  • HAZEL CREEK The Proctor Literary Society made its initial debut recently with the following program: Chairman's Remarks—In which Mr. J. H. Wilson described the objects of the society, the reasons for its existence, and the ease of gaining membership. Singing—"America," "Old Folks at Home," "Old Black Joe," "My Old Kentucky Home"—Everybody. Recitation, "An Italian's View of the Labor Question"—Gov. Wilson. Debate, Resolved, "That movies are more detrimental than beneficial"—Affirmative, T. G. Bonallo, J. W. Burger; negative, B. E. Mansberger, N. D. Moore. Recitation, "The Cremation of Sam MacGee"—N. E. Edwards. Recitation, "What Can a Boy Do?"—Clarence Vance. Reading, "A Song of the Wage Slave"—T. G. Bonallo. Dialogue, "A Negro Sermon"—- A. J. Rickman, assisted by Gov. Wilson, J. W. Burger, N. D. Moore. The fact that quite a number of folks asked for more, and that everyone seemed to enjoy it, indicates that when activities are resumed next fall, they will have a flying start, and a bumper membership. The eloquence and experienced methods of the negative side in the debate was a revelation and won for them the favorable decision of the judges, who were Prof. Henry, Dr. Storie, and Miss West. It also won the envy of the loosing side, which will never be appeased until another contest is staged. This is a snapshot of the Hazel Creek Planing Mill, which was sent to us for publication. We are unable to figure out what the fence is for, but it is probably where they keep their pet alligator. Hazel Creek, please let us know if this is correct. A call from the land proved more attractive than the song of a saw and the whirr of machinery with the result that Dan Lewis, our planing mill filer is now farming somewhere near Richmond, Virginia. The itch which gets into the feet of young fellows around this time of the year, and which can only be allayed by travel, has affected us slightly of late, with the result that those who have escaped the :I> i Mary Gibson and N. E. Edwards, Flooring Grader at Hazel Creek. malady in our planing mill, are enjoying promotions, as follows: Frank Russell—from feeder to gauger, Ben Cable—from head end- matcherman to grader, Roy Crisp—from box puncher to feeder, Robert Hill—from tail end- matcherman to head, Charlie M e d 1 i n — from box puncher to tail end-matcher, Gov. Wilson—from tally boy to box puncher, Wallace Swam—from hustler to box puncher, Pat Stephenson—from strip boy to tally boy. One would think that someone had called for a new deal. Three Hazel Creek Belles: Left to right: India Gibson, Amy Moore, and Mary Gibson. Even though we can't hope to vie with the Asheville papers in describing the event, as we weren't there, nevertheless we must announce that our supply man, W. C. Bearden, has joined the ranks of the benedicts. We've had a lot of respect for a ball player, for usually a good ball player is a good worker; but the other morning one blew into the mill, and with visions of material for our team we hired him and put him to off-bearing the resaw, a kid's job. He lasted till noon, but he must have burned out his bearings, for he didn't show up after dinner; since then, we've been wondering what kind of a ball player he was. Rev. Harvey Stanberry and his father, John S. Stanberry, began a revival meeting Saturday, April 21st, and will continue about a fortnight. There have been several conversions and we are expecting much success. Joe Rickman and Ed. Wilson represented Smoky Mountain Lodge No. 383, I. O. O. F., in the Odd Fellows' convention at Canton, North Carolina, April 21st and 22nd. Charley Cathey and Price West reported a "large" time on their week-end spent in Asheville and Sylva. 32oB'. ^a Joe Rickman, Hazel Creek flooring inspector, and a good one, too. The Londoner was looking over his friend's country estate and was startled by a screeching noise. "H'l say, old top," he asked his friend, "What is that?" "And owl." "My word, old chap, I know that —but what was 'owling?" Ikey returned home from business and found his wife rocking the baby and singing, "By-low, baby, by-low; by-low, baby, by-low." "Dot's right, Beccy, You teach him to buy low, and I'll teach him to sell high." 7"n>e/ve
