Odd Tale That Added 1
Word to Dictionary
The word "canard" comes from the
French, and means really a "duck";
having originated from a famous news
paper hoax in the shape of a joke that
purported to relate a remarkable ease
of voracity on the part of some ducks.
According to the story, as printed In
a French paper, a certain farmer gath
ered together 20 ducks. One of these
tie killed, and cutting It up into fine
pieces, feathers, bill and all, he fed it
to the remaining 19. The second duck
was killed, treated in the same way,
and fed to the remaining 18; and this
process was continued until the re
maining duck was placed in the post
tion of having eaten 19 companions,
thus proving that by its method one
duck could devour nineteen ether
ducks. This story Was written in so
plausible a style and was of so curious
and Interesting a character that it at
tracted worldwide attention and was
copied by one newspaper after another-
As this was one of the cleverest hoaxes
of the kind that had ever been perpe
trated, it was adopted as the stand
ard of that class of literature, and
| thereafter hoaxes of this sort were
known as “duck stories” or “canards.”

Famous Anniversary
The name “Guy Fawkes’ Day” is
given in England to the fifth of Novem
ber, famous as the anniversary of the
attempted destruction of the British
houses of parliament In 1605. The
day originally was celebrated with re
ligious services. In memory of the
providential deliverance of the king
and parliament; but at the present
time la limited to the peculiar cus
tom of parading straw-stuffed effigies
of Guy Fawkes through the streets of
London and other English cities. Rob
ert Catesby. the principal conspirator
In the t»lot, escaped, but was shot at
j Worcester three days later while at
tempting to raise an insurrection. Guy
Fawkes and several others were put
to death January 81. 1006.—Exchange.

FOUND IN THE
SUN’S MAIL
BAG
f
Philadelphia, Pa., Aug. 3, 1925.
My Dear Louie:—Old Nero who
fiddled away while Rome burned had
nothing on the Hartwell people who
are fiddling away while the muchly
prized Veal’s Bakery is being slowly
but surely consumed by the fire of
selling out-of-town bread in the Hart
well stores. Mr. Veal's letter in last
week’s Sun was a frank statement of
the situation as it now exists. For
some time there have been numerous
articles in The Sun about the possi
bility of Hartwell losing the bakery
but nothing has ever been done to
stop the flow of loaves from Ander
son and other nearby cities. Some
thing should be done and done
quickly. My suggestion is this:
Start a petition, or rather an agree
ment, around and get all grocers,
who will, to sign that agreement,
agreeing not to sell any more out
of-town bread. Publish that list of
names in The Sun and ask all Hart
well loving citizens to buy their
bread from those stores. There may
possibly be one or two grocers who
will refuse to sign the agreement.
The public should also know who they
are for they are real enemies of
Hartwell. A bakery for a good live
town is at stake and this action
should be taken at once. It seems to
me that this is a job for the Kiwanis
Club. Bring it up at your next
meeting. We lost our laundry. Let’s
not lose our bakery.
Yours very truly,
CHAS. J. TEASLEY.
Man of Genius Made
Companions of Dogs
In “Memories and Notes of Persons
and Places,” Sir Sidney Colvin gives
an intimate glimpse of George Mere
dith’s conversation with hi# dogs.
“The most characteristic strain in
his ordinary manner was this blend of
the most scrupulous courtesy with the
frankest raillery, both somewhat elab
orate of their kind. He would take and
keep the same tone with servants. He
would even take It with his pet dogs.
I have noticed that the dogs of men
of genius love them more passiona|ejy
and devotedly than they love ordinary
masters, I suppose feeling la them
some extra glow and intensity of the
/motional faculties calling for a re
sponse lu kind. To the succession of
black and tan or pure tan dachshunds
given to Meredith by various friends,
Koby and Bruny and Pete (for •Ko
bold,’ ‘Bruno,’ ‘Peto’), and Islet, oa
whom he wrote his well known elegy—
to these it was a delight to hear him
talking eagerly by the half hour to
gether In terms now of caressing en
dearment, now of irony, or sometimes,
when the poaching Instinct bad proved
too strong in any of them, of pained
parental reproof."
And tn the same chapter Colvin
quotes Sir James Barrie’s account of
Meredith, written after the latter's
death: "He came swinging down the
path, singing lustily, and calling to his
dogs, his dogs of the present and the
past; and they yelped with joy, for
they knew they were once again. tc
breast the hill with him."

Wake Bailey—leading pitcher of
the Hart County League—hurled one
of the cleverest games of ball seen
here in a long time Tuesday after
noon in the first of a series of six
games with Elberton, but was given
bad support and went down in de
feat by a final score of 5-4.
The Granite City boys, headed by
Sheriff Jack Haley, have a splendid
team and won the game fair and
partly because she got the breaks.
Twice errors gave her runs when they
meant destruction. In the second
inning a miss of an easy roller by
first baseman D. Cleveland put Bai
ley into deep water. Three markers
were shoved across the plate as a
result of this miscue.
Bailey Plays Well.
Besides pitching a wonderful game
Bailey contributed so his team’s
scoring by two triples and a single.
His second triple brought in two run
ners while his othre triple and single
DAHLONEGA NUGGET TELLS OF
VISIT MR. PHILLIPS TO CITY
On Friday our office had a very
pleasant visit from Mr. I. J. Phil
lips, a prominent citizen of Hart
well, a most prosperous city located
in the small but wealthy county of
Hart, named after a woman. He
was accompanied by Prof. E. B.
Vickery, of Dahlonega. This was
Mr. Phillips’ first visit to our town,
who said he wanted to see “Mr. Nug
get,” as he calls us, whose paper he
has been reading for years. He went
up to Frogtown Gap and was delight
ed with the beautiful scenery. Our
visitor spent quite a while with us,
talking interestingly about the beau
tiful churches and school houses of
his town and county, the farming
industry, not forgetting to -mention
the editors of The Sun, one of the
best weeklies in the state, which we
read every week with much interest.
Mr. Phillips is originally from For
syth county, and left here to visit the
scenes of his childhood for the first
time in sixteen years, expecting to
attend services at Friendship church
near Coal Mountain, which was or
ganized eighty-four years ago. The
gentleman is personally acquainted
with Col. West, the new President of
our college, who said the institution
was bound to grow and prosper under
his management.—Dahlonega Nug
get.
went for naught. Bailey fanned nine
men during the contest.
The first scores for Elberton were
made in the second inning-' Three
were sent across the platter in that
frame. The fourth run was squeez
ed in in the seventh and the last one
in the ninth. ,
Hartwell’s eqtire array of runs,/!]
was made in the sixth stanza. With
a couple of mates on board Bailey
leaned against one of Phillips’ offer
l ings for three bags, making two runs.
1 Two more went over before the final
out of the inning was made.
The game was a pitching battle be
tween Bailey, of Hartwell, and Phil
lips, of Elberton. Both hurlers pitch
good games—the hits were evenly
divided, each team getting seven off
its opponents.
