The ice works wonders we know, but it takes an artistic eye to see such beauty as ■ i* quaintly described in yesterday’s At | iaata Journal: “A new statue of white Parian marble ' at Grant's park surprised the visitors who, 1 defying Sunday's cold, went out to enjoy j i a wintor's view of the pretty place. The first glimpse through the pines and cedars j of che rare and dainty piece of art was : charming. Its almost pearl whiteness cut j out like a cameo from the back-ground of : | sere and sable fret*, was suggestive of a | young bride ta her veil and orange i wreaths. On nearer approach what had appeared , to be a veil proved xo be in reality the ; I carven, wind-blown locks of a Brunhiide i in the act of throwing qubits. Her tresses ; i in a fringe of most delicate silkness, so ' finely sculptured that the afternoon sun * glowed yellow t!h rough them, swept out in ' banners behind her. "Back of the marble maiden, a tall tree i in marble lifted Its enoy canopy, and mar- I ble grasses as delicate and beautiful as the ' artist s soul that conceived them, carried tho impress of Brunhilde’s little feet. I he arti-t who made the wonderful statue is one whose work is known . throughout the land to be above criticism, I appoaehlng as nearly as nature does no 1 i perfection. A sight of the statue is worth a visit i | to Giant s park, even in this old weather; in fact, unh-xs one go during 'this season I of ice, the vision of a beautiful figure in i place of what was a fountain, and an oak ' tree in summer time, will not reward I him.” Mrs. Wallace McCaw's german tonight will introduce to Macon society two of the I most charming visitors this cky has ever j had, Miss Dallas and Miss Keith, two of ' 's belles. The young ladies are visiting Mrs. McCaw at her home on Col lege street, but the german will be given at ithc residence of Mrs. R. H. Plant. Mi:-s Caroline Lewis Gordon left yester day for her home in Atlanta, after a pleas ant visit to Mirs. McEuea Johnston. Mrs Louise Todd arrives today to be the guest of Miss Bertha Willingham.

This is as near an approach to the name as is easily given. The club is composed of a number of charming young women, but the name is almost unpro nounceable and nonwritable. Miss Birdie Col man entertained the Tuesday Afternoon Club yesterday after noon most delightfully.

An Erring Giri from Baldwin Found in Wash ton City. Some time ago a story appeared in Tho News to nilie effect Chat a 'prominent young woman of Baldwin county had left her home and come to Macon, from here going >to Washington, D. C.. in company with a young man, whom she claimed as her hus band. A few days 'later the father and brother of the young lady were in the* city 'look ing for hi r. They were told by itiae ticket agent that a young couple answering to the description he gave, had bought tick ets for Washington, D. C. The hrcicher at once bought a ticket for Washington and started in pursuit, the father returning home. That has been several months ago. The brother returned to his home several weeks ago, having 'been unable to find his sister. The matter was soon forgotten by those who knew about it, but interest was re vived a few days ago when a letter was received by the .parents from the young girl asking that they send some one to Washington for her. Her brother again went to Washington and found her in a home for the friendless, and brought her ■back to her home. The family is said to be a very p.-cmi nent one, and the matter is kept a secret. The couple passed through Macon Sunday afternoon. AN ENJOYABLE OCCASION Will be the Teutonians Bal! at Their Hail on Mulberry Street Tonight.

I NEW DIRECTORS For the Exchange Bank Were Elected at Yesterday’s Annual Meeting. MOFICEII SHOWING. The Record for the Year Speaks Eloquently for the Success of the Institution, The annual election of the directors of the Exchange Bank was held yesterday ; morning. Three new names were added to the I I directorate. Mr. W. A .Doody was elected to take i I the place of Mr. Wra. Gordon, who has re- ’ i signed, and Messrs. N. B. Corbin and J. H. | Williams were added to the board. This makes the directorate of the bank [ consist of 'the following business men of i the city: J. W. Cabaniess, S. S. Dunlap, W. R. Rogers, L. W. Hunt, R. E. Park, H. J. Lamar, A. D. Schofield, Sam Mayer, W. A. Doody, J. H. Williams and N. B. Corbin. The same officers were re-elected by the board of directors. These officers now are: President, J. W. Cabaniss. Vice President, S. S. Dunlap. All the other departments of the bank remain the same. The statement made to the bank direc tors was unusually good, and the bank i was shown to be in a flourishing condition. The earnings of the bank for the last six months, July 1 to December 31, 1897, I show that the earnings of the bank were $40,000, a material increase over last year’s earnings for 'the same time. • The banking institutions of Macon show up a particularly good record. The pub lished statements of the Exchange Bank show that that institution has preserved its magnificent record as one of the finest banking institutions in the South. For years the Exchange bank has been the father of Macon’s business men. It is looked upon with the respect and confi dence that a father recives from his chil dren, and everyone feels a pride in the increasing prosperity of the institution. Much of Lite sucess and popularity of the Exchange Bank is due to the per sonality of Mr. J. W. Cabaniss, who is now the president, and for years was 'the cashier of the bank. No man has done more to earn, or deserves more the re spect of the people of a city. He is the type of the business man who is of the highest value to a community. FOR POLICEMEN.

Stops leaks; yes, it do ” If you will extend io me the courtesy of reading this “ad.” I will, I believe, con vince you that 1 am the man you want to paint your roof. I want you to feel, as do the bright, brainy business men of Albany, Thomas ville and other cities where 1 hare worked, i. e., when Harvey English paints their ■ roof wiiu “English Paint Stops Leaks; Ves It do” they are getting the very best set : vice, and paint, that money will buy and at a very resettable price. 1 do but one kind of work —paint metal roofs —and 1 do it better than any one else. This sounds egotistical, and it is, but its the truth. In every calling in life there I is some one who is universally recognized as head and shoulders above his fellows. In every instance it is the one who loves bis calling, who has has large experience, ■ and who has brain capacity to profit by such experience. In roof painting, 1 am I that man. 1 prepare my own paint, and know exactly what is in it. It wiil stop leaks, prevent rust, kill acids, protect surfaces. r It won’t crack, blister, run, peel nor scale off. It is water proof, spark proof, rust pro of, elastic. The color is a chining glossy black, resembling enamel. It wears longer and gives better protection than the red mineral paint in common use. Only one white man and no niggers at ati*:hat knows how to make “English Paint Stops Leaks; Yes It Do.” Ido most of the work myself, aud know that it is well done. I know how to do the right thing at the right time, and Ido it. I have painted many metai roofs in Albany, a few of which are: A. W. Muse & Co., cotton warehouse, one-half acre; Hall’s warehouse, one-half acre; Cook’s warehouse, one-half acre; Gannaway ware house, one acre; Georgia Cotton Oil Com pany, two acres; Mayo Hotel, one-half acre, and lots and lots of roofs of from one to fifty squares (100 square feet.) I am indorsed by the best men of Al- i bany, Ga._ Albany. Ga.. June 5, 1897. We know Mr. Haivey English to be a j citizen of Dougherty county, Georgia, a I ! property holder therein; that he has done ] a large amount of painting in Albany, Ga. We have heard of uo complaints about his ; work. Work entrust’d to his hands will be faithfully executed, and his guarantee is good. J. T. Hester, tax collector; Sam W. Smith, ordinary; S. W.
