Dec. 26th and 27th were the coldest days in this section. All water pipes were frozen, Hazel Creek was covered with thick, ice, most of the people were kept indoors but some went hunting and some ventured out to see the "movies." We had a good show Dec. 26th at the theatre, and a good crowd. "Shooting Square" and "Vacation Time" were the pictures shown. The Proctor graded school was closed Dec. 18th for the holidays and will reopen on January 4th. ■■:■■■■:.■-] he„ y°""gest trio in the "Ritter Fam- "y- Bill and Rath Craddock and Vio- let Bryant.

We understand that he expects to leave Hazel Creek and move his family there in the near future. I AM WHAT I AM I am superior to any Compensation law that can be enacted. I absolutely prevent physical suffering. I keep mental anguish out of the family circle. I am the key to the greatest Brother to Brother movement. I am the best investment on the market. I pay the largest dividends of any investment. I am a joy to the Company, the worker and the physician. I am the most easily secured commodity in the world. I am SAFETY FIRST. —W. Steel Bryan.

Woodrow: "Not so well, but take a look at what they are doing to your Ten Commandments."

“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.
