SHOW A SUCCESS
“Once In a Blue Moon,” as pre
sented by the University of Georgia
Co-ed Dramatic Club in the Hartwell
auditorium Tuesday night, proved to
be an event that truly only comes
along once in a blue moon, so far as
talent, presentation, theme, and so
forth is concerned.
For it was a success; the large
auditorium was comfortably full and
they gave frequent evidence of their
approval.
The fourteen piece orchestra was
there, too, with a program that added
much to the evening’s splendid enter
tainment. .
Hartwell will welcome the Univer
sity Dramatic Club back at any time.
The play appeared here under
auspices of the Hartwell Woman’s
Club, a part of the proceeds going
to the Joel McMullan Scholarship
Fund.
HARTWELL
Hartwell was incorporated Feb-
I ruarv 26th, 1856.
The first limits extended four
* hundred yards in each direction from
i the public square. . .
The town had five Commissioners.
! as follows: James T. Jones, John G.
i Justice, F. B. Hodges, J. N. Reeder,
and John B. Benson.
The annual election was held on
the second Monday in each January,
I beginning the following year after
the charter was granted, at which
I time successors were named to the
I ab History of the city is meagre from
1856 to along in the 60’s when, the
! Hartwell Messenger was published,
and then The Hartwell Sun in 18< J -
Files of the latter at the Hart county
court house afford information -hat
' is both valuable and interesting.

PAVING TALKED
FOR HARTWELL
A paving program for Hartwell
was discussed at the weekly meeting
of Kiwanians last Friday, Hon. J.
H. Skelton being the principal speak
er of the day, outlining some plans
that had been suggested. Others
talking on this important matter were
Kiwanians A. N. Alford, Foster C.
' Brown, J. I. Allman, B. B. Zellars
■ and others, all of whom expressed
themselves as heartily in favor of the
move.
“Hartwell has reached the point
now,” said Mr. Skelton, “where we
i must pave if we expect to make pro
| gress,” his statement and those of
| the others were greeted with great
1 applause. Chairman W. S. Long, oi
the program committee, had selected
a very timely subject for discussion.
A committee was aopointed by
President J. A. W. Brown as fol
lows to work with the city authorities
in starting the program as soon as it
could possibly be done: Dr. W. I.
Hailey, chairman; J. H. Skelton, F.
C. Brown, R. E. Cox, and W. S.
Long.
Visitors at the meeting were Mrs.
Walter L. Hodges and Mrs. T. L.
Mathesdh, who made short and very
interesting talks.
The attendance prize was a five
pound box of chocolate covered
cherries presented by the Brock
Candy Co., of Chattanooga, Tenn.,
through the local distributors, the
Hartwell Wholesale Grocery Co.
Mrs. L. N. Adams presided at the
i piano during the session.
o
One Reason Why
One contributing factor in Hart
county’s growth and lead over many
other Georgia counties is that of the
farm demonstration work.
In Mr. W. H. Bingham and Miss
Frances A. McLanahan, the county
has two of the most able workers to
be had; they deserve much credit for
their splendid work, Miss McLanahan
with the Club Girls and the Home de-
I partment, and Mr. Bingham with the
general farm demonstration work.
i Hart county has had two Agents
for many years.

HART COUNTY
Hart county was created in 1853;
it has an area of 261 square miles,
and is situated in the northeastern
section of the State of Georgia.
The altitude is 900 feet.
On its eastern banks, the Tugalo
and Seneca rivers form the Sa
vannah.
The county was named for a
woman, Mrs. Nancy Hart, of Revolu
tionary War fame.
Located in the center of the fam
ous Piedmont belt of the South.
o
Hartwell Roller Mill
Hartwell has a modern flour mill,
equipped with the latest machinerv.
Mr. G. H. Spradlin, the owner,
last year spent several hundred dol
lars in overhauling his plant, and
purchased additional equipment that
makes the Hartwell Roller Mills
second to none in this section of the
state.
The mill also grinds corn. It is
electrically operated, and run by an
experienced miller, Mr. Cramer, and
an assistant.
o
VISITORS BOOST CITY
J. E. Carter is a big booster for |
Hartwell; he never lets a stranger
get away from Hartwell without giv
ing him a hearty welcome if he gets
half a chante.
Coming in on the train the other
night he told of a conversation he
had with Mr. Williamson, well-known
representative of the American To
bacco Co., in this section.
“The first time I was routed to go
to Hartwell,” said Mr. Williamson,
“I was reasonably certain the city
had a population of around 50,000.
1 1 had seen signs advertising Hartwell
and the hotel from the lower end
of Florida to New York, and while
I didn't find that many people, I
have found a spirit that equals that
found in many very large cities.
Truly, you have a great city here,
and I have never found such hospit
able people,” Mr. Williamson con
cluded.
Hartwell hasn’t the largest popu
lation, but these Hartwell and Hart
county folks do things on a large
scale, as stated by visitor Williamson.
Keep up your good work, Mr. Car
ter.

