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 Mrs. Paul Steen, who was the efficient mail clerk in the Columbus office for the past seven years left the services of the company on May 10th to become a "home- keeper" all day long instead of before and after office hours, as had been her custom for the past three years. While she will be missed in our office, we know that she will be much happier giving her time and attention to her "male" instead of our "mail." The Champion Egg-Tester Is Yet To Be Found.—Several days ago, in the dining room during the noon hour, Carrie Athey placed two eggs in the saucepan to boil and then sat down to wait. She began to think aloud as to how soon the eggs would be done, when Aurelia Kennedy, who believes in action rather than words, stepped over to the hot plate and stated that she could tell when the eggs were done. In lifting one of them on the spoon in order to see if it would dry immediately, it rolled off the spoon and smashed on the floor. Miss Kennedy calmly announced that the egg was undone and soon afterwards words became londer than actions. Mr. Perry, of the W. M. Ritter Flooring Corporation of New York City, and Mr. A. J. Williams, of the Philadelphia office of the W. M. Ritter Lumber Company, were Columbus office visitors during the past month. Matrimonial News of the Columbus Office of the Columbus office and (Bj were united in ■H marriage o n May 25th, 1924. We hope to be able to fill in the above blanks in our next issue and offer the proper felicitations but at the present we hesitate under threats of the penalty of death and other dire destruction. "What is so rare as a day in June," says the poet and "What is so blissful as an engagement in come, says one of our Columbus office girls. Although the day was dark and gloomy, on the very first morning of the very first working ::fctt: "Relaxation"—Edward, the small son of Mr. J. S. Myers, our Purchasing Agent. day in June, Miss Marguerite Dearmin of the Traffic Department, came beaming into the office with the engagement finger of her left hand "draped" in a beautiful new diamond ring and confessed to her fellow workers that the doner was none other than one of our most popular and promising young sales- m e n, "Eddie" West. We understand that the "fatal step" is to be taken in the coming fall and extend to each of these young people our heartiest congratulations and very best wishes. Notice to the prosective bridegroom:—Upon showing the above announcement to the prospective bride and asking for her permission to print and if she thought it would meet with the approval of the prospective groom, we received this reply, "Oh, what's the difference, I'm the boss!" June," with the prospects of all the shining summer months to HAZEL CREEK Hazel Creek can justly be proud of her "Poultry Fancier's Row." We now have six chicken raisers, all living in a row, and had we the ability of "Billy" Belote we could present some interesting cartoons; but being minus that ability, we will have to content ourselves with just writing about them. Mr. E. B. McCollum, who is the center of the chicken colony, quite recently became desirous of an early bunch of spring chicks and very anxious for some of his hens to set. Only one hen emitted the least little cluck and she steadfastly refused to stay put when placed on the nest so Mr. McCollum was forced to use his wits and soon had a trap nest made with Madam Hen securely fastened within. Just four days later he discovered that the hen expired. Mr. McCollum still declares that she died of mortification instead of starvation. Mr. W. C. Bearden also showed great versatility when he had a hen which wanted to set but would not sit on the nest. As this hen seemed determined to stand on the nest he made a new nest so low that she was forced to sit if she set. McClure writes about manufacturing 377 bundles of parquetry on March 18th but did you notice that Hazel Creek won the first place? Ed Craddock says that is just where the Hazel Creek Planing Mill is going to be for the month of May and to get a good start they manufactured 3296 feet of Parquetry on the first day. Practically everyone staying at the boarding house has been fishing at least once this spring but not one fish has been seen in the dining room. Charles Lail says that he doesn't believe there are any fish in Hazel Creek. Born to Mr. and Mrs. Tiny Bennett, May 10th, a baby girl who has been named Mildred. As Ed Craddock says—"That Georgian from North Carolina has half-soled his shoes with German big-headed brads and started for Hopewell, Missouri, for his bride, Miss Flora Redfield."

“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.
