GEORGIA | io THE HARTWELL Sl'N.io" VOL 49 OVER 3,000 PEOPLE EXPECTED FOR COUNTY SCHOOL DAY ON FRIDAY “Hart County School Day’’ Always W A Big Event In Hartwell— Program of Events Given By GEO. S. CLARK, Jr. Fans, scribes and Pharisees will gather here Friday from every nook and corner of Hart county to be present when the first contests of Hart’s fourteenth annual county school meet gets under way prompt ly at nine o’clock. Mathematicians and letter-writing y artists representing every one of the twenty-six schools entered in the meet will assemble at nine-thirty and begin their long tiresome fight to wards the one goal, victory—that which cometh to no man save the diligent. The entire morning will be spent in eliminating literary contestants —the athletic events beginning at two o’clock. One of the most varied of athletic programs will be carried out —from old-fashioned bean-bag con ♦ tests down to the modern day sack racing conflicts. Program For County Meet. 9:30 A. M.—Opening Exercises; beginning Arithmetic and Letter Writing Contest. 10:30—Spelling and Reading Tests. 11:00—Declamation and Recita tion—Division No. 1 in Old School Auditorium; Division No. 2 in New Auditorium. rl :00—Dinner Hour. 2:oo—Beginning Boys Athletics— Events 1,2, 3,4, 5, 6 and 7. Girls Athletics—Events 1,2, 3, 4 and 5. Stage Set For Big Game. Two hours will be spent in the contesting of these athletic events, terminating at four o’clock when Hartwell and Athens High take the field for a little baseballistic quarrel —the first game of the season be tween the tribesmen of these two . cities. ** Both Athens High and Hartwell have good combinations this season. Hartwell got off to a rather bad start, but has steadily improved since the opening of the season, and at present bids fair to put on the won side of the percentage column most of the remaining games. Athens High has played three games, win ning one each for Gainesville and' Royston. The reverse came when Royston forced Athens to take a 12 " to 4 licking. Not oqly will Hartwell and Athens stage a contest Friday afternoon but they will also be matched for a game Saturday afternoon. The brace of games will be a climax to a great week for Hartwell and Hart county fans, the ladies’ game Wednesday opening festivities for the week-end. o Gas Takes 1c Drop Gasoline took a downward plunge in Georgia last week-end, but stopped before it plunged very far, the re duction totaling 1 cent per gallon. The retail price now is 26c. 0 “Half a loaf’s better than no bread,” but half the truth sometimes is worse than a whole lie. o * A successful physician is one who is appreciated by his patients for what they think he did for them. REV. W. A. DUNCAN pastor of the Hartwell Baptist church, who will conduct the revival services beginning next Sunday morning. A cordial invitation has been extended t 0 all the people of Hartwell and vicinity to attend. Pensioners of Hart Get $9,330 Checks J. W. Scott, Ordinary of Hart County, last Saturday received a check for the sum of $9,330.00, which represents a payment of SIOO each to the Confederate veterans and widows of veterans in this county. He has been busy handing and mailing out the checks and when the vets and widows come to Hart well Friday for the Memorial Day ex ercises they will all very likely be wearing a smile. The total sum paid out by the State this week to the ’pensioners amounted to $1,133,300.00. Last year the pensioners all receiv ed SIOO in the spring and an addi tional $25, from the cigar and cigar ette tax revenue, at Christmas. The money now being sent out does not include money from this source, which will not be available until later in the year. ANOTHER FORWARD STEP FOR REED CREEK SECTION The election in Reed Creek Con solidated School District last Sat day for the purpose of levying a small addition tax resulted in a vote of some 130 for and about 30 against the plan. It is proposed to make further im provements at the Reed Creek school covering a period of some five years, during which time the citizens hope to make their school the leading rural educational enterprise in Northeast Georgia. Hartwell and Hart County are proud of the Reed Creek Consolida ted School and the progressive citi zens of this forward community. NEW SI,OOO PIANO WILL MAKE MUSIC AT STAR Mr. W. T. Yarbrough, proprietor of The Star Theatre, announces the purchase of a handsome new electric piano, which is now in operation. The new outfit cost SI,OOO and will give local movie fans some nice music with their ipictures. Mr. Yarbrough