  • HAZEL CREEK A regular "sport" was A. D. C. At the opening dance of the M. D. C. Found a partner so sweet That he started to eat,— If you want to know what, ask S. L. C. Our Community Club elected a brand new set of officers for 1923, as follows: President—Mr. G. M. Caldwell. Vice-President—Mr. Ed. Wilson. Secretary-Treasurer—Mr. Price West. Educational and Relgious—Rev. J. H. Wilson. Civic Betterment and Hygiene— Dr. Storie. Entertainment and Athletics—• Mr. Arthur Danielson. It falls to the lot of few Presidents to be surrounded by such a well qualified cabinet, as mentioned above, and we feel certain that when each of these officers gets to functioning in his respective sphere, much go"d is going to develop for the community. The Rev. W. P. Elliott of Mars Hill, N. C, spent a few days of the Christmas holiday term at the home of his daughter, Mrs. G. C. Carter, and visiting around among his many friends here. Miss Ruby Wilson and Miss Lena Neal were also among home folks here for the holidays recently. We've had more than our share of sickness on Hazel Creek this winter: between colds anH "fl--" there's not many who have escaped the attentions of Doc Storie. "There's one in every office" (or plant); that is, a fellow who can always lend one fifty cents or a dollar, or can be depended upon to have change for a five or ten in his wallet. Dan Lewis, our filer, used to be the dependable standby in our planing mill, but last week we tried him on change for a five spot, and we were astonished to hear him say he "didn't have a cent." Then we got to thinking a little and our heart went out to him. "One touch of marriage makes all men kin." Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Weaver have returned to our town from Franklin. Two more live wires to help us alom?, as witness Mrs. Weaver's salesmanship of chances on the patchwork bed cover, wrought by the members of the Ladies' Club, which was won by Tip Calhoun. Our community was saddened early in January by the death of Widow Payne, who has hoed a hard vc!w fo.r the past two years; crippled with rheumatism, yet striving to support a family of nine youna: children, only two or whom were able to contribute to the support of the household. There is more than sympathy needed for the little ones that are left. Messrs. S. L. Calfee and A. D. Carson stopped off between trains early last month; (we notice other correspondents fill up space with items such as this) but if they don't stay longer the next time they come here, we'll be doggoned if we will tell anyone about them again. We always thought that we had an all-sufficient planing mill here, but our tails went down on the first day of the year when, after two hours running, our fan tore up. Things looked darned blue, and among the visitors who came to sympathize, was Homer Williams, the plant machinist. One fan was smashed beyond repair and the other had a blade broken off. Homer said, "Bring it to the shop, I'll fix it." He cut off a blade opposite the broken one, and balanced the fan, then dug up an old fan that had been discarded from the planing mill, to replace the worthless fan, and had us running on the 3rd. We are getting as good service out of our fan now as we ever did, even though it is two blades shy, and our hat is off to Homer for this lesson on fanology. which we pass along that some other fellow may profit by it also. Thank you, Mr. Frankeberger; ., ou tell it to 'em! I've grown tired. That threatened cut in the _T ._, * 1- ±. J. . ' J . L-ireu. iiiat mreaieiieu cut in inn editorial salary ought to jar 'em up. The only incongruous feature in the entertainment which was held in the Community Building recently, was the fact that "The Little Clodhopper" was the tallest member in the cast of the play of that name, which was staged by the pupils of the upper grades of our school. However, everyone who saw the play enjoyed it, and we hope to see more of such good stuff. We've had the hall all the time, we've just got the piano, and it has been demonstrated that we have the talent, so why let any of them go to rust? In the latter part of January, our Baptist Youna; People's Union held their quarterly social in the Odd Fellows Hall. Group I, which was commanded by Mr. B. Gilland, made the best record in general proficiency during the last quarter of 1922 and the members of this group were the sruests of Groups II III, and IV. Refreshments were served and many games played. On January 26th, just about a week, after his eightieth birthday, one of the real old time settlers of Hazel Creek, Mr. J. R. Bradshaw, massed into the Great Beyond. He had a vast circle of friends among the mountain people. He leaves to mourn his loss over 75 grandchildren, 25 great grandchildren and one great great grandchild. When it comes to writing it, ask Ralph Crisp the difference between fifty cents and five dollars. When it comes to spending it, ask the preacher. A lot of folks are wondering whether it was the job or the girl that proved the greatest attraction in bringing A. J. Rickman back to Hazel Creek. REVERSIBLY SPEAKING I resolve: Not to flirt—if my wife is looking. Not to swear—when the minister's near. Not to drink—when I don't want it. Not to gamble—except when I see a good chance to- win. Not to smoke—at church. Not to lose my temper—if things go my way. Not to lie—if the truth suits my purpose better. Not to cheat—if I can win easily without it. Not to steal—if I have all I want. Not to attend the theater—when there's a moral play. Not to run in debt—except for food, clothes, pleasure, etc. Not to exceed the speed limit— when my car is missing. Not to be a grouch—when I am alone. Not to break the game laws— except when hunting. Not to brag—except when talking about myself. Not to envy anyone—except the lucky guys. Not to find fault with my wife's cooking—only at mealtime. Not to oversleep—except in the mornings. Not to worry—if I have no trouble. I am resolved not to write any more resolutions—till next year. —The National News. WHAT I WOULD RATHER BE I'd rather be a Could Be, If I cannot be an Are; For a Could Be is a May Be, With a chance of touching par. I'd rather be a Has Been Than a Might Have Been, by far; For a Might Be is a Hasn't Been But a Has was once an Are! Also an Are is Is and Am; A Was was all of these; So I'd rather be a Has Been Then a Hasn't, if you please. Thirte
