  • HAZEL CREEK It seems that 16,786 feet is going to be the 1922 record for planing mill production in ten hours, for we have been running beech, birch and maple this month, and in spite of all our efforts, we have not been able to beat our oak run of August 4; however, we have made an average daily run of slightly over 14,000 feet, and unless we hear of anything to the contrary from some other source, we will lay claim to this additional record; and as the year is so nearly spent, we feel confident that you will concede to us the further honor of maintaining our own trumpeter. Mr. C. H. Stewart (Dad) had the misfortune to fall through a hole in the dock, and has been confined to the house for almost a month. He is greatly missed from the mill and the boys all hope to have him back on the job soon. Mr. B. R. Thurman paid us a visit recently, with one of his customers. They visited every department of the plant except Ed. Queen's. Judging from the number of traveling men that visit Hazel Creek, it would seem that the store would never run short of anything. Mr. Black, our attorney at Bry- son City, paid us a business visit recently, and looked up the prospects of obtaining a carload of flooring for the new high school in his city. If there were no other indications that winter was approaching, the shrinkage in hog census would be sufficient. "A month is long enough for any man to be alone," says Ed, as he left here for Fieldale, Va., to bring back Mrs. Craddock and family. That the recently organized La- Ralph Crisp, Hazel Creek, flooring grader, and Ethel Queen. Why the smiles and flowers? -"-MIS ** J. H. Wilson and Guy Sales, our shed men, who are trucking and piling an average of I 4,000 feet per day. Yet Mr. Wilson occasionally finds time to marry a couple in the course of a day. dies' Club is a live wire one, is conclusively proved by the Hallowe'en entertainment they recently staged and the fund they are raising to purchase a piano for the Community building. We shouldn't be at all surprised if they ran another good entertainment for Christmas. Mr. and Mrs. Dan Lewis' honeymoon ended with lots of noise, ringing of bells, and saws, Mrs. Lewis riding in the little red wagon and Dan on a rail. After the ride Dan gave a soap box speech and a grand treat to the crowd. Mrs. Charley Wilson, on seeing Arthur Watkins getting wood the other day, ran over to see if Mrs. Watkins was sick. COLLETON Mrs. Googe of Savannah, Georgia, spent several days with her daughter, Mrs. G. W. Patrick. Mrs. J. C. Weeks and children spent the week-end with her sister at Mishawville, S. C. The quail season opened on Thanksgiving Day and our mighty Nimrods, taking advantage of the opportunity, bagged a nice lot of game. Our machinist, J. F. Lucas, was operated on for appendicitis at the Esdorn Infirmary. We are glad to report that he is getting along nicely. Mrs. B. F. Smith and Mrs. Q. W. Patrick were shopping in Wal- terboro recently. Mrs. A. J. Weeks was called to Holly Mill on account of the death of her cousin. Our veteran payroll clerk, Bob Adams, spent a few days in Charleston with the "eye specialist." But to be fair to Bob, he was accompanied by his little daughter, Lucile, who is having her eyes treated. Among those who attended the County Fair at Walterboro were Mr. and Mrs. R. B. Ramsey, Mr. and Mrs. R. E. Manning and children, Mr. and Mrs. H. O. Wynne and children, Mr. J. W. Ramsey and children, Mr. and Mrs. H. E. Troutman and son, Misses Irene Godwin and Ida Warren, Mr. E. A. Godwin, Mr. R. W. Adams and daughter and Mrs. R. H. Saterwhite and children. Born to Mr. and Mrs. D. R. Yates, a daughter, Doris Ruth. Born to Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Sanders, a son. We regret very much to learn of the death of Mrs. E. A. Godwin, formerly Miss Reba Martin, daughter of Mr. J. E. Martin. She leaves besides her husband and infant son, her father, three sisters, Mrs. W. F. Grayson and Miss Virlie Martin of Ehrhardt, and Mrs. J. L. O'Quinn of Colleton, and several brothers. Mr. W. H. Scott of Thayer's Manufacturing Company, with his wife and children, visited friends at Colleton. They were accompanied by Mrs. Polk and her little daughter. We are making splendid progress with our new camp, having the houses all practically completed, and expecting to move our woods crew by January 1st. Our division superintendent, Mr. E. E. Ritter, spent a few days with us en route to the hunting club in Florida. Watch out, boys, for some "stray shots" on his return. fifteen
