S. o * 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? o— ; 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. o RUMMAGE SALE The Rummage Sale to be continu ed Saturday afternoon at Dooley & O’Barr’s store.
