ml Bible Thoughts memorized, will prove a H
priceless heritage in after years.
With all your heart: —And ye
shall seek me and find me when ye
shall search for me with all your
heart.—Jeremiah 29:13.

The grand old buttermilk never
causes any auto wrecks.

“Many a dark secret,” says old
Joe, "comes to light eventually.”

“I like to see a man proud of the
place in which he lives. I like to see
a man live in it so that his place is
proud of him.” —Abraham Lincoln.
Perhaps if the sewing machine
had a gas tank attached, sister
wouldn’t mind running it.—New Or

“Some of this bobbed hair is all
right,” quoths old Joseph Jones, “and
some of it isn’t, but you’ll never hear
me saying which is or which isn’t,”
he continued.
After a woman of forty has an
swered the doorbell and been asked
“is your mother in?” she isn’t going
to let her hair grow out again if
she knows it.—Detroit News.
Another thing about the luscious
buttermilk is that you never hear of
a fellow getting too full and then
testing out the quality of the chairs
over the heads of his wife and the
children.
When a man gets too old to set a
bad example he begins to give good
advice.—Hartwell Sun.
When a woman gets too ugly to
become 'attractive she becomes a
gossiper. DeKalb New Era.

The Hartwell Sun seems to have
been reading Fontaine. This sapient
comment appears: “When a man
■gets too old to set a bad example he
begins to give good advice.” Fon
taine put it: “Old men give good
advice to console themselves for be
ing no longer able to set bad ex
amples.” Maybe Fontaine was a
subscriber of The Hartwell Sun, a
most excellent paper.—O. B. Keeler,
in Atlanta Journal.
THE CHARGE OF THE BOBBED
BRIGADE
By H. MONTGOMERY
Bobbed hair to the right of us,
Bobbed hair to the left of us,
Bobbed haid behind us,
Tresses asundered.
Some with a heavy crop,
Some with a light crop,
Into a barber shop
Walked the bobbed hundred.
Women of high degree,
Women of past fifty-three.
Determined that they shall be
One of the numbered.
Women of evefy class,
Mother, daughter, little lass,
Sweetheart, sister, join the mass
Os the bobbed hundred.
Some with bangs, some without,
Some are shingled around about,
Some in curls, and some in doubt
In case they have blundered.
Some of them do look real swell,
Some of them do look like—well,
It’s sometimes not just well to tell
How they look the bobbed hundred.
—Atlanta Constitution.
o
Some Good Rules
Here are some rules that a news
paper editor hung up some 30 years
ago for the guidance of his reporters.
It is said that he followed them him
self, and that they worked well with
him, so that he made some
money, and later became president
of the United States. The original
copy hangs in the office of the Mar
ion “Star.” They are as follows:
Remember there are two sides to
every question. Get both.
Be truthful. Get the facts. I
would rather have one story exactly
right than a hundred half wrong.
Be decent. Be fair. Be generous.
Boost; don’t knock.
Remember there is good in every
body. Bring out the good and never
needlessly hurt the feelings of any
one. In reporting a political gather
ing, get the facts. Tell the story as
it is—not as you would like to have
it. Treat all parties alike.
Treat all religious matters rever
ently.
If it can possibly be avoided, never
bring ignominy to an innocent wo
man or child in telling of the mis
deeds or misfortunes of a relative.
I STAND BY STEVE SKELTON
In the primary election to be held
next Wednesday, September 10th,
1924, the people of the Northern
circuit will select a candidate for the
office of Solicitor General. Hart
county has a candidate in the person
of Steve Skelton. Born and reared
here he is known by our entire citi
zenry. In every sense of the word
he is a self-made man. For more
than twenty-two years he has prac
ticed law and is recognized as one
of the strongest members of the bar
of the state. Eight years ago the
people of the Northern circuit elect
ed him to the office of Solicitor Gen
eral, and be it said to his credit he
has made a record favorably com
parable to the record of those illus
trious officials who proceeded him.
No one has a higher and nobler con
ception of public duty than he: no
one has filled this office with greater
fairness, fidelity, and impartiality.
Kindness is a part of his very na
ture; a desire to serve and be of
service to his community and its
citizenry is the paramount motive of
his life. He has been clean in pri
vate life, an ardent supporter of
those movements of the community
that meant its material and moral
advancement. No cause of worthy
import has ever been denied his ac
tive support man or woman, boy
or girl, has ever failed to receive
from him a favor when in his power
to grant it. We feel that Steve
Skelton is an asset to this commu
nity; that the people generally have
confidence in and appreciate him for
his genuine worth.
Hart county has ever stood back
of her boys and girls in the attain
ment of their worthy and laudible
ambitions. On next Wednesday with
that loyalty and patriotism character
istic of old Hart county, Steve Skel
ton will receive such an overwhelm
ing majority of the Hart county vot
ers, that every boy and girl will know
and feel that in their upward strug
gles for success and achievements in
church, school, and the affairs of
state, every Hart county citizen, is
at all times ready to back them up.
Reports from other counties assure
his election.
Let’s stand by Steve Skelton Wed
nesday, September 10th, 1924.
If your time is worth $lO an
hour and the book agent’s price is

