  • c|- *#> Nantahala ts* P. J. Danielson, our green lumber foreman, is one of the busiest men here —t>uilding docks, pile bottoms and ditching the yard, besides fulfilling his routine duties faithfully. "P. J." is known at most of our operations, and praised for his seemingly never ending supply of energy mellowed with age to a gentle and admirable disposition. We had a splendid month in February. The mill ran to full capacity. All the boys did their part willingly and cheerfully and everybody worked together in harmony. Be in TUNE with your fellow worker and your tasks are more easily done. A new dwelling is being built for our sawyer, J. F. Warden, who expects to move his family to Nantahala from McClure, Va., within the next sixty days. Mr. Warden is doing splendid work at low cost, says Superintendent E. B. McCollum. Safety First Pays Homer Williams, our machinist, recently returned from a visit to Greenville, Tenn., where he found Mrs. Williams and children in excellent health. He also reports having had a fine trip. It does those good who know Homer to see him now. He is really smiling these bright spring days. If your sawmill troubles are a "broken" problem, SEE Homer; he certainly can weld them. With the blue bird already perched on the line, the robin red breast already warbling his "Wake up, cheer up" melody sublime, summer must be just a few days farther over in the calendar. Moreover, the little boy is already at the bank with his line and Floyd Maynard has his lead for sinkers stored away, waiting for the season to open. Lem Holcomb, fireman, Jack Bryant, mill foreman, and Floyd Maynard, engineer, keep the mill going in excellent shape. When fellows work together as these men do, the mill will most certainly give us results. Each of the men is on the lookout for the other fellow; he's our brother. The stork came here a short time ago and left with Mr. and Mrs. John Sneed a baby girl named Virginia Kate. • . . Among the business and official visitors who have been here during March are E. N. Hutchinson, Huntington, W. Va.; W. M. Hanes, BARK Johnstown; G. A. Reilly, chief en- engineer, Columbus; Claude Sbippley, Johnson City, Tenn.; L. J. De- loochem, St. Louis, Mo. . . . We are beginning to feel that we are not entirely out of civilization bounds, as the autos are making their way to our town again as they did last fall. This makes us feel as though we are living in the city. . . . Miss Bertha Danielson left recently for Cullowhee, N. C, to attend school. Miss Georgia Bryant gave a birthday party a short time ago. The event was greatly enjoyed by the members of the younger set, who said they wished someone would have a party like that every day or two. . . A considerable number of youngsters went to a wiener roast and marshmallow toast recently. They reported a fine time, but some of the girls wonder how many wieners and marshmallows it would take to make a square meal for some of the boys. . . , Mr. Thur- man Meadford moved his family here last week. We are glad to have them with us. . . . A. W. Agee, general auditor, recently arrived on business. We are always pleased to have Mr. Agee with us. 1 Samuel M. Wolfe, division superintendent, left, and Jesse Brooks, woods superintendent, standing beside the butt end of a big log near Nantahala and Rainbow Springs, N. C. WILLIE'S ANSWER Teacher—William, how many bones have you in your body? William—Nine hundred. Teacher—That's a great many more than I have. William—But, teacher, I had sardines for lunch. •-*-Colleton -*•' We extend our sympathy to Mrs. W. V. Carlton in the death of her grandfather, Mr. Warren. . . . The Colleton folks derived much pleasure from a motion picture that was shown here recently. . . . Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Troutman and Mrs. R. W. Adams Mrs. E. H. Troutman and nephew, Ardyce Pate, of Colleton. attended the movie, "Back to God's Country," by James Oliver Curwood, at the New Era theatre in Walterboro. . . . Mr. P. M. Berry has moved his family here from Smoaks, S. C. We extend them a hearty welcome. . . . Colonel R. W. Adams has promised to take us for a joy ride after he learns to drive his new car. . . . H. O. Wynne and family spent a week end in Charleston, S. C, with friends and relatives recently. . . . Mrs. E. H. Troutman and relatives from Walterboro spent a pleasant day in Charleston a few weeks ago. . . . Miss Alma Givens, Varnville, S. C, visited a few weeks here with her sister, Mrs. W. E. O'Quine. . . . Miss Sallie O'Quine and Miss Sadie Brabham recently visited their aunt, Mrs. H. O. Wynne. . . . We are glad to say that Mrs. J. O. Weeks has recovered from a long period of illness. Her many friends are delighted to see her out again. COLLETON WOODS Mrs. J. B. Sanders is very sick at this writing, and her mother, Mrs. Polk, has been called from South Carolina to her bedside. We hope Mrs. Sanders will speedily recover. . . . We have had a great deal of excessive water here lately, due to heavy rainfall. . . . J. B. and Helen Sanders have recovered from the measles, which have caused considerable trouble here since the first of the year. "What do you think of mud as a beautifier?" "Well, it hasn't done much for the turtle." Thirteen
