turning to his keepers, said he did not

“I Hops it Ends Soon."

Mrs. Holman, It I* asserted, le actu

was Indebted for much money and
practically the support of the family.

With Open Eyes,
Calhoun Street School came to see
The Ueorglan Friday. The visit had
been delayed two weeks by weather
conditions, but there was no Ice on the
sidewalks this week and no further
delay.
Like all the youthful visitors to The
Oeorglan'e modern printing plant, their
hlef Intereel was found In the ma-
htnery. not In the prosaic work of
writing the news. It was the clicking
linotype, the rapid moving, almost hu
man piece of mechanism, that drew
their attention first. After that It was
the work "on the forma," where the
make-up men placed the newly cast
type In position for the pages, then It
was the stereotyping room end the
press room. The great (loss press was
perhaps the most Interesting of all,
with Its whirling cylinders and flying
rolls of white paper being converted

One thing that struck the older vis

That was the old way. I'nder the
