Miss Edna Smith is displaying her in- teresting portrait of Mrs. Truman Aldrici, Jr., today continuing the exhibition be- gun yesterday. and she again extends a general invitation, not only to her friends and patrons, but to the strangers who are in the city. The portrait is doubly in- teresting, because of it's subject, who is the center of pride and praise among Bir- mingham people this week, and because of it's painter, who is herself a young woman of unusual and interesting per- sonaity. H'f
 The portrait which unlike the other work which Miss Smith has exhibited from time to time, Is done in pastel, is an exceptionally fine likeness The art ist calls it merely a portrait sketch" " not caring to dignify it by so important an appellation as portrait" It expresses much, this sketch. The temperament of the artist who painted 1t and of the artiste who sat for 1t. Miss Smith has, through her intimate study of the remark ble personality of the woman she has painted, produced picture which, in the o,d-fashioned term, is a speaking like ness" In the handling of her colors she has also demonstrated marked skill, h. deed, she has made an interesting study of a most interesting woman. Both her friends and those of Mrs. Aldrich will be pleased with it.

August Jaedicke, Jr., president
of the Hanover Telephone Co.,
is an enthusiastic good roads
booster. and takes original meth
DDS to impress the people Of his
vicinity with his ideas along that
line.
Recently he issued invitations
to fifty prominent business men
and farmers, inviting them to a
banquet which he gave at his
own expense. After the banquet
was over, he surprised the guests,
who uD to that time did not
know the cause Of their being as
sembled, by launching forth into
q good roads talk, When he had
concluded, he called on others for
an expression of their opinion,
and at the conclusion of the even
ing's meeting, an organized effort
was the result for the betterment
of all roads leading into the city
of Hanover.
Wonder if a meeting of this
character would not do. some
thing 70 stimulate a little activ-
ity along this line in some of the
localities in this county,.
