  • January, 1922 11 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.

Everyone seems to have taken up bowling as a recreation. Did you know that we have a representative team in The Athletic Club League? Well, we have and it is giving a good account of itself. The team is composed of the following: O. Burlingame (Capt.), C. B. Weakley, W. E. Weakley, J. W. Mayhew, L. C. Bell, C. E. Elsass, and R. B. Rigdon. Bowling, however, is not confined alone to the masculine, but quite a few of the young ladies are members of teams in the Girls Athletic Club leagues. If you don't believe they can bowl, just challenge any of the following: Misses Brundige, Dowd, Brown, Athey, Weichold, Reinhart or Sargent. Miss Athey has set a record of 193 in a regular league game, while Miss Brundige scored 218 in a practice game, and actually bowled the sleeve out of her shirtwaist. Mr. and Mrs. P. H.

We heard a man say the other day that wood will last forever if kept well painted, which would seem to indicate that a lot of girls he knew would live indefinitely. *• "b HAZEL CREEK. The ladies of the Club House entertained Monday night, December 26th, in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Glen Andrews, who left for McClure, Virginia. Misses Grace Wilson and Eleanor Marshall were home from their school duties at Sylva Collegiate Institute and spent the Holidays with their respective parents.

The last census shows North Carolina leading all States in the Union in birth rate, and Swain County at the head of the North Carolina's County list; and Pourneys Township, our own township, leading all.

Ritter's Christmas to the children, disclosed the fact that there were 435 children between the ages of one and fourteen years. During the yen years in which Dr. Storie has been located at Hazel Creek, he has officiated at the births of 685 babies. Mr. E. E.

We are all well pleased to know that we are again to receive The Hardwood Bark, as we missed the little book very much. * *> BEAVER. The mill started January 2d after a shut-down of over one year.