A LITTLE FUN—
Little Food Required
Professor (in zoology lab): “What
insect lives on the least food?
Bright Pupil: “The moth. It eats
holes.”
It All Depends
“There are two sides to every
question,” proclaimed the sage.
"Yes," said the fool, "and there
are two sides to a sheet of flypaper,
but it makes a mighty big difference
to the fly which side he chooses.”
Not Worth While
Rastus: "Here's dat quatah Ah
borrowed from yuh last year.”
Sambo: "Yuh done kept it so long
dat Ah don’t know if it’s wuss while
for me to change mah 'pinion of yuh
jes’ fo' two bits.”—Life.
Shingled
Mother had come in from the farm
to visit her daughter in the city.
After the kiss of greeting she noticed
her daughter's bobbed hair. Her eyes
opened wide in astonishment.
“Well, fer pity's sake, Lizzy,’’ she
exclaimed, “you never even writ me
you had the typhoid.”—Life.
Bound to Get There!
Start out with the determination
to succeed. Be like one of our old
slavery-time Negroes, Uncle Joe
Motes, who a number of years ago
got religion. So at one of the prayer
meetings he was called on by the
leader to give his experience. Uncle
Joe rose very slowly and exclaimed
in a loud voice: “Glery to God,
Hallelujah, brethren and sistern, I’m
gwine to heaven in spite of hell."
H. E. Hitt.
Kreping What He Had
Seeing a big sign over a building
which read, "Women’s Exchange,”
Si opened the door and walked in.
A long, tall, scrawny looking female
of the species approached him with
anything but ti pleasant cast of
I countenance. He said, “Be this the i
Woman’s Exchange?” “It is,” coldly
spake the lady. “Be you tin* mana
ger?” "1 am,” was the reply. “Waal,"
said Si, “in that case I guess I’ll
hang on to Marthy tor a while long
er.”
He’d Be Repre»ented By Proxy!
There was once a dispute between
a farmer and a grocer over an ac
count. The merchant said, “If you
don’t pay it, 1 will sue you in the
justice’s court and get a judgment.
The farmer replied, “Well, I’ll be
there.” The grocer said, “And if
I don't get a judgment, then I’ll ap
peal to the superior cuurt.” The
farmer answered, “Well, I’ll be
there.” The grocer said, “Yes, if 1
| still don't succeed, I'll sue you in the
Supreme Court.” The farmer said,
“You can keep on going, but I’ll be
there.” The grocer becoming irritat
i ed, screamed at him, “And if 1
| don’t get a judgment any other way,
1 I’ll sue you through all the courts
l of Hades.” “Well,” said the farmer,
! “my lawyer—-he'll be there.”-—Judge
' Waltea F. Jenkins, of Georgia.

THE LATE S. M. 8080
Prof. S. M. Bobo was born in
Franklin county (now Hart county)
December 30th, 1842. Died February
12th, 1923.
His was a busy life, given to build
ing up all worthy interests, religious,
educational and political.
“Doc’s Ology”“
Drawings were held last Saturday
for the Hart County Tournament
and things are just about ready for
the first game. The dates this year
are March 12 and 14.
From the way things look it may
bo that Nuberg and Reed Creek will
meet and in the Tournament, too!
Boys, howdy at the fight, spirit, and
crowd—-it, if it happens—will be n
battle royal.
“Newspaper reporting of divorce
cases in France is forbidden under
severe penalties” says headline. We
wonder if a law of this kind in
America would not decrease the num
ber of divorces. Publicity is what a
large number of divorcees want -
and they get it.
Ran upon our friend Boyce Mere
dith the other day in Bowersville,
who told us very emphatically that
Bowersville was going to carry away
the laurels at the Hart County Tour
ney. He proceeded, in his argiHnent
ative way, to tell us just how and
why Bowersville is coming out on
top.
Really and truly, if things work
out his way, this team will win,
