but pleasant visit one day lust week.
He has buckled down to nurd work on
his model farm in Rockdale county,
hut will he ut his post of duty when
the legislature meets next July. lie
thinks the “summer session" will he u
long und probably stormy one. and
the people will get a little nervous
before it adjourns. Come again, Sen
ator, and light our sanctum up once
more with your churtniug presence
and inteiestiug conversation.
That reliable geutlcman and suc
cessful farmer, Mr. John L. McCord,
gives ut the following preventative
for hog cholera : One-third tar and
two-thirds grease, well rubbed ou the
hogs three 01 four times a year wi.l
prevent their ever having cholera.
He says it is only lice ou hogs that
cause cholera. He has never lost a
hog from cholera and has raised thou
sands. He also thinks it necessary to
hum the beds where hogs with lice
have used. This is a simple remedy
and costs but little to try it.
Newton county Sunday School As
sociation. Time, Saturday, April 2,
10J a. m. Place, Mount Pleasant,
six miles east o f Covington. Ques
tion, a discussion of the present Inter
National system of Sunday school les
sons. Advantages and disadvantages.
Present, the officers, superintendents,
choristers, pastors, and two delegates
from each school. Others cordially
invited. Mount Pleasant will give all
a roval welcome. Election of officers
etc., for another year. J. S. Stew
art, Secretary.
Hon. J. A. Stewart, Rockdale’s ahli
and deservedly popular representative
spent a day with friends in Covington
recently, and everybody seemed anx
ious to shake his honest hand, flic
Doctor is a social, jovial gentleman,
and one of the kindest and most gal
lant of the “Old South’s” honored
sons. We roomed with him several
weeks while in the legislature and he
•‘told no tales out of school,” neither
did he inquire where we roamed lie
tween dark and day, nor did he make
search for our vial of agaric. Such
a man may well hear the exalted title
of “Nature’s Noble Man.”
’Gene Lee says that the next time
he goes on an all day bird hunt he
will look up a shorter legged compan
ion than Charlie White. ’Gene inti
mates that Charles hxs the speed of 11
race-horse and the endurance of a
well fueled locomotive. Brother Gum
ming, of Baltimore, says ’Gene is ex
actly right in his surmises as to the
ability of Charles to walk the tongue
out of any drummer or merchant in
the United States. Gumming ought
to know, for he has been 011 a hunt
or two with our friend, and had to be
dragged from the field to the roadside
and carted home in a one horse wag
on well loaded with ‘compost.’
The concert at Music Hall, Friday
night, was well patronized ami highly
appreciated. The singing of Rev. N
K. Smith charmed the audience, the
recitations by Col. Emmett Womack
were received with applause, while
the instumental music on the piano
by Miss Ludie Hendrick, Miss Carrie
Dyer and Prof. T. W. Newman was
fine indeed. The proceeds of the en
tertainment amounted to about S2O,
the better part of which was turned
over to the Presbyterian church. Rev-
Dr. Henry Quigg. of Conyers, acted
as master of ceremonies. It was a
most excellent entertainment ami the
good ami noble ladies and gentlemen
who labored to make it a success are
due the thanks of the cultivated and
refined audience present, We waive
the customary personal criticism on
those kind and generous individuals
who took prominent part in the exer
cises of the evening, as their time ami
talents were given to the cause of be
nevolence and sweet charity, and not
with a view to he weighted down with
idle compliment and faint praise.
Some people over about Athens
and around Madison appear to think
that Covington is stirred up and ex
cited over the prospect of losing the
Covington and Macon railroad. Not
a bit it, for our people are calm and
serene over the matter, and will one
day get the road if the terms of the
original charter are carried out in
good faith by the company. Our peo
ple hare ever been ready to carry
out their part of an agreement or con
tract entered into with this corpora
tion, and in case we never get the
road we will have the proud satisfac
tion of knowing that if anybody lias
acted the grand rascal about this
matter it was not the solid people of
Newton county. At this late day
we will say that Mogul Maehen once
told us unless he could get from the
legislature such privileges as his road
desired that he would sell out and the
State could go to the devil. Now,
without intending to be rough or pro
fane, we desire to remark in the most
polite and refined manner, in which
the delicate words can be used, that
so far as we are individually concern
ed, unless the, owners and projectors
of this enterprise carry out, in good
faith, the terms of their original char
ter and bring the road to Covington,
they can go to h—l, or any other sea
port town with it

When Chickens Como Home
to Roost.
You may take the world as it comes and
goes.
And you will be sure to find
That fate will square the account she owes
Whoever comes out behind;
And all things had that a man has done,
By w hatsoever induced,
Returns at last to him, one by one,
As the chickens come to roost.
You mnj* scrape and toil and pinch and
save,
While your hoarded wealth expands,
Till the cold, dark shadow of the grave
Is nearing your life’s hist sands;
You will have your balance struck some
night,
And you find your hoard reduced:
You’ll view your life in another light,
When the chickens coine home to roost.
You can stint your soul and starve your
heart
With the husks of a barren creed,
But Christ will know ifyou play a part.
Will know your hour of need:
And then as you wait for death to come
What hope can there he deduced
From a creed alone ? You will lie there
dumb
While your chickens come home to roost.
Sow as you will, there’s time to reap,
For the good and had as well,
And conscience, whether we wake or sleep,
Is either a heaven or hell;
And every wrong will find its place,
And every passion, loosed,
Drifts hack and meets you face to face
When the ehickens come home to roost.
Whether you’re over or under the sod,
The result will he the same,
You cannot escape the hand of God,
You must hear your sin or shame.
No matter what’s carved on the marble
slab,
When the items are all produced
You'll find that St. Peter was keeping ‘‘tab, H
And that chickens come home to roost.
