Business is good in Hartwell; far ahead of this time last year. You can save by buying in Hart well. Note the bargains offered in this week’s Sun. o The yarn trade is better. This means the cotton yarn, the fishing yarns being some worse.—Altoona Mirror. ■ o Hartwell is the trade center for this section now. Note the attrac tive prices offered by our merchants this week. 0 We All Need ’Em. Good roads is quite a live topic in Morgan eounty. We must have them or we will go backward. —Madison- ian. o Another Convert. Oh! to be able to walk into Just Any Soda Fountain and get a great, grand glass of beautiful buttermilk. —Fort Valley Leader-Tribune. o No one ever wakes up with a split ting headache after partaking too freely of that noble drink, the salu brious old buttermilk, that we’ve mentioned a time or two previously. It’s the safe and sane drink for the Fourth. o Old Joe Jone*. Old Joe Jones, of The Hartwell Jsun, hits the bull’s eye more often than he misses with "his unusual ex pressions each week in that most ex ce 11 en t publication. Monticello News. o Our Belled Buzzard. The Anderson (S. C.) Daily Mail, after reading about one of Georgia’s belled buzzards in last week’s Sun, remarks: “That old buzzard was about again due for a line of personals from the Georgia newspapers, as it has not had its name in the papers for several months. According to the newspa pers that old buzzard has been pay ing periodical visits throughout Geor gia for the past fifty years, and we insist that its bell should be worn out by this time, and it be provided by a new one.” o Keep Praying. Some business men were holding a conference over their affairs. The outlook was rather gloomy. Finally one of the men remarked: “We must keep praying.” He spoke almost un consciously; he was giving audible expression to his innermost thoughts, but his words gave encouragement to his associates for they knew he was sincere. * Prayer is the greatest help in busi ness affairs and in public affairs as well. Prayer, in the right spirit, will carry us through. If the things we have been doing, or the positions we have taken, are wrong, we will find the mistake through prayer and will have the strength and the cour age to correct it. And any endea vor on any other basis is futile.— Spartanburg Sun. o Buy Mountain Camp. Through the efforts of its officers and members of the camp committee, the Georgia Press Association will soon come into possession of a per manent camp’ in the heart of the mountain region of North Georgia. The camp sight is near Sawtooth, on the Tallulah Falls railroad, and on which is located a number of cot tages, garages, assembly hall, etc., all equipped with water and electric lights. The transfer of title to the property will be made in the next few days with promise of possession about September Ist. A construction company are the original owners of the property, which will complete its present project and turn over same to its new owners at the time above stated. These cottages are to be furnished by members of the Georgia Press Association and occupied by them and their families as summer homes and for annual meetings of the association.—Butler Herald. Georgia’s Coming! A number of northwestern farm ers have bought farms in Georgia I recently and there promises to be 1 quite an influx of them within the next year or so. Oglethorpe county ha sa number of farms that would be attractive to some of those farm ers. Somebody ought to get busy !in attracting attention to those farms.—Oglethorpe Echo. o Something Really Good In Quart Jars. Mountain liquor isn’t the only ’thing put up in fruit jars. We fre quently get a qilart or two of that salubrious fluid, the grand and glo rious old buttermilk in a fruit jar,— and the effect is always much better on the stomach and nerves. —Hart- well Sun. Amen, brother. But we hope but termilk is more easily available in Hartwell than it is in Fort Valley. Looks like we’re going to have to get a cow.—Fort Valley bune. o A Great State. The annual report of the Georgia commissioner of agriculture shows that the state’s agricultural products in 1924 totaled in value $27,000,000 more than the previous year. The estimated value of Georgia crops in 1924 was $263,085,896. Commenting on these figures, Com missioner Brown said: “The increased production in the cotton crop is re sponsible for the greater part of this increased .value, although there are several contributing causes for this upward trend in the production and value of Georgia’s agricultural pro ducts.” Georgia is growing, at this rate, more than a million dollars worth of crops every four years.—lndustrial Index. o x OLD JOE JONES «SAYS— “It often makes a man hot when you tell him cold fa<;ts.” Ye., The Truth Often Hurts, Joe. o f A Hear And Their By DANA ' V.

