NEWNAN, FRIDAY, APE. 9,
MELINDA’S E A STER HAT,
BY LITT JONES.
Melinda Waters went to town,
And in a milliner’s shop
She saw a turban with a plume
Of whiskbroom shape on top.
She bought a frame untrimmed, and home
She hied, and down she sat
With Jeremiah’s Bhaving-brush
She decked that Easter hat.
Melinda Waters set the style;
She went to church, and. lo!
Now every man for miles around
Must let his whiskers grow,
For all her friends behold her hat
And marked the plume upon it.
And each one took a shaving-brush
To trim her Easter bonnet.

“LEADERS IN DRESS GOODS”
President Taft Sends Acknowledg
ments.
A short time ago Prof. Chas. Astin
composed and had published a catchy
bit of rag-time to which he gave the
equally catchy title, “Billy ’Possum
Cakewalk.” The front page shows at
the top a small picture of President
Taft, and at the lower left-hand cor
ner a larger and better likeness of
Harry Fisher, the ’possum's most en
thusiastic champion in the South. In
the background is a flourishing persim
mon tree, and swinging by its tail from
one of the limbs is shown the wiry
outlines of Brer ’Possum, making alto
gether a very striking frontispiece.
Last week Prof. Astin sent copies of
the composition to Congressman Ad
amson, with a request that he convey
them to President Taft with the com
poser’s compliments. Congressman Ad
amson did as requested, and this week
Prof. Astin received the following au
tograph acknowledgment from the
President, to-wit:
“Washington. April 2.
“My Dear Mr. Astin: I have re
ceived through Representative Adam
son a copy of your recent composition,
and thank you for your courtesy in
sending it to me. With all good wishes,
believe me Sincerely yours,
“Wm. H. Taft.”
So far as known this is the first au
tograph letter from President Taft that
has been received in Newnan.
Led All Agents in New Business
Secured.
During the month of March Mr. F.
M. Bryant, district agent of the Na
tional Life Insurance Co., wrote more
business than any agent soliciting for
this conipany in the United States. In
appreciation of his excellent work Mr.
Byant received this week the following
letter from the president of the com
pany—
“Montpelier, Vt., April 3, 1909.
“Mr. F. M. Bryant, Newnan, Ga.-—
Dear Sir: The company’s bulletin of
issues for March indicates that out of
211 agents you, in the month of March,
are credited with the largest number
of policies personally written. While
I have not met you. as I trust 1 may
some time, it is wholly appropriate
that upon this fact I should express to
you appreciation of your work, both
in behalf of the company and in be
half of the general agency of Deo. M.
Hope & Co. The National Life is an
old. conservative institution, all of the
time advancing its services to its mem
bers, and to the public as a whole, on
proper lines. It has very many men
of great ability devoted to its work.
Any man who achieves such a record
as you have may justly consider it a
mark of honor and capacity, if his
work is well done and proves persist
ent. I desire to thank you for your
service, and to express the hope that
you will find, as you should, such la
bors protfiable, as they necessarily
must be in proportion to the increase in
average premium per thousand of insur
ance written.
“With best wishes for the future, 1
remain Yours very truly,

But to return to my trip. Land in
South Carolina sells at $40 to $60 per
acre. It is a fine farming section, with
about as much timber as we have in
Georgia. Next to farming, the princi
pal industry is the monoxide business.
The companies engaged in this busi
ness have bought or leased all the low
lands, and are working them. They
pay 1c. a pound for the monoxide sand.
I believe South Carolina is a better
State than Georgia. .1. If. Hyde.
