The subject of this sketch was born in
Meriwether county at AVoodbury. He
began to study his profession, that of
art, at Thomastou. He took lessons
from that noted lady, Mrs. Sandwich,
and finally graduated from Cooper
Union and Metropolitan Institute, New
York. He taught his first class at Tliom
aston and his pupils were inspired in the
heayenly vocation from the start. His
next class was at Americus, where he
gave entire satisfaction, and proved him
self a true master of his profession. He
was next, in 1594, engaged by J. C. Blas
ingame, president of the Jackson Insti
tute. His work here has given more
than mere satisfaction, for onr peeple

of the man as well as his vocation. He

fore they are aware of their attainments
they can draw so well that not only their
parents, but they themselves, are sur
prised at their work. His crayon work
is mastered so easily, that his pupils
hardly realize how they attained to it so
nicely. He is a perfect master when it
comes to pastelle and oil paintings.
The one thing attached to Mr. Lewis
that makes his services so much sought
and appreciated, is the faculty he pos
sesses of imparting his knowledge to
and inspiring others with a desire to be
come the master of this noble vocation
that he himself is. The walls of Jackson
Institute are lined with pictures that
would do credit to the graud old mas
ters who have won for themselves fame,
which are brought into existence in the
Institute studio under the skillful touch
of Prof. Lewis and those to whom he
has this year been imparting his knowl
edge for the people of Jackson.

to have such men as Mr, Barnett locate in
Jackson and we congratulate the Globe

besides having relatives there, gives him
an advantage over others in dealing in
stock, and those who trade
with him get the benefit of these advan
