Business is getting better. Now is the time to buy a farm. o The undertaker owes a lot to the automobile. A fellow’s views as to speed limits usually change after he gets a car. o A fool and his money usually have plenty of company so long as they keep company. — Old Joe Jones says sometimes he sits and thinks, and then sometimes he just sits. n A modiste in New York says, “Clothes make the woman.” And old Joe Jones says, “Yes, and they break the man.” o Some people have big ideas, and some people just have big words. Neither amount to much without a i little action. Scientists tell us that fish play games. Doubtless you’ve seen many suckers playing the ponies and los ing. o You never see a bunch of revenue officers raiding the old churn and taking off so many gallons of the grand old buttermilk. “Lucky is he, who, having an auto, can run it and still be able to pay all his other debts.”—Joe Jones Pro verb No. 1. o The young chap who works his way through college is pretty apt to work his way through life success fully. o - You never hear of that crowd up at the Sheriff's office bringing in 20 or 25 gallons of the grand old but termilk and pouring it out before the Hart county court house. i* —n—— Football. ”• When the team begins to win Then the home folks broadly grin; When again it badly slumps Then it puts them in the dumps.

This egg has a tail two inches long. This egg is more than a curiosity. It’s a comet.—Lavonia Times. o A Chicago professor asserts that there is “a remarkable preponderance of the constructive revolutional ener gies of the earth over its agitative vibratory energies.” We've been worrying about that very thing for some time. ■ .... o Vote For The Queen. They are voting for the prettiest girl in Hart county to be crowned Oueen of the Pageant at the Hart County Fair. Come on, boys, and vote for your choice. Lavonia Times. ■ -o .. ■ The story is told on an editor who recently wrote a “puff” for the belle of the ball, saying: “Her dainty feet were encased in shoes that might have been for fairy boots.” but the compositor made it read: "Her dirty feet were encased in shoes that might have been taken for ferry boats.”—Dahlonega Nugget. o Old Joe Jones was talking about eating the other night to the scribe. •'You know,” he says, “I’ve been around a whole lots and I have *et' at some big events, but I never have reached the point where I could get up sufficient nerve to pick up the first implement and start the nail rolling. I’d rather wait and see which kffiece of silverware somebody else going to use first," he said. ‘TOR WHAT IT’S WORTH” By E.8.8.,Jr. Cotton must be in all of its glory | now in Hart county. I can sit back as I write this and see the fields of white, the acres of well-tilled ground f with row upon row of stalks, weight , ed down with snowy whiteness, the hot sun boiling down upon the army of cotton pickers, the chant of the negro singers as they pick steadily on until the dark of evening. I can see all this and more. The cotton piled lup at the farm houses. The loading of the wagons for the gin. The hum ! and roar of cotton gnns. The loaded : wagons of cotton going to town. : Depot street (“Wall Street”). With its cotton buyers and cotton sellers, a rush from morning until night if the market be good. King cotton! It is to the South what tobacco is to Ken tucky or wheat and corn to the West. We who live in Hart county are fortunate this year. Crops are good and prices will be equally as good, in my opinion. As a matter of fact, it seems, that joy reigns in all sec tions of the cotton-belt for cotton will bring good cheer in form of cash. Out here in Oklahoma they are raising a bumper crop this year. According to Carl H. Robinson, sta tistician for the federal department of agriculture at Oklahoma City, Oklahoma’s cotton crop this year is the second largest in the United States, being topped only by Texas. Oklahoma’s cotton crop is estimated at 1,289,000 bales and at present prices is worth approximately SIBO,- 000,000 including the cotton seed. Texas, as first, will yield 4,284,000 bales and Georgia as third, 1,209,- 000 bales. Then comes Arkansas, and Mississippi. Picking is well un der way out here and mixed with the oil money, always prevalent through the state, there is a feeling of opti mism and happiness that reminds one of the “good times” a few years back. And speaking of oil, it is still spurting and sending its rich bounty to the lucky ones through the state. Flowing Gold! What a boon it has beea to the adventurer and the plunger! What a tremendous factor it has been in the very life of Okla homa. The lowly Indian of years ago, deprived of his rightful lands, is given the poorest land in the state by the Government, a few years ago. Now, it is the richest for oil came forth and the magic wand of wealth was waved, and, io! “There ain’t no poor Indians.” In August, 26 new petroleum companies were organ ized in Oklahoma. Their total cap ital reaches the immense sum of $67,479,000! This compares with 31 companies formed in July, with a total capital of $57,135,000, and 33 companies in June. Flowing Gold! And the lucky Indian! I remarked once before, that the Osage tribe of Indians in Oklahoma is the richest and most aristocratic of all Indian folk. They are intel ligent, shrewd, and hold their heads high. They have married, and inter married into the best white families of the state. They are taking strong places in the colleges and the busi ness world. They are beginning to take hold of the reins in state poli tics and Government affairs. And yet once the Government laughed at them and pushed off some undesir able land on them. Now look! This A GIRL SHOULD BE TAUGHT To be gentle. To value time. To dress neatly. w . Tv keep a secret.

