Portraits ot Illustrious
Georgians For Schools
Statewide interest has been evi
denced in the 16 portraits of illustri
ous Georgians by the noted Atlanta
artist, Lewis C. Gregg, and following
a veritable deluge of requests of-li
brarians and educators that the paint
ings be made available to schools and
other institutions, the officers of the
Trust Company of Georgia, in Atlan
ta, where the originnls are hung, de
cided to reproduce the entire collec
tion in a striding monotone print 20
by 24 inches and offer it framed un
der glass as a gift to institutions.
One of the beautiful reproductions
has been presented to the Toomsboro
High School, The Wilkinson Countv
High School, and the Gordon Hi«h
School.
The State has just cause for the
priee with which she points to her
gifted sons and daughters. They
have contributed much to the enact
ment of her glorious pageant of his
tory. Through the corridors ot im
mortality stride an assemblage of
Georgians the equal of which can be
boasted by but few commonwealths.
Hung on the walls of the banking
institution at the suggestion of Mrs
T. K. Glenn, wife of Thomas K.
Glenn, president of the Trust Com
pany, the original paintings of illus
trious Georgians are considered to be
among the best existing likenesses of
the men and women they depict.
The central portrait of the group
replica, appropriately enough, con
tains the likenesses of Button Gwin
nett, George V' alton and Lyman
Hall, the Georgians who signed the
Declaration of Independence.
Grouped around this painting in
tasteful array are reproductions of the
paintings of General James Edwa d
Oglethorpe. founder of the colony;
William Harris Crawford. United
States treasurer, and ambassador to
the court of Napoleon; Rebecca Lat
imer Felton, the first woman to be
come a United States senator; Tomo

Mr Fountain Writes
Ot Washington Trip
I wish to thank each of you that
made my trip to Washington. D. C.,
possible.
While I was there, President
Roosevelt assured we farmers that
the program which we now have will
be continued until there is a better
plan proposed.
He also assured us that he was be
hind the farmers of the country and
and that he would continue his plans
until all the farmers receive Ja square
deal.
Congressman Vinson, in his speech
to the Georgia delegation, said that
more had been accomplished in one
day by the Farmers’ inarch to Wash
ington than any movement made by
- farmers during the twenty-one
years he has been there.
Again, I want to express my appre
ciation for your cooperation in mak
ing my trip possible.