OAK BOWER
The meeting last week was the
best we have had in years, accord
ing to the oldest members. The
house and yard was crowded at the
night services, and the house was
filled to overflowing every day ser
vice. There were fourteen addi
tions to the membership of the
church.
At the Sunday morning services
'he church agreed to add to their
present building, and make the
building adequate for Sunday school,
B. Y. P. U., and preaching services.
\ building committee was appointed,
and they are busy this week getting
up material, subscriptions and com
pleting the plans for the church
building. All hearts rejoice in ev
ery forward step made for the
Kingdom of our God.
“FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH”
By E.8.8.Jr.
Seeing the ball-games this past
week between Mount Olivet and Reed ■
Creek created an interesting train of
bought. The two teams were pret- j
ty evenly matched and the brand of
base-ball they put out did credit to
themselves and their managers.
Along with the two teams, great
crowds from the two communities
overflowed the lield and there was
much good-natured bantering and
“rooting” such as one expects at a
real ball game. And Hartwell peo
ple turned out, too, as interested
spectators, ever mindful of keeping
a standard of strict neutrality. Reed
Creek won two of three games, the
other game going as a tie after play
ing twelve innings.
And as I sat there watching on
the first day I forgot for a few min
utes the game and instead my
thoughts drifted back to other
things. Country schools! Just a
few years back to the days when
“country schools” meant a small
building, perhaps a log hut, inade
quate. A session of schooling, short
and unsatisfactory. One teacher,
rarely ever more, who was expected
to teach everything and everybody.
Bad roads, with winter rains and
snows playing havoc with the at
tendance, for schools were isolated
then, and the children walked. Little
money to run the schools on. In
fact, not a very strong sentiment
for education.
But now, (and I looked at the two
battling teams) everything changed.
Just a few years and the whole sys
tem has been reorganized and revo
lutionized. Good roads have come.
Automobiles have paved the tvay.
No longer are there remote schools
with their discouraging environment
of failure. Instead, all over Hart
county with the aid of bond issues
and consolidation of the adjacent
communities, beautiful, modernly
equipped school buildings have
sprung up. In some sections a free
bus carries and returns the children,
to, and back. home. Instead of one
teacher, there are several. Athletics
have become a fixed part of school
life and the teams in basket-ball and
j base-ball and foot-ball “carry on”
with the best of them. And along
I with all this growth, there has arisen
a feeling of pride in each commu
nity, a new spirit of optimism, a
building up of a “morale," and in
tense belief in education. What an
age this is!
And yet sometimes when I begin
to glory and brag on present-day

A factory has been established at
Johannesburg, South Africa, to use
locusts in the manufacture of con
centrated cattle and poultry feeds.
The raw material is almost inex
haustible and a large output is an
ticipated.
What are some of the privileges
of the righteous? See Psalm 34:-
15-22.
■ times, something bobs up to put a
' dent in my feelings. Not often, but
: now and then. Most of us will
j agree that the new generation "has
it on” the older crowd from every
angle. They are more intelligent—,
these youngsters —, more alert, more
ambitious and more thoroughly well
rounded in every way. And still,
there is one fault, one blemish that
mars the perfection of their bloom,
Perhaps, I’m wrong but it seems to
me that these youngsters have not
; the proper respect for older people.
In their eyes, age means nothing
i for everyone is on the same plane.
Gray hair and the halo of sacrificing
hearts, and wearied and stooped
\ shoulders, drooping under responsi
bilities and cares of time-wearing
years seems to bring little consider-
I ation and sympathy from some of
the younger generation. Everything
is forgotten in the whirl and the
i swing of a jazz age. Perhaps I’m
' wrong. There may be just as much
respect as ever. It may be just the
sign of the times.
I was rather amused and at the ■
same time a little chagrined during '
the early days of the summer out at
the golf course at the easy fa'.riliar
ity of the caddies with the players—,
I personage of two and three times
■ these little fellows’ ages. No caddy '
i ever “mistered” anyone. It was i
: .simply “Frank,” or "Bub,” or
“Preacher Barton,” or “Tom,” with >
never a “mister” pre-fixed. Well,
> maybe I’m old-fashioned but it |
. smacked of disrespect to me, even
■ if no disrespect was meant. For I !
■ remembered when I was a boy about
the age of these little fellows I
. would have no more called an older
; person, a grown-up man, by his
: given-name than I would have bathed
in the middle of the week. O, well, ;
; who am I, to criticize! Just a j
: thought in the passing, that’s all.
> And now. gentle reader, if you’ll
■ pardon me. I’ll bring this column to
. a close for the week. The “boss” i
> writes that it’s time to get on the
s job again, so Westward I go *
I for the winter months. Stay with
I me and I’ll tell you all the “news” (

' I and you “hog-killings.” and your
i ‘ thrilling foot-ball games and movies,
