first class crew "rearin' to go" on a cool morning, and then be held up for lack of steam to turn the engine. Jim Glenn, our engineer, doesn't cuss, but you should have heard Charlie Neal and ourselves make up for Jim. The hearty greetings and genuine welcomes which everybody on Hazel Creek gave Doctor Storie on his return from a month's treatment for rheumatism at Hot Springs, Arkansas, surely must have compensated him for any discomforts he might have experienced there. We are willing to wager that he is the most popular man on the Creek, particularly among the ladies. We often wondered why our filer, Dan Lewis, a Virginian, spoke so highly of Pennsylvania: and the reason has just been revealed in a neat little wedding announcement card from Chester, Pa., which reads in part: " Rachel Hill Spencer to Daniel Scott Lewis, on Wednesday, October 18th ." From some whispered plottings we have overheard among the boys, we very much fear that on his return, Daniel will be among the lions. We heard that the Ladies' Club of Hazel Creek had been reorganized under the presidency of Mrs. C. R. Neal, but as our better half and source of information upon such topics has been a little under the weather lately, we can't furnish fuller details of its work; but we'd like to make a suggestion, that the said club appoint an official reporter to the "Bark." Beaver On the 13th of October, Mr. Robertson and Mr. LeBleu gave a dance at the Club, music being furnished by the Lindemann Orchestra. The hall was tastefully decorated with autumn leaves, and about forty-eight couples danced to the splendid music furnished by these artists until two in the morning and all report a grand time. twelve IH VIEWS FROM HAZEL CREEK 1.

Back row, left to right: "Dinty" Moore, "Hardwood Bark" Corre spondent who grades parquetry in his spare time; Hencie Potts, tier and box puncher. Front row, left to right: Charlie Neal, machinist; Dan Lewis, filer; Norman Edwards, grader; Roy Crisp, puncher; Ben Cable, end matcher; and W. C. Bearden, supply man, who divides his time between sitting on the safety valve of our expense account and wrecking stills and good "licker." Mr. B. L. Meyers, formerly of Fremont and Fitzpatrick, now is one of the busy clerks at our Beaver store, taking the place vacated by Mr. S. C. Peterson, who resigned to go back to his railroad work. Mr. Carl Crockett enjoyed a few hours here with friends while on his way to Charleston to witness the football game between his school, Washington and Lee, and the West Virginia State University.
