II rs. Mary Cofer, au aged and most;
worthy lady of Morgan county, was

Brof. Brittian, of our female col
started a class in French at that
*wiapular inatitutioii last week, and we
learn the young lady pupils are de
lighted with the study. I’rof. Brit
tain is fully competent to teach this
language, having taken two couret's,
one under an American teacher of
note, and then a more thorough
aoM&c under a French teacher. •
The following item from the Henry
County News shows that Col. Norris
Hale is in good health and fine hu -
mar once more : '-‘■Brother Si. Haw
kins is bragging about Covington’s
pretty widows. f*i is so doggoned ug
ly himself that he can write whatever
he mav please about the ladies and
hare no fears about going home. —
Not so with we handsome fellows.”
A military company has been or
ganized in Madison with Col. E. \\ .
Butler as Captain. This reminds us
that it is alx u tlie seajou of the year
forrCovington to ‘organize’ a military
company, as it has been customary to
organize one every spring /or the past
twenty years. In ease we ever have
another tire a meeting will be called
aud one or inure fire companies also
“organized.”
It will lie seen tle.it Messrs. Owens <
AW arren have opened a first-class
family grocery in this city. Alsu a
liverv and sale stable. Also a restau
rant and meat and vegetable market.
All their goods are new and tbeir pri
cesare very low. They deliver free
ot post to the purchaser, all goods
bought from them. When you come
to town drop in and, see them. In
the meanwhile read their advertise
ment elsewhere.
. Thursdiy next, March 24th,
R. JW. Bagby will close his saloon
Now, all who want liquor, for medical
purposes, should lay in a supply .at
once. Next week will lie court week
and no doubt the saloon will lie crowd
ed with orders, and the sooner spirits
is purchased, for medical puposcs, the
better. After prohibition goefe into
effect it will be almost impossible to
get liquor without sending off for it,
0B the friends of the law will do all in
their power to prevent any "blind ti
gering” here.
Stephen Clark, colored, was'way
laid and robbed, on the roadside near
the railroad one night last week. The
thief got something over a dollar
from Steve, but if he had been in pos
session of a thousand dollars it would
have been the same. A negro by the
name of W.lliam Mitchell is in jail
charged with the crime, but says he
can prove an alibi. As the case will
be tried iu a few days we withhold
comment further than to sav if the
party arrested did attempt to roh :so
worthy an old man as Steve we hope
the law will make him suffer severely
for it.
Kow that the fence question, the
liquor question anil other local issues
that have divided the white people of
the county have been disposed of and
are are at peace with each other once
snore, it behooves the Democratic
fMrty of Newton county to steer clear
of.any other division in it* now solid
ranks, especially should we retain our
aojidity' until after the trying elec
lions which will come off in 1888 and
tn January of 1889, We must be
kind and generous, liberal and just to
ach other, and in ease one political
brother is pitted against another in
our local elections no heart-burnings
or ill-feelings should I* .cherished af
ter the contest is ended. It is not
the part of wisdom to encourage the
or ruin” policy which has torn
j'Jfeimder the party in so many of our
tester counties. If wc have nomina
tions, let u, each and all, stand by
Our nominees and support them, to a
man, in the general election. Let us
■oOt drag from the silent grave the
bitterness and uiscord of a turbulent
past, hut let us turn our eyes to the
glorious future and work in harmo
nious unity for the peace, the welfare
jud prosperity of our grand and glo-
Jfijoiis old couuty-

1 I. \V. J,” has dedicated a forty
line original prohibition poem to "Si
Haw kins,” and had it published in
the Henry County Weekly. What
have we done that the spring poet
should get after us before the winds
of March had ceased to howl? How
ever, the poetry is “fair to middling"
and had we tire space to spare would
re-publish it entire in these columns.
Here is the first verse :
“Fill the tickler no more
For I never before
Felt the glow that now gladdens
My heart to its core ;
Drink no more; who would?
Since temperance folks abound,
And in the tickler alone
deception is found.”

Hon. A. Ik Simms spent a day or
two or last week in Madison attend
ing Morgan superior court. As it is
the ordc of the day to name typical
Americans we take pride iu saving j
that we consider Col. Simms a “typi-,
eul” Southern gentleman whose lofty .
integrity, strict honesty and open
handed generosity makes the world
better because lie has lived in it. liis
good deeds and pure life will lie a rich
legacy to his family, his friends Mid
his people, when lie is gone. We
only make mention of our most noble
fellow citizen to let him kliojv, while
yet alive, how lie is regarded by the
community in which lie lives, for the
brief words we have penned are true,
a fact all wild know him will take
pleasure in certifying to. Let us not
wait until a good man dies before we
acknowledge his worth and. hear will
ing testimony to liis virtue.
Our 82.000 iron bridge and 81.200
town cluck was paid for by the city of
Covington, and did not eost the over
burdened tax payer* of the county a
cent. Sliouhl a few more wells lie
dug on the square and a neat lattice
work summer house erected in the
park, no part of the “poll tax’* will
he used to pay for the same.. This he
ing true a large amount of opposition
to public improvements will probably
lie quieted. The man who only pays
poll tax has a right to “kick” against
having jiis money used to pay, for
bridges, clocks, wells, public- build
ings, etc. Being only a “poll tax
payer ourself, we know how it grinds
11 the quick when an effort is Inade
to use til's sacred dollar fV-exjiravn
gaiit purposes. Fottupat-ch- rlfp law
provides how this tax shall only bi
ased for so-called education purposes,
aud, for one, we are getting powerful
tired of seeing it squandered through
this humbugging channel.
On Friday last Mr. J. W. Turner,
of Jasper county, while returning to
iis home with a load of guano was
thrown from a wagon, receiving fatal
injuries. Four miles from this city,
on the Moiiticello road, his team was
going down a steep hill when the
tongue of his wagon broke, which
frightened the mules, and they im
mediately dashed forward, and while
endeavoring to hold them Mr. Tur
ner was thrown out and the wagon
ran over him, mangling his body ter
ribly. He was carried to the resi
dence of Mrs. Joseph Anderson, and
there he lingered until Saturday mor
ning, when he died. Dr. J. (J. An
derson did all iu his power to relieve
his sufiering and to save his life, but
it was impossible for medical skill to
ward off the angel of death. Mr.
Turner leaves a family and- many' true
friends to morn his departure. He
was a good man. Peace to his mem
ory. His unfortunate death will ear
ry sorrow to the hearts of all who
knew him.
Mis. Dr. T. N. Pitts, of the de
servedly popular Pitts House, is visi
ting relatives and friends in Augusta
and Hephzibuh, Ga. Miss Lena Pitts
is looking after the culinary depart
ment during her mother’s absence,
taking needed rest. The “Drummer
boys” ami other guests of the hotel
say Miss Lena has been an apt stu
dent in taking lessons from her good
mother in the “kitchen depart)ttpntf,' 1 -
and that she spreads a most exejellept
table, equaling, if not suppassitig bv*
mother, if this be possible, and judg
ing from the large number of hand
some “drummer boys” and pleasant
faced visitors seen about the hotel at
all times we take it as sure evidence
that there must be a magnet about
the house somewhere. It may be the
royal manner in which the Doctor en
tertains his guests, or it may he the
fine cooking and fair face of his love
]y daughter that throws around the
place “a charm we can’t explain.”
Of course we wish for Mrs. Pitts as
pleasant and delightful a time during
her sojourn abroad as her gallant, it
j not gay and festive husband, appears
to be having at home.
