The fl enrollment on Tuesday morning had fl reached one hundred and forty, which fl was forty more than we had expected Ito have in the school. We have no fl doubt but that the final enrollment fl shall reach about two hundred be- I fore the end of the school. The children seem to be thrilled fl with the daily programs which we I have. They enter into the.work in fl very fine spirit. Their conduct is fl of such a nature as to make us feel I very happy each day to know chat fl our children are of such a high type, fl The attendance of these children is fl not based on compulsion. The at- I tractive feature is the fine program fl which has been arranged for their fl pleasure and profit. The children ■I had much rather come to the school fl than to stay* at home. It is hard fl to keep a child at home once he has I Mt on to the school. fl The faculty is showing a very fine fl spirit, also. Many of those who are fl helping in the school are doing so | fl at a very great personal sacrifice, fl But the work is quite as attractive fl to the workers as to the pupils. Mrs. fl W. B. Suddeth, who is the Principal | fl of the school, has arranged the work | fl in a very attractive way and has j | shown that she has a great aptitude j | for such work. We are glad that' I - 4 and Mr. Suddeth will be teachers I in our public school in Hartwell next | I year, and so, their family will be ■' I numbered among qs in a short time, i I We cordially invite the parents and I friends of the school to attend at fl any time during the daily sessions. , fl We believe that the Daily Vacation fl Bible School will now become one of fl the regular summer attractions for I fl the boys and girls of our town, fl Therefore, we hope that the parents fl will come and see for themselves the fl I&ue of this work. fl We welcome all boys and girls fl from 4 to 14 years of age, Inclusive.

Vets Will Gather In Royston July 4th Every Veteran of the Confederacy in the counties of Franklin, Hart and Madison will be invited to Royston 1 on the Fourth of July and will be j presented with a Stone Mountain : Memorial Coin from the business i men. They are also planning a pro i gram that will draw a large crowd from the three counties. They have • already secured Col. George M.

Several other features of I entertainment will be given on that ' day among which will be a free base ball game in the afternoon. Every Veteran wil be furnished with a din ner. No doubt a large crowd will be present in Royston on the Fourth to hear Col. Napier and pay tribute to the valor of the men who wore the grey during the war between the states. There are about 125 or 130 I Veterans left in the three counties I and it is expected that the majority I of them will be present on the oc- I casion, states the Royston Record. GEORGIA LEADS FARM PROGRESS Atlanta, June 16.—Great increases during the last several years in the value of Georgia farm products and manufactures and a noteworthy in crease in population Were pointed out today in a report by the Geor gia Real Estate Association, which declares Georgia now is leading all I southern states in many lines of | development. I According to figures released by the United States Agricultural De | partment Georgia showed a larger i[increase in farms products in 1924 1 than any state in the union,, the gain being 46 per cent over the I previous year. During the same year i the manufactured products of the [ state showed a valuation of $604,- 450,000, which was an increase of 58.5 per cent over 1921, the last year for which comparative figures were available.' These figures are made public by the census bureau in Washington. According to official figures, the gasoline tax and income tax in Georgia ranks second, the repprt continues. In population increase during the five years since 1920 this state is surpassed among southern states only by North Carolina, the present figures being 3,058,260, as compar ed to 2,910,598 in 1920. This was an increase of 147,662. Increase in other southern states during the same period are as follows: Alabama, 108,207; Florida 111,- 218; Mississippi, no increase; North Carolina, 181,718; South Carolina, 86,690, and Tennessee, 78,846, ac cording to the statistics furnished by the census bureau. “These figures serve as a fine il lustration of what the state is do ing,” says the report. “A study of the situation will show any citizen that Georgia is progressing in a very substantial way and very rapidly, at this time. There never has been a time when our people have been as willing and as ready to develop and promote the agricultural and in dustrial expansion of Georgih as at present. Officials of the Georgia Real Es tate Association expressed them | selves as particularly pleased over [ the increase in agricultural values [ and activities, as it is believed that I betterment of agriculture will have i a profound effect on all lines of i business in Georgia. - o MT.

