THE HARTWELL SUN, HARTWELL. GA., AUGUST 7, 1925 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.” I Splendid Gems Adorn Tiara Worn by Pope The wonderful papal tiara, or crown, which the pope wears, Is a magnificent ornament.

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. Even the most cool, self-possessed expert Ford driver is always retting rattled.—Nashville Banner. 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."

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.
