The variety of amusements at the
fair this year will be greater than
ever. It is expected that the Hart
County Fair will have the highest
class of amusements of any county
fair in the state of Georgia, and a
greater variety.
One afternoon will see a football
game with Hartwell High and Roys
ton. Program will be announced lat
er. The schools in session over the
county will stage a basketball tourna
ment. The above two contests are
open air and free.
Horse Shoe Pitching Contest.
A new free open air contest this
, year will be a horse shoe pitching
tournament between the horseshoe
pitchers of Hart county. This is
a tournament that has been taking
the country by storm out through
the West. Last year one county
seat in lowa bid for the national
championship tournament, and the
event, with nothing else, attracted
14,000 people. The winner pitched
49 ringers out of 50 pitches. Blue
prints have been secured for laying
off the grounds, and it is expected
that fifty players will take part in
the tournament. Ask for printed
sheet on “How to Pitch Horseshoes,”
according to national players. Ask
for directions on how to set stobs,
kind of shoes to use, etc.
Rides.
Rides will be there in abundance.
Merry-go-rounds, Ferris wheels, sea
planes, etc., will be on hand, and
have already been traded for.
Shows.
We have succeeded in trading with
some of the best and highest class
► independent shows in the country.
Jack King’s No. 1* show will be with
us for the Fair. This is a treat for
■those who have known this show in
the past. Negotiations are now go
ing on with magicians, vaudevilles,
and dramatic companies to play on
the grounds and in the auditorium of
the school.
In addition to the above there will
be novelty stands, and other high
class, clean concessions, which every
one will feel free to play.
Crowning of Queen.
j One spectacular event will be the
'* Crowning of the Queen of Hart
County, which is to be put on at
night. This wil be a most brilliant
event, gorgeous in every respect,
staged by the D. A. R.
Fireworks.
An elaborate program of fireworks
will be displayed each night. The
program will be entirely new, the
latest pyrotechnics of the year will
be used, and the effects will be startl-
L ing to those who have seen much fire
works, as well as to all.
Band Is Coming.
The brass band will be on hand
for music. A Fiddlers’ Convention
is to be sought again, and we hope
to have definite announcements on
this next week.
Dr. Soule.
Dr. Andrew M. Soule, President
of the State College of Agriculture,
Athens, Ga., will address the people
of the county on Thursday, October
16th. It is hoped that he will have
an eroumous crwd to hear him.

Rev.. W. A. Duncan phoned the
chairman of the pulpit committee
late Saturday that he had accepted
the call of the church as pastor and
hoped to be in Hartwell about the
first of October which is only a few
days off. When R. E. Matheson
made this announcement the church
expressed its delight by a unanimous
rising vote.
Bro. Duncan is now pastor of the
First church at Eastman.
The committee on nominations for
officers of the Sunday school made
their report which was accepted with
unanimous favor. Only a few
changes were made in the personnel
and those that were made were most
ly by request of those who were hold
ing positions.
Mr. Jas. H. Skelton, who has serv
ed so well for many years, requested
to be retired for the present. In
deference to his wishes, though re
luctantly, his request was granted,
and T. S. Mason was nominated and
elected as superintendent for the
next ensuing year which commences
October Ist.
Julius Johnson was the leader of
the prayermeeting Wednesday even
ing. Julius is a popular young man.
His decision to prepare himself for
the greatest usefulness as a minister
of the gospel is hailed with delight
by his relatives and many friends.
He left to enter Mercer University

A good attendance in Sunday
j school. Rev. M. H. Massey, a be
loved pastor, was present and con
tributed an interesting and inspiring

TWOAREHURT
AT DEADMAN’S
CURVE
I
I ■
| Another near-fatal accident oc
■ curred at the dangerous Major’s mill
curve in Anderson county, S. C., last
Thursday afternoon, when a Willys-
Knight touring car driven by Mr. E.
E. Davis, of Greenville, S. C., plung
ed into the steep bank on the right,
almost demolishing the car and seri
ously injuring Mrs. Davis, who was
on the side next to the bank.
From the looks of the auto it was
going at a pretty rapid speed when
the accident occurred, the windshield
and top being broken, two wheels
completely twisted off and the ma
chine otherwise damaged.
Dr. B. C. Teasley, of Hartwell, was
passing just as the car plunged into
the bank and with the assitance of
i Mr. Z. L. Burriss, of Anderson, car
ried Mr. and Mrs. Davis to the hos
pital there. Mr. Davis was only
bruised, his wife receiving serious
cuts about the head and being badly
bruised on the shoulder. Recovery
was doubtful at first, but it is stated >
by the hospital authorities that she ;
will get all right.
Three Already Killed.
Three persons have already been
killed at the Major’s mill curve, which
is on the Bankhead Highway just
beyond the Savannah River. Signs
and railings designating the curve
fail to stop the autoists.
When anything happens to a mar
ried man his wife always remembers
tha tshe told him so.
When a woman wants to annoy
her husband she tells him that sre is
going to clean house.

I “TOURIST” COVERS OVER
65,000 MILES WITH HORSE
AND BUGGY; HERE IBTH
“From Connecticut! to Florida
With a Horse and Buggy,” might
i have been the title of a book, —but
it isn’t, and Prof. George D: Brown,
' author and traveler, of Simsburg,
I Conn., stopped over in Hartwell last
Thursday long enough to prove the
I reality of the statement.
He is traveling in a buggy from
Connecticutt to Florida, where he
will spend the winter months. It is
said that his horse, “Handsome Dick,"
is eleven years old, and that he had
been driving him ever since he was
two years old.
Prof. Brown has been in twenty
five states and Mexico in his eleven
years of travel and estimated that
he has covered 65,000 miles of ter
ritory. During his travels he has
gathered material for a book which '
has been published. The book is j
entitled “From Coast to Coast,” and
was written while Prof. Brown was in i
California.
The bad weather of the past week I
delayed the traveler some, but he
left Hartwell Thursday afternoon,
reaching Athens the next day.

citizen of Hartwell and the county,
has been named general Chairman
for Hart county in th£ annual Red i
Cross “Roll Call” which is set for
Monday and Tuesday, November

The roll call is a nation-wide event,
and gives to the great Red Cross
organization funds with which to
help the needy in time of flood,
drouth, and various forms of dis
aster.
The work of the Red Cross has
very forcibly been brought home to
Hart county people this year, the
sum of $1,000.00 being donated by
the organization to the ones losing
| their crops in the hail storm. This
sum was also augmented by local
contributions, running the total con
siderably beyond the stated amount.
All of this was done through the Red
Cross.
Mr. I. J. Phillips has been Chair
man of the Hart County Chapter
of the American Red Cross for sev
eral years, and he has acted wisely
