^lAIL^BAG^GOSS+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 Miss Nelle Justice and Miss Marguerite Dearmin complimented Mrs. Allen Tupper Nye (Isabella Hurl- butt) a recent bride, with a miscellaneous shower at Lazarus. The following were invited: The Misses Kathryn Bowen, Geneva Brown, Anna Nangle, Florence Grimm, Countess Taylor, Ruth Dowd, Laura Brundige, Ruth Royer, Marie Randall, Caroline Leach, Fern Rayburn, Nettie Kiely, Aurelia Kennedy, Bertha Weichold, Gaie Yenrick, Geral- dine Sargent, Katherine Reardon, Carrie Athey, Agnes Reinhard, Nelle Brummelle, Mary Marsh, Mrs. John Stuhlfauth, Mrs. W. M. Deems, Mrs. Paul Steen, Mrs. Grace Col- burn, Mrs. C. W. Metzger, Mrs. Teresa Kalkosch, and Mrs. Nye. Spring is here! The other day we saw Mr. Heaton and Miss Athey pursuing a poor little fly with a pair of "swatters." AIN'T NO USE A FUSSIN' Ain't no use a fussin' over wordly ills; Ain't no use frettin' over dollar bills. If you done lose all your money, Now I know it ain't so funny, But you've done lost a lot o' trouble, too. Ain't no use a fussin' over your repute; Ain't no use a wearin' an upturned snoot. If you done lose all your glory, Why you shouldn't feel so sorry, 'Cause you've done lost a lot o' envy, too. Ain't no use a fussin' over youthful grace; Ain't no use a frettin' over wrinkles in your face. If you done lose all your beauty, Why I'll tell you—it's my duty— You'll have lost a lot o' egotism, too. So it ain't no use a fussin' over what you lose; Ain't no use a frettin' till you get the blues. If you done lose somethin' nice, Then you've done lost somethin' twice, For you've lost a lot o' worry, too. Laura Brundisre, Order Clerk in the Columbus Office, established a record for this city for a woman bowler, when she bowled 231 on the evening of March 5th. In her record game, which was rolled without a miss, she had six strikes and four spares. S. C. TAYLOR PROMOTED "Sid" Taylor, who has been handling the Western Pennsylvania sales territory, has been promoted. He goes to Boston this month to fill the position of salesman in that territory, succeeding Mr. Geo. O. Plumer, who has left the service of the Company. LONDON, ENGLAND The writer notes with pleasure the kind remarks of some of his good friends at Maben, presumably inserted by Ed. Mosby. Kindly note, however, we will endeavor to sell more of the Maben stock and so reduce your Inventory troubles. Keep your grades up and your prices down, and apply prohibition to the wood by shipping it "DRY." The pictures of Maben are very interesting; but it seems a shame that Buck Weaver should have a charming "Assistant Inspector" while R. 0. Klepfer has to do without—. Never mind, Klep! We note Cupid is still very busy in the States, and would ask S. C. Taylor and Christy Metzger to accept heartiest congratulations from London. —B. L. H. Simpson. HAZEL CREEK The intense cold spell we are having has done much to stop the spread of "flu" and colds, thus giving Doc Storie a chance to catch up on sleep, as well as take life a little easier than he has been able to for the past three months. It was quite natural for folks to assume that he was fixiner to add a room to his house, when they saw Art Vance pushing a truck of lumber in that direction on the morning that the stork presented him with twins, a boy and a girl. But investigation revealed that he was just going to put a new ceiling in his kitchen. We have known planing mills to be penalized for the tardy arrival at Columbus of ret>or+s which the mills had nothing to do with compiling, and as it was near the middle of February before the December flooring production report came out from headquarters, we have been wondering what penalty we can inflict upon them. What say, you, Beaver and McHhrre? You have suffered, too. Let's reduce them 15 per cent, in our esteem. Mr. J. B. Fullerton spent about a counle of weeks (and a lot of his dough) with us recently, introduc ing Mr. B. E. Mansburger, our new kiln operator, to his charge here. Such is the influence of an expert, that even the weather was dry during Blaine's sojourn. Since reading the parody on "Dangerous Dan McGrew", we've been wondering whether it was intention or accident that prompted the Sales Department to put the H. W. K. J. H. in that oasis Montreal. And say, didn't M. E. N. play a "jag time tune" after such a prolonged silence? Alas, has poor Maben lost her speech as well as the remainder of her early history. If our school doesn't acquire all the fixin's that most city schools have, it won't be from lack of effort on the part of the faculty and pupils. First it was a play which ran two successful nights, and next it was a box supper, both of which netted good returns with which to purchase some extra school equipment. Miss Edwina Bryson gave a "tacky party" at the home of her sister, Mrs. Troy Sheffield. The costumes were all so excellent that the judges had difficulty in deciding which ones merited the prizes, however, after several games had been played and refreshments served, the prizes were given to Miss Winnie Vance and Mr. Albert Rickman. Smoky Mountain lodge, No. 383, I. O. O. F. has every reason to be proud of its achievements. Six new members have been elected to "ride the goat" since the beginning of the new year. Rev. Otie Vance was all smiles on the morning of February 12th. The reason: twins, Mary and Harry. "Dinty" Moore's slogan is: "You can't trim parquetry and think of your girl at the same time." His proof is a cut thumb. Speaking of absent mindedness, ask Ed Wilson what became of his coat. Sunday night, February 18th, while crossing the mountain to Proctor, Seymour Crisp, one of our box punchers, fell and fractured his skull and died from the effects early Monday morning. The body was taken to Stecoah for burial. He is survived by four children and a number of relatives. 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.
