business! I know you are awfully sorry; dreadfully so, but I HAVE
business, my friends, and my rapid fire delivery system on the road

would be inconvenient if not impracticable, so as much as I regret it, and
as much as it will pain you, I must quit, and QUIT NOW.
Within sixty days my doors will be closed.

My entire stock, which is the prettiest line of fancy groceries ever car

% MOTHER.
She never touched, with skillful brush, the canvas
And left a picture that the world might praise;
Or. with inspired fingers on the keyboard.
Sent down with eyes tear-stained, yet looking
upward,
With smiling almost to the vale of shadows
To bring a little new-born soul from God.
She never sang a song of joy or sadness
In clear, sweet tones to make us smile or weep;
Her voice too weak to win the world’s approval,
Was only good to hush a babe to sleep;
She never penned a book whose glowing pages
Might lift us up and help us in the fight.
But day by day, she sought with loving patience
To guide two little stumbling feet aright.
And yet. mayhap, when at the gate of heaven
She paused, God looked at her and smiled;
With hand outstretched. His kind voice spoke a
welcome
To her. the Mother of a little child.
Annual Report of Newnan Civic
League.
During the year 46 names have been
added to the membership. However,
this does not show the numerical in
crease we’d like, since several have
dropped out, from moving away, death
and other causes; still our enrollment
is now 121.
At each monthly meeting the pro
gram has been in charge of one of the
chairmen of committees. These pro
grams have been varied and interest
ing, and have largely increased the
regular attendance. Miss Celeste Par
rish was secured for a forceful lecture
at the February meeting. For March,
a reading of “War Brides” was given
by local talent, the other chairmen
specializing generally on their respec
tive lines of committee work.
Early in the summer of 1915,
through the efforts of our membership,
a Chautauqua waB conducted.
Baby Week was observed April 5.
“Baby Sanday” was made a special
feature. Wednesday a program on the
subject was given. Friday was to have
witnessed a grand parade, but the in
clement weather prevented. The co
operation of the local press, announce
ment of its importance from the pulpits
and by placards, leaflets, badges and
banners, aroused a community interest.
At our request the negroes also ob
served "Baby Week” very creditably.
The Junior Department has 430 mem
bers. The teacherB of the lower grades
have brought before the children spe
cially arranged monthly programs on
the care of birds, csre of school
grounds, comparative attraction of
well-attended and unattended sec
tions, and civic cleanliness. Censored
| pictures for children sre provided
! weekly in one of the picture houses
I through the efforts of this department.
The school grounds committee has
provided Victrola records, arranged
window boxes, kept hedges pruned,
had terraces graded and sodded, and,
through a successful presentation of
local minstrelsy talent, has now on
hand $67.75, part of which it is pro
posed to use,in beautifying the grounds
of the new high school building.
Through a book shower and other
wise the settlement committee received
for Murray street school about 100 vol
umes, of which 75 were added to the
library. Seven hundred and fifty books
from the library were read during the
year. From a sale of waste paper and
a friend’s contribution $47.20 was real
ized, part of which was used for Vic
trola records, for school materials for
needy children, for making 25 bird
boxes to be placed in the parks, and
for teaching the girls candy-making.
The balance will go to buy books for
the library.
The literary section, with a member
ship of 24, meets bi-monthly, and is one
of the most wide-awakedepartments of
the league. They have completed the
Southern authors, begun last year, be
fore taking up the American authors
chronologically for the year’s work.
Twice instructive reviews of the Eu
ropean war have been given. The ter
centenary of the death of ShakeBpeare
was observed in a most fitting manner.
Co-operating with the city, our Civic
League cemetery committee has on
foot plans for the erection of a commo
dious chapel on a lot the city has
set aside for this purpose.
The parks committee has completed
Central Park by the laying of a cement
walk the entire length, 070 feet, at a
cost of $288. Of thiB sum the Central
of Georgia railway donated $125 and
the City Council $26. From a aeries of
unique entertainments $107.00 was real
ized. The railroad embankment adja
cent to the park is being covered by
hedgeB of privet, Dorothy Perkins
roses, crepe myrtle, mountain laurel
and vines.
Through the sanitary committee one
wagon yard was fitted up by the city,
and another secured, for the use of
country people. “Clean Up Week”
was observed, circulars were distribu
ted, Btore windows displayed placards,
and the local press printed plans and
schedules for garbage wagons, which
were sent throughout the city, even in
the negro district.
The corresponding secretary report
ed that 35 letters and cards had been
written.
Red Cross seals to the amount of
$9.85 were sold for the holidays.
A donation of $10 was made to Tal
lulah Falls school.
Our treasurer has brought up her
collections in full.
During the year, including a moder
ate balance from the preceding year,
the sum of $528.13 haB come into our
handB, the greater Dart of which has
been disbursed.
Through the aid of the mayor and
board of aldermen have many of our
results been accomplished.
The constant and effective co-opera
tion of the officers and chairmen of the
various committees and of the mem
bership at large is gratefully acknowl
edged, and whatever success the Civic
League has enjoyed iB but the reward
of their efforts.
Mrs, W, G. Post,
President Newnan Civic League.
A child should bo made to feel that
hiB home is indeed a home, the happiest
place in the world—not merely an out
ward shelter and a reBting-place, but a
center of enjoyment, sanctified and
purified by love, the thought and re-
memberance of which should be the
safeguard of his life as he goes forth
to the world, giving strength and pro
portion to his character.
INDORSED AT HOME.
Such Proof as This Should Convince
Any Newnan Citizen.
The public endorsement of a local
citizen is the best proof that can be
produced. None better, none stronger
can be had. When a man comes for
ward and testifies to his fellow-citizens,
addresses his friends and neighbors,
you may be sure he is thoroughly con
vinced or he would not do so. Telling
one's experience when it is for the pub
lic good is an act of kindness that
should be appreciated. The following
statement given by a resident of New
nan adds one more to the many cases
of Horne Endorsement which are being
published about Doan's Kidney Pills.
Read it;
T. C. Cook. 17 Carmichael St., New
nan, says: “A spell of Grippe weak
ened my kidneys and 1 suffered from
a constant ache in the small of my
back. When I moved or tried to get
up, I felt as if my back was breaking
in two. I could not bend, I was so
sore and lame. My sight became
blurred and objects floated before rny
eyes. Doan’s Kidney Pills, procured
at John R. Cates Drug Co., cured me.”
Price 50, at all dealers. Don’t sim
ply ask for u kidney remedy — get
Doan’s K*dney Pills — the same thBt
Mr. Cook had. Foster-Mil burn Co..

