Away back in 1300 Mack Hayes began swamping for the company in the Pineola woods. Having a natural love for horses, he gravitated to barn work, and, but for a short time in the sawmill and again while working for another concern, he has been at barn work at Pineola and Hazel Creek all of the years he has been with the Company. He owns a nice farm on Hazel Creek, and his taste in horse flesh is above average, as can be seen from this picture of himself and his horse, taken in his tobacco patch. MABEN Miss Edith Broyles, one of our school teachers, who had to discontinue teaching on account of illness, is gaining her health again and will soon return from her home to resume her duties. David, the son of Mr. and Mrs. F. H. Hazeltine, is quite ill at this time, having had a severe attack of tonsilitis followed by whooping cough. Among the recent visitors at Maben were Messrs. Horton, Greiner, Hall, Stamler, Yates, C. Ritter, J. A. Taylor and Longyear. Most of these gentlemen promised to sell all the special list items we have at Maben and we are daily expecting orders for those items. Dr. H. W. Wood was forced to give up his practice at Maben on account of ill health, and has been relieved by Dr. F. L. Banks who formerly practiced at Slab Fork, one of our neighboring towns. Inspector G. E. Caldwell loaded 23,000 feet of Chestnut Veneer strips in one car recently. Of course this is not the record, but we feel it is worth mentioning-. The only reason Mr. Caldwell did not load more was that the car was too small. Hazel Creek, please note, and tell us how many veneer strips you have loaded in one car. We note other correspondents sometimes fill up their columns with what has been going on at their Twelve plants in the way of good cuts, srnpments, large cars loaded, etc., etc. We very seldom mention what we are doing, but just keep on doing it—like this: Maben's cut for January was 2,- 084,169 feet; shipments 2,171,649 feet; average cut per day, 77,190 feet, average shipment per day, 76,235 feet. Cut for February was 1,842,048 feet; shipments 1,829,636 feet; average cut per day 76,755 feet; average shipment per day 76,- 235 feet. Weather conditions were such that our loading crews were not able to work full time in either January or February. We are ex- necting to get a good shipment in March and will tell you about it in the next issue of the Bark. The dance given by Maben Dancing Club on Friday evening Feb. 16th at the Community Building was one of the best ever held at Maben, and those attending reported that they had a wonderful time, some forty or more couples being present. Among the out-of-town guests were: Mr. and Mrs. Fred LeBleu, Messrs. H. B. Price, Walter Wright and Carl Crockett, and Misses Ida Crockett and Zada Bailey, of Oxley, W. Va.; Bob Dillon and "Soup" Hash of Otsego, W. Va.; Miss Willie Bailey of Putman, Va.; Miss Geneva Beverly of Princeton, W. Va.; Mr. E. S. Longyear and Mrs. Lester Tucker and son of Beckley, W. Va.; Mr. Shumate and Miss Allen of Glen Rogers; "Fat" Taylor of Welch; Robert Ryan of Amigo; and Mrs. Neil Gilbert of Milam Camp. Speaking of salesmanship, Ed. Longyear, while at Maben attending the dance, sold five cars of lumber before the dance started. We regret to report the death of Mack Hash, Jr., the five months old son of Mr. and Mrs. Mack Hash. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. H. M. Sturm and interment was made in Maben Cemetery, Ritter Lodge No. 361, I. O. O. F. having charge. A series of revival services were started at Maben Union Church Sunday, February 18th, conducted by our pastor Rev. H. M. Sturm, who is assited by Rev. Mullens from Charleston, W. Va. A great deal of good is being derived from these meetings. Mrs. E. R. Pryor gave a very delightful party on Friday night, February 23rd, in honor of her daughter Louise, the occasion being Miss Louise's fourteenth birthday. In addition to her two brothers Edward Jr. and Harold, about 20 of her young friends were present to help her celebrate, and it is needless to state that they all had an enjoyable time. Louise received quite a number of pretty and valuable presents with which she was quite elated. The following persons attended: Misses Katherine Hartley, Leona Caldwell, Gladys Goode, Willie Roberts, Edith Shrader, Hazel Pryor, Stella McGraw, Nellie Hall, Charlotte Jones; and- Messrs. Harold V. Mosby, Russell Gwinn, Creamer Caldwell, Charles Dam- eron, Delmas Caldwell, Alton Caldwell, Clifford Hartley, Ray Smith and Lee Hodson. The evening was spent in playing games, singing and other amusements and refreshments consisting of ice cream, cake and hot chocolate were served. The party ended about midnight and all present expressed themselves as having had a splendid time. 0 Lord, deliver me, i pray, from herds that feel that they was ment, to do the grate big things in life—to be the dollar, not the cent, the fellows who are appt to feel that jobs whitch they shood ot to do are far beneeth there mitey class, & pass the bukk, to me, & you. but give me, Lord, the gi who thinks he aint too good to do his part, & bukkles into evry job—& does his best, with all his hart, the praktiss that this herd will get in doing things that may be small, will make him reddy for the job that the uther berd cant tutch at all.

“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.