wants The Star patrons to have the best, and is con tinually looking out for everything that will help make this possible. Drop in, see a good picture, and hear some good music. o HARTWELL BANKERS IN MACON FOR STATE MEET Mr. Fred S. White, cashier of The Hartwell Bank, and Mr. Walter G. Hodges, assistant cashier of The First National Bank, are in Macon this week attending the annual session of the Georgia Bankers’ Association. The meeting will last through Sat urday. o Some people put on airs, while others merely whistle them. o The tongue is about the only muz zzle-loaded weapon that hasn’t been discarded. HARTWELL, HART COUNTY, GA., FRIDAY, APRIL 24, 1925 Baptist Revival Will Begin Sunday; Two Services Every Day Revival services will begin at the Hartwell Baptist church Sunday morning, April 26th, at the eleven o’clock hour. Rev. W. A. Duncan, the pastor, is to do the preaching and Mr. P. S. Rowland, an evangelistic singer with the Home Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention, is to have charge of the singing. Miss Mildred Johnson and Mrs. L. N. Adams will be at the instruments to serve in their usual efficient way. An ample supply of Coleman’s Har vest Hymns have been ordered so that the music will, no doubt, be a very attractive part of the series of services. The pastor and the entire member ship of the Baptist church wish to make it plain that this revival is planned for the entire community and the people of the county as far as possible. They sincerely hope that the public in general will unite in the services for the good of all. This series will continue for about two weeks, according to the plans of the pastor. The morning ser vices during the week days are to be held at ten o’clock and the evening services at eight o’clock. Mr. Row land will doubtless organize the boys and girls into a junior choir and have a meeting for thirty minutes before the evening services. He will make an announcement about this as soon as he arrives here. This is open to all of the boys and girls of all of the denominations, and any one who misses this band will be the real loser. Get ready, boys and girls, for the first meeting! It is hoped that the morning ser vices will be largely attended as well as those in the evening. The pastor has planned to make morning ser vices to come within one hour by the watch. So that, if the business men come to the day services they may know that they will be back to their work in one hour. These services come only once each year as a rule. It is a great time in the lives of numbers who find the Lord from time to time. Therefore, every Christian, and par ticularly every member of the church holding such services should set ev ery other thing aside as far as pos sible and contribute to the success of the revival. May this be true dur ing this meeting? Let’s make it so! 0 Two Resort Hotels Leased By Local People Mr». T. S. Ma«on To Open Nice Place In Henderconville, N. C. Mrs. T. S. Mason has leased a 12- room home in Hendersonville, N. C., and will open for both transients and regular guests on June Ist. Hendersonville is right next to Asheville, and by many is consider ed ahead of the former city from many viewpoints; it affords the tour ist a delightful stop-over in a jour ney through the mountains, and is a modern city in every respect. With Mrs. Mason will be her moth er, Mrs. R. L. Gaines, of Bowers ville, and Miss Lena Ray, of North Carolina. Col. Mason will also spend the week-ends in Hendersonville. The people of Hartwell, Bowers ville, Hart and adjoining counties are extended a special invitation to visit the Masons when in Henderson ville. The location is near The Kentucky Home and the First Meth odist church. Mesdames Morris Lease New Rabun At Mountain City Open May 15th Mrs. Leon Morris and Mrs. Louie L. Morris have leased The New Ra bun, a 36-room hotel at Mountain i City, Ga., and will open on Fri- ■ day, May 15th. Mountain City has long been a favorite with many Hartwell and Hart county people, the city having been established many years ago by Mr. D. Webb Johnson, of Hartwell, and for some time going under the name of “Passover,” this being the place where the traveler passes over the ridge of the mountains. Later the name was changed tfo Mountain City, and on account of its height, being higher than Asheville, N. C., has become quite a resort. The New Rabun has been renovat ed from top to bottom and under the management of Mesdames Mor ris will very likely prove popular amongst local people the coming sea son. Mrs. D. A. Thornton, of Atlanta, mother of Mrs. L. L. Morris, and Mrs. J. W. Morris, of Hartwell, will also spend the summer at The New Rabun. Mountain City is about three hours’ ride from Hartwell, on the State highway from Toccoa ahd Cornelia, passing through Tallulah Falls and Clayton. • A special invitation is extended Hartwell and Hart county people to visit The New Rabun when in the mountains of North Georgia. o Persons who pay cash get their only profit out of satisfaction, but they are never bothered by bill col lectors.