FRONT NEW DEPOT.
COUNCIL MEN BLOSSOM OUT
IN NEW SPRING All IRE
Spring In here.
Tills has been decided by the city
council nnd in flow an official, authori
tative fact.
The semi-official announcement was
made some two wdeks ago when Col
onel J. G. Woodward, ex-mayor,
sauntered forth with the first straw hat
of the season.
Alderman Curtis, though, by virtue
of tho fact that he wears no “ex” be
fore his name, has officially announced
the advent of springtime by blossom
ing forth in full spring regalia, with
all tho appurtenances and accessories,
frills and furbelows.
Alderman Hlrsch seconded the mo
tion. Mayor Joyner says he will sign
on Sunday the ordinance by which At
lanta accepts,the gifts of the glorious
springtime.
Alderman Curtis cut a wide swath on
Whitehall and Peachtree Haturday
morning. In all the glory of a light
gray suit, liberally sprinkled with black
dots and crossed at right angles every
now and then with black lines, with a
natty straw hat, glistening In the sun
shine. and, with tie and other articles
of clothing to match, tho alderman
Yrom the First received spring.
Alderman Hlrsch decided to come out
on the installment plan. Saturday
morning he wore only his spring suit,
a nifty admixture of greenish gray or
grayish green and dots and lines artls-
tlcully commingled. The next Install
ment, It is stated on good authority
from semi-official sources, will be n
straw of latest design, followed closely
by a rainbow tie.
Mayor Joyner held a meeting on the
question of his spring outfit Friday
afternoon. It was a star chamber ses
sion. and nothing that transpired was
given out.
A leak wan sprung, however, and It
seems certain that the mayor will
blossom and bloom into sprlngtlmo
Sunday, the vote at the caucus being
unanimous on this point.

The pupils of the seventh and eighth

Georgian Friday, March IS, looked over
the entire plant and watched that day's
Issue of the paper sent to press and
printed. Later, at the suggestion of
Miss Kstherlno B. Massey, who, by the
way, has been principal of Boulevard
School for twelve years, and has been
connected with the public schools of
Atlanta for more than a quarter of a
century, the pupils prepared composi
tions on the subject of The Georgian

une of the best of those submitted

year-old member of the eighth grade.

THE GEORGIAN.
By Willis Harwell, March 21. 1907.
One of the most Interesting days of
this term was last Friday, when we,
the seventh and eighth grades of Boule.
ard, were the guests of The Atlanta
Georgian.
Everything was thoroughly explained
to us. We were told how the reporters
went front place to place, gathering up
news to be put In the paper. This Is
carefully read over by well educated
men, to see If there are any mistakes.
It is then carried to tho operators that
write on the linotype machines. They
press little keys, somewhat like those
ot tho typewriter. Little brass molds
come sliding down a chute, and are held
tight In a line for a second, while hot
metal Is pressed against them. A block
of metal, which has a line of words
on It, now comes out.
After this a long Iron arm reaches
over und takes the little molds back
to their place. It Is fascinating to
watch tho easy but steady movements
of these wonderful machines. They,
seetn almost lifelike.
These bars of metal are put Into an
Iron frame, Just the size of n sheet of
the newspaper. A white pleco of paper
Is placed upon It, and damp cloths ara
laid over this. It Is then taken to n
machine, where a large Iron roller
passes over It, making what they call
tho third impression, 'l'nis jiaper is
corrleil to another room and put Into
a machine, where hot metal Is poured
upon It. When It comes out It Is n
large curved piece of lead, bearing
writing.
A man takes this to the giant prees
nnd fits and straps It on a roller. When
the press starts, huge bundles of paper
unroll and pass over title type, and
come out at the other end a printed
paper; even counted and folded, ready,
for distribution.
They are carried to the mall room,
where they are wrnnped In bundles to
be sent away. After the mall has gone
papers are counted out to the boys,
who deliver them to the people of At
lanta.
We appreciated very much the kind
ness and courtesy with which Tho
Georgian treated us.
