From Florence (Firenze) to Venice (Venezia). tance of Venice is gained from the following brief resume of its chief events and personages: “The briefest catalogue of events which have rendered celebrated the name of Venice would demand a volume.

Mr. and Mrs. J. II. Longino an nounce the engagement of their daughter, Annie Lois, to ltev. Charles Merrill Liphatn, of Fair- burn. The marriage will take place I ieeembor 20.—Atlanta Jour nal . The above announcement will be read with interest by the friends of Miss Longino in this city. Miss 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: “White phantom city, whose untrodden streets Are rivers, and whose pavements aro the shifting Croup.

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. Try us for Job Printing. ;