We have it from reliable author ity that the Dixie Company, that owns the auto bus lines from Atlan ta to Athens and Macon, Ga., during the month of July cleared $2,000 after paying all expenses. A gallon of gasoline will carry one of these vehicles eight miles. When the link in the Bankhead Highway between Danielsville and Royston is put in condition for winter travel the ser vice will be extended from Athens to Washington. D. C.

THE HARTWELL SUN, HARTWELL, GA., SEPTEMBER 26, 1924 week, September Osage payments from the Government from oil boun ties will begin with $3,200 to be paid each of the 2,229 members of the Osage tribe holding a head right, i The September payment is the third quarterly payment this year, the total per capita payments so far be ing $8,900.00. The payment start ing Wednesday will total $7,132,300. However, Oglahoma is not entire ly a state of rich people. Just like it is, at home there are the poor ones mixed in—, “even as you and I.” A great many have to get out and hustle for a living. There are just as many beggars out here as anywhere and there are the same sort of charities to support and to nourish as is the case in Georgia. The friendliness, the democracy, the hos piatlity of all classes in Oklahoma is the finest asset I know of, for the state. No stranger escapes it. It is an accepted fact. Here at Norman, I have been com ing for many years. At first for only one trip a year and then in the last few years, several trips each year. Everyone vies with each oth er in trying to be just a little nicer to a visitor than the other, that hojds true throughout the whole city hie. The college gives you a welcome, the students all speak, the Fraterni ties and Sororities offer their hos pitality in sincere tones, the towns people remember you and accept you and thus it goes all the way round. And the little hotel here keeps just the same pace. For years and years I have stop ped here with the Langfords who own the hotel. They welcomed me at the very first. They make me feel at home. They did those little extra things for my comfort that made me feel very close to them and to them all I was, and still am, just plain “Enoch” (as I want to be to everybody). And then at nights, af ter a hard day’s work when I come in, tired and weary and sometimes discouraged, we would all sit by the fire and talk and there would be something nice to eat before I went to bed. And that feeling and that hospitality still holds true. Even now, as always been the case, I feel perfectly free to go into the dining room, explore the refrigerator, and help myself to anything to eat that I may find. And now that they have learned from several years’ observa tion my “pet” food at night, I find each night at close reach a plentiful supply with all the trimmings—, crackers and butter! After all, when all is said and done, what we remember through life is those little kind things that are said to us and done for us. We quickly forget the services bought through the agency of money. We are amused at the flatterer. We pass through the years hating the patron izing person and the one who gives to us because of obligation or sel fish reasons. But those who give from the kindness of their heart, who perform from unselfish reasons, who help us along the rough spots of life purely gecause they like us and through sincere motives—, they are the ones who make life worth while and the world a good place to live in. Is it not true? —DANA.

Printers as a rule admire a well written paragraph. Their associa tion with the best thought of the world gives them an appretiation of precise English. They look upon words with much the same regard as an artist does upon his colors or as a worker in mosaic does upon his little blocks of many-hued stones, which, of themselves, express but little; but when placed in the hands of a master, who knows the value and relation of the delicate shades, tints, and full essence of colors, they lend themselves to form some rare work of art, which awakens an urge of admiration in the most unobserv ing sufficient to give pause. Yes: printers do delight in a well-written paragraph. That’s why we quote here a rare classic in English, on a frog, written by a Norwegian lad in the graded schools of Chicago. Read it twice, for the first time it may appear only funny, but it’s far more than that: “What a wonderful bird the frog are! When he stand he sit, almost. When he hop he fly, almost. He ain’t got no sense hardly. He ain’t got no tail hardly, either. When he sit he sit on what he ain’t got, almost.” o From Our Readers Hartwell, Ga., Sept. 20, 1924. Dear Mr. Editors:—To learn to appreciate home it is frequently nec essary for one to leave home. This was my experience during the sum mer just passed. In visiting many towns in Georgia, Tennessee and Kentucky, I was made to feel the many advantages offered by Hartwell over towns three times her size. In no town two thousand to ten thousand population did I find Hartwell equalled in hotel facilities and in none of them did I find busi ness houses the equal of those in Hartwell. They were also lacking in many enterprises which make for comfort and convenience. The one striking feature of them all was the lack of a first class bakery. In every restaurant or hotel in which I took a meal outside of cities, inquiry elicited the fact that all of their bread was ordered from city baker ies. A struggle on numerous occa sions with stale bread, frequently of inferior quality, made me appreciate more than ever the* wonderful ad vantages possessed by Hartwell in having a real first class bakery where the best of service is afforded at all times. It speaks well for the busi ness judgment of a citizenship jthat stands loyally by home enterprises and makes such a thing possible. Truly Hartwell is a great city. J. I. ALLMAN.
