Bible Thoughts memorized, will prove n

Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard,
neither have entered into the heart
of man, the things which God hath
prepared for them that love him.-
1 Corinthians 2:9.
o
The other fellow is always right,
—provided he agrees with you.

Many a woman wears more coats
on her face than she does on her
body.
n
WiM oats never need irrigation
and can come through any kind of a
drought.
o
The fall millinery and other duds
are new but how to pay for it is
still an old problem.
o
Poverty and hard luck drives many
a man to drink and then the under
taker drives him to the cemetery.
1 One virtue in the modern brand '
of hootch is that it often kills the
man before he has time to kill some
one else.

T Hart county citizens have won '
statewide attention by the calling of i
a road bond election. We’d like to
see the election go over strong in !
Hart.
o
Hartwell and Hart county are all ■
Tight, folks. Don’t get scared. Our ]
cotton crop alone is bringing in j
$750,000.00. That’s three quarters i
of a million.

“The green girl doesn’t paint,”

her cheeks from helping mother wash i
dishes and clean up the house.
o
Serious Interruptions.
“Yes,” sighed wifie, “Henry has
only two regrets in life. One is that
he has to wake up to eat, and the
other is that he has to quit eating
to sleep.”
o
The creeks and rivers have about
gone dry, and that’s bad, but when
they cows get to going dry and that
noble drink, the succulent, salubrious
old buttermilk, gets scare truly a
great calamity has befallen us.
o
As Is.
At the grave of the departed the
old darky pastor stood, hat in hand.
Looking into the abyss he delivered
himself of the funeral oration.
“Samuel Johnson,” he said sorrow
fully, “You is gone. An’ we hopes
you is gone where we ’specks you
ain’t.”

Hardwick's Paper Out.
The Georgia Free Lance is the
name of a weekly newspaper being
edited by former Governor Thos. W.
Hardwick at Dublin, the first issue
coming out last week. The initial
number proved interesting and if it
was in keeping with the proposed
policy of Editor Hiydwick bids fair to
create no little excitement “from Ra
bun Gap to Tybee’s light.”
o -
Here’s Why.
Titusville is a small town in Flor
ida. The Star-AdvoCate, a weekly
paper published in the town, tells of
a recent drive made by forty citizens
to raise funds for a Titusville Cham
ber of Commerce. Thirty-two thou
sand 'dollars was raised. Titusville
is not much larger than Batesburg.
Doesn’t this statement give you an
idea why people are daily riding
through South Carolina going to Flor
ida? That money will be spent in
advertising Titusville, and every man
who put up a dollar will no doubt
get it back a hundred fold.—Twin-
City News, Batesburg, S. C.

Quite True.
A salesman asked a farmer to buy
bicycle. “They are cheap now and
I can let you have a good one for
$35.00.”
“I would rather put the money on
another cow,” said the farmer, re
flecting.
“You would look mighty foolish
riding around your farm on a cow,
now wouldn’t you?” said the sales
man.
Said the farmer: “No more foolish
I would milking a bicycle.”—
Georgia Watching Hart County
Theae Days.
Hart county, one of the worst hit
counties in the state by the drought
this summer, will issue two hundred
thousand dollars worth of bonds for
building roads to give her citizens
work (luring the winter. Fifteen
thousand dollars will be spent in each
militia district, and the farmers will
be given as much of the work as they
can do. This will give them employ
ment for themselves and their stock,
and enable them to make another
I crop. There is no more progressive
I county in the state than Hart, and
j the determination of its citizens to
take care of its farmers in this way
is only another pcoof of this fact.
Besides helping the farmers to hold
together until time to make another
crop, the movement will result in a
system of highways in Hart county
that will be a great factor in the
future upbuilding and prosperity of
the county.—Crawfordville Advocate-
Democrat.