HARTWELL, HART COUNTY, GA., FRIDAY, JUNE 19, 1925 POULTRY SALE HERE JUNE 26TH If you have hens, roosters, fryers jor other members of the feathery I tribe that can be disposed of bring : them to Hartwell on Friday, June 26th, —this will be the last co-opera tive sale for the season, according to" County Agent Bingham, unless it is evident that the supply of chick ens will demand another sale later. Shipped Biggest Car. Hartwell has been the scene of some big car-lot chicken sales dur ing the past year or so, one event all Hart county people point to with pride being that last year when we shipped the largest and most valu able carload of chickens to market that ever left the State of Georgia. Bring your chickens here Friday morning of next week, June 26th, — let’s put a bunch of them in this car. And then why not get ready now to go in the chicken business right so that Hart county can ship during 1926 a carload every two weeks. That would bring thousands of dollars into our county annually. Tell your friends about the sale in I Hartwell Friday, June 26th. o NEXT SUNDAY IS “FATHER’S DAY” Sunday, June 21st, is “Father’s Day.” Homage due to the man who has been the main support of the boys and girls from the time they were born until they reached the age of maturity will be paid to him dur ing the day. The observance of the day is not observed as yet in a man ner approaching the observance of Mother’s Day but many people wil] stop to ponder during the day of the goodness of their dads. No joking—father does like to be appreciated. He was a little jealous when Mother had a halo placed upon her head, but he never said a word— just kept plodding away. He always knew that anything ever said about or done for Mother would not pay the debt humanity owes to Mother, but right down deep in his heart, Father always believed that he deserved a little recognition for the part he plays in keeping the world turning on its axis. This year it falls on Sunday, June 21st. Last year was the first time Father ever received widespread rec ognition with a “day” and he liked it so well that he believes he will reTish one every year. As a rule, Father doesn’t care to have anyone “make a fuss over him.* He is content to go on doing his bit by rearing his family and helping wherever he can in community bet terment. But he’ll have to admit that he’s a little blase if he doesn’t warm up to the idea of being the center of attraction one day in the year. Bring on the socks, the handker chiefs, neckties and cigars. o Wljen John Milton died he left three thousand dollars to his wife, who, by the way, was his third wife. ■ When she died, at her request, a tombstone was erected over her grave which bore the inscription: “Eliza beth, the third and best wife of John Milton, the poet.” o Only one hundred of the four hun dred twenty-five miles of railroad which would carry the products of the great northwestern grain-fields of Canada to salt water at Hudson Bay remains to be finished. However, due to the fact that it will cost ap proximately $22,500,000 to complete the railway, erect terminals and dredge the channel, it is doubtful if the work will be finished. STAR THEATRE Thursday and Friday. “Lilly of the Dust.” From wall-| flower to wildflower, from the heights ’ to the depths, from the sweet flower | of a great love to the bitter rem- [ j nants —Pola Negri runs the whole range of life in this sensation-filled drama. Saturday. “The Spoilers,” Rex Beach’s world renowned novel of the conquest ofi golden Alaska, has been brought to the screen in a great thrilling motion picture romance. The cast includes , Milton Sills, Anna Q. Nilsson, Bar i bara Bedford, Robert Edeson, Noah ! Beery, Louise Fazenda, Rockliffe Fel lowes, Wallace MacDonald, Mitchell j Lewis, Ford Sterling, Sam de Grasse. Monday. “The Air Mail.” Here’s the big gest and swiftest thrill-picture ever made! A smashing romance-melo drama of the daring pilots of the mail planes. By Byron Morgan, author of the Wally Reid auto-racing stories. Tuetday and Wednesday. “Daughters of the Night,” featur ing an all star cast. Secret perils, : temptations—love and life of the telephone girl. Coming Thursday and Friday. June 25 and 26. “Feet of Clay.” It is typically DeMille, and you know what that ’ means—luxury, gorgeousness, linked with a logical, dramatic, pictorial ' story. A picture with a “smash” ■ i climax, the like of which has never ■ been seen before. i 1 General Assembly Will Convene Next Wednesday The General Assembly*of Georgia convenes at the State Capitol in At lanta next W'ednesday, June 24th. to be in session for the allotted period of sixty days. This will be the first session of the Legislature under the new bi ennial system. Under the new law it will carry on for sixty days, instead of fifty, as has been the case in previous years. But with adjournment sine die on the night of August 23 there will be no other regular session of the State’s legislative body until the third Wed nesday in June, 1927. Incidentally, there seems to be a strong probability that the legislature will actually adjourn at midnight of the 60th day this year instead of put ting the hands of the clock back and staying in session until 3 or 4 o’clock of the following day, as in the I past. For the last day under the I new 60-day regime is a Saturday i and there undoubtedly will be a I strong sentiment against staying in | session on Sunday under any pretext. Helpful Law* Urged.| Many new members have expressed i varying views as to what they hope 'to accomplish this year. Taken all in all these views are constructive, rather than destructive, and hopes are high that laws of genuine value to the welfare of the entire state will be written on the books before the session ends. There is another strong tendency which appears good. That is the in clination on the part of many to de vote the time not to the passage of new laws, but to the perfecting of those already on the books. One of the principal subjects, as usual, will be the tax proposition. Income tax, sales tax, and other forms of taxes will be discussed pro and con. Hart county’s Legislator, Col. B. B. Zellars, will take his chair in the House for the first time next Wed nesday. He succeeds Hon. W. B. McMullan. Senator J. N. B. Thompson, of Madison county, succeeds Hon. T. S. Mason, of Hart, from the 30th Sen atorial District. o —OUR— WEEKLY SMILE (C.J.T.—Phila.,Pa.) K-. , * The article quoted from a Georgia paper which appeared in The Sun on June sth stated the truth when it stated that the mail order houses go after business stronger during the months of June, July and August than at any other time of the year. Gimbel’s, like all other concerns which do a mail order business, is sues a special summer catalogue on June the first and continues circular izing the trade during these months. The response is very great for, right now, the mail order department is so •busy they can hardly handle the bus iness. Any merchant who thinks that he can be wide awake for nine months of the year and sleep during the three remaining months, is think ing wrong. The proper thing to do is to APPROPRIATE A CERTAIN AMOUNT FOR ADVERTISING EACH YEAR and advertise DURING THE DULL MONTHS as well as the busy seasons. Mail order houses never sleep. National advertisers never sleep. No real, live merchant I should ever allow his business to fall I asleep. Advertising has made all of these concerns whose annual appro- I priations for advertising are listed below: Victor Talking Mach.

