We accidentally got tbe word ‘De
cember’ where it should have been
'March’ in an item last week. Our!
attention has liecu repeatedly called
to this error. In the same column
we appealed lustily for subscribers in
arrears to pay for their paper. It
appears as if the public overlooked
thia last item. Such is life.
W. B. Lee, of Covington, is get

The nau or woman who grumbles
about everything and especially about
the scarcity of sensational news in tbe
local paper would raise “hail Colum
bia” if the editor should put in print
all the gossip that is in circulation
about him or her. Wherever you
End a chronic grumbler you ean safe
ly bet there is but little peace and no
happiness in that household.
IN AND AROUND THE CITY.
Which Nay sr Nay Not latsrsst You.
They talk about a woman's sphere,
i As though it hud a limit;
There’s not a place in earth or heaven,
There's not a task of mankind given,
There's not a blessing or u woe,
There's not ii whisper, yes or no,
There’s not a lile, or death, or birth,
That has a leather’s weight of worth,
Without a woman in it.

A live, progressive town ought to

pany. Covington is not dead, but
sleeping—Dry goods, crockery etc ,

We do not believe that the people
of Newton county desire to lie taxed
any higher, at this time, to pay off
the court house or any other debt
against the county. We already pay
a special tax for this purpose which
is a sufficient burden just now.
There was an agent here the other

He failed to make a sale. At present
our town is not ready for a steam fire
engine, but it is in need of a well or

new advertisement of Heard, White

before. It is a rich treat to look at
the handsome articles in their popu

The Georgia Proa* Association will
not go on an excursion to Cuba this
spring. The Inter-State Commerce
hill prohibits the extending of free
passes hy railroads to excursionist* to
travel from oue state to another, and
in consequence there will not lie ns
much gadding around hy editors and
public officers us heretofore. 1 lowcv
er, the Press Association will hold its
annual meeting in May, at Valdosta,
and the roads in tliv state have kindly
consented to furnish free transporta
tion to editors and their ludies to and
from tlie place of meeting.

Let our people patronize this worthy
entertainment, fur it is given in the
interest of a most noble cause. The
admission fee will lie very small. Our
Presbyterian friends always assist in
making a success of anything for a
benevolent purpose, in remembrance
of which Music Hall should lie fill
ed to overflowing Friday night.
Win. 11. Evans is an educated ma
chinist and thoroughly understands
how to manufacture and repair any

ehinery in need of repair, carry it

w ill wait on you a reasonable time for
the same, lie has a first class shop,
is an honest man and will do black
smith work aud repair machinery at
prices to suit the hardness of the dull
times. Read his advertisement and
bring him your work.
The spring term of Newton Supe
rior Court convened Monday morn
ing’last. Ilis Honor, Judge James
S Boynton, and Solictor General Em
mett Womack were on hand early
flic charge of the Judge was forcible
and listened to attentively by all the
people present. There has been hut
few cases disposed of up to the time
we go to press. A large amount of
business, both civil and criminal, will
lie tranacted during this session, yet
no crimes of high degree are billed
against the unfortunates who are to
be brought before the liar of human
justice. Our people are well pleased
with Judge Boynton and he can al
ways count on receiving a cordial and
enthusiastic welcome here. Court will
probably be continued through most
of next week. The Grand Jury ate
busily engaged looking alter and in
vestigating the affairs of tbe county.
We have tired ourself down in en
deavoring to convince the people that
no one desires to force upon them a
local court, with criminal jurisdic
tion, unless it is their will and desire.
In case any unwise measure was fas
tened upon our people that would in
jure the county we would esteem it a
privilege and consider it a duty to de
mand from the Legislature a repeal
of the law that permitted such a meas
ure to be forced upon the people con
trary to their expressed wishes. The
people need feel no uneasiness about
being “tricked” into a county court,
for if there is anything done about
the matter at all it will be open, le
gitimate, fair and square, else such a
court would be speedily abolished hy
legislative enactment at the earliest
possible moment. However, should
Newton county ever need such a court
it is in a position to organize it under
a state law which applies to all coun
ties alike. This is all there is in
the county court matter, and the in
dividual who imagines that any one
desires to establish such a court for
personal or speculatives purposes is
simply laboring under a false impres
sion and at the same wrestling with
.a gigantic illusion.
An innocent looking young man
with long hair and soft brown eyes
dropped into our office and told us
the following yarn, and expressed a
willingness to swear to the truth of it
—this we refused to allow him to do :
He said lie had two setter dogs and a
little wagon. That when he desired
to take a bird hunt he would bitch
his <iogs to the wagon and strike
out for the hunting ground at the rate
of 20 miles an hour. When he reach
ed the ground he would unhitch his
dogs and start them out in the field.
He would walk along slowly, paying
no attention to the dogs, for when a
envy of birds was found one of tbe
dogs would hunt him up and pilot
him to where the other dog was hold-
ing the birds. He had frequently
fired into a drove and killed 15 quails
on the rise. 11l fact, his dogs never
fooled away time on a envy with less
than thirty birds in it —on Snapping
Shoals creek they found a covy with
75 in it, but that was early in the
season. At tbe close of his hunt he
would return to his wagon and him
self amt dogs would take “a turn
about” in hauling each other home.
He said that dividing the pulling ot
the wagon made it easier for both the
dogs as well as for himself.
“Speak this B|ieech, as I tell you,
trippingly on the tongue.” Say that
one of the great benefactions of the
age is a small bottle of Salvation Oil,
tbe greatest cure on earth for paiu.

An End to Bone Scraping.—
l Edward Shepherd, of Harrisburg, ll
| linois, says: “Having received so
' much benefit from Electric Bitters, 1
feel it my duty to let suffering hu
manity know it. Have had a run
ning sore on niv leg for eight years ;
my doctors told me I would have to
have the bone scraped or leg amputa
ted. I used, instead, three bottles of
Electric Bitters and seven boxes of
Bueklen’s Arnica Salve, and my leg
is sound and well.” Electric Ritters
are sold at fifty cents a bottle, ami
Bucklen’s Arnie-i Salve at 25c per
box by Brooks & Ivy. —5
