  • THE .HARB BARK **> New River ■** A. Fergeson, our master mechanic, who recently moved his family here from Knoxville, saved our company considerable money recently by making some high class repairs on our electric light engine, which had a broken crank shaft. Upon examination, we thought it would be necersary to buy a new shaft complete from the factory. Mr. Fergeson decided it would be worth while trying to repair, and went to work with this in view, with the result that he soon had the broken part banded together in such a manner that we expect no additional trouble. Our operation was thus saved the expense of purchasing a new crank shaft. The organization here is highly pleased with our piling, particularly of lumber stacked on end. The green lumber crews claim that this method is much easier to carry out, faster than flat piling, and that the results are better. We we:e pleased to have with us Mr. Davis of the Columbus Sucker Rod Company, for whom two cars of sucker rods were made up while he was here. . . B. M. Garrett had the misfortune of having his motor car badly damaged recently in trying to get by a new Ford. Two new fenders, one running board, one front wheel— these form part of the itemized list resulting from Garrett missing his toe hold. . . Neal Gilbert's family recently moved from Grundy, Va., to New River. Neal, who is our woods superintendent, recently visited Grundy on business. . . A. W. Agee arrived at New River the latter part of July very much improved in health, after spending several weeks recuperating at Battle Creek, Mich. Mr. Agee took sun baths as part of his treatment and we scarcely knew him, for he was so "badly" tanned. E. E. Henley, camp store manager and payroll clerk, has been in rather poor health and is now taking a rest in the mountains of North Carolina. . . . Mrs. E. L. Mosby has returned from a visit with her sister, Mrs. C. H. Jones, Butler, Tenn. She left Tommie at Butler to attend school. . . D. W. French, foreman of the sawmill at Fitzpatrick, W. Va., and family recently visited New River en route home on a vacation trip. We were pleased to have them with us. . . Mrs. D. B. Calfee is visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Mitchell at Huntington, W. Va. . . G. M. Caldwell spent several days here on business the latter part of July. **r Nantahala <-** Too much stress cannot be laid on the proper method of slabbing logs. A meeting for sawyers and graders was held recently during a visit of Giles M. Caldwell and an interesting hour was spent on ways of handling a log on the carriage, how it should be loaded, proper adjustment of taper levers and the fine point of accustoming the sawyer to obtaining the right face in the first slab off. It was brought out that adjusting the log to get a six inch face will not Three gentlemen of Nantahala—left to right: Messrs. Bennett, Nuchols and McCollum, superintendent of the operation. only help the footage, but assuredly raise the value of the lumber. We consider this method one of the outstanding principles in the enhancement of market value and in the reduction of one's pile of strips. After this system has been firmly instilled in one's mind, he should be on guard for other developments. There are certain colors in wood that will cause it to be cut in 4/4, if it is properly sawn. Sap wood, mineral stain, burly types and all badly appearing, rough and ugly lumber should be cut a certain thickness. The meeting was a good one, and the things we learned are going to stick. A round table discussion on various subjects was held during a recent visit of our president, W. M. Pryor. One of the matters gone into pertained to the end piling of lumber. Mr. Pryor was pleased with the appearance of our yard. We have developed a perfectly straight line 500 feet in length and 20 feet wide. The racks are under a permanent roof and full of lumber. Floyd Maynard, truthfully states (in the language of all anglers) , that he has caught 250 trout since April fifteenth. All honest men usually prevaricate to the extent of one or two hundred when airing their personal and private catches, but Floyd is a slight variation from the general rule. The mill runs every day, every hour of the day, every week day. Our new lighting system is completed and certainly helps us a great deal. Again we have no accidents to report for this mill for the past month. This is a fine record. Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Meyers and son were recent visitors here. As almost everyone knows, Mr. Meyers is the purchasing agent of our company, with headquarters at Columbus. . . A. J. Weeks and family of Colleton, have been visiting here for a few days. Like many others who come here from the flat country, they greatly enjoyed the mountain air and good cold water. . . S. M. Wolfe, W. M. Pryor, G. M. Caldwell and A. W. Agee were recent visitors here. . . Mrs. Jess Brooks and daughter Alma spent several days here. Mr. Brooks accompanied them to Asheville. . . Mr. and Mrs. Ed Riddle and son, of Fitzpatrick, have been visiting Mrs. Riddle's brother, J. W. Stanley. . . . Mrs. Tilson Griffith left recently to spend a few days with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Ducket, Cherokee, N. C. . . Mrs. Jack Bryant is at the Angel Hospital, Franklin, for treatment. We hape she will have a speedy recovery. . . Mr. and Mrs. Bland Cook, Miss Mamie Lou Franklin and Mrs. Bob Branch, Lenoir, N. C, visited the Bryants here recently. Mrs. Ervin Weaver, of Fremont, Va., visited us for a short time not long ago. We are always glad to meet Ritter folks from other operations. . . Rev. J. S. Stanberry, who served as pastor of the church at Hazel Creek so long, preached a very interesting sermon here recently. Many of us have a warm corner in our hearts for Mr. Stanberry. . . Mrs. "Bill" Gillian and family spent a week visiting friends at Proctor. . . Mrs. Ed Tolly, Proctor, and two of her children visited her sister, Mrs. J. E. Danielson here over a recent week end. . . Mr. and Mrs. Henry Franklin have taken their little daughter Gwendolene to Angel Hos- Eleven
