* BANKS HERE IN
FINE CONDITION
With deposits totaling nearly one
half million dollars, the three banks
of Hart county make their second
statement for the year in this week’s
Sun.
It will be interesting and encour
aging, too, to our people to note the
* strong statements made by our finan
cial institutions.
Few banks can boost of directors
and officials so ably chosen as The
Hartwell Bank and The First Na
tional Bank, of Hartwell, and The
Bank of Bowersville, the three that
belong to our county.
This, and the fact that these men
are all successful business men, and
also the fact that all the banks not
Ip only serve their hundreds of custom
ers but make splendid annual earn
ings for the stockholders, —all this
has inspired the confidence of the
citizens.
Note the splendid statements this
week, —they are far ahead of the re
port for the same period last year.
Prospects were never brighter in
Hart county for a return of normalcy
and old-time prosperity.
o
r Reed Creek To Vote
For A Better School
Reed Creek, one of Hart county’s
most progressive communities, and,
in reality, one of the leading rural
centers of Northeast Georgia, will
take another step forward this week,
when the wide-awake citizens vote
a for an additional school tax of 5
mills.
With this added income it is pro
posed to begin a program of im
provements that will make Reed
Creek Consolidated School perhaps
the most modern and adequately
equipped rural school in the whole
of this section of Georgia.
Reed Creek is headed by Prof. H.
L. Fry, one of the best men obtain
able; the Board of Trustees is made
up of progressive, forward-thinking
men: Hon. W. B. McMullan, Mr. P.
C. Osborne and Mr. ,W. C. Robert
son.
Hart county has her eyes on Reed
Creek, and this move Saturday is
going to place her even in higher
respect amongst our citizenship.
We are watching you, Reed Creek,
—what about making the election
Saturday unanimous for a bigger and
better Reed Creek Consolidated
A, School and community?

Postal Employees
Get Nice Raise
The recent increase granted em
ployees of the United States Post
office Department will bring in some
C $200.00 per month additional, which
is gratifying not only to those who
work for Uncle Sam, but to the
community.
Pay-rolls are one thing that con
tribute largely to a city’s and coun
ty's growth. Hartwell and Hart
county need more of them.
The value of such enterprises as
The Hartwell Mills and other enter
prises that have smaller pay rolls
is to be appreciated.

i a splendid audience of both and wo
' men.
Mr. Fry gave a cordial welcome
i to the speakers.
After the demonstration of the
nutrition class which was twenty
six in number the party was invited
to the auditorium where songs of
welcome were sung by the school
children.
Then the speakers were introduced
in a pleasing manner by Miss Mc-
Lanahan and each responded with a
helpful message along their line of
work.
A wonderful demonstration of
physical development was given by
Miss Birdseige, using Thomas Vick
ery for a model.
After dinner at the Hotel the j
