Cotton Market Opened.
John Snow sold E. B. Benson A Cos.
se ven bales of cotton last week, although
his wagon makes a trip or two every week
empty to the different railroad towns to
haul goods back for our merchants. John
is sharp enough to know where to get the
best prices for cotton.
Echo and Nun.
A merchant in a real Georgia city, and
who is one of the most extensive advertisers
in the State, has this to say : “ You may
be assured l appreciate your paper as an
advertising medium. I take it home with
me every week to read to my children.
Your paper and I.ary Gantt's Echo arc
models of country newspapers, and if the
good people of Hart and Oglethorpe do not
support them liberally they ought to be
ashamed of themselves.”
Cotton Ricking- In Hart.
Four hands on R. E. Sadler’s plantation
averaged for two weeks, in the fore part of
September, 2G5 pounds per day. On last
1 Wednesday one hand picked 310 and an
other 305. The hands did their own cook
ing and carried the cotton some distance to
the house which took four turns for each.
R. E. Sadler don’t owe a dollar, and is it
not strange that this class of men are all
making fine crops of cotton this year.
Runaway.
It is 32 miles from this place to Toccoa.
There is but one hill worthy of the name
between the two places. It is two miles
from Hartwell at Lightwood-log Creek.
A few days ago B. F. Brown was return
ing from Toccoa with a load of sugar in
barrels, and lard m buckets for E. B. Ben
son & Cos. Ilis mules started to run, and
in their flight down the hill broke the
wagon into trap sticks and scattered lard
and sugar from the top to the bottom of
the hill, and the water of the cfeek has
been too sweet to drink ever since.
Deaths.

Maret, wife of Stephen Maret, aged 91.
She raised 14 children, had 54 grand-chil
dren, 53 great-grand-children, and member
of Beaverdam Baptist Church 71 years.
Rev. 11. M. Barton preached her funeral
last Saturday.
Mrs. Teasley, wife of W. 11. Teasley,

Iturke <t Fleming,
(Successors to T. A. Burke), Athens,
Ga. This is a live Book store, and right
at our door, where books, paper, and every
thing in the book or stationery line can be
purchased as cheaply as in any of the
Northern cities. Now just quit all that
foolery in sending by mail to Northern
houses for worthless books, and go to the
old reliable book store, where you can get
anything in the world in the way of hooks
that are worthy of being on the shelves of
a gentleman’s library.
John Medy,
The great dry goods man of Atlanta, has
an advertisement in this issue. Parties
from Elbert, Hart. Franklin, Madison and
other counties of this section can save at
least one-fourth of their money by going
to Keely’s when attending the fair, or any
other time they may be in Atlanta. We
know what we are talking about. AV e
have sent them orders by mail and they
send us goods at lower prices than we can
buy them at wholesale. We do not know
how they can afford to do so, except it be
upon the principle that thej r make no bad
debts, as they sell strictly for cash.
A Voice from Carolina.
“Enclosed find $1.50 for another year’s
subscription to The Sun. We can’t do
without it over here.”
Thank you, Norton. We know your
daddy is one of the richest men in your
section, and we know the money }'ou send
us is made by hard licks from your own
strong right arm. We fancy we can hear
the sweet ringing music of your hammer
upon the anvil now. Would to God the
South had thousands more of such young
men who were independent of rich fathers
by their own industry.
Don't Fail to Read
Advertisement of Sullivan & Cos. Ihis firm
so well-known in this and adjoining coun
ties, have on hand an extensive stock of
goods. Read their advertisement and see
what low prices they offer them at. M e
have known N. K. Sullivan, senior partner,
thirty years or more, and will say that a
more honorable upright gentlemen cannot
be found. Ilis son and brother are his
partners. Hart, Elbert, or Franklin folks
going to Anderson to trade or sell produce,
would do well to call on them. They keep
the best of goods at the lowest prices, and
you won't find wheat straw bagging and
pieced ties in their house. Anderson now
has reduced freights and can afford to
sell as low as other railroad towns. All
they want is a few more advertising mer
chants, like the Sullivan boys, to bring back
their lost trade and build up their town.

to note this evidence of prosperity. The

its success is the legitimate outcome of

To road an advertisement in the Hart
well Sun, one would think that the Editor
had been patronizing the Western gun
works, which sells revolvers, deadly aim,
etc. — Toccoa Herald.
Just so. And to carry your witty reas
oning a little further—to read some of the
recent locals in the Toccoa Herald, one
would think that the Editor had been pnt
ronizing the rum shops. Now don’t get
mad—you started it.

