MRS. ELLISON S SISTER
SUCCEEDS AT SHORTER.
Rome Paper Highly praises Miss
Coulter’s Work as Art
Teacher.
We copy the following from one
of the Rome papers,
the work of Miss Imogene Coul
ter. She is a sister of Mrs. John
W. Ellison, of our city, and Mrs.
Ellison’s many friends are glad to
hear of her sister’s great success:
“Genuine delight and satisfaction
was expressed by every visitor to
the art exhibit of Shorter college,
on Friday afternoon, this being the
initial event of the commencement
season. The display was arranged
in the studios of the art depart
ment and the work was a revela
tion to the friends of the young
ladies.
“The year’s work under the di
rection of Miss Imogene Coulter
has been most successful. There
are about thirty students in the
department and specimens of the
work of all were on exhibit. Par
ticular attention : has been paid
during the year to work from life,
and to nature work. Many sketch
es from the mountain top and of
the beautiful surrounding scenery
had been made by the sketch class.
The work from life has only been
attempted during the past two
years, and already the students
show marked proficiency.”
HON. E. M. SMITH ANNOUNCES
FOR SOLICITOR GENERAL.
Henry's Well Known and Able
Representative Publishes
Card This Week.
This issue of The Weekly carries
the announcement of the Hon. E.
M. Smith for the office of Solicitor
General of the Flint circuit.
Mr. Smith is on l3 of the best
known lawyers in the circuit and
in the state. In many official ca
pacities he has made his person
ality and his capacity widely
known and valued.
He has had much experience as
a prosecuting officer. For sev
er d terms he held the office of
solicitor of our county court, and
he conducted the affairs of the
office in an able and business
like manner.
A number of times he has served
our city as mayor, and holds the
position at present. Under his
administration the city is installing
a system of waterworks and sew
ers, and is progressing and pros
pering more than ever before in
its history.
Mr. Smith is also an experienced
legislator and is our present repre
sentative. In this capacity he has
done his constituents invaluable
service.
On the personal side also, he is
close to the people. Born in Mon
roe county, reared in Butts, and
having resided in Henry during
all his public career, he is equally
at home with all. His genial and
friendly dealings with all add to
his exceptional intellectual ability.
He would make an able solicitor
general, and we believe the people
of the circuit will agree with us.
