Instructions in China Painting.
^ Miss Pearl Solomon, of Jeffersonville,
Ga., who is with her sister, Mrs. W.
G. Huff, for the winter, will open a
class in China painting and living. Her
work is up to date, and exquisite in de
sign and execution, shoeing talent and
experience. She has had the best ad-
tages, having studied at three of the
best colleges in the State; received a
certificate, diploma and post graduate
certificate from Wesleyan College, af
terwards taking a teachers’ course un
der Mrs. J. C. Long, of the Art In
stitute, Chicago.
Miss Solomon has had experience as
a teacher of china painting, both she
and her pupils carrying off the blue
ribbons on their work wherever exhib
ited. She exhibited an exquisite
punch bowl at the State Fair at Macon,
where there were exhibits from all
parts of the State; —entered it for the
best piece in the whole display and re
ceived first premium. She also re
ceived all first premiums at the Twelfth
District Fair in Dublin for several
years. Miss Solomon will also do order
work, and have for sale pieces of hand-
painted china. Samples of her work
can be seen at the Murray Drug and
Book Store. All who are interested
call at 7 Temple avenue or ’phone 482.
The Park Completed.
Knowing the interest Newnan feels
in its civic improvements, it becomes a
pleasure to maintain the work recently
done on Central Park by the park com
mittee. At a recent meeting of the
Civic League Mrs. Mike Powell, chair
man of the parks committee, proposed
a series of entertainments to be given
by the ladies for the purpose of raising
funds for laying a cement walk 270 feet
long by 5 feet wide the entire length of
Central Park. The idea was carried
out enthusiastically, there being such a
spirit of hearty interest and co-opera
tion manifested by the ladies of the
league and other friends of the move
ment that the sum of $105 was quickly
realized. The president of the Central
of Georgia railway, Mr. W. A. Win-
burn, was sent a picture of the park,
showing the improvements already
made, and through him the railroad
gave $125. The City Council very gen
erously donated $25, which brought the
total to $255, the sum required to lay
the walk. So a work proposed at one
Civic League meeting was actually be
ing done at the next. Down the rail
road bank Dorothy Perkins roses are to
be planted, and an evergreen hedge be
low, thuB hiding the red clay of the em
bankment on the farther side. It is
hoped that the city will pave the side
walk at the upper end of the park, from
the bridge, comprising 20 feet. When
these improvements shall have been
made Central Park, completed, will be
one of the beautiful garden spots of
North Georgia- a monument to the un
tiring efforts of the parks committee and
its efficient chairman.
CapL Hash Exonerated.
Some months ago Luther Shaw, a ne
gro convict held in the county convict
camp, escaped. Later he was arrested
in Cincinnati and brought back to New
nan. He was found to be physically
unable to do the work required of him,
and was sent to the State Farm, where
he died. Relatives of the dead negro
thought he had been unmercifully pun
iahed in the convict camp, and they em
ployed lawyers to bring suit against the
county for damages. The case came
up for a hearing before the Prison Com
mission yesterday andCapt. S. S. Nash,
county warden, was completely exoner
ated. Speaking of the case the Atlanta
Journal of yesterday said:
“Following a full and exhaustive
hearing Wednesday, the State Prison
Commission exonerated S. S. Nash,
convict warden for Coweta county, of
the charges brought by relatives of
Luther Shaw, a negro convict, who
died at the State Prison Farm, it having
been alleged by Shaw’s relatives that
Nash had severely beaten the negro
prior to his removal to the prison.
“No one was present to press the
charges against Nash and no witness
appeared for the prosecution. On the
other hand, about fifty leading citizens
of Coweta county appeared and testi
fied to the kindly, humane and upright
character of Nash, and they brought
along,a petition signed by hundreds of
leading citizens, which petition also
bore testimony to Nash’s excellent
character.
"Several witnesses were introduced
by Nash who testified that Shaw, who
had escaped from the chaingang and
was brought back from Cincinnati,
where he had been captured, bore the
scars found on his body at the State
Prison Farm when he came back from
Cincinnati. Other witnesses swore that
Nash had not beaten Shaw at all.
"The evidence was so conclusively in
Nash’s favor that the commission
promptly dismissed the charges against
him and reinstated him in his job.”

intellect.

A Delightful Occasion.
Among the most enjoyable events
given in Newnan during the autumn
months was a week-end party at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. M. G. Keith, one
of Newnnn's most popular Couples.
The various functions planned for the
guests, (who were school girl friends
of the host and hostess,) were particu
larly pleasing. The interior of the home
was bright with roses, swaying ferns,
and beautiful chrysanthemums. Mrs.
Roy K. Power assisted her parents in
receiving their guests. Sumptuous
meals, served in true Southern style,
were enjoyed. Only those present could
know the hounding joy with which the
heart beat, and sweet memories of long
ago were revived. The guests wore
Mrs. Jeff Young and Mrs. Andy Bow
ers, Bexton; Mrs. Emma Couch, Luth
erville; Mrs. Mary Murphy, Moreland;
Mrs. R. M. North, Senoiu; Mrs, W. S.
McDonald. Sharpsburg; Mrs. Annie
Candler, Atlanta; Miss Mary Hunter,
Turin. A Guest.
Appropriate.
A distinguished theologian was In
vited to give an address before a
Sunday selmnl. The divine spoke for
over an hour, and his remarks were
too deep to comprehend. At tlio con
clusion the superintendent, according
to custom, requested some one In (ho
school to name an appropriate hymn
to lie siujp "Sing 'Revive Us Again,’"
shouted a boy in the roar of the room.
Many Uses for Cotton.
One hundred and eighty million
yards of cotton cloth carry cement
yearly to build Hie great oftleo build
ings. and the electrical industry of
H>e country yearly consumes four
hundred thousand pounds of cotton
in the insulation processes.

Epitaph Misinterpreted.
A neighbor's little daughter, after
looking lor some time at Shakes
peare's epitaph, which hung over the
professor’s fireplace, ran home. "Oh,
mamma!" she said, "the B s have
the strangest sign In their living
room. It says, ‘For God's sake don't
disturb the dust.' Boston Trans-
script.
Wanted a Sample.
“Your honor," said the foreman of
the jury, "this body is suing this gent
for $10,000 for a stolen kiss." “Cor
rect." responded the judge. "You are
to decide it' it was worth It." "That’s
the point, your honor. Could (he jury
have a sample?”
Fireproof Wood.
To make wood fireproof, slake a
small quantity of fresh lime and add
water till it tins the consistency of
cream, stir well and add one pound of
alum, 12 ounces of commercial potash
and about one pound of salt. Stir
again and apply while hot. Two or
three coats will keep wood fireproof
for many months.
Almost Perfect Ideal.
A faithful friend of all that is best,
a brave sufferer from Incurable bur
dens, in a private letter sends Ibis con
fession, which we commend to those
more favored of circumstances, less
consecrnled in the center-stances of
life: “My ideal is every day to spread
a little truth, a little kindness, a little
beauty, but alas, how often 1 fail!”
Avoid Despair.
If we are to escape the grip of de
spair, wrote Amici, we must believe
either that the whole of things at least
is good, or that grief is a fatherly
grace, a purifying ordeal.
Wanted "Nice, Dirty Mother."
When Edward was five years old he
Played with it hoy named Adolph. One
muddy tiny they tried to run across

I chased them out and afterwards
