Rev. Mr. Evans, pastor of the
Baptist church, preached at the
Methodist church last Sunday. He
cooperated with the Methodist peo
ple all through their revival. We
like to see ministers work together
this way. It means not which door
a person enters paradise, because if
all right they will find plenty of
room on account of so many tak
ing the other route.—Dahlonega

Yes, Banks Should Advertise.
“Should a bank advertise? The
answer is ‘yes,’ if it has something
worth while to sell. If it is merely
a cold place, where people keep
money for the purpose of checking
it out conveniently, and where an
occasional accommodation may be
had, then it has nothing to adver
tise, and even the money that a
bank spends for what we call ‘card
ad’ in the newspaper is waste. On
the other hand, if the bank is an
institution that keeps abreast of
the times, and occasionally takes the
lead progressively in developing new
fields of service, it should be proud
‘to tell the world’ about it. In
short, that bank owes it to itself
and the community to advertise its
facilities.”—Nathan S. Jonas, pres
idtnt. Manufacturers Trust Com
pauy, New York.
“FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH”
i By the time this appears in print
Mother’s Day will have passed. That
day when all America pays tribute
to the mothers of the nation is gone
' now but the thought and sentiment
will linger with many of us all the
year. To those of us who are ob
liged to be absent from home most
of the time, who are separated from
home and the mother back there,
Mother’s Day is especially signifi
cant. It is a day when we put aside
everything else and bring back ten
der memories of our childhood days
and a faithful and loving mother
watching over us; it is a day when
we think of this and more—, of the
later years when we as older and
more mature people can appreciate
fully the great - sacrifice our mothers
have made for us. A tribute in the
form of Mother’s Day is the finest
idea I can think of to put into pub
lic praise our love and appreciation
for these mothers all over America.
No man is ever fully worthy of his
mother. No man can ever live up
to those fine traits of character that
a mother radiates to a world. Many
of us and most of us feel all this
and yet fail miserably.
Not long ago, according to “The
Delineator,” a mother vzas cleaning
out the pockets of her son’s clothes
in order that he might make a quick
change. This young man is making
good in New York. He has a keen
mind and a strong character. He
is becoming an influence for good in
his community. So, as this mother
went through the pockets she came
across an old, well-worn yellow sheet
a note she had written him when
he was eight years old, the first
time he had been separated from
her. It breathed the same thoughts
and prayers that lie in the hearts
of all mothers. She had forgotten
she had ever written it.
The young man was embarassed
for a, moment when he saw what she
held. Then he said, “That is the
most priceless possession I have. I
am going to carry it in my pocket
as long as I live. I have been
tempted to do some rotten things
in my life, and just the conscious
ness that I had that message in my
pocket, and that it came out of
your heart, has steered me straight
most of the time.”
Here is that mother’s message
which a boy carried in his pocket
until he became a man:
“Get up when called in the morn
ing.
“Wash before dressing.
“Wash your teeth. A clean mouth
belongs to a clean heart.
“Be obedient. Remember the
worjd would be crushed into pieces j
if it did not obey the law of God. j
And you must suffer if you do not
obey.
“Be thoughtful. Only cowards lie.
You are not a coward.
“Be kind. It is the greatest gift
in the world.
“Don’t forget that you have
promised to do some kind act ev
ery day.
“Wash your face hands before
going to the table.
“Remember that your father is a
gentleman. In his absence it up to
you to prove it. A gentleman is
kind and truthful and clean and
quiet.
“Be interested in everything.
Have a good time.
“Remember that I love you with
all my heart.
“Say your prayers. Ask Gbd to
keep your heart clean and brave
and true and vour bodv well for
“YOUR MOTHER.”
It is a beautiful picture that Ne
braska presents to the world these
spring days—almost as a whole, the
state is strongly agricultural. In
any direction one travels, on the
railroad, on highway, one passes
farm after farm, neat, orderly,
prosperous looking. Buildings
strongly constructed, newly paint
ed, all bunched together with the
fertile acres surrounding reaching
as far as the eye can see. Land
rolling, and fertile. Cattle on ev
ery farm, lots of them. A prosper
ous, pleasing picture if one likes
farming or even if one’s taste is
not in that direction. An especial
ly pleasing picture now, because Ne
braska at this time of the year is
green and everything fully alive
with the yoke of winter’s bleakness
thrown off.
As I have remarked before, Ne
braska people are a sincere lot of
folks. They are big, blonde fel
lows, these men out here, healthy,
glowing with life. The girls are
pretty, but never strikingly beauti
ful. rather too large for womanly
beauty. Glowing cheeks, sparkling
eyes. Very, very healthy. But the
finest thing that I know of in this
world I can say about Nebraska peo
ple both boys and girls and men and
women—they are sincere and de
pendable. If they are your friend
they give you the best there is in
friendship. They do not flatter.
They are not gushing. They are
plain, siniple, direct. A wonderful
state and a wonderful people in ev
ery way.
One of the most amazing traits
of the modern day youth is his var
ied nature. It seems we are slow
ly but surely developing a new race
. of people who are really all-round
men, combining athletic powers with
musical ability seems an odd mix-

