The above announcement will be

Longino is a grand-daughter of the
late J. C. Thompson and has many
friends and admirers in Newiian,
being a young woman of splendid
intellect and character.
\ Eire we leave ETorence we would
like to tell our readers somewhat
of Michael Angelo’s wondeiful
“representation in marble of the
young David. The shepherd boy
stands with firm foothold,the stone
grasped tightly in his right hand,
ready to be sped on its holy er
rand. When the statue was un
veiled, 350 years ago, it caused an
unparalleled sensation among all
-lovers of art. The work is indeed
a marvellous piece of sculpture.
But the strangely winning thing
in the story of that statue is that
it was the stone’s second chance.
A sculptor began woik on a noble
piece of marble, but, lacking skill,
he only hacked and marred the
bleck. It was then abandoned as
spoiled and worthless, and cast
aside. For years it lay in a back
yard, soiled and blackened, half-
hidden among the rubbish. At
last Angelo saw it, and at once
perceived its possibilities. Under
ftis skillful hand the Stone was cut
into the fair and marvellous beauty
jvhich appears in the statue of
^ David. In a like manner, when a
ijfe has been spoiled by unscrupul-
tus hands, so that it seems as it all
yere lost, there is One, the Great
Iculptor, who can take the mar-
ed, disfigured block, now lying
oiled amid the world’s rubbish,
ad from it carve yet a marvel of
tauty.”
Further, as Michael Angelo was
twing out of marble that heroic
atue of David (now standing in
in music upon the sands of time,
and cheering the hearts of those
who are pilgrims and strangers
along the way; yes, we need to
look—out, beyond this low earth,
and to build higher in our thoughts
and actions, even here!”)
On arrival at the railway station,
on the end of a long and appar
ently narrow neck of land, we
walked out a little way to the dock,
and there took a gondola, which,
like all of them now, was jet black;
and, in charge of one boatman,
called a gondolier, were rowed
over grassy-green water-channels,
between rows upon rows of stone
buildings built on piles, to the
Hotel Monico, finely located for a
view of the Grand Canal ot Venice.
From the few islands originally
formed in the midst of a broad
lagoon by the discharging waters
of six rivers flowing from the Alps
and the Tyrol into the Adriatic,
man’s enterprise did battle with
these streams, the marshes, and
the ocean, sinking forests of piles
to hold the shifting land together,
“huts giving way to marble pal
aces, and the group of desolate
islands, stolen from the sea, was
converted into one of the chief
cities in the world,” over which
spreads out “a sky ot azure bright
ness like a gorgeous ceiling." The
centre of the group of islands was
Eialto, which finally became the
City of Venice (from its first oc
cupants, the Veneti). Here one
sees the marshes drained, the
rivers banked, the islands connect
ed with bridges, canals made and
preserved, Truly it is the Queen
of the Adriatic:

TO THOSE WHO ARE HOT BUT
OUGHT TO BE READERS
OF THE HEWS:
Sometimes sample copies of Thk Nkwh are mailed to
persons who are not swlmcribers of this paper. Of course this
is an invitation to subscribe; anti we take this method of letting
people unacquainted with Thk Nkwh read a few copies in order
to determine if they wish to become permanent readers.
Every sample copy of Thk Nkwh mailed has the words,
“Sample Copy” printed at the top of first page in bold type.
No person is expected to or can be made to pay for sample
copies of a newspaper. Therefore, any person may, with per
fect propriety and freedom, receive from a postofliee or carrier
sample copies of Thk Ni;wh, with the assurance that they will
never be asked to pay for them.
Tiik Nkwh trusts all persons receiving sample copies
will give them careful consideration. It is unfair to condemn
Thk Nkwh without a hearing (or, ;t reading) and we feel sure
but very few people in Goweta county are so narrow-minded
and prejudiced as to be unwilling to read a few sample copies of
this paper.
Thk Nkwh seeks patronage on its merits as a newspaper.
II neither panders to prejudice nor bows to puerility. I t neither
fears to approve-right nor to condemn wrong. It proposes to
meet all men and all issues in a spirit of candor, fairness and
courtesy; but it does not propose to be a trimmer or a dodger,
nor to veil its attitude on any question with a multitude of idle
words. Tiik Nkwh hits straight from the shoulder and ex
presses its sentiments in the plainest English at its command.
These are a few words in reference to the principles con
trolling the conduct of Thk Nkwh.
in addition to these things, Thk Nkwh prints the news
of Goweta county with impartiality; and as it desires to excell
shall endeavor as the days go by to print more news than any
other county paper and to give the people the best service ob
tainable in a county paper.
This we regard as a laudable ambition; and have no apol
ogies to make for possessing that spirit or being guided by its
inspiration.
Finally, all Thk Nkwh asks is that persons who receive
sample copies will examine them in a spirit of fairness, and
render an unprejudiced verdict as to this paper’s merits and its
claims for patronage. If all will do this, Thk Nkwh will liesatiH-
fied with their verdict, whether it is favorable or unfavorable to
this paper.
