Description Of Lobby.
The mural paintings Of the lobby
of the Hotel Ansley consists of three
large striking paintings on tapestry

the Indians in their gala blankets.
Next to this the center panel is
shown John Wesley teaching the In
dams under the oaks of st. Simons;
the landscape background being paint
ed in mellow warm colors with pleas
ing effect.
The third panel represents the burn
ing of the Yazoo fraud papers at the
state house in Louisville, Jefferson
county, Georgia, in the year 1896. The
papers were ignited by the means OF
a magnifying glass and the suns rays,
showing that the fire that destroyed
such an infamy should come from
heaven.

between the Carara marble walnscote

tapestry four feet six inches hlgh,
