  • THE HARIMkDOD BARK **> New River <*» R. C. Wheeler, formerly of Maben, W. Va., is now chief inspector here. We are glad to have him with us and we feel he will be a wonderful help to our New River organization. ... A new sawyer arrived in the family of Mr. and Mrs. Ray R. Johnson September 14th. . . . Mrs. Oren Colley and children have arrived at New River. They were driven from Beckley, W. Va., by Gleason Reed, son of Mr. and Mrs. H. J. H. Reed, who was accompanied by his mother. Mr. Colley is in charge of our yard and has been here for some time. . . . We regret that New River is located too fat away for any of our people to attend the annual Ritter picnic at Pisgah Church, near Tazewell, Va. . . . Mrs. Neal Gilbert, wife of our woods superintendent, who has been taking treatment at the Rockwood General Hospital, has returned home much improved in health. Walter T. Snidow, chief millwright, has finished repair work here and has been called to do similar work at Fremont, Va. . . . L. C. Carroll spent several days here installing the machinery and equipment for our reman- ufacturing plant. . . .New River residents attended the Scott County fair, held at Oneida, Tenn., nine miles north of here, on the Cincinnati-Chattanooga Air Line Highway. . . . We probably have 500,003 feet of end piled lumber at this time. All con cerned here are highly pleased thus far with the results obtained in drying our lumber by this method. -*rColleton -** We have been having a flood at Colleton. The swamps are higher than they have been for years. Trees have been blown down, roofs blown from lumber piles and the roads are impassible. Production under these conditions naturally has been handicapped, but it is again back on a normal basis, thanks to the cooperative spirit of our employees. A. J. Weeks and family have returned after a visit at Nantahala and Bogue, N. C. At Bogue Sound A. J. and J. O. weeks did some wonderful fishing, having caught 101 pounds of shcephead and flounder in a single night's catch. . . D. R. Yates and family have returned from a pleasant stay in Ohio. . . We are glad that Mrs. E. H. Troutman is recovering after three weeks of serious illness. . . H. O. Wynne is out again after being sick several days. . . Messrs. Wolfe and Agee recently spent several days here. . . Hugh Nuckols and Tommy McCollum, of Nantahala, N. C are visiting friends here. Hiram:"Well, sir, my shotgun let out a roar and there lay a wolf dead ahead of us!" Bored Boarder: "How long had it been dead?" Can you identify these two different trees? Their names are included among these: chestnut, basswood, hickory, red oak, white oak, yellow poplar, walnut, birch, beech, maple. Correct answers at bottom of Page 20 in this issue. '-*r Nantahala is** Frank Warden had the taper levers moving in the right place and at the right time when G. M. Caldwell- visited Nantahala last month. Lumber was in line on grade and everything was in fine shape. Slabbing is an art and a good sawyer an artist. Even when things are moving smoothly, Mr. Caldwell always has some fine points of interest in regard to proper manufacture. A man can be right at times, but it is very difficult for him to stay right. There is no positive rule one can apply to all conditions of lumber manufacture, but there is to every interested, thinking man a guiding principle that will lead him very close to if not directly to the goal. It is: Doing and applying oneself to the utmost to do, will put one in sight of the top and in most instances over. A. E. Weaver, who has made history, at Fremont, has been installed here as chief inspector. We heartily welcome Mr. and Mrs. Weaver to our splendid organization. Reliable people in the front pews are the main spring to a community and the back bone of all sound organizations. We are doing some real lumber hustling. Two dry lumber crews are busy daily. Our hats are off to the sales manager, Mr. F. B. Pryor, and his department. We hope they continue to remember us with good orders. The impressions of a visitor to Nantahala, as recorded in the September Bark, are a dream. We know not who the writer is, but we do know that one who so nicely expresses the inner man by bubbling over with such elegant expressions, is the proud possessor of something noble. The entire organization at Rainbow Springs, through the courtesy of the Hardwood Bark, extend our hospitality and good cheer. Come again. L. C. Carroll, master mechanic, is spending a few weeks here before returning to New River. . . George Cary and brother, Charleston, W. Va., spent two days here. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Franklin are visiting Mr. Franklin's parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Franklin at Lenoir. . . We are sorry to report that our engineer, Floyd Maynard, is in Angel Hospital, Frank- Ten