Says the Atlanta Independent : “If a
good Vermont or New Hampshire farmer
should work out Georgia farms as he works
the rocky, sterile New England lands, he
would produce such crops as were never
seen in this country. If our thirty-five
thousand farmers would work Georgia
lands as the good Northern farmers work
their lands, the agriculturists of Georgia
would he the money lenders of the State.”
We would in all confidence recommend
Dr Harter’s Iron Tonic. We would
exhort the weak to discard all unmedi
cated and impure stimilants, and use this—
“ nature’s great restorer.” Tt acts on the
stomach and bowels, increasing the appe

A woman, wishing to sell chincapins,
called on an old merchant the other day,

would have done, because the lawyers
could get no chincapins.

Messrs. Editors : In this day of
sports, viz : cards, base-ball, chuck-luck.
&c., we see nothing about running foot
races. It is a nice and harmless exercise,
and may be of great value under certain
circumstances. The writer, the other day
held a watch and timed a gentleman till he
ran 100 yards, and he ran it in 12 seconds.
The ground was level and a portion of the
way was sandy. Can any other man or
boy run the same distance quicker? If so,
let us know in The Sun, and we will run
our man again. A Sportsman.

In Anderson County, S. C., 12 miles from
Hartwell, was largely attended, and on
Sunday an immense concourse of people
were present. The best of order prevailed,
except on Saturday night there was some
disturbance by drunkards. The Georgians
who were in attendance are loud in their
praise of the hospitality shown them by
their brethren on the other side of the
river. 0. A. Darby, P. R., preached the
11 o’clock sermon on Sunday, from He
brews 11th Chap., 4th verse :
*• And by it he being dead yet spoaketh.”
This was a masterly effort, and the speaker
proved that our influence, whether for
good or evil, still lives nfter our death. It
was considered one of the finest sermons.
The following is a list of the preachers in
attendance :
O. A. Darby, P. E., Abner Ervin, A.
W. Walker, H. F. Chrietzburg. J. J.

The Reunion.
It is impossible to give the proceedings
of the reunion in this issue, hut we will
give it next week. This will also excuse
us for our lack of reading matter, as the

Hartwell lli|;h School.
Hartwell, Ga., Sept. 2(5, 1877.
At a meeting of the Trustees of the
Hartwell High School held this day, the
following resolutions were passed :
Whereas, our town and County has
been prospered to a great extent by a flour
ishing School, due to the able and skillful
management of the teachers in charge,
Prof, and Mrs. Looney, who have made
this a School second to none in the State.
Our town is favorably situated for a school,
and there is an increased desire all over the
surrounding country to send children here.
The climate is healthy and salubrious, the
water fine, morals good, there being noth
ing to attract the minds of youth from their
studies, board and tuition cheap, in fact
every desideratum that could be wished by
a parent to have his child educated can be
found here. Be it therefore
Resolved , That we tender Prof, and Mrs.
Looney our heartfelt thanks for their uast
administration, and we earnestly beg them
to continue in the work and their School
for next year; and we hereby promise to
use all our efforts and ability in co-opera
ting with them in any planner they may
desire to make their School one of in
creased profit to them and usefulness to
our town and County.
These resolutions were unanimously
adopted.

Editors Sun : We would like to say a
word to ginners and farmers through your
columns about pieced ties, and bagging
1 made of wheat straw. You lose money by
nsing'them. and when you go to one of the
little one-horse railroad towns don’t let i
the merchants put them on you. Tho ties
are no account and hurst otf the hales, if
you do not handle them very carefully ;|
which is never done in shipping cotton.
