DOUBLE - HEADED SNAKE
PROVED AN ATTRACTION
HERE LAST WEEK-END
One of the most interesting exhi
bits our people have seen in years, and
perhaps the only one of its kind, was
a double-headed snake brought in last
Thursday by Mr. Reuben H. Martin,
prominent Reed Creek citizen.
The snake had two perfectly formed
heads, and frequently the observer
could see two tongues flash forth at
once and four twinkling eyes all on
cni body. The reptile was perfectly
formed. One of Mr. Martin’s daugh
ters caught the snake near their home.
If possible, Mr. Martin will keep
the snake alive and exhibit at the
Reed Creek and Hart County Fair
soon.
A large crowd saw the freak here
last week-end. It is thought to be
either a ground rattler or highland
mocasin.
o-
SUN’S NEW DEPARTMENT
A new feature is added to The Sun
this week— a special article on the
latest music releases. Note this und
er the special heading. The depart
ment is edited by composers and ar

Score 41-0
By JACK CRAFT
Hartwell High lived up to her rep
utation by taking the second game of
the season from Toccoa by the score
of 41 to 0 last Friday.
The game was uneventful and with
out interest for the first two periods,
the only thrill coming when Hartwell
held Toccoa on the three yard line.
Hartwell taking the ball and Martin
punting cut of danger. Martin scored
the first touch down on linebuck in the
first quarter.
The real show begin in the, second
half when Kyle Massev intercepted a
forward pass and ran 65 yards for a
touchdown. Hartwell went wild with
excitement. A hitherto uninteresting
game now became a game of a thou
sand thrills and in succession, Mar
tin, Morris, Skelton C. and Skelton S.
carried the pigskin over for touch
downs.
It would be hard to mention the
real stars of the game. For Toccoa
Collins the great f illback did all the
line nlunging and three fourths of the
tackling. Toccoa’s line was impreg
nable and no spirit was lacking. If
Toccoa’s backfield had lived up to the
reputation of her line no doubt the
story would be different.
To mention the stars for Hartwell
would mean the naming of the whole
team. W. Morris, the old steady half
was good for fifteen and twenty-five
yards most any minute. Martin was
there with the needed line plunging
and the educated toe, overgoing forty
yards on his punts and doing perfect
work on sending the oval through the
bars for the extra point.
Massey starred on interference and
defensive work. Bailey gave a fine
exhibition of running interference,
playing end and halfback. Skelton
C. led his team like a veteran field
general. This is his first year at this
P'. sition and we predict great things
or him in the future. At all times he
is master of the situation both on of
fense and defense. Skelton, Schafer,
the vuratile tackle and captain of
Hartwell’s team was a star as usual.
Playing with injuries he was the
tower of strength on offense and de
fense blocking two nunts and running
for a touchdown after picking up a
fumble. Jenkins, the man who has
has never been knocked out was there
ono every play and held down his posi
tion at tackle in a 100 per cent man
ner. Brown and Shiflet played great
ball at guard with Martin, W. and
Sanders K., showing up in great style
at the same position. Magill played
the same great game at end. John
son, J., was substituted at end and
looked good for the first trv out. Mann
and Wilcox were great substitutes in
the backfield.
Hartwell gives Toccoa credit for the
Lt. Governor Mundy
Speaks Here-Friday
County Agent Pitts of Elbert
Told of Great Value In
Cover Crops Here
There are 70,000 pounds of nitro
gen hanging over every acre of dirt,”
said County Agent I). J. Pitts, cf El
. bert, speaking before the Hartwell
■ Kiwanis Club last Friday, which w.s
' devoted to a “Cover Crop Program,”
■ and which proved an eye-opener to
many who had not studied this phase
cf agriculture very extensively.
Mr. Pitts, who is one of Elbert
county’s leading farmers and stock
growers, said millions of dollars worth
of this valuable fertilizer is lost an
nually simply because cover crops
were not planted to draw it from the
air and deposit it in the soil, thereby
enriching the land and making it pro
duce as never before.
Those who heard Mr. Pitts were
convinced that he knows cover crops
and those wh know him intimately
in Elbert know he profits by his
knowledge. He boosted burr and crim
son clovers, with which he has had
great success.
Cover crops for all the open land in
Hart this winter is a program many
leading Hart farmers are agitating.
“Uncle Isham” a Visitor
The Club enjoyed a spicy talk
from “Uncle Isham” Teasley, of Bow
man, and one of the best known citi
zens of this section. He was the
guest of his son, Kiwanian Dr. B. C.
Teasley.
Mundy Coming
President Matheson announced that
Lt. Governor Mundy, of the District
of Georgia Kiwanis International
would address the Club on Friday of
this week.
Play November 2nd
Announcement was made of the
play “Tea For Three,” to be put on
by a company here Friday night, No
vember 2nd. This is believed to be
one of the best plays ever brought
here, and a large house will greet the
players, who come under auspices of
the Club and the Asheville Lyceum
Bureau. This will be given the sec
ond night of the Hart County Fair as
an added attraction.
Enthusiastic Fair Talk
Kiwanian J. 11. Skelton talked of
the great progress being made on the
Fair program, which comes off No
vember Ist. He was followed by Ki
wanian Steve Skelton, who added some
appropriate remarks concerning thia
approaching attraction.
Bar ton-Skelton Row
Kiwanian J. H. Skelton and Kiwan
| ian J. Hamby Barton, sky pilot for
the Methodists, had a lively and hum
orous tilt when the former objected
to the after-dinner appearance of Rev.
Barton’s pip<" which he (Skelton)
said besmacked, as it were, of some
age. Whereupon, upon suggestion of
Kiwanian Barton that he (Skelton)
didn’t like his pipe, he should furnish
him (Barton) with a box of 10c cig
ars to be smoked on the occasion of the
weekly luncheon. And whereupon the
Club unanimous!v voted that he (Skel
ton) do so. The box of fine cigars
will be presented at the Friday meet
ing to Barton at Skelton’s expense.
HARTWELL BANK JOINS IN
“COVER CROP” CAMPAIGN
FOR ALL HART COUNTY
As noted in their ad this week, The
Hartwell Bank, one of the leading fin
ancial institutions in Northeast Geor
gia, is heartilv joining in “Cover Crop
Campaign” which is being so exten
sively talked by leading farmers of
Hart county.
The thousands of pounds of nitro
gen that hang within reach over every
acre of land need only to be coaxed
into the soil, giving each acre fertilizer
worth many dollars for other crops and
building up the lands to a paying ba
sis.
Cover crops are being talked all over
Hart now, and The Hartwell Bank
wants the people of Hart to know its
officers, many of whom are dirt far
mers, are vitally interested in this
campaign.
See their special ad this week and
their interesting, helpful ads each
