now in the Home must be fed and clothed and,
as far as possible educated. We cannot turn

little ones which comes to US from all parts OF
Georgia. The Home has thrown its doors wide
open and stands ready to aid every destitute
child in the state.

that no other charity among us does. and
work that is indispensable to the state and to
society. Most of the children at the Georgia In

CITY Clerk Wise will commence to make the
1905 assessment of city property next Monday
morning, and it is to be hoped that there will
not be as much kicking over this years valuation
