the Georgia Institute School of Art and
Design. In 1889 she leased rooms from E.
+. Gould, the defendant, in the Gould
building on Decatur street. The least was
to expire April 80, 1890, but it was stipu-
lated that she should have the privilege Of
renewing the same indefinitely. At great
expense and trouble the petitioner fitted up
the apartments REALISTICALLY and appro-
priately" and advertised for art pupils.
A FLoURIsHING BUSINESS.
She laid the foundation for fiourishing
business. Her expenses amounted to 81 ,000
She commenced giving lessons and received
lady students of culture and refinement.
Her returns were $500 per month up to the
middle of April, when she was compelled TO
vacate the rooms on account of the conduct
of the defendant. Mrs. Hall charges that the
defendant on March 1 and on divers days
and times before that day and since, used
i'm said building, and near the rooms and
studio of the petitioner, rooms for iewd pur
poses, and did then and there keep and
maintain a woman of lewd and bad char
acter in said room, and the said defendant
slept in the said room with the said woman.
A GAY LoTHARIo.

maintained other women of lewd and bad
character on another floor In said building,
by means whereof your petitioner was
Inundated and insulted and outraged in her
feelings, and which became and was public,
and by reason of which the said business
and school of your petitioner was broken up
and your petitioner was compelled to
vacate said rooms and building to the dam
age of your petitioner $4,000. Your petit
fioner further shows that the said defendant,
on the first day Of March, A D., 1890, and

and without authority, entered to
the private room of your petitio ner

Marietta says that the white and black
grand army veterans did not work comfort
ably in harness on Memorial day, when the
graves of the federal soldiers were deco
rated at the National cemetery. The negroes.
1t seems, were not suffered to march in line
with the whites, and were at first refused
admittance TO the cemetery. The grand
army men are reported as saying that it
is their white comrades who are buried there.
and the negroes have nothing to do with
the matter. One federal veteran said he
wished all the negroes in the south would
join the Democratic party and make it
odious, and then the white people could
build up a respectable Republican party in
the south.
