A NICE EGG
We don’t know whether our good
friend, Mr. E. H. Ledford, of Canon
1, has larger hens than anybody else
I or not, but he has one hen that laid
' a pretty good sized egg one day last
: week. The specimen measured 0 1-2
inches around the center and 7 1-2
inches around lengthwise. That is,
if you can measure an egg length
wise. Anyway, you get the idea.
Incidentally, the large egg has
I been put to good use already. It
I weighed three ounces.

THE HARTWELL SUN, HARTWELL, GA., APRIL 24, 1925
Address Mr. Branch
Featured Kiwanis
Session Friday
An address by Mr. Harllee Branch,
City Editor of The Atlanta Journal,
featured the meeting of the Kiwanis
Club on last Friday.
“The three fundamentals that are
bringing Georgia back into her own
and that are creating a new pros
perity in our grand old State are
thrift, industry and religion,” said
Mr. Branch.
The well-known newspaper man
spoke briefly of his travels over the
State, compared conditions, talked of
roads, churches and schools, and
spoke of the indications on every
hand both in Hartwell and Hart
county that here the citizens were
centering their efforts in accomplish
ing these worth-while things.
Mr. Branch then touched on the
spiritual side of the life of our peo
ple, of the importance in building
a city and county that had for its
key-note the proper regard for the
things of a higher order, and a love
for those things of a spiritual na
ture.
He emphasized the need in Hart
well of a paving program, and touch
ed on many important things that
were of a constructive nature and
which were greatly appreciated.
Upon the conclusion of his re
marks, Hon. J. H. Skelton arose and
after expressing his appreciation for
the splendid message, offered a mo
tion that the entire Club stand as
a token of their recognition of the
wholesomeness of Mr. Branch’s re
marks.
Editor Branch spent Friday here
making a survey of the county, from
which he will write an article for
The Journal.
Other guests of the day were
Hon. S. J. Busha, of Buford, Mr.
James Kinard, of Williamston, S. C.,
Kiwanian W. H. Davis, of Gaines
ville, Dr. J. H. Hailey and Mr. H.
B. Alford, of Hartwell, all of whom
responded with short and interesting
remarks.
Chairman E. E. Satterfield of a
special committee reported a com
munication from Mr. P. C. Herrault,
Supt. of Construction Georgia Rail
way & Power Co., in which he ex
pressed appreciation for the spirit
manifested on the part of our people
in welcoming their crews to this ter
ritory in their construction work on
the new electric power line. It is
thought the company will locate their
construction camp in or near Hart
well while going through this imme
diate section.
Turning away from business for a
few moments, the Club enjoyed a
little diversion in an old-time spell
ing match, conducted by “Prof.” B.
B. Zellars from the “Blue Back
Speller.” All stood up one round,
and then one by one they fell be
fore the word “assiduous.” Kiwan
ian McL. Brown was presented the
book as a premium for being the
first man to sit down.
Mrs. L. N. Adams presided at the
piano during the session.

MEMORIAL DAY
Dearer to the hearts of the people
if the South than any other day is
April 26th. This is the day set
apart to remember the men whose
ife blood stained our hills and val
'eys; men who died for the cause
they knew to be right, the freedom
>f states and individuals.
From a child of the South came
the beautiful custom of decorating
each year the graves of the men who
died under the stars and bars. The
widow of a Confederate officer in
Columbus, Ga., made daily visits to
the grave of her husband, Col. C. J.
Williams, so that it might never be
without a flower. One day her little
girl looked up into the mother’s face
and asked if she might leave some
flowers on the graves of the other
soldiers who were buried near Col.
Williams. With the mother’s con
sent, the child placed flowers upon
the graves of the other Confederate
soldiers. Mrs. Williams spoke to the
Soldiers’ Aid Society of Columbus
about placing tributes upon the
graves of the Confederate dead. The
idea of honoring their heroes made a
strong appeal to the Southern
women. An appeal was made through
the columns of the Columbus Times
to the people of the South begging
that they would observe one day in
each year as a Memorial Day to the
soldiers of the Confederacy. The
first observance of Memorial Day
was on April 6. 1866. From that
time, the people of the South, and
particularly the children, have fol
lowed the custom of honoring the
Confederate dead with flowers on
the day set apart for this ceremony.
And April 6 this year will find South
erti children placing their flowers
upon the graves of the soldiers who
died for the South.
CROSS ROADS CHURCH
There will be preaching at Cross
Roads next Sunday, April 26th, at 11
o'clock by Rev. J. J. Hiott, of Hart
well. Everybody cordially invited.

LOAN EXPERT SAYS HART
ONE OF GEORGIA’S BEST
COUNTIES IN EVERY WAY
Mr. Ben T. Watkins, special repre
sentative of the loan department of
the Penn Mutual Life Insurance Co.,
was among the business visitors to
Hartwell last Thursday, coming here
to visit the local agent, Mr. A. C.
Skelton.
In conversation with a Sun repre
sentative, Mr. Watkins stated that
few counties in Georgia, if any, were
equal to Hart in rural schools and
churches. “Your roads, too, I note
are being worked right along and be
fore long you will have a good sys
tem of country roads. Nothing is
more important, and perhaps you
should vote bonds to do the work as
quickly as possible,” he stated.
“In fact,” said Mr. Watkins, “my
company places Hart county right
at the top of the list in Georgia, and
we are always glad to see business
from this community.”
Mr. Watkins stated that loans of
Hart county land were as safe as
anything could be, and that he was
always glad to come into a progres
sive community like that surround
ing Hartwell.
