  • •I- THE HAREHfeOOD BARK -«» •■ir New River <w R. O. Bean, grader; Clyde Williams, sawyer and Giles M. Caldwell, assistant superintendent of manufacture, formed a committee chosen to judge the stacks on our yard to determine the winner of a $5 hat offered for the best stack of lumber. It was very hard to decide whose stacks were the best, and the result we hope to be able to publish in the next issue of the Hardwood Bark. New River is the only sawmill operation in our company without a pond. A giant 80-foot boom swings the logs off the cars to a point near the jackslip, where they are cleaned with a hose. Since there are no sinkers, it is easy to get the butt ends of the logs up the jackslip first and to size up the log on all sides. The rainfall here June 29 and 30 was five and one-half inches in twenty-four hours, according to government officials, and New River overflowed its banks. Naturally, under such conditions, production was maintained only with difficulty. Considerable damage was done in the woods. In places our railroad was washed fifty to seventy-five feet off the original roadbed. The mill lost some time. G. M. Caldwell was a recent business visitor and gave the examination on grading rules. Employees from superintendent down took this test and Mr. Caldwell expressed pleasure at the showing made. . .

Griffith our sawmill foreman at New River long now before New River will have some dry lumber to ship. Lumber being piled on end will be ready before the flat piled stock. . . The first wedding to report since New River started is that of Miss Lelia Othola Stanley to Mr. Edgar Stern Culver, of Atlanta, Ga. on July 18. Miss Stanley is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. B. B. Stanley. Mr. Culver holds an important position with a large floral company at Atlanta. Mr. and Mrs. Culver will make their home in Atlanta. We regret to report the death of Loma, the infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Griffith. Loma was seventeen months old and died June 20. Mr. Griffith is our sawmill foreman. C. E. Henley, store manager and payroll clerk at the woods camp store, and Mrs. Henley, acquired a new nine- pound boy on June 23. . . Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Mitchell are visiting with Mr. and Mrs. D. B. Calfee, having motored from Huntington, W. Va... Mrs. E. L. Mosby and son Tommy are visiting relatives at Butler, Tenn. . . Several of our employees have recently purchased new automobiles. We have splendid roads in this vicinity. . . Miss Glady Wright is visiting relatives at New River. . . Miss Stella Wells, of Chattanooga, is visiting friends here. . . . Miss Opal Stanley, of Chattanooga, is the guest of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. B. B. Stanley. Mrs. Stanley is our efficient clubhouse manager. Jessie Lee Washam, infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Washam, died July 17. The bereaved have the sympathy of our community. **" Nantahala <*< G. M. Caldwell spent the Fourth at Rainbow Springs and Franklin, enjoying pink lemonade and sight seeing. An examination on grading lumber made this one of the most interesting and profitable visits to our mill. A number of the men took the test and all said they were better lumbermen bcause they had attended this meeting. Tilson Griffith, better known as Skeezix, took unto himself a "for better or worse' July 2. They visited Washington, D. C. and other points and returned to the mill July eighth. Mrs. Griffith, his mother, is visiting at Rainbow Springs. The bride was Miss Edna Ducket, of Asheville, N. C. Both Tilson and his bride are popular young people and we hope they will have a long and happy life. Most of the equipment for the new lighting plant is on the ground. Walter Snidow, our chief millwright, has just reported from Rainbow Springs and we feel sure the machinery will soon (be installed. Everyone at Rain- Jess Brooks inspecting a big one in Nantahala woods. bow Springs is shaking the glad hand with Walter and we are indeed pleased to have him with us again. We are also anxious to have our electric lights back. The mill has been running full time, but we have been handicapped by lack of light. J. G. Fleming has run the Nantahala clubhouse for a year without loss. . . S. M. Wolfe recently brought part of his family over for a few days. While here Mrs. Wolfe caught the largest trout seen here this season. Since we have had a good graded road here from Franklin, several residents are buying new cars, among them James W. Stanley, Dr. McGuire, Clifford Dowdle, "Bill" Gillian and John Sneed. Just as a reminder to the readers of the Hardwood Bark we wish to say that all of the following gentlemen are on the job in the interest of the W. M. Ritter Lumber Company : Jesse Brooks, Walter Frazier, "Dock" Stanley, "Jack" Bryant, Floyd Maynard, Ikey Bennett, Homer Williams, J. F. Warden, the sawyer, D. E. Shafer, filer, Nine