See Mark 9:23. THE HARTWELL SUN, HARTWELL, GA., JULY 3, 1925 “FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH” By E.8.8.Jr. The paving project for Hartwell as mapped out by the latest plans are ideal. A petition is being circulated around town calling for an election to be held at an early date to vote on paving Hartwell’s main street, namely, the highway street which passes through the center of town. As planned now, the paving will com mence at a spot somewhere near the campground and continue through the city on to the fork of the road where the two bridge roads lead to Hailey’s and Alford’s bridges, re spectively. A finer idea could not be conceived. As a civic asset this strip of pavement will prove of un told value to Hartwell and the com munity. While the election is yet to be held there is little doubt but that the result will be unanimously in fa vor of paving. With all of the problems and per plexing situations the automobile has brought to the country at large these few years, it is generally conceded that through tjie automobile, and automobile alone, good roads have been built throughout America. Lone ly hamlets have become flourishing cities. Country communities have grown to progressive towns; Sill of America has been linked together by reason of fine highways and roads and as a people we have come doser together and to know each other bet ter. The automobile has done this. The newly-built highways, being a natural consequence. In and around Hartwell, every town and city—, our neighbors—seem close-by friends. We hop in a car and in a remarkably short time we are in Royston, or La vonia, in Elberton, or Anderson. Do you remember that day, not so long past when after an early start from Hartwell we “poked” along with car riage and horse after a half-day’s rade, finally reached Anderson? Or, perhaps their was a ball came on, in Royston, and we hurriedly ate our dinner and with buggy and horse “set out” for that distant town get ting there, hot, and dirty, barely in time for the game! That day seems a long ways back in ancient history but truly it hasn’t been such a long time ago. Granting that the auto mobile has been a serious load on the financial burden of the country, there Ijave been other compensations that have made up for every fault and blemish. • Just a matter of fifteen, or more minutes’ ride, over a broad highway spreading over gentle hills and peace ful valleys, there’s a new attraction that has drawn many Hartwell peo ple this summer. It is the new swimming pool of Ginn’s, constructed just outside of Royston. With plen ty of fresh water, situated in a de lightful spot in a grove of protecting trees, it has been a lure to all of Roystbn and the surrounding towns. Ginn’s pool is an extremely well planned bathing place with sides and bottom of concrete and a plentiful supply of cold, refreshing water. In the day-time it is the playground of a number of visitors and at nights ’till 10 o’clock, the closing time, attractively lighted and chap eroned as it is, the crowds continue to come ’till the time is up. Hart well is to have, at her Country Club, just such a pool by next summer, at least. Already the Country Club has the sportiest little 9-hole golf course in the near vicinity and with a little more age, it will have few equals. Tennis courts have just been opened. A club-house will be built in the near future. And with all these attrac tions grouped conveniently near Hartwell, a real play-ground will be available and plenty of entertain ment for the visitor and native-born be provided. - After all, though 4ife must neces sarily be a serious thing, there should be moments of relaxation and amusement. It was not intended for man to spend all his time at serious tasks and perplexing struggle. The mind needs rest, the body seeks di verting exercises, the soul must have an outlet for expression. Work does none of this. So, when we, after an honest day’s toil turn the key in store door or lock the office for the night, there should be a few hours of play and then homeward bound, forgetting the troubles of the day ’till the night is past. In small town life, it is many times a hard matter to find suitable recreation and re laxing amusement. Fortunately, in Hartwell’s new Country Club, a hap py solution to the whole problem has been found. I suppose if the truth were known, and each man of us had our hearts searched and our souls probed, many strange things would be drawn to light and exposed to view. Man, in his most lucid moments is a baffling mixture of emotions. Man, in his most understandable moods presents to us a complex nature. So many of us go through life, probably victims of circumstances, choosing our pro fessions and careers in a hap-hazard way, then sticking doggedly to the task, afraid to let go. The doctor wanting to be the merchant. The lawyer inwardly wishing for a farm er’s life. The traveler dreaming of a resting place. The capitalist not really hoping for more industries to captain but for simpler things such as travel and rest with perhaps fish ing, and hunting, and golf thrown in. Suppressed desires! I wonder how many there are of us who carry se crets locked in our hearts! Person ally, though happy as I am, in my chosen work, there are times when I would like to forget the never ceasing call for work.and the strug gle from year to year and sit back in some “Utopia” finding unrestrain ed time for neglected music and de layed. reading, and finding time, too, for a fling at writing and—, “sup pressed desires.” I was walking in the little city of Norman, Okla., a few years ago, a friend and I, and w'e passed by a I new house in the process of con struction. And as we came nearer and paused, I noticed a workman hammering away in carpentry work and though he was all begrimed, and hot, and tired, there was a happy look on his,face. And I looked again and I saw that his hair was gray and on his face was the mark of re finement and high intelligence. And my friend noting my questioning look, told me about this man and a strange story it was but true just the same. Os how once upon a time this old man had been a learned professor in the University of Okla homa., and had held high positions of honor in college circles. And time had passed and in spite of his standing and prestige he had never been happy. In truth, always yearn ing and longing for other things. Came a day, when, desperate for real contentment he had chucked every thing—•, position, honors, standing. Threw it all to the winds in »one whoop and determined to become a day laborer with no responsibilities. And so he did and here we were face to face with him. And there was a look of happiness on his face. Life is full of such stories. o I I I I I II H I I 1 I I I Hll I I l-M-H A L/N£ O’ CHEER By John Kendrick Bangs.

