The report in last week’s Elberton

Hartwe'l has a few inhabitants of
both sexes who might profitably learn
a less >n in consistency. These peo
ple who are your friends when a fa

at other times. This hypocrisy is
often transparent.
Complaint is made that some mis
chievous boys persist in tearing dowz

This is very annoying to people who

According to the figures recently
worked out by State School Com
missioner Bradwell, there will be
$1,058,532 52 to be given out to the
various counties of the State, and
this will be divided out to the coun
ties on the basis of their school pop
ulation as shown by the recent school
OSDsus. Hart county with a school
population of 3,880, will get $6,789.
The Ordinary has fixed the county
tax rate for this year at 59 cents and
39 mills. The State tax is 40 cents
and 61 mills. This will make one
dollar on the hundred. Thus it will
be seen that notwithstanding the
buildii g of a new jail the tax rate
this rear over that of last year is
only ten cents more on the hundred
dollars. State and county tax last
ye-.r was 90 cent# on the hundred.

People who live in a town like
ours can have no idea of the advan
tages they have over residents of
crowded cities in times like this
when money is so hard to get. Even
in Atlanta there are hundreds of
mechanics, artisans and laborers out
of employment and almost on the
charities of the public. It is deplor
able that there is such a tendency
among the young men to congregate
in the large cities.
A heavy gale of wind and rain
visited this section Sunday night.
Corn and cane were damaged by
being tangled and blown down. No
damage was done in town of conse
quence, with the exception of Mc-
Duffs photograph tent in the pub
lic square, which was demolished,
and his outfit was damaged by the
rain and falling debris. The storm
was evidently the outskirt of the
great cyclone that swept along the
Atlantic coast that same night.
Mr. H. J. Mayers, of Oakland. Md..
says: “I have sold thirteen bottles of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy to-day
and am literally sold out. This is the
largest sale on record of any one prepa
ration in a day over our counters. It
gives the best satisfaction of any cough
medicine we handle, and as a seller it
leads all other preparatiens on this
market.” For sale by S. P. Smith,

Bank Certificates.
Bank certificates seem to be the
solution of the present financial
sf rait, and are being issued in many
of the cities and towns to meet the
emergency. As will be seen below
the merchants of Hartwell have pe
titioned the directors of the Hart
well Bank to issue certificates, pledg
ing themselves to receive the same
for goods and in payment of debts,
and it is understood that the Bank
will comply with the request. Mr.
Peek, the Cashier, has gone to At
lunta to look into the plan.

To the Directors of the Hart

We, the under-igned merchants and busi

Thousand dollars in certitieates, to en

We pledge ourselves to take them the
same as money for goods and in payment
of debts.

The Watchword is Progress.
The people of Hartwell and Hart
county are to be congratulated.
Bountiful crops are rewarding with
richest harvest the toil of husbandry.
No factions, strifes, or schisms di
vide our people, but with one heart
and mutual co-operation they are
rapidly advancing their section of
country to a position of prominence
and prosperity never known hitherto.
* A prominent farmer from South
Carolina remarked on our streets the
other day that be was astonished
when he visited Hartwell. While
other- sections were complaining of
business depression and hard times,
Hartwell was forging right ahead.
And so it is. We have in the town
of Hartwell the most liberal, ener
getic and public spirited business
men to be found anywhere, and we
have in the county of Hart the most
careful, industrious, self-sustaining
and debt-paying farmers to be found
under the broad canopy of heaven~~
a citizenry who fully understand that
the surest prosperity in any com
munity is
•‘A little hoi well tilled,
And a small iiirai well til ed. ’’
But—
“ 11l fares the land, to hasteningllls a pi*.V,
When wealth accumulates and men decay.”
Hartwell will soon double its pop
ulation, if the houses are built. When
we look around ai.d see beautiful
residences being er. cted on eve- y
band, great blocks of brick build
ings going up, and the foundations
being laid for the cotton factory, we
can but feel elated the rapid ad
vance of our section and the future
prosperity that will crown it.
In the attainments made hitherto
The Hartwell Sun, one of the most
important institutions of our county,
deserves a rich meed of praise.
From the day it «as founded in out
town about i-eyenpien years ago do"'n
to the present time—through all the
changes of proprietors—but with
genial, big-hearted Magill always at
die helm, it has ever raised its voice
and pen in developing the section
and upholding ‘‘whatsoever things
are pure and of good rep irt."
But befoie concluding these hur
riedly penned thoughts, let me again
refer to the richest jewel in <>u.
crown < f good things, to-wit: T
Hartwell Institute, Let our peopl
stand shoulder to shoulder ana be»i t
to heart in building up the greatest
institution of learning to be found
throughout the country. Lot stu
dents understand that Prof. Parker,
assisted by Mrs. Paiker, and Misses
Dodd and Hill, two well equipped
educators from Virginia, constitute a
faculty not surpassed anywhere, and
let students who come to The Hart
well Institute know that the entire
people *f the town will bo their
friends and aid them in every way
both morally and educationally. Let
all bear in mind that the fall session
opens next Monday, and parents
students, children and all should go
out to the college and give the fall
session the most splendid opening it
has ever had. Very truly,

