McCLATCHEY, Candler Building, ATLANTA, GA. % 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.. Props., Butfalo, N, Y. 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.
