This makes a snbstaiicial and ‘'heavy’’

Every merchant and business man
in the county should have at least n
small card in the Enterprise. Put

and moat impressive manner.
Mr. Ranks Hints, one of the oldest

in Itockdale county, one day recent

Scott, also of Rockdale, is dead.
Hon. Clark Howell, of the At’anta
Constitution, was united in marriage
to Miss Hattie Barrett, of Augusta,
Saturday evening last. The happy
maple left for New York Monday
and sailed for Europe Wednesday, to
be absent two or three months. Of
course we wish for our friend anil his
bonny bride all the joy and happi
ness that can lie found ou this earth.
One thing certain, the people of
Newton county will try prohibition
for awhile, no matter who grunts or
growls. It is useless to waste time
in discussing the law now, but we feel
authorized to say if it does not work
well at present, it will lie made to
work before another retail bar is ev
er licensed in Newton county.
Swann, Stewart A Cos., have always
made a ipecialty f clothing in their
business. They have this spring one
of the largest an:l most careful! se
lected lines they have ever carried
and only ask an examination of their
stock to verify this statement. NoW
as to the price, style and fit they can
say nothing here half so convincing
as a look on the part of their friends
will justify, and on this line most
cordially invite an inspection of the

Monday, April 26, Memorial Day,
will be appropriately observed here.
The address will be delivered by Col.
James F. Rogers. The services will
be in the afternoon, commencing at 3
o’clock. Our patriotic ladies will ev
er keep alive the glorious memory of
our heroic dead. And why not ? for
the brilliant history of that bloody
revolution, iu which they lost their
lives, is the richest legacy which can
fe handed down to southern posterity.
When the truthful hand of an im
partial and honest man sha 1 have
peiukoi a correct history of that une
qual struggle the world will gaze with
wonder and admiration upon the chiv
alry, the willing sacrifice.and undy
ing devotion of the Confederate sol
dier to the principle of right, duty
and constitution liberty.
We saut our society editor out the
other day to hunt up a few personals.
Here is a sample of what he brought
liack : “Bud Pickett, of Newton
Factory, called at the court house
Monday to see deputy sheriff Carroll
but found him out.” ‘‘Joseph Guinn,
our popular harness maker, stepped
over to see Charlie Anderson 'lues
day, hut Charles was too busy to chat
with Joe.” “R >beit Loyd has turned
Ms talents to making mouse traps,
when not otherwise engaged.” “A
musical young man was “rocked to
sleep” while returning from a visit to
a charming young lady, Sunday
night.” We would give the other
“personals” he wrote, but our devil
says it makes him feel sick and faint
while endeavoring to put them in
type.
Mrs. Mariah Cobb, died at the Pau
per farm Sunday last of dropsy.
Aged about 40 years. Rev. R. J.
Bighani learned that it was not cus
tomary for the burial of a pauper to
be so.emnized by religious services,
remarked that so long as he was here
he would willingly officiate at the in
terment of any person whose friends
desired his services, and more especi
ally would he give his time and at
tention to the friendless, homelcjs
find unfortunate not only in life, hut
even after death had closed their
weary eyes. Anil thus it was that
that good man, Rev. li. J. Bigham,
-tendered hi* services to the Chairman
of the County Commissioners to offi
ciate at the burial of any pauper
who died at the poor house. Of course
any of our ministers would have done
tire same, but strange to say, no one
has taken the trouble or pains to se
cure their services or even intimate
that they would be acceptable if ten
dered,

WISE AND OTHERWISE.
The Echo says that Lexington will
be in fine trim to meet Covington on
the base bull field in Athens.J u.y 4lli.
There ure enough gunners in Cov
ington to orgunize a lull glass ball
club during the coming summer, and
enough crack shots to make a match
very interesting with Atlanta, Macon,
or Augusta, or any other city able to
support a gun club.
Mrs. Melinda Hinton, mother of
Mrs. 11. W. Boguns, formerly of this
county died ut the home of the lat
ter in Washington, Un., not long
since. She was a good and noble la
dv, beloved by all who knew her. At
the time of her death she was 73 years
of age.
The state Baptist convention will
meet in Albany on Apri! 26th. Del

time in the Artesian city. Brother
Mclntosh, of the News & Advertiser, |
who married a most charming Cov
ugton young lady, will do his part
iu making the convention a success.
A bycicle club, which consists of
eight or ten of our business young
men, has hce.i recently organized in
Covington, and before ninny days will
lie equipped with handsome machines,
in view of the excellent condition oi
the streets in our city and the smooth

At the Methodist and Presbyteriai
•hurches, in Covington, E.ister Sut -
av was appropriately observed with
he ceremony customary on this occa
sion. Both churches were beautifu!-
v and elaborately decorated with cv
rgreens and flowers, and lioth fillc
,-ith large and appreciative congrega
jations. Dr. Callaway, of Emory
college, conducted the services at the
u iruing service at the Methodist and
Dr. Quigg the morning and evening
service at the Presbyterian church.
A report comes to us that an Ox
ford man was in Washington a few
lays since and while there he under
stood that somebody had heard that a
Jasper county man had been talking
with a fellow from Macon whose sis
ter-in-law had a daughter who heard
a surveyor sav that he wouldn tbe at
all surprised if the Covington A Ma
eon railroad was finally completed to
Covington. This is certainly good
news—in fact it is the best kind of
news, for it conies so straight and
from such an authentic source.
AVe are confident thni the officers
and courts of this town and county
have the courage and manhood to see
that our laws are not violated with
impunity. If any violations of the
local option or other laws are going
on in our community it is a mighty
poor officer who can’t find it out, an
ns all our officials are considered hon
est and shrewd men, those who at
tempt to run any “blind tigers” may
rest assured that their sin will soon
be found out, and justice administer
ed with an iron hand.
Mr. G. W. Allen, of Newton coun

On Monday last we had a pleasant
call from A. E. Armistead, of Alco
va Station. Mr. Armistead is a gen
tleman of vim and energy, and for
many years has been in charge of the
Ga. R. 11., business at that point, lie
sides running a two horse farm. He
says it is a mistake that there is no
money in farming, for last year he
made six huudred dollars on his lit
tle farm over and above every ex
pense, and he is confident that he
will clear one thousand dollars, ns liis
superintendant, Capt. Brooks, who
stands “six feet three” in his stock
ing feet, is determined to make a big
crop if close attention and hard work
can do it. Mr. Armistead is 29 years
old, doe* not use tobacco in any form,
has never touched liquor or coffee,
and is as fine a specimen of man
hood as can be found in Georgia.
