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.” The tall man is occasionally short on intellect.

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.

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.