A little boy of Mrs. McDonald's, liv
ing near here, fell against • red hot stove
and was fearfully burned. The paiiw
was terrible, and it was thought the burn
was so severe as to scar the child far
life. I sold the lady a bottle of Chatn-
Pain Balin, which, after greas
ing the sore, she applied. It soon re
moved all the fire and eased the pain,
and in ten days the boy was well, no
trace of the scar remaining. J. D. Mc-

In Memoriam.
In the death of J. Clayton Bowers,
Royston has lost one of her most bril
liant and promising young men. Clayton
was the most modest, unassuming, whole
souled boys 1 think I ever knew. There
was something about him that was at
tractive to all whom he came in contact.
He was highly appreciated by every one
that knew him for his modesty, gentle
ness, and nobleness. If he had an en
emy we do not know it. If there ever
was a boy that followed the golden rule,
-'Do unto others as you would have them
do unto you,” 1 think he did. Truly it
may be said of him that "No one knew
him but to love him, nor named him but
to praise.” As a son, he was kind, obe
dient, respectful and loving. As a friend
he was faithful, true and all that was
noble. As a student he was devoted,
dilegent and profound. He was a boy
of extraordinary Gram, much stronger
than his body. His intellect was strong,
deep and searching. We feel assured if
he had been permitted to live, that he
would have been an honor to his parents,
the pleasure of his admirers and a bless
ing to his country ; a benediction to all
with whom he come in contact, and
would have made the world better by
his having lived in it. But hew true it
is that the brightest Howers are plucked
first. There are many things that seem
strange to us, but we remember that “all
things work together fur good to them
that love the Lord," and with child-like
simplicity we submit to Bis great and
sovereign will, and look forward to the
lime when we sbalb understand these
things, and thank God that He is all
wise, and knoweth what is best for us,
and that no good doth lie withhold from
his children. The parents have the
heartfelt sympathy of every one in this
sad affliction and strange providence.
CUy too, in this world ibou wnrt nwbl*. (rand and
true,
And we feel that in heaven there waa a crown
awaiting you.

Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portions, of the ear.
Tiicre is only one way to cure Deafness,
and that is by constitutional lemedies.
Deafness is caused by an infiamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets,
intiamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en
tirely closed Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
cattarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars, free.

The Newspaper Man.
A newspaper man is, in some in
stances, like other people. He re
spects his friends, appreciates a kind
ness, and is always willing to return
a favor. In another respect he resem
bles very much his fellowmen. He
will not continue to pat a man on the
back, tell what a good man he is, and I
how much he has done for the town
and country and give him a free puff j
every week when the man will not,
through personal prejudice or other
wise, continue to aid in supporting the
paper.. In other words lie stands by
tlie man who stands by him. That’s
aliout the way of the world, and a
newspaper man can’t be expected to
be so much different from other peo
ple.—lowa Falls Citizen.