THE HARTWELL SUN, HARTWELL, GA., MAY 16, 1924
By
ture but it is a very common sight
these days. I know of many of the
finest college foot-ball and baseball
stars who are also finished musi
cians. All through the West I have
found some splendid musicians
these years. This is a very musi
i cal section of the country. It seems
every other boy out here either plays
the piano exceedingly well or can
make a violin vibrate with joy or
sadness or can do surprising stunts
j with a saxophone. And it hasn’t
been so long back when any boy
who played a piano was a “sissy!”
What would the world be without
music! Music to cheer the soul, to
inspire, to lift up a weary body, to
brighten the drabness of life! Mu
sic to weave romances, and to fill
the heart to the overflowing with
the gladness of life, itself. There’s
no doubt of it, it can wield a ter
rific influence and power. The most
callous of men can be approached
through its aid. As long as I live
I shall never forget the old Camp
meeting of years ago with all the
memories attached. I can sit back
and hear those grand old hymns be
ing sung with only a fervor that
camp-meetings know. Can’t you
hear them singing “How Firm a
Foundation?”
All over the West there are places
where I like to go and sit, for a few
minutes or for an hour, and listen
to a -wonderful orchestra. To sit
back and relax, eat perhaps, forget
everything outside and let good mu
sic sway me. These are the times
when Life seems very sweet and the
world is rose-colored. There’s the
Bronders in Omaha, The Brown-Pal
ace in Denver, The Adolphus in Dal
las, the famous Texas Hotel in Fort
Worth—•, all delightful resting places
where one can be entertained by
the hour.
Out in Boulder, Col '., the towns
people and the coilage folk got
many chuckles over a recent wed
ding. The Acting Dean of men at
the University of Colorado's nam
ed Howe. He recently married a
Miss Strange. Anyway the affair
has gone down into college history
as the “How Strange Affair.”

An old lady kept a parrot which
was always swearing. She could put
up with this tjll Saturday, but on
Sunday she kept a Cover over the
cage—removing it on Monday morn
ing. This prevented the parrot
from swearing on Sunday.
One Monday afternoon she. saw
her minister coming toward* her
house; so she again placed the cover
over the cage. As the reverend gen
tleman was about to step into the
parlor, the parrot remarked:
“This has been a darn short
week.”
THE MARKET OUTLOOK
Cotton crop prospects and mar- I
ket conditions:
It continues to look as if the pres- , I
ent indicated acreage would be ;
about 5 per cent greater than last
year altho the crop preparations so |
far are comfortably ten to fifteen ■
days later than at this time last |
year. The nights have been too |
cool and the ranifall generally pre
venting at this time much if any
activity towards the planters recov
ering from their present backward
start. The nights have been too
cold to permit of general germina
tion and the entire Belt needs badly
warm dry weather for four to six
weeks to come. An increased acre
age means nothing compared to the
small supply of high priced ineffi
cient labor and the natural expecta
tion of boll weevil aggression some- .
where between July 15th and Aug- i
ust 15th.
Weather conditions at this writ
ing and for some months to come |
will exercise a controlling influence i
as to the trend for new crop prices, |
while the continued liberal exports :
will naturally leave the supply of I
raw cotton in America so small as ■
to give the owners of present >
unsold stock complete control until 1
the advent of new’ crop cotton which
naturally will be well into and be- j
yond the month of September. A |
forecast of the eventual course of I
the market at the present critical !
period is fraught with so many “ifs ■
and ands” as to make it impossible ’
for anyone to intelligently suggest '
what the near future will bring |
about.

