A Fine Showing.
The graduating exercises of the City
Public Schools Friday evening of last
week were largely attended at the
court house. The program was one of
interest and the graduates acquitted
themselves nicely. The speeches of
the boys and the essays of the girls
elicited high praise from all who heard
them. Everybody is highly gratified
at the work done by the city public
schools, and the credit is due Prof. J.
W. Marion and his efficient corps of
teachers for the splendid showing made
by the graduates last week.
The people of the city feel prouder of
their public school system today than
they ever felt before. Good work is
being done and it is the belief of those
interested that the system will grow
greater and better each year.

Block of Brick Buildings.
The entire block of buildings on
South Bradford street which were
burned the 11th. instant will be rebuilt
of brick.
Already the ice factory building is
nearing comrletion, and work has been
commenced on the others. The build
ings are being replaced by Prior &
Mundy, W. R, Canning & Bro., and
Mrs. J. R. Taornton, to whom the cor-
rugatep iron buildings which were des
troyed by fire, belonged.
All of the building will be one story
except the one for the ice plant, part of
which will be two stories high. The
new brick buildings will add materially
to the appearance of the street on
which they are to be located. They
will be used for the same purpose for
which they were used before they were
burned.

Said.
Company is completing arrangements
to move to Atlanta. The deal has been
on foot for sometime, and has now
about come to a head.
Mr. John A. Smith, president of the
company, states that the plant will be,
run here until October first, to fill all
orders now on hand and those that
may come in between now and that
time. On October first the shoe facto
ry will be moved to Atlanta, and a
new company will be formed to oper

gives the reasons for the . removal of
the plant to Atlanta as being the ad
vantages gained by better freight rates
and the better facilities for the distri

inducements offered by Atlanta were
advantageous and it was not thought
wise to pass them by. As stated above
