  • ^URspsaw*-- siJ^fc* i*& • v I* 1. Hazel Creek Club House—The man standing on the front porch is Mr. E. B. McCollum, our superintendent. 2. Hazel Creeik Baptist Church. 3. F. W. Tittle and his "Ford," which he borrowed for an outing. HAZEL CREEK—(Continued) Rev. W. P. Elliot who formerly graded Parquetry here, has returned after an absence of two years. We certainly are glad to have Mr. Elliot and family with us again. About two years ago one of the bevel gears at Hazel Creek broke and Charley Neal put in a mule. Since that time the mule has caused only thirty minutes loss of time. The first of the month the other gear broke and Charley installed another mule. The mill would have been down only two days but was closed down one week waiting for pulleys. The mule has been running like a top. Before the last mule was installed it was some job for John Stephenson to keep the planing mill engine going when all the machinery was running. Recently all the machinery was running in good order and John didn't know it until he came upstairs. Some saving in power is the mule over a bevel gear. Ed. Mathews, machine feeder and Joe Swan, assistant machinist in Parquetry are buying and selling second-hand motor cars. Some of the busiest people are only picking up the beans that they have spilled themselves. — Mutual Mutterings. There is no bad luck in turning back—if you are on the wrong road.—Mutual Mutterings. THEY DO Little Girl—I know something I won't tell— Bachelor—You'll get over that when you're a little bit older.— Phoenix. Sixteen COLLETON Mrs. E. J. Hall and children of Oneida, New York, have joined Mr. E. J. Hall, who is our planing mill superintendent. We are pleased to announce that the Colleton School has opened under the management of Mrs. Ruth Jones and Miss Alma Givens. The recent heavy rains washed out a lot of our logging road but due to our efficient section foreman, Mr. L. R. Davis and his crew who are always on the alert for such happenings, we did not lose any time on the mill end for want of legs. Our mill foreman, Mr. W. H. Scott, is to bs commended on his forethought in placing a cross-cut saw on the log deck when the saw broke down. By doing this the mill was supplied with logs until the drag saw could be repaired. Children of Mr. and Mrs. H. R. Sat- terwhite—Dwight, Leo, Ada Belle, and Pearl with their dog "Jane." We are glad Dwight only had his head cut off in the picture. Mr. J. W. Ramsey, one of our old time employees who has had charge of our lath and shingle mill, has resigned to accept a position at Miami, Florida. We wish him success. J. 0. Weeks, Jr., the little son of Mr. and Mrs. J. 0. Weeks, recently underwent an operation for the removal of his tonsils. Mrs. J. B. Sanders, who has been seriously ill, is recovering. Mr. St. Clare Rhodes, Camp Store Manager, spent several days in Bamberg serving as juryman. Likewise Mr. J. A. Jordon spent several days in Walterboro this week as juryman. Mr. James Googe of Savannah, Georgia, spent some time here with his sister, Mrs. G. W. Patrick. Mr. R. E. Manning made a trip to Charleston to dispose of Mr. Weakley's washboards. For further information inquire of C. B. W. We regret very much to announce the death of Mr. J. F. Lucas, Sr., of Walterboro, the father of our machinist, Mr. J. F. Lucas, Jr. Mr. W. H. Scott is spending a few days with his mother at Evans- ville, Indiana. Mr. W. H. Scott and Mr. H. O. Wynne were on a deer hunt recently but we are sorry to state that they returned empty handed. Notice to Duck Hunters Get your paraphernalia ready as the ducks and geese have been seen in large flocks going south and the "Silver Spray" is in first class shape
