1 \ \ fierald and ttdwrtiser. 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.

POTTS & PARKS “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.

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.