The official thermo meter registered only 100 and a fraction but many of the household thermometers registered 120 and, not being able to go any higher, stopped working. One man stated that during the hot spell he had a dream —dreampt that he went to hell. Said that he made the trip in i a large dirigible and went through 1 miles hnd miles of space until fi nally he came to a land of beautiful i flowers. Flowers were everywhere,! he stated, and when the dirigible i stopped at hell station, he got out and had a talk with the station mar ten “Why, is this hell?” he asked the station master. “Yes,” he an swered. “Well, it certainly is dis- I ferent from the hell I have always i heard and read about—why,-the hell I always heard about was a pit, burn ing with fire and brimstone where | HOTEL COMPANY HAS GOOD YEAR The annual meeting of the stock holders of The Hartwell Hotel Co., j last Monday resulted in the re-elec- j tion of the old board of directors, . composed of Messrs. A. N. Alford, ! J. H. Skelton. Dr. W. I. Hailey, Dr. B. C. Teasley, E. E. Satterfield, J. A. W. Brown, A. S. Skelton, D. C. Alford, J. E. Cobb, J. R. Leard, R. P. Clinkscales, J. T. Brewer, 11. H. Wilcox, C./ E. Matheson ami F. T. Kidd. Mr. A. N. Alford was re-elected President of the company, as were the other officials: Hon. J. H. Skel ton, Vice-President; E. E. Satter field. Secretary, and H. I. Alford, Treasurer. The report of President Alford to the stockholders showed the affairs of the company in splendid shape, and a report of the committee in charge of the upkeep of the proper ty showed that recent improvements had not only beautified the place but put the building in excellent shape from top to bottom. Receipts by the company as rental for the year ending this month show ed a gain over the previous year. As a result of the financial report and outlook for the future, hotel ttork took an upward trend this week and within the next two years it is expected that every debt will be wiped out and the stock bringing a premium. SELL COINS HERE , The committees sold several hun dred Stone Mountain Memorial coins last Saturday and there is still a steady demand for the 50 cent pieces that were issued by the United States government as a fitting tri bute to the valor of the Confederate soldier. Every Southerner should have one I and particularly every Georgian, for it is in our own state that Stone Mountain is located. Hons. J. H. Skelton and R. C. 1 Thornton head the campaign in Hartwell and Hart county, and they are ably assisted by strong commit tees from all the various organiza- I tions. n Banks May Reopen Soon I Stockholders and depositors of the Georgia National Bank and the : American State Bank in Athens have j been called to attend a meeting in I Woodruff Hall on the University campus next Monday, June 22nd, at 11 o’clock. The banks will very likely re-open within a short time. They have de positors and stockholders all over northeast Georgia, it is said. -O ■■ ■ ■■ Bowersville Business Change An important business change in Bowersville recently was the pur ' chase by Mr. W. B. Sanders and his son, Mr. Ray Sanders, of the business formerly operated by J. A. | Johnson. Mr. Johnson will remain in Bow i erijville, and devote most of his time to his farming interests.

A large per cent of the population of Philadel phia moves to this great‘playground for June, July and August. Excur- I sions over all the railroads are in operation daily now. The round trip fare from Philadelphia is $1.50. I is needless to say that the week-end crowds are immense. It is 62 miles from Philadelphia to Atlantic City ; and the scheduled time for these ex j cursion trains to make it is 55 min- I utes. A Philadelphia preacher said that [ he believed that any man who at tended church during the extreme , hot spell would receive special bless ing. Philadelphia now has buses run i ning in all directions- the kind that are used on sth Avenue, Now York | I City. It is a real pleasure to get up 1 on top of one of these buses and go i for a ride. All Philadelphia stores close on i Saturdays during July and August. ' Monday is the best business day up here.
