Negro Boy Sentenced for Life.
Johnson Flanagan, who was last
week convicted for murder in the homi
cide of Willie Jackson, was sentenced
to the pententiary for and during the
term of his natural life. An unusual
leature about this case is the fact that
one grand jury had failed to find a
true bill in the case at a former term,
but the boy was subsequently indicted |
for the capital offense, and, as stated ‘
last week, convicted. A motion for|
new trial has been filed, which will l)e'

Use of Portland Cement.
The use of cement for building and

of stone in the southern country. The
fact this commodity is being manu

Georgia accounts in a large measure
for the growing demand. It is being
made at several large plants near

It cost millions of dollars, and thirty- |
five years time in work, to prove con
clusively that scientifically made,
paint, is superior to the old method of
making paint by hand mixing with a
stick in a pot; a few gallons at a time.
The L. & M. Paint is scientifically
made by machinery with only the
finest White Zinc and White lead
made from metal, and purest Linseed
Oil. Its use saves costly labor, and
the many millions of gallons used
throughout the United States proves
it. Sold by Jesse N. Gantt, Marietta,

To Righteousness of
Verdict.
In the case of The State va. David
Howaid, a white man, tried last week
in the Superior Court for a misdemen
nor, the jury returned a verdiet of not
guilty. Judge Morris evidently thought
the evidence justified a different find
ing, and did not hesitate to tell them,
“Gentlemen, I do not see how you
could have brought in a verdict like
that.”’ The members of the jury for
the most part aceepted the g(iticism
good naturedly.
