Secretary of State Seeks New State Seal for Georgia
Atlanta January 28 Following his usual custom Secretary of State Philip Cook will urge the legislature to provide a new great seal for Georgia. The current seal, in use for about a century and a quarter, shows little discernible design. Samples from 110 to 120 years ago sit in Cook's office as curiosities. The old seal was wax, about the size of a breakfast plate, trimmed down after a joke by Nathan Barnett, secretary of state for 44 years before the war. Barnett cut wax purchases, lowering expenses from 3.75 to 2.25, a patriotic effort that went unthanked and soon forgotten.
