  • ^AIl^BAGt>G©£StP? 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 Hit the line hard, Don't foul and don't shirk, But hit the line hard. —Roosevelt. H. H. Sherman, salesman in West Virginia, learned the value of enthusiasm, grit and determination when playing football in college. He apparently has been using some of his football tactics in his work, for he again stood at the head of the list of salesmen last month,, even though we understand business in the coal field territory is "pretty well shot" right now. Congratulations, Sherman! All of the members of the Columbus Office Force extend their deepest sympathy to Miss Katherine Reardon in the recent illness and death of her aged father. Miss Reardon has been a member of our organization for many years and is loved and respected by all who know her. HAZEL CREEK On Friday, November 16th, the strip flooring gang broke all previous records for a ten hour day. At five o'clock Charlie Neal looked at the meter on the Side-Matcher and, being afraid that the record wouldn't be broken, he fed the machine for the last hour. He just fed 12,000 feet in that hour. The total meter reading was 80,145 feet and the total board feet was 18,746. The stock was maple, but the records show this to be the biggest run in a ten hour day in the history of the Hazel Creek Planing Mill. Thursday evening, Nov. 15th, the Literary Society entertained the people of Proctor with a mock trial. There were several cases on docket but only one was tried: State vs. Dinty Moore; charge—drunk and disorderly. Despite the valiant efforts of his attorneys Messrs. Thad Hill and Carl Risliel, Dinty was found guilty and sentenced to ride the rail as long as the fellows were willing to carrry it. Dinty says he wouldn't have minded being convicted if only they had not convinced his "better half" that the charges were true.

Great interest is being shown. Miss Winnie Vance, who is rapidly recovering from an appendicitis operation has returned to her home. Miss Anna Bryant spent several days recently at Sylvia. Mr. G. Wilson, who is attending Collegiate Institute, spent several days with his parents, Rev. and Mrs. J. H. Wilson this month. The Editor certainly tempted us this month but before we risk a letter to the stenographer in the Columbus office, we want to learn what fate the editor met with after swiping her picture. (Note: No fatalities, as yet.—Ed.) The Proctor Community Club held an enjoyable meeting at the Community Building on the night of October 31st. The Baraca Bible Class invited the young ladies class to join them in a candy pulling recently. After two nights were spent in candy cooking, it was given up as a bad job, but everyone had a jolly good time. The Proctor Literary Society meets every Thursday night. Some splendid programs have been given. Since the new "Pressing Club" has opened up on the corner of Broadway and Fifth Avenue on the same block with Grand Central Station and the W. M. Ritter Department Store, we feel that Proctor, every day is growing more and more like New York. Mr. and Mrs. Hayes have been visiting their relatives for the past week. Mr. Hayes is the store manager at this place. COLLETON For the past few months Colleton has seemed to take a back seat, but now as the evenings are growing longer and cooler and it will not be so pleasant for a little automobile trip after the whistle blows, perhaps we will find it more comfortable to sit by the fire and write a few notes for the "Bark." The Colleton County Fair at Walterboro was well attended by the people from here. On a recent Sunday the following residents of Colleton motored to Charleston to hear "Billy" Sunday: Mr. and Mrs. H. O. Wynne and children, Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Patrick, Mr. and Mrs. H. R. Satter- white, Mr. N. E. O'Quinn, Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Scott, Mr. and Mrs. W. V. Carlton, and Mrs. S. M. Carlton. Mrs. R. W. Adams and daughter, Lucile, spent a few days in Charleston recently. Mr. D. R. Yates, planing mill foreman, has accepted a position with Clark Brothers at Olean, N. J. We regret very much to lose Don, as he is familiarly known, but wish him all success in his new place. Mrs. Yates and children will join him in the Spring. O. Forbes and E. E. Ritter in Colleton County's first Ford, purchased May 5, 1913, at $665 f.o.b. Columbus, Ohio. Thirteen