Hartwell Will Help, Too
Royston is going to entertain the
next District Press Convention.
This gathering will take place June
13 and will bring together almost
all the editors of the eighth and
ninth districts. The city of Roys
ton is amply capable of doing the
stunt of entertaining their guests on
this occasion. However, if they wish
anything said or done on this end
of the line to make the convention
a greater success, they w’ill only have
to whisper it once.—Lavonia Times.

From Our Readers
Hartwelll, Ga., May 12, 1924.
Dear Editors Sun:—We note that
most of the stores in our town have
voted to observe the 6 o’clock clos
ing rule; this gives the employees
an hour or two of much appreciated
freedom during the long summer
days. So far, good, but why not
keep pace with other progressive
towns by observing a half holiday
each week while the weather is hot?
Gainesville, Quitman and other
towns have half holidays on Thurs
day—and Atlanta on Saturday.
If it works well for them why not
for us? Let’s close up and “go a
fishin’.”
LICERA.
METHODIST CHURCH
Our congregation joined in the
union service Sunday evening at
the Baptist church, when all Hart
well paid tribute to the retiring pas
tor, Rev. G. J. Davis, who has done
such a great work in our midst the
past six years. We will miss him,
but pray God’s richest blessings on
him and the family as they leave for
their new work at Marietta.
The Epworth League will be well
represented at the Elberton District
League Institute to be held in El
berton Saturday and Sunday.
—o —
A number of prominent workers
from Atlanta and other places will
assist District Secretary J. H. Baker,
of Hartwell, in the twro-day program.
A large delegation of our Lay
men will attend the meeting in Com
merce Friday. Mr. A. F. Bell is
Church Lay Leader, and Prof. J. I.
Allman District Lay Leader. Our
pastor, Rev. J. H. Barton, will also
attend.
All the Missionary Societies of the
church will be represented in the an
nual District meeting held at Com
merce this Thursday and Friday.
—o —
The Board of Stewards were de
lightfully entertained at their reg
ular monthly meeting last Thursday
night by Chairman and Mrs. A. F.
Bell, at their hospitable home on
Howell street. Following the busi
ness session a course of refreshments
was served by Mrs. Bell, assisted by
Mrs. T. J. Cunningham.
The pageant celebrating the Ep
worth League anniversary, “To Vis
ions Heights,” was given Wednes
day evening to a large congregation.
The Hartwell League is one of the
best in the Elberton District.
A good congregation was present
Sunday morning at Sunday school
and church, despite the inclement
weather. A special “Mother’s Day”
sermon by our pastor was enjoyed,
and proved truly an inspiration to
ever hearer.

Speed
Tender—“ Pat, I bet that I was on
a faster train than you.”
Second —“I bet ycu weren’t.”
Tender—“ The train I was on went
so fast that the Telegraph poles look
ed like a board fence.”
Second—“ That’s, nothing. I was on
a train going through the country one
time when we passed a field of beets,
then we passed a field of corn, then a
field cf onions, then a pond of water,
and we were going so fast it looked
like vegetable soup.”
Fancy work is the busy woman’s

the exception of one, getting one
of those ribbons that are so much
wanted.
This was the first meet of its
kind ever held in Hartwell, and even
though not in practice the boys dis
played real athletic ability .

Only one more week of school
during this year. What do you
think about it? One week—then a
long vacation of about twelve
weeks. In the minds of those who
are trying to hurry up school the
one week will be about as long as
the twelve weeks. At least, that’s
my psychological viewpoint.
This past year has been a success
in many ways—take, for instance,
the athletic; we only lost two games
in football, and only two in basket-

That is a question that every stu

college education in very essential
in this day of educated people. ’Ti s
true that many boys and girls waste
the four years spent behind the col
lege doors, but if you have the grit
and ambition, then by all means—
“Go to College.”
With the many good colleges the
South possesses an education can be
had without going many hundred
miles to get it. If you haven’t the
financial backing to help you through
college, do as many great leaders
have done and with the words of
Willie Upshaw on your lips continue
until you make the climb. Willie,
although crippled, continued working
and with this motto has set the
world athinking—“Let nothing dis
courage you, never give up.”
It’» All Over Now.
The Hartwell High baseball team
closed the 1924 season by receiv
ing a defeat at the hands of the
Royston midgits the other day. On
ly four games were played during
the season, and many more would
have been played but for the numer
ous interruptions. I
For a team without a manager I
think this is a pretty good record:
Hartwell 4—Royston 3.
Hartwell 13—Lavonia 12.
Hartwell 7—Lavonia 1.
Hartwell 3—Royston 4.
