THE HARTWELL SUN
Tourist Travel Is
Heaviest It Has
* Ever Been
. I
Lure of Warm Winter Brings Largest
Tourist Travel In History of
Bankhead Highway
Hartwell tells the tourists to “get
on the grass” instead of “keeping
off,” and many a night Court Square
is packed with tents, big and little,
from all over the North and East.
Truly, if the number passing
through and stopping over day and
night is any indicaition, Florida is in
for the biggest year she has ever
had.
Ford and Cadillac alike share the
hospitality of Hartwell and the occu
pants pitch their tents with a feel
ing of security as lights and police
man afford ample protection during
the night.
Some have been coming via Hart
well for several years, and occasion
ally a familiiar face is seen by our
people. Many say the Bankhead
is the only route to Florida.
One who chances to pass along the
camping grounds of the tourists on
Court Square shortly after the sun
has sought its resting place behind
the western horizon will see a mina
ture city of the real tourists. If
one would pause a few moments near
this camping ground late in the after
noon, he would see this city roll up
on four wheels packed carefully and
then almost in a flash he would real
ize that a tented city had been built
and people were hurryiing about,
bringing out the cooking utensils,
preparing for supper after the day’s
ride possibly of two hundred miles
or more.
Just like a real city, this tented
city soon becomes quiet after supper
as the tourists seek rest in prepara
tion for the trip the comiing day.
With the arrival of daybreak, this
tented city takes to wheels once
more and is off for the remainder of
the journey. And so it goes with
these people until they have reach
ed their destination.
Hartwell welcomes these visitors to
our midst.
Tallulah Falls
School
Fifteen years ago a small group
of women under the direction of Mrs.
M. A. Lipscomb, of Athens, organized
and financed a small one room school
at Tallulah Falls. This school was
founded because of the need in that
section, of educational advantages.
The goodness of these women was
advertised and day by day the good
work was carried on, until a large
plant was erected, and, boarding
pupils were admitted. The only
charge required, was just what could
be paid from the meager funds of
the family.
This work has gained by “leaps and
bounds” so to speak, and has de
veloped into such an institution that
it is known all over the state as the
little school, with great possibilities,
“The Light of the Mountain.”
The women of Georgia have main
tained this institution, and are work
ing that its great possibilities may be
made many fold. Atlanta women
alone have raised $20,000 of the re
quired $40,000 for a new domitory,
and class room. The state at large
is asked for the other $20,000. This
is truly home missionary work, lend
ing a helping hand to Georgia sons
and daughters who are unable to
help themselves. Many of these
pupils are orphans, and others who
could not otherwise learn to read
and write.
The Auto Tire Co., of Hartwell,
having heard of this need for funds
and desiring to help this worthy
cause, have offered to give a gen
erous per cent of all cash sales Sat
urday, Nov. 1. . ~
Will you not help m this great
cause, by giving to them your pat
ronage on this day? By so doing you
will aid in one of Georgia’s greatest
undertakings. You will add your bit
in shedding the rays of light over
the mountain section of our state,
thereby helping to erase the stigma
of Georgia’s illeteracy.

We desire to recommend to the
Telephone Company that hereafter

things when you need it, either day
or night.—Granite City News.

HARTWELL, HART COUNTY, GA., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1924
JUDGE OF STONE
MOUNTAIN CIR
CUIT PRESIDES
The August adjourned term of
Hart Superior Court convened Mon
day morning at 9 o’clock with Judge
J. B. Hutcheson, of the Stone Moun
tain Circuit, presiding; Solicitor-
General Steve Skelton representing
the State, Reporter Haynes, Clerk
Jno. G. Richardson, Sheriff Lrown
and all the other court attaches.
The Grand Jury, following Judge
Hutcheson’s charge, went into im
mediate session.
Mr. T. M. Myers was named Fore
man, with Mr. H. B. Webb as Clerk
and Mr. B. B. Mason as assistant.
Many important matters have come
up for their consideration during the
first three days of the court.
Judge Hutcheson, whose home is
in Decatur, has long been recognized
as one of the State’s leading jurists.
His ability to expedite court matters
with precision and fairness has been
quickly noted by all attending court
here this week. There are a number
of cases in which our own Judge
Hodges is disqualified, hence the
visit of Judge Hutcheson.
Judge Hodges is holding court in
Decatur this week.
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
were consumed by the civil cases,
a large number having been disposed
of.
A number of important criminal
cases will be up for trial this week
end.
More interest centers around the
trial, perhaps, of Mr. Hobson Vick
ery, than any other case just at this
time. He is held for the death of
Mr. Plumer Sanders, who was shot
through the head Sunday, October
12th.
Court will very likely run through
Saturday, it was stated. There are
a number of visiting attorneys and
people from a distance interested in
various cases.
LEGION MEET
The Hart Cqanty Post American
Legion will hold its regular meeting
Friday night at 7:30 o’clock in the
Legion Hall.
All members urged to attend and
visitors welcome.

Hart Fair Best Ever Held
“Harvest Festival” Closed Saturday
Night After Brilliant Program
Laiting Three Day*
What was conceded Hart county's
best Fair in perhaps every depart
ment, all things considered, closed
in. a blaze of glory last Saturday
night, after having been witnessed
by enormous crowds during the day
and still larger attendance each
night. ♦
To go into detail regarding the
various exhibits of interest, the lec
tures and demonstrations, and every
thing else that moved off so smoothly
and effectively during the three-day
exposition would take columns of
space. _
To give credit to all beside Mr.
Bingham and Miss McLanahan would
be impossible. Aided by committees
that were willing and able to lend
every co-operation, the whole event
moved off without the slightest hitch.
“Agricultural Day,” “Educational
Day” and the “Patriotic Day” as the
finale on Saturday all were made
attractive with programs that brought
good crowds and sent them back
home with an abundance of informa
tion and entertainment.
“The Fair was a great success”
said everyone,—and there are some
who already speak of an even great
er Hart County Exposition in 1925.
The crowing of the Queen of
Hart County, Miss Sarah Pearman,
on Friday night drew a packed house;
with her beautiful attendants, seven
other beautiful girls, Misses Lucy
Mae Moorhead, Edna Ayers, Mattie
Ruth Gurley, Jo Bailey, Lena pearl
Shirley, Nellie Adams and Ruth
Herndon, augmented by talent from
the D. A. R’s, the school and other
sources, this event was one of splen
dor..
Exhibits this year included the
Community Exhibits, live stock,
agripultural, the woman’s depart
ment, club exhibits, cotton, corn, etc.,
poultry, school work, and scores of
othejr attractive displays of Hart
county’s wonderful resources both
of the soil and her natives’ handi
work.
Truly, it was a great Fair.
The list of prize winners in every
department appears either this week
or next in The Sun.
