Mr. and Mrs. A. P. Williams have been called to Oliver, Georgia, .on account of the serious illness of ;Mrs. Williams' mother. A Mighty Hunter The son of Mr. J. O. Weeks, Colleton's ^Voods Superintendent. This little bundle of Sunshine is Mr. Weeks' daughter. Jim: "Wot's the best way to teach a girl to swim?" John: "Well, you want to take her gently by the hand, lead her gently into the water, put your arm ground her waist, and—" Jim: "Cut it out. It's me sister." John: "Oh, push her in." —Life. F. W. Mr. Tittle is Hazel Creek's motor car operator. He was born in Haywood County, near Waynesville, N. C, in 1886. While a boy of seven or eight years he lost his hearing after an attack of hay fever. He was educated at the North Carolina School for the deaf at Morgan- ton. He began work for the W. M. Ritter Lumber Company at Proctor in 1912, in the planing mill and dimension mill and later worked on the electrical system and the fire protection system. He now is the motor car engineer, making fre- TITTLE quent trips between Proctor and Bushnell over the Smoky Mountain and Carolina & Tennessee Southern Railways. He has traveled over ten thousand miles with the motor cars in the past nine years, and has had no serious accidents. He practices "safety first" all of the time and is justly proud of his proficiency as an engineer. He is always ready to go, rain or shine, and in spite of his handicaps of deafness and inability to speak, he is able to "deliver the goods" promptly and cheerfully. HAZEL CREEK Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Beardon on returning from their honeymoon found the whole of Proctor awaiting them. Men, women and children were gathered at the barber shop to see Beardon take the ride he had never taken before. They were placed in the little red wagon and drawn up and down the railroad track, then to the Company store where we all received a treat. While we drank to the health of the bride and groom, the groom mounted the counter and gave a speech. Proctor school closed with a three night entertainment. The first night was a recitation contest in which nine young girls took part. Bertha Danielson took the first prize by a small margin. On the second night we had recitations, singing, and a negro minstrel, given by the primary grades. The third night a play was given by the eighth and ninth grades, called "Where East Meets West," a western drama. The programs were well rendered and were a credit to the faculty of this school, who spent much time and energy in the preparation for the different events. The stork recently paid a visit to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Watkins and left them a seven- pound baby girl, who has been named Norma Lee. The average enrollment of the Proctor School for the year was 138 and the average attendance 121. Misses Ruby Hayes, Nina Hayes, and Faye Cole, and Messrs. Roby Franklin, Gordon Bonallo, Wayne Ballow, and Clarence Bal- low, were neither tardy nor absent the entire year. We didn't much mind the Editor asking if we kept a pet alligator in our canna patch; one can expect such things from a "city feller," but we sure needed a place to keep our goat, when the boys got to asking us the morning after the "Bark" arrived in town, if we'd fed our alligator. Can it be possible? "That's what killed the cat," and it does seem strange that just two days after his query appeared rn the "Bark," the editor entered town surreptitiously in the dead of night and was observed investigating the canna bed in the planing mill- yard, at sun up. Gosh! we thought the wife was curious, but this has her beat, and even thirteen hours in getting from Asheville to Proctor, did not dampen the ardor of his curiosity. What between "spring fever," vaccination, (typhoid and small- Ten

“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.
