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 !

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. o CROSS ROADS CHURCH Rev. L. T. Weldon will preach at Cross Roads Baptist church Sunday, March Ist at 11 o’clock. Everybody invited. o Don’t seek to know too much. That is where Mother Eve made her great mistake. o Once upon a time they tried to shut a woman up in a lunatic asylum —but she kept right on talking.

Alford & Co. “Dress well and Succeed.” 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. V. t k' *. j|| THE LATE S. M. 8080 Prof. S. M. Bobo was born in Franklin county (now Hart county) December 30th, 1842. Died February 12th, 1923.
