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. o 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. o This old world would be a getter place in which to live if we'd put on a smile the first thing every morn ing when we crawl out. n ■— - 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. o “The green girl doesn’t paint,” .says old Joe Jones. No, Joseph, she •doesn’t have to. She has roses in 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.” o 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. — o 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. o Many a man marries for love— of money. o Yes. It looks like there’s going to be lots of politics next year. We hope the quality will be improved.—Madi sonian. • o • ■ Do you want a newspaper in your s ' home town and county that is not progressive to the core? Answer this, good citizens in Hartwell and Hart county. Come on, let’s go! o The Toccoa Record issued a 32- page national publicity edition last week that is a great boost for that city and Stephens county. We con gratulate The Record on this credit able issue. o ’ The Sun editors pay taxes on a ' business building, two homes aad a I farm; the streets and roads won’t be paved or built by any of them. \ ET, we want to see the road and street bonds pass. If they help oth ers they’ll help us. o Franklin County Paper Praises Move By Hart County People. Hart county is going to vote on a two hundred thousand dollar bond is sue for good roads. This a progres sive step and it. will no doubt carrv. | The money derived from these bonds will be used in all the districts in the county. Lavonia Times. Johnny, You Know It! Talk about Henry Ford’s synthetic cow! Give us the old fashioned moon worshipping cow. Nothing for us but 'er and her buttermilk. No wonder she jumped over the moon. A year of her strength-giving nectar and any 1 man can do it.—Fort Valley Leader- Tribune. Q Amen, Uncle John. It’s good business to patronize 1 home enterprises. Bank with the home banker. Trade with the home merchant. Buy all possible food and feed stuffs from the home merchant. Remain at home on Sundays and hear 1 the home preacher preach. That’s the kind of a spirit to have to be a real booster for your home town.— I Commerce News. o i Editor C. B. Vaughan, of the j Washington News-Reporter, was a I visitor to The Sun office last Fri day afternoon. Mr. Vaughan is | making splendid progress with his I paper in Wilkes and proved an able successor to Editor W. W. Bruner, who now publishes The Twin City News at Batesburg and Leesburg, s. c. o That'* True, Uncle John. One of the regrettable things I about this life we are living is that it is so short. We come, say good morning, how are you, then turn right around and say good-night.— Hartwell Sun. Well, that's a very brief history of a life, but with some of us, that is about all there is to tell. Some lives mean much ,more to the world than others.—Commerce News. Buy At Home. How long would you prosper if I this community did its buying out ' side of Taylor county? How long would this county endure? Most people trade at home because they ' know the greater values and satis ! faction of doing so, and have civic I loyalty. Every one in Taylor county ' would trade at home if they gave the subject serious thought. The business interests of this country are also in terested in your welfare, prosperity, satisfaction and contribute through taxes and other means. Shouldn’t you be interested in theirs?—Butler Her ! aid.

See Psalm 34:12-14. 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 Hear And Their By DANA 1- 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.

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. —Anon.

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.