Dry weather and being behind wflth farm work are no reasons for neglecting the garden. Conserve moisture and keep the crust from forming by keeping up cultivation. The gardener who gets the price for vegetables looks ahead and has things when other gardeners have al lowed their gardens to go to waste. Remember to make successive plant ings, keeping in mind the surplus needed for canning. Do not cultivate the beans while the foliage is wet. Deeply planted tomato plants will stand drouth much better than the shallow planted. It is now time to start late tomatoes by planting seeds or transplanting young plants. Vacant spaces in the garden are a loss. Fill them. Plant sugar corn between the snap bunch bean rows and beans between the corn rows. You can't afford not to have suc cessive plantings coming along. Strawberry beds that have given three good crops should be plowed up and plans made for renewing. When the berry crop is off. remove the mulch and cultivate. The first runners will give the best and the strongest plants. Allow these to take root if you need more plants. Control of Worms and Beetlas. The worm boring into canta loupes, commonly called the pickle worm, is very difficult to control. Early planting is the best method of control. Spraying with arsenate of lead does some good although not altogether satisfactory. Method of spraying: One pound of powdered arsenate of lead. Three pound;' '' ' '<?. Fifty gallons ... w.,.er. Mix and thoroughly spray vines about once each ten days from the time they begin to bloom until just before the melons ripen. To control the striped cucumber beetle dust with calcium arsenate mixed with eflual parts of hydrate of lime or spray with arsenate of lead at the rate of three to five pounds to fifty gallons of 'water. If bor deaux mixture is being used, the ar senate of lead may be mixed with this spray.

Leafy, succulent vegetables are tonics, blood purifiers, conditioners— they are all these and more. They furnish much in the form of vita mines upon which life and growth depends. Requests have come for the fol lowing recipes: Pe.eh Pickle. Ten pounds peeled peaches, four pounds sugar, one quart of vinegar, one tablespoon old cloves (crushed), one tablespoonful sticked cinnamon (crushed), one cup hot water. Method: Pare peaches and drop in cold water immediately to save their col or. Put sugar into preserving ket tle with one cup of hot water, boil and skim, add vinegar and spicese (tied in cheese cloth bag). Drain peaches well and drop in boiling liquid, cook until you can pierce eas ily with a straw. Pack in sterilized jar while hot and process one min ute. Fig Preserve*. Six quarts of figs, three quarts of water, two quarts of sugar. Method: Peel the figs with a lye solution of four level tablespoonfuls to one gallon of water. (With some variety of figs more lye is needed.) Have figs in wire basket or small sack. Dip in boiling lye for thirty seconds. Then in clear boiling water for a few seconds an dthen into cold water. Drain well and let stand in shallow trays in sunshine for one to two hours before preserving. Gradually add fruit to the skimmed boiling sy rup which has previously been made by boiling the sugar and water to gether for ten minutes. Cook rap idly until the figs are clear and transparent. Carefully lift the fruit out and place in shallow pans or trays, cook syrup to 222 or 224 de grees F., and pour hot over figs and allow them to stand over night to plump. Jack the figs cold in steril ized jars, fill each jar to overflowing with the syrup. Cap, clamp and process eleven ounce jars for fifteen minutes at boiling or thirty minutes at simmering. FRANCES A.