Many a man marries for love—

It’s good business to patronize

the kind of a spirit to have to be a

THE HARTWELL SUN, HARTWELL, GA., SEPTEMBER 25, 1925
“FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH”
By E.8.8..Jr.
Who was it that said “The Wilds
of Alabama”? Whoever he was, he
didn’t miss it very far. Running out
of the Balfour Atlanta office for a
jaunt through the South, my
first stop has been Auburn, Ala., the
seat of the Alabama Polytechnic In
stitute, but more familiarly known
to most of us as just plain “Auburn.” i
Here in this little town of 1000 in
habitants situated in a farming dis
trict, this great college has drawn
each year hundreds of students from
Alabama and neighboring states and
because of its splendid work has
made a name for itsself throughout 1
the Souht. In athletics as well, “Au
burn” has achieved quite a record.
Her football team and other sports
have been top-notch and because of
the fine sportsmanship which is so :
predominant throughout the whole ■
student body, a wonderful friendship ,
has been created with the outside i
world. I still remember in college
days at “Ga.” how we all admired
“Auburn.” Even though they were
our bitter rivals, there always existed
the finest of spirit between the two
schools.
♦ ♦ *
But, country is right. The little
place hasn’t changed a particle in five
I years. Just that number of years ;
ago I made my final swing through
this territory before going to West
ern territory. If there has been any
change in that time, 1 cannot see it.
I stepped off an Atlanta train and the 1
same old antiquated station still was ;
doing its heroic duty. “Jeff,” an old
Southern darky, promptly came up
relieving me of my baggage and ied
the way to the old hotel two blocks
away. Wearing a straw hat of early
vintage, and trousers flopping with
the wind, as shoes that threatened
to cave in at any moment, he gave i
me a ceaseless gunfire of local news
before I reached the hotel. It seem
ed that the “Halls” (as he called the
fraternity houses) were all full and
overflowing and the school crowded
with new students and so far no ,
“jewely man” had come in—, “No,
Sah, cap.” The old hotel, a relic of
olden days of cololian style, still ;
wore the same inviting air and after ;
a busy day on the train and other- j
wise offered a comforting note
against all the other discouraging H
thoughts of a stay of a few days in
this out-of-way place. No, Auburn [
hasn’t changed any. Her little string I
of stores and shops and college hang
outs still remain as they were years
ago. The townspeople live a quiet,
easy life, unmindful of the outside
world. The throngs of college boys
that ptfss fro along the street
and loaf around the soda founts still
wear the clothes typical of “Auburn”
•—, just a shirt and an old pair of
pants, with never a hat and rarely
ever a tie, —just as you I would dress
if we were away from critical eyes.
•» * •
In all of the South there is prob
ably no college that exacts as little
demands in the way of money as
“Auburn.” The- college itself asks
little in registration fees and the liv
ing expenses of the college students
is extremely low. Living expenses,
as a whole, for everyone in this little
town is remarkably small. The most
pleasing part of my stay at Auburn
was that moment when I came to pay
my hotel bill after three full days’
visit with the omission of three or
four meals, and the sum total was

IT'S A FUNNY thing

BUT IN THIS world of ours
• • •
ALL OF US, it seems
♦ ♦ ♦
DEEP DOWN in our hearts

MOST always remember

THE NICE THINGS said about us

AND EVEN after many years
♦ ♦ *
HAVE gone by
• * •
WE STILL HOLD dear

TO SOME grateful words

OR ACTS of confidence

BESTOWED UPON us
* * *
AND ALSO MAY IT be said
♦ * •
THAT THE SAME things holds true
♦ * *
TO LITTLE “slights”
* a a
AND UNKIND words or acts
♦ * *
AND OFTEN AFTER MANY years
WE REMEMBER those, too
AND WHO DEALT them out
♦ ♦ ♦
AND SO THIS week
AS MY PARTN*ER and I
STRUGGLED for business
a a a
THERE CAME a nice order
OUT OF THE clear sky, almost
♦ • ♦
AND WE wondered why we got it
FROM A competitor's territory
♦ ♦ *
'TIL WE finally found out
a a a
THAT THREE YEARS ago
a a a
THIS COMPETITOR of ours
a a a
HAD MADE SOME tactless remark
a a a
THE BOYS didn’t like
AND SO when the “crisis” came
$5.75. I wonder if there exists any
other place in the country that can
beat that?
♦ ♦ *
This has been a week of contrasts.
After plugging through the West and
■ learning to know and love that type
of college man, another type of col-
I lege man has come to my attention.
In the West it was a more dignified,
more serious, more grown-up sort of
chap. The boys out there sense life
ias it really is, a little sooner. They
impress an outsider as having a little
I more responsibility. In the South—,
[here at Auburn—, I found a much
younger bnuch of college men. Very
much less sophisticated and very lit
tle concerned with the seriousness of
■ the opportunities of college life. And
’ yet, I liked them. The Southern col
i iege boy is a happy fellow with al-
I ways a brod smile lighting his face
i and a hearty laugh lurking near.
The Southern boy is more hospitable
i—, it’s just in their nature. They
j love company and easily warm up to
l new friends. I’m wondering if after
■ all the Southern Colleg eboy doesn’t
I get more out of college than thoes
| boys back West—, “in the great,
j open spaces.”
• • »
Funny how one’s very life changes
almost overnight. Vacation times
i come and we discard business and
I live in a whirl of exciting diversions.
1 Each day no exact plans to make,
j each day a full round of unexpected
; pleasures to be had. Then work
I time comes and we get on the job
I again. We put our toys away in the
! attic and pack away our picture
books and begin to plan for other
things. Such as plans for selling,
and plans for organized work and
schemes to make money. If one
happens to be a salesman this is es
pecially true. At home, it is one
life; on the road, it is an entirely dif
ferent world.

