  • ^lAlli-BAG^GOSStP? 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 OFFICE One of the Columbus Office stenographers reports that as she was coming to work one morning a few weeks ago, she was accosted by a man on the street. He seemed to have suddenly awakened from a very pre-occupied state. "You are just the girl I am looking for," he started. By this time she was interested and expecting almost anything. What he said next was "Take a telegram." She fished an old receipt and a pencil out of he? purse and he dictated a request for a hotel reservation in another town, moving toward the inter- urban station as he talked. We call this ubiquitous service. At any rate, one "steno" was on the spot at the "Weichological" moment. Ask C. N. G. One of our very pretty, (we hope that will gain forgiveness) stenographers handed in something for publication about the editor hurrying to work in his car and going around a corner on two wheels, just missing a truck, nipping the tail of a yellow dog, and putting to flight some pedestrians (including said stenog) who were in the street. She made some other remarks about the speed at which the human race is traveling, etc. We have no recollection of this incident, so we resorted to our editorial privilege of "blue- penciling" the article as being unsubstantiated by proof. We will ask the young lady, however, to obey the warning given below: "As you walk and as you 'fliv.' Look both ways at once and try to live." Clarence Lutz recently made a trip in his "Baby Lincoln" from Chillicothe to Columbus. Upon his arrival in Columbus he discovered that he had lost en route his spare tire, tire carrier, auto (excuse us) "flivver" license, and tail light. "W. E." says if he only had gone a few miles further he might have lost everything but his front wheels without realizing it. HAZEL CREEK Our planing mill foreman, Mr. T. G. Bonallo, has been transferred to Maben to take a similar position there. He is a good scout and we certainly are sorry to lose him. Mr. Bonallo's position has been very ably filled by Mr. Charlie Pendleton, of Beaver. It seems that transfers are the order of the day at Proctor, for our Superintendent, Mr. J. W. Fisher, has also been transferred. After a trip to Colleton and Columbus with Mr. E. E. Ritter, he will take up his new duties as salesman in the High Point territory. His place here has been filled by Mr. E. B. McCollum. Joe Rickman, Robert Hill, and John Burger went to the river to take a swim one Sunday and they were gone two days. Everyone was worried and a searching party was just organized when they were seen coming slowly up the creek. They said that they went to Che- oah Dam, but from a conversation overheard about some girls, they must have wandered from the path and never arrived at the intended destination. Mrs. J. T. Eennett is visiting her mother near Murphy. Mr. and Mrs. H. D. Franklin have been spending a couple of weeks visiting in Watagua County. The many friends of Mrs. J. L. Hayes will be delighted to learn that she is recovering from her recent operation at the hospital in Asheville. Evidently Ed. Craddock's "better half" must bs staying at home this summer, for we haven't seen Ed fishing a single Sunday. Quite a number of men are attending the flooring grading classes held at the planing mill on Sunday mornings. From the heated arguments we hear in passing, there must be quite a bit of interest. Miss Ethel Vance gave a birthday party at the home of her parents, Rev. and Mrs. R. O. Vance. A large number of her friends were present to wish her a happy birthday. Several interesting games were played and when the cake was cut each guest was asked to guess what was in it. When told that it had a fish-hook in it, Joe Rickman turned pale and asked, "Does it have a line attached ? " The Baraca Class of the Hazel Creek Sunday School gave a banquet Friday night. A luncheon was served and a most interesting address delivered by Rev. Mr. Stu- kenbrok, of Bryson City. Ye scribe heard E. E. Ritter and Jack Bryant in a heated conversation as follows: Jack: "Why, one day here we sawed a log that was so big we had to cut away part of the wall to get it into the mill and it took us nine and one-half hours to saw it!" E. E.: "Pshaw, man, that's (1) The Hazel Creek edition of the Bonallo family, listening to the news that he has to leave his birthplace. (2) This shows how the news affected him. Thirte
