Iwas held in Atlanta during the
year, 1895.
Sunday, May 31, 1896, the At
lanta Constitution carried an
article concerning these windows
and their placement in the Libr
ary windows. From a copy of the
article kept in the State Library.
I am attaching a part to this
MEMORY:
Mrs. William C. Clarke, in
| behalf of the ladies of Newton
County, has just presented to the
I State the beautiful window which
; was used in the exhibit of New
ton County at the exposition in
the state building.
। The window has been accept
ed by Governor Atkinson and is
। now in the State Library on the
, East side of the Capitol. The
window is indeed a work of art
and greatly adds to the beauty
of the library. It is a double
i window, leaded, and of art'glass,
j and is in four sections. In one
। corner of the window is “New
ton County, 1821”, and just op
posite is “Newton County, 1895”.
In art glass is given a view on
Main Street, Covington, the
I public school building, Covington;
Seney Hall. Emory College, and i
” large photograph in colored <
glass of the Porterdale Mills of
Newton County. 1
In the lower corners are shown
the watermelon and various fruits
of Newton County. -
Mrs. Clarke was chairman of
the ladies executive committee
which was appointed to arrange
ihe window was secured for the
the Exposition, and it is due
almost entirely to her work that
the winodw was secured for the
exposition. She raised the funds
for the window and suggested
the idea of portraying the wealth
and progress of her County in
art glass.
The window was greatly admir
ed at an Exposition and Mrs.
Clarke received many compli '
NEWS AT A GLANCE
About People and Things in Georgia
Georgia's lawmakers, after |
typical pro and con discussions, i
have decided to do what Gov.
Herman Talmadge asked of
them in the first place — to
complete their 70-day job this
year and stay away from the I
legislative halls during 1954’s
gubernatorial campaign year.
Instead of staying in continuous
session now, as he originally.
requested, the General Assemb- I
ly will adjourn Feb. 25 and
reconvene Nov. 16 for a 25-day
I meeting. But that's all right
■with the Governor, just so long
as the legislators don't meet in
1954. His reason: "Little con
! structive business has been con
ducted for the people by leg
islatures in gubernatorial cam
paign years”... The state's net
tax receipts for the first seven
months of the current fiscal year
dropped $3,270,791 under a year
ago, according to Gov. Tal
madge. who predicted a total
loss for the year at "about 7-
million in ad valorem taxes and
$lO-million in income taxes.” He
blamed the income tax losses on
increases in federal taxes.
AROUND GEORGIA: The
Georgia Forestry Commission
will have raised and shipped a
j record - breaking 53-5-million
seedling trees by the end of the
current season in March. Farm
lumber companies and private
I landowners have bought the
young trees for planting in the
I state and the demand far ex
ceeded the supply, according to
I state officials who said “we
I could have sold 75-million seed
■ lings if we had them’’... Thorn
ton E. Stokes, retired president
of Clyde Porcelain Steel Corp.,
Clyde. Ohio, has opened Rice
Springs Farm, four miles west
of Rome, for producing pure
bred Aberdeen-Angus cattle. Mr.
Stokes’ wife, the former Elsie
Gunn, is a native of Floyd Coun
ty. The 1,000-acre farm is locat
ed at the site of the 100-year-old
Rice-Gunn family home. . . In
ternal Revenue Bureau workers
will set up shop in 149 Geor
gia counties between now and j
March 16 to help taxpayers pre
pare their returns. They will
visit one or more cities in each
of the counties, staying one day
in smaller towns; up to a month
in the larger cities.

PERSONALITY SPOTLIGHT:
Congratulations are in order for
J. L. Philcher, of Meigs, suc
cessor to the late Eugene E.
Cox as a member of the U. S.
House of Representatives from
Georgia's Second Congressional
Altar Thoughts
by
REV. R. B. HAWKINS
“A good name is rather to be
chosen than great riches.” Prnv.
22:1.
I heard this story of a man.
who sought to borrow money
from a bank. The bank asked
him for an endorser on the note.
The man had great difficulty
in finding an endorser and some
one suggested that he get a
certain man who did not possess
a foot of earth or a piece of
property in the world. When this
man's name was presented to
the bank as possible endorser it
was readily accepted and the
man was able to borrow the
money. Although the endorser
did not have any money, he did
possess a good name.
Some have great riches but do
not have good names. A good
name is not all. You should
also have good standing with
your fellow man and your
Maker. Then it does become all ,
that you need in this world and
in the world to come. Are you
seeking a good name rather than
great riches or any other earthly
posession of all bodily and spirit-1
ual needs?
rrtAiLft: our tuner, we
thank Thee that oinr Lord
taught men that life does not
consist in the abundance of
things thst one might possess.
May we determine more and |
more to know Him, whom to
know is life eternal. Amen. 1

ments upon her work and the
original design which was ex
ceedingly unique and pictures
que. When the Exposition closed,
Mrs. Clarke suggested that the
window be tendered the State,
and she was accordingly appoint
ed a committee of one to deliver
the window to the Governor.
Several days ago Mrs. Clarke
railed upon Governor Atkinson
and tendered the window in
behalf of the Ladies’ Executive
Committee and the County of
Newton. The window was ac
cepted by Governor Atkinson and
was ordered to be placed in the
State Library.
The window has just been
placed in the Library. It oc
cupies the double window in the
District, the 54-year-old Thomas
Countain, a prominent farmer,
merchant and industrialist, won
over six opponents in the recent
14-county special. He is a form
er state senator; served as state
purchasing agent under the
Arnall and Thompson adminis
trations. .. Colonel George Wil
son, director of the State De
partment of Public Safety since
1948 and a close personal friend
of Gov. Talmadge, has submit
ted his resignation in order to
enter the wholesale produce
business in Atlanta. Said he: “I
got an opportunity to get in
something else and I’m afraid it
won’t wait too long." His resig
nation will become effective as
soon as a special audit of his de
partment is completed... Mrs.
Judson Hand, of Pelham, mother
of House Speaker Fred Hand
and the widow of a former state
senator did something the other
day she had never done before.
She attended a legislative ses
sion. She was presented a
bouquet of red roses; later en
tertained by her son and daugh
ter-in-law. She's 76.