This is written at Tuscaloosa, Ala.,
on a Sunday morning. Auburn is
behind me and once more I’m in a
fairly good size city. Tuscaloosa,
the seat of the Uiversity of Alabama,
is a smart little college community
reminding the visitor somewhat of
Athens, Ga. College life is rounded
out in a more pretentious manner
htan at Auburn. It is a city of old
I families and aristocratic standards.
The old families are housed, in man
sions of modern architecture or else
in colonial abodes dating back to the
old South. The fraternity and sor
ority life of the University of Ala
bama keeps a fitting, pace to such an
environment.

The announcement of Mr. C. A.
Bryant’s coming to Hartwell as
County Agent impressed me with
morq than ordinary interest. Thru
college days at “Georgia”’ I came to
know “Cab,” as he is familiarly
known to his friends, and as the
years have gone by a friendship was
huilded that will last always. Mr.
Bryant is one of those- meu who is
endowed naturally to have a host of
rfiends wherever he goes—, it was
that way at “Georgia” and it has
been that way elsewhere. But finer
still, are the manly characteristics
that have made him respected by all
of his friends—, sincerity, honesty,
and a heart of gold. I wish for
“Cab” the greatest success in his
new position with Hart county.

LEVS HURRY THE PAVING
If the county road bonds fail to

county man they possibly can when
the Hartwell paving begins.

WHAT MUSCOGEE COUNTY IS
GOING TO DO ABOUT ROADS
Down in Muscogee county, Geor
gia, they’re going into the road busi
ness on a scale that will make the
South sit up and take notice. Hart
county is trying to get a system of
good roads, too, but on a much small
er scale.
Read what The Industrial Index
says of Muscogee county:
“Muscogee county, Georgia, is to
vote on the issuance of $1,650,000
for paving roads. Everybody is for
it.
“With this money, supplemented,
by federal and state aid funds, eyery
leading road in the county will be
paved with a hard surfaced material.
The cost is estimated at not to ex
ceed $30,000 a mile.
“This will be a tremendously pro
gressive step on the part of Mus
cogee county and will be an inspira
tion to every county in Georgia
whole roads are not paved,.
"It is interesting to note that Mus-
I cogee county has never had a bond
j issue before but has lived on its in
' come and has built bridges, public
buildings and a splendid system of
sand-clay roads out of its current
funds.”
o
Old Joseph Jones says "If brevity
is the soul of wit then I reckon a
rabbit’s tail is his soul.”
o '
A Laugh.
A laugh is just like sunshine,
It freshens all the day,
It tips the peak of life with light,
And drives the clouds away;
The soul grows glad that hears it
And feels its courage strong;
A laugh is just like sunshine
For cheering folks along.

Did You Get the
Concrete Feeding Floor You
Paid for Last Year?
IF you feed your hogs grain on an un paved lot, they
waste from IO to 25 per cent of the grain— -or more-
This means you paid for a feeding floor—a Concrete
feeding floor—in grain lost last year. Are you going to
keep on paying for one every year and not get it?
A Concrete feeding floor assures fatter, sturdier,
healthier hogs—hogs that bring you top prices. It is the
shortest cut between hog and bacon.
And the Concrete feeding floor is permanent. It is
in every way economical. It is also very easy to build.
Remember, you are paying for a Concrete feeding
floor —why not have one?
