City’s Growth Is Graphically Presented By A New Citizen NEW HOMES, NEW BUILDINGS AND NEW ENTERPRISES ARE POINTED OUT BY MR. R. E. COX TO SUN REPORTER Hartwell’s growth through the years has been conservative, from the so-called “mush-room” boom, usually followed by years of inactivity. Steadily and surely have come the developments, —a new home here, another there, a new building erect ed in the business section, some home or building remodeled, and so on. Coming in this way, many times our own citizens are prone to over look such a substantial growth and failing to do so cease to praise their community to the visitor and pass erby.

This was perhaps the best meeting we have ever had at ' Cross Roads from every viewpoint. Rev. E. C. White, of Anderson, S. j ' C., did the preaching, delivering con- ' ] vincing messages at each service. The singing was led by Mr. A. M. Hugh- . ey, also of Anderson. Our congregation has called Rev. White as pastor and we trust he will ’ accept this work. The presence of Rev. White and Bro. Hughey has proven a blessing to this community. , Fire Monday Night Fire almost totally destroyed the one-story building at the intersection of Elbert and Vickery streets in north Hartwell last Monday night at i 8 o’clock. Mr. Tugalo 11. Risner, proprietor j of the grocery store and filling sta tion, had just left the building a short time before, going home for I supper. Passersby noticed a blaze and : the alarm was quickly given. Although the fire department made | a record run the dry timbers caught 1 as if they were grass and the whole ! building was soon enveloped in flames. They did some splendid work j in preventing the flame from reach , ing the gasoline tank and preventing | the destruction of nearby residences. Mr. Risner’s loss was partially cov | ered by insurance. —o Cover Crops More Important Now Than Before / Declaring that the production of crops per acre in Georgia is gradual ly decreasing each year, Prof. H. L. I Fry, head of the Reed Creek Con- I solidated School, graphically present- I ed some facts and figures at the reg ular Kiwanis session here on last Friday. “What Hurt county and Georgia need is more production per acre and not more acreage. When the State is losing in acre-production each year ■ it is very evident that eventually we must do something to turn the tide the other way,” said Mr. Fry. Mr. Fry had been assigned the sub ject “Clovers,” ami gave some prac tical illustrations and told jn a sim ple way just what might be expect ed of clovers in Hart county, stat ing that practically every kind of clover could be grown here. “Clover supplies the humus in the soil, and its importance cannot be j overestimated. Hart county might as well face the fact that her soils are not one-third what they sho><J be from a point of productivity, clo ver and other Boil-btxil* J ing legumes will about a condi- tion whcieoy we Can cut our acre , agq and still make larger crops. » “SittSfc the fertilizer used in 1925 is evidently just whei'C farmers put it, by planting clovers •“J’’* turning under in the spring of we can almost expect double result* from the soil in our next crops,” he continued, Mr. Me Mullan Oil Oats. Hon. W. B. McMullan, aMo of Reed Creek, talked on the importance of oats and vetch. He has had for years signal success in the raising of oats and says he has never had but one failure, this being due to the fact that he was late getting the seed in the ground. “Oats will pay both from a stand point of feed and as a money crop,’* said Mr. McMullan. “I wish that ev ery Hart county farmer might use some of his best ground for oats. There is no virtue in the argument that a farmer can raise enough cot ton on an acre to buy his oats, etc. Raising these things at home is the only way, and I include all the clo vers, vetch, etc.,” concluded Mr. Mc- Mullan, who makes money at the farming game every year. Elberton Charter Night. Delegates from the Hartwell club will attend the charter presentation program in Elberton this Thursday night. Our neighboring city has an active Kiwanis Club. Hawkina and Duncan. The club enjoyed an interesting talk by Mr. Horace P. Hawkins, of Gainesville, always a welcome vis itor, also an interesting summary of Rev. W. A. Duncan’s vacation trip which took him over Tennessee and North Carolina. He said after see ing North Carolina’s roads he could not refrain from saying that this was one of Georgia’s greatest needs. Bth District Medicos Meet Next Year In Royston The 1926 session of the Eighth District Medical Society will meet in Royston, the body accepting an in vitation from Dr. S. D.