—Flint Daily Journal. Public Invited To Memorial Exercises On Friday Morning While the attendance on the part of Confederate veterans and widows grows smaller each year, there is never any less interest manifested in the observance here of Memorial Day, and so on Friday morning when the few remaining Con federate veterans, wives and widows gather in the Court House to cele brate the day, a splendid program will be rendered. The public is cordially invited, the ; exercises beginning at 10:45 o’clock. The program is as follows: Music—Band. Song—“ America.” Prayer—Rev. James Bradley. Talk, 10 minutes—Rev. J. H. Bar ton. Quartette —“Tenting Tonight.” Music—Band. Talk, 10 minutes—Rev. W. A. Duncan. “Dixie"—Hartwell Concert Band. Dinner will be served at 12 o’clock to all old veterans, their wives, wid ows of veterans, the band members and to the U. D. C. Chapter. o GASOLINE SALES OFF IN GEORGIA Autoists are not riding as much as they did last year, or else they have found some way to make the old bus go a little farther on less fuel. Perhaps the former is true, for Georgia sales of gasoline during the first three months of the year were off just $5,000,000 over the same period in 1924, — And this reduced the revenue to the State about $150,000.00, figuring three cents per gallon tax. Officials in Atlanta account for the dropping off in the fact that gasoline one year ago was 21 cents, while it is 26 cents per gallon now, and has been even higher. “People just refuse to buy gaso line when the price goes up, and the fluctuations are always reflected in the revenue derived from the state tax of three cents per gallon,” said My. Harrison, chief clerk in the Comptroller General’s office at the State Capitol. He added that deal ers have told him the falling off *n sales was due to the higher price, as automobile owners are either leaving their cars at home or buying two or three gallons at a time, hoping for a reduction in the price. The receipts for first quarter 1924 were $967,000 against $818,233 for January, February and March this year. o W. K. McGee Has Fifteen Acres Fine Crimson Clover Mr. W. K. McGee, of Air Line, has fifteen acres of about as fine crimson clover as can be found in all of this section of Georgia. Samples displayed this week show his crop several weeks ahead of last year, and show what fine results can be accomplished with this well known cover crop in Hart county. Mr. McGee has been raising crim son clover for three years, and after gathering the seed for sale plows the stubble under; he has had won derful success with this species of clover, stating that he will put “crimson up against any of them." His 15-acre patch is worth visiting Air Line to see. Through the efforts of County Agent Bingham, Mr. McGee and others there are said to be several hundred acres of crimson clover all over Hart county this year. o __ Concert A Success The program in the Court House park last Saturday afternoon by the Hartwell Concert Band drew a large crowd and proved a most interesting occasion. This was the initial appearance of the new Hartwell Concert Band un der the leadership of Director Poole, an experienced bandmaster who is now making Hartwell his home. . Director Poole has had many years’ experience with bands and orchestras and the rendition of Sat urday’s program shows just what can be accomplished in a short time with a group of ambitious musicians under a competent instructor. Every number was good,—and this is the beginning of a number of like concerts to be given in Hartwell from time to time. The Hartwell Concert Band is composed of some 20 pieces. It is hoped to increase the membership to 60, making it the largest organi zation in this section of Georgia. A portrait of President Harding adorns the new one-and-a-half-cent stamp designed for use on third class mail matter under the new pos tage rates. A one-half-cent stamp carrying a profile of Nathan Hale will be sold to take care of those who have on hand a supply of the old one-cent stamps.
