  • ^AIl^BAG^GOSStPi 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 When we met at the Columbus Athletic Club for Mr. Patton's surprise luncheon, Mr. Pendleton was( missing. After a while he turned up with the explanation that he thought the luncheon was at the Girls' Athletic Club. And then when he sat down at the table he glanced around and remarked in what might have been construed to be a disappointed tone, "Why, it's a 'stag' affair, isn't it?" Oh, well, you never can tell about these old fellows nowadays. Hazel Creek: The young lady "stenog." told us about your nice Christmas card and casually remarked, "Let's see; this is Leap Year, is it not?" Watch your step! —Ye Ed. Christmas card received by "Daddy" Pendleton, our Cashier, from A. R. Markel, who was formerly an employee of the Company: "Reuben, Reuben, Pve been thinking, What a glorious thing 'twould be, If they'd cut the cost of living, And then raise our salary. While we're waiting, let's be joyful, While the sun shines, let's make hay; We should worry—let's keep going, Every dog should have his day. Mr. Longyear was again at the head of the list of Salesmen on last month's report. Congratulations, Ed! Laura Brundige, our "champeen" bowler among the ladies, rolled a fine game the other day, making four strikes and six spares which gave her a score of 201. A FORCED SALE "What are you doing with those snowballs?" asked a well dressed man suspiciously a few days before Christmas. "Sellin' 'em, sir, three for a penny, and them what can't afford them, gets them for nothing," answered the urchin. "Ah, I'll buy the entire lot," said the man quickly. The janitor's little boy, very black, was nicknamed "Midnight" by his white neighbors. He didn't mind their calling him that, but one day when one of his own race exclaimed, "Hello, Midnight!" he re- tor t e d indignantly, "Shet up. You'se jes' about quahter to twelve yose'f." ROGUES' GALLERY STARTS SOMETHING Since the publication last month of the Rogues' Gallery the editor has found it necessary to be on the defensive. Various kinds of retribution and revenge have been suggested and Mr. W. E. Weakley, who has communicated with several of those interested, has sent in the letter below for publication: "Feilow Monstrosities: "As you all seemed to feel the Editor should be handled in a physical way, I peeped into his sanctum to see how we could best accomplish our desire. "A photo of the scalawag just Ye Editor was on the Defensive as I found him is here shown, so, fellows, that way of getting even is no good—so far as I am concerned; but it would be a pleasure to have some of you who thought the picture of me was flattering go up against him. "n0. 6723." OUR CHRISTMAS STORY Two old maids were planning for the holidays. "Sister Molly," said the younger, "would a long stocking hold all you want for a Christmas gift?" "No, Elvira," said the elder, "but a pair of socks would." Teacher: "Now, you have in front of you the north, on your right is the east, and on your left the west. What have you behind you?" Small Boy: "A patch on my pants. I told mother you'd see it." HAZEL CREEK Perhaps some of the other operations think that the Hazel Creek Planing Mill broke the record on November 16th and then let up for the rest of the month, but when the total cut for the month was added it showed 375,007 feet of strip flooring and 27,830 feet of parquetry. This cut was made in spite of the fact that the side head boxes on the side-matcher burned out four times and also the planing mill was down one-half day. Do you blame Ed Craddock and Charlie Neal for wearing an "indelible" grin? Mr. J. W. ("Webb") Fisher and Miss Eleanor Marshall were married December 21st. Mr. and Mrs. Fisher have the hearty good wishes of their many friends on Hazel Creek, where Mr. Fisher was formerly superintendent, and where Mrs. Fisher has lived for several years. That "Webb" still has many friends among the fellows here was proven by the (manner in which they initiated him. Aside from riding the rail and numerous other stunts, he was only ducked in the creek twice. Since the Club House closed on December 20th the men from there have been eating at the boarding house. Ed Craddock says that Charlie and Mrs. Lail will soon have them all fattened up. During the holidays there were several very enjoyable parties in Proctor. Tuesday evening a large crowd of young people called on Misses Ethel and Edora Queen and gave them a surprise party. Thursday evening the same bunch enjoyed a party at the home of Miss Anna Bryant. A jolly good time was had by all who attended these parties. A Christmas tree entertainment was held at the church the night before Christmas. The girls of the Junior B. Y. P. U. rendered a nice program, after which the exercises were turned over to Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus who delighted the kiddies very much by passing around among them and distributing handfuls of candy. "The Stubborn Motor Car," a western comedy, was presented by several young people of the community December 20th for the benefit of the Girls' Basket Ball Team. There was a full house and everyone voted the play a success. Eleven