Lyons Progress: “The Macon Tele
graph gets out of tune with its old self
when it tries to belittle Hugh Dorsey
as a candidate for Governor because his
law firm is counsel for the L. & N.
railroad in Home special litigation. The
present Governor was attorney for a
railroad before ho announced last yeart
and The Telegraph found no fault with
him because of that fact. The Pro
gress hus it from good authority that
Mr. Dorsey has never represented the
L. & N. railroad; yet if he was attorney
for that great coporation it would be a
high compliment to him. It is true
that the law firm of Dorsey, Brewster,
Howell & Heyman represent the L. &
N. as special attorneys. The Dorsey
name in this firm comes from the fact
that Hugh Dorsey’s father was the
Henior member years ago, before the
solicitor ever thought of practicing
law. It is also true that the present
Dorsey, over whoso candidacy for Gov
ernor the good old Telegraph is having
fits, was connected with this law firm
before he was elected Solicitor-Gener
al, but Bince his election to that office
he has had no connection with its prac
tice.”
How Mrs. Harrod Got Rid of Her
Stomach Trouble.
“I Buffered with stomach trouble for
years and tried everything I heard of.
but the only relief I got was temporary
until last spring I saw Chamberlain's
Tablets advertised and procured a bot
tle of them at our drug store. I got
immediate relief from that dreadful
heaviness after eating and from pain
in the stomach,” writes Mrs. Linna
Harrod, Fort Wayne, Ind. Obtainable
everywhere.
The doctor stood at the bedside of
the nick man and said:
“Yes, I’m pretty sure I can cure you.”
“What will be your charge?”
“Probably in the neighborhood of
one hundred dollars.”
The man rolled over with a groan and
faintly replied: “You’ll have to shade
that price considerably. I have a much
better bid than that from the under
taker.”
Is all paint—no adulteration whatever,
costs no more per gallon and MUCH
LESS per job than the other kinds.
Try it and you will use no other.
Ask Your Dealer.
