For three years past she has been taking a course of study under one of the best kindergartners in the South. Fortunate indeed will be the little ones who come under her skillful and gentile guidance. Special Notice --- The firm of I. N. Orr & Co. having been dissolved, it is absolutely necessary to make settlement of all outstanding notes and accounts. I will at once, assisted by members of the new firm, wind up the old business. All parties interested will please call without further notice, thereby causing no delay or trouble to us or you in closing up the business of the old firm. I. N. Orr. Since the Southern Mutual Building and Loan Associates of Atlanta went into liquidation holders of stock in other building and loan concerns have become panic-stricken, and are daily making applications for withdrawal. One citizen of Newnan, who had stock in three or four different associations, (the Southern Mutual included,) has filed notice of withdrawal with all of them. Numerous holders of building and loan stock have followed his example, and others are preparing to do so. The failure of the Southern Mutual Building and Loan Association of Atlanta, whose affairs were placed in the hands of a receiver on Saturday last, has hurt a greater number of people than any business collapse that has occurred in Georgia for a long while. Fully $10,000 of the stock is held in Newnan, and nearly every town in the State has been caught for larger of smaller amounts. It is quite apparent that there has been gross mismanagement somewhere, and the guilty ones should be made to suffer. Following is a list of the jurors drawn for the April (quarterly) term of the City Court, to-wit: A J Arnold, A P Camp, W G Camp, J M Couch, James Cureton, J T Duke, H L Freeman, J M Glass, C D Grimes, J T Haney, C J Harris, J W Higgins, G P Hodnett, W B Holmes, R B Hunter, Lee Jacobs, J J Keith, A H Lang, W H Ledbetter, H T Lewis, J F Lovejoy, W D Lovelady, J L McKoy, I H Meadows, C F Meyer, W H Miller, J P Morgan, W H Osburn, M A Shields, T F Sibley.
