Craddock, another real Old Timer, engaged in one of the most cheering jobs that falls to the lot of a planing mill man—shipping a carload of No. 1 Common Poplar Dimension Strip, rough. This stock went to England. 3. Dr. J. G. Storie, an Old Timer who covers as much territory every day as any two youngsters around Hazel Creek. Early or late, "Doc" is always ready and willing to give his time and skilled attention to cases of illness. His success has been so conspicuous that even the State Board of Health recently asked him how it is that he had so many births to record and so few deaths, as his reports were so out of proportion to the records from other places. 4. J. W. ("Jack") Bryant, our Sawmill Foreman, looking much sterner than usual. Maybe this was taken when steam, was running low. Phillip's daily wonder—"Is John at home?" What brand was our friend Giles Fink drinking on his last trip, when he lost his suit case, contents and all? Reward offered. E. L. Shipman and George Beat- tie and family are planning a big fishing trip next week. Who Two Timed Pat Crow ? Ask F. L. Minshall how far it is to Bill Brown's on a rainy night. Also how long it takes to come from Piney to Beaver when in a hurry. All Beaver folks are attending the Billy Sunday meetings at Beckley regularly. We all extend a welcoming hand to our new planing mill foreman, Mr. Harry Hall. Make her hum, Harry. Our new Club House Lady, Mrs. Ogg, is proving herself very efficient. Mr. Blaine Fullerton says he does not wish Johnson any bad luck, but he hopes he misses all trains Eeaver bound for the next two months. Mr. and Mrs. A. T. Crockett have been in Washington, D. C. for the last ten days, and we certainly miss them. Familiar names often heard around the mill: "Colonel," "Major," 'Governor," "Private Adams," and "Uncle." Our operation is running "full blast," everything looks lovely, and the Beaver people are proud of the little camp; in fact we all think it is the best sawmill operation on the map. White washing is the order of the day. HURLEY The recent flood caused much excitement and uneasiness on the part of many of our people. Old Knox Creek was the highest she had been in many years. She came surging down like the Mississippi, but very little damage was done. "The Knox Creek Special" was detained for one day only. Mrs. H. M. Johnson and children are home again after spending two weeks in Columbus. She reports a very delightful time and no doubt would have stayed longer; but Harry got "kinda lonesome" and hit the trail for Columbus. We are very fortunate to have with us Miss Mae Holorook, of the Bluefield Sanitarium. She is relieving Miss Hicks at the Knox Creek Hospital. During the time she had been with us, she has won a host of friends, and we regret very much that the time is near when she will have to return to her former position. "Mother" Manley's smiling face is greatly missed at the Hurley Club House. She is spending the summer at Greenbrier Springs, West Virginia, but we hope to have her back with us by September 1st. Miss Ola Charles is relieving her. Mr. and Mrs. Emmerick of Upper Elk, Kentucky, spent the past week end in Hurley. Mrs. Lyon Agee has returned, after an extended visit with home folks in Johnson City, Tenn. On Sunday 24th, Miss Harman and "Rev." T. A. Justus, took the Sunday School on a picnic. All reported a wonderful time, with heaps of good eats. Nineteen
