recently realized for an acre of land
indicates that in the matter of war
time prices of real estate history has
repeated itself very quickly. The

near the site of the old depot to this
lot near Mr.. Quarles' residence.

Miss Eliza Minis Paints Mas
terpiece.

Miss Eliza Minis has recently fin
ished portrait which must be called
her masterpiece. This is wonderful
likeness of Jefferson Davis, president
of the Confederacy. The portrait was
an order from Mrs. Perdue of At
lanta, President of the U. D. c. of
that city. On the expiration of her
term of office, she desired to present
to the museum there, portrait of
Jefferson Davis. She said that she
felt that this hero of the Confeder-
acy had been neglected in the MEM
ory of the Southern people, COM
pared with other Southern heroes,
and she wished to present this por
trait as a reminder which in this
case will be very striking one. The
picture from which this was painted
was taken in Mr.. Davis palmiest
days when perhaps, he was a distin-
guished member of the United States
Senate before the war. To look at
it is an inspiration.
Such portrait of him should be
in every Confederate museum in our
land. Miss Minis. should be warmly
congratulated on her splendid work
and the U. D. C. of Atlanta on the
newly acquired possession.
