The Hartwell Bank
The Hartwell Bank was established
, Aug 23, 1889, and became a State
Depository when the law was passed
in 1895 directing the Governor to
’ name banks in towns and cities as
depositories for the State.
The bank first started in a corner
of a store room now occupied by T.
I. Vickery on the corner of Depot
and Elbert street. The business soon
outgrew these quarters, and the
. bank bought a lot nearby and in 1901
erected its present commodious build
ing at a cost of $30,000. The bank
owns the building occupied which
i is a substantial modern structure,
well equipped for carrying on a bank
ing business. The fixtures are attrac
-1 tive and of the latest design. It has a
large burglar proof vault, which con
■ tains a number of safety deposit
’ boxes for rent to the customers of
. the bank. All forms of insurance
• are carried for the protection of the
• bank and its funds against every kind
of loss.
• Many of its depositors are of the
type who make a small, but regular
deposits. A kind of business that is
eagerly sought by all banks and is
among the most profitable form of
bank accounts to both banker and
depositor.

Mr. White was in France during
I the late war, Lieutenant in 31st Di
vision and saw active service.
All of the above named gentlemen
are popular and well liked by all and

should not grow as it has from year
to year with such able business men
at the head to conduct its affairs.

On Growing Old
When we become old, we want to
1 get off the streets. We alwavs sym
pathize with the old men who have
nothing to do, who are not wanted
I anywhere and who have no place to
j go. When we become old and useless,
i we want a place of our own to go to.
I a place that is absolutely our own and
' which we can manage as we please.
; We hope It will be a little place where
' we can potter around with fruits and
flowers and vegetables and chickens,
and keep busy. We don't want to
give people the opportunity to show
neglect nor idle time in which to see
1 visions of the grim monster. Old rnen
i who loiter about the streets, it seems
to us. make a mistake. —Arkansaw

J. W. Temples &
Sons
Established 30 years ago the firm
of J. W. Temples & Sons has for more
than a few dozen years served the
people of Hartwell and the surround
ing county in the lines of building
supplies and general contracting.
Throughout the town and county
there are numbers of dwellings and
business structures which are built
of the materials handled by this pro
gressive concern. Its stocks are al
ways complete, and it carries ma
terials that it is willing to guarantee
as of the best quality available for
the price asked.
The firm has always given parti
cularly close attention to the matter
of buying its stock. It is well know
that poor buying has caused more
mercantile failures than has poor
selling, or even poor collecting. If
care is not exercised in buying, the
prices paid are likely to be so high
that sales cannot be made at a figure

that will command a profit, and the
business is done by a more careful
and progressive competitor. Temples
& Sons buy large quantities of their
goods in carload lots. They maintain
a large and well built warehouse,
containing nearly 2500 feet of floor
space and are able to keep large
quantities of goods on hand at all
times. They do a sufficient amount
of wholesale business to justify them

quantities, so that they receive the
benefit of the most favorable prices,
as well as the best freight rates ob
tainable for carload shipments.
In the line of building materials
they handle chiefly brick, lime, ce
ment, sand, plaster, lumber and the

for these goods at the present time
is a good indication of the progress
and development of building in the
town and county nearby to which

known to all throughout this entire
section and all the member are boost
ers for a better and larger town and

High and Low Landa
The maximum difference between
the high land and the low In the Unit
ed States proper Is 14,477 feet. Ac
cording to the official figures. Mount
Whitney, the highest point, is 14,501
feet above sea level, while Death val
ley, the lowest point, is 275 feet below
sen level. These two points, which
are both in California, are less than
90 miles apart. The difference be
tween them seems small, however,
when compared with the difference be
tween the highest and lowest point In
Asia. Mount Everest rises 29,002 feet
above sea level, whereas the shores
of the Dead sea are 12,200 feet below
It —a difference of 41,292 feet.
You can easily convince the man
who lost that it is wrong to gamble.
