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. o We desire to recommend to the Telephone Company that hereafter all phone directories be bound in bright red covers, and printed in phosphorescent ink. It then be possible to locate one of the durn things when you need it, either day or night.—Granite City News. ————— Many a man does more kicking with his mouth than a mule does with his two hind feet.

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.

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.
