A bright and prosp nils time will
dawu upon this favored Mv-lion of the
South when our abundant water pow
er is utilized and factories and sho|is
line the banks of our streams. There
is water power sufficient in Yellow,
Alcova and South rivers to drive an
immense amount of machmey. On ull
these rivers site after site can be found
where manufactories can easily be
erected. Of course our people are
not able to develop and utilize these
natural resources at this time, hut
capitalists from abroad can find an
inviting field for safe investment by
investigating the advantages which
can be presented by this county.
Messrs. Wells Bros. & Woodruff
have put their new bread wagon on
the road, and are furnishing the pub
lie with the best of bread and the
sweetest of cakes. This firm is com
posed of three high-tone I, fair-deal
ing and progressive young gentlemen.

The London Theatrical Company
gave three very creditable entertain
ments here this week, and each )>er
forinance was well patronized. The
music was fine nnd the acting pleas
ed the audience. Col. J. E. Stocky
and Major W. F. Kempahaß, propri
etors, are pleasant and courteous gen
tlemen, while the other members of
the company are wejl versed in the
art of charming the public before the
foot-lights. We had a strong idea
of complimenting the young ladies,
but prefer to wait until '‘Old Fogg”
gets out of town, as he might invite
us Ut “come into camp” and then
“shoot and run” before we had an op
portunity to defend ourself. The lo
cal “hits” were highly enjoyed. All
in all, this company may be termed a
good one, far superior to a majority
of the troupes on the road, and much
better than any which have visited
our city during the past season.
On the evening of the 30th ult.,
Dr. T. N. Pitts, of the Pitts House,
tendered to the bench, the bar and
the press his usual semi-annual com
plimeiitiary supper. Between twenty
and thirty gentlemen occupied seats
in the new (lining room of this well
kept and popular hotel. There wcie
lour regular courses served ami the
bill of fare was complete. Oysters,
fish, broiled dried beef, cold boiled
ham, baked apples with lemon, egg
and light bread, biscuit, crackers, etc.
Also, ices, several varieties of cake,
pickles, jellies, preserves, etc. etc.
In fact, the supper wus ail that any
one could wish or desire. After the
feast the guests repaired to the office
where the Doctor was in waiting with
a box of fine cigars. After an hour
or so in conversation and anecdote
the assembly adjourned, leaving be
hind kind wishes for a long, happy
and prosperous life to the gallant and
generous Doctor and his most estima
ble wife and daughter.
Several days of last week Colonel
“West.” Murphy, of the State Agri
cultural Department, was in this city
and county securing samples of guano
to be sent to the state chemist for an
alysis. He secured samples from gu
ano in warehouses, on wagons and in
the hands of ugeuts and dealers. If
any spurious fertilizers are placed on
the market this season, he says the
Department will find it out and let
the farmers know the brand, besides
prosecuting the parties who take part
in the fraud. The other inspectors
are also traveling over the state look
ing after this same matter. Commis
sioner Henderson is determined to do
all in Ids power to protect the farmers
from licing imposed upon and swin
dled by corporations or individuals,
and yet there are plan tors who seem
anxious to wage war upon the De
partment, thereby crippling its use
fulness and retarding its progress.
Newton county opens w ide her arms
to aIJ honest, industrious people.
AS OTHERS SEE US.
I ______
T. J. Burney, traveling agent and
s|teeial correspondent of the Augusta
Chrouicle, bus this to MV of our city:
Being a constant attendant upon the
session* of the different Superior
j i ourts of several circuits, I wish to
bear testimony of the system that
prevails here under the jurisdiction of
Hon. James S. Boynton. Judge
Boynton is one of the purest and best 1
men that ever wore the ermine, aid |
is so universally esteemed, that no at
tendant upon his courts, from the
lawyers to the humblest spectator,
would do anything to wound his feel
ing*.
The court house is so admirably
constructed that the sessions of the
grund jury are not known to the
court room, as that body, while in
easy communication with the court,
is completely isolated.
Newton county properly appreci
ates the importance of placing her
best citizens upon this body, and the
one that has been in session this term
of the court is said to have lieen one
of the ablest ever drawn here.
It was -imposed of several of the
lea<ling business men of the town ami
the most intelligent and influential
farmers. I had the pleasure of listen
ing to the reading of their general
presentments, ami must say that it
was as clear, lucid ami appropriate a
presentation of a county’s financial,
moral ami social condition us I ever
heard read.
The body made a departure from es
tablished usages to compliment their
foreman, Col. T. J. Shepljprd, in very
warm terms for the obligations he hud
conferred upon them.
Col. -Shepherd employed the rare
business sagaciiy and sound judgment,
with which he conducts his large pri
vate ess. into the investigations
of the affairs of the county and his
brother jurors appreciated it, as did
the court and the spectators.
Covington is getting ready for n
boom. Col. A. B. Simms, who knows
the advantages of his city and county,
and has their interests near his big
soul, assured me that old Newton
would l>e heard from soon. With such
brain power us can he consolidated in
her Simms, her Pace, Middlebro-iks,
Womack, Dickson, Edwar-ls, Davis,
Henderson, Swann, Stewart & Cos ,
the Corleys, Rosser, J. J. Hearing,
Heard, White & Thompson, Peeks.
Lees, Shepherd & Son, and other
wide-awake merchants and citizens,
hacked by the leverage of a local
press, iu the hands of the veteran
Anderson nnd the versatile Hawkins,
I can’t see why the brightest dream
of the most enthusiastic citizen can
not be realized.
