WISE AND OTHERWISE
It is frequently stated that even a !
pig won't use tobacco, but it is a fact'
equally true that a pig will neither
attend church nor do a good many
other respectable things. It's a poor
rule that won’t work both wavs.
The Republican imperial the north
continue to sdvisc the negroes to wail
and lie patient. The negro has been
waiting and blindly serving the Re
pub.iean party for a quarter of a cen
tury and it is not surprising that be
has at last become a little fidgity.
Our city authorities are putting the
streets and sidewalks in the liest pos
sible order, and if they would only
rid the town of the offensive trees in
certain locations it would be a hless
, iag that many of us would appreciate.
I However, this will probably lie done
this fall or winter.
j Covington and Newton county has
a bright and prosperous future for ev
i cry honest, industrious, economical,
prudent individual who lives here or
who may hereafter locate here. Our
| natural advantages, our water powers
and our healthy climate are second to
I no soetion in tins greut country.
The prevalence of scrofulous taint
in the blood is much more universal
than many are aware. Indeed, but
few persons are free front it Fortu
nately, hnwevei, we have in Ayer’s
.Sarsaparilla, the most potent remedy
; ever discovered for this terrible afflic
tion.
We look for a lively time when the
public school board of Covington ap
ply to the trustees of the Methodist
Female college for the use of that
building for public schools purposes.
We believe it would be wise to keep
up a college department for higher
education in connection with our pub
lic schools, and presume no one will
object, but whether the Methodist
-Conference will consent to lease this
building or turn it oAcr to the city of
Covington is a debatable questiou dif
fieult of correct solution.
The farmers of the South are or
ganizing. They are studying ques
tions which heretofore remained with
out study. They are finding that in
the paths of agriculture lies there
chief wealth. They find that it is notso
much the area of their land as in the
diversity that profits are to be realiz
ed. They are buying at wholesale
something in the manner the Northern
sovereigns of industry a few years ago
made headway in the comprehension of
conomic and other questions which lie
at the basis of prosperity.
We expect to be with our brethren
of the press on their Western tour,
and trust everything in Newton eoun
tj will get along harmoniously and
well during our absence. The pro
gramme of the excursion is as follows:
Tuesday, 28th, in Macon ; Wednes
day, ‘29th, in Birmingham. Thursday
in Memphis and a steamboat ride on
the Mississippi river; Friday in Kan
sas City, Saturday a trip from Kan
sas City to Topeka, Kansas and re
turn, Sunday in St. Louis, reach
Nashville Monday evening and re
main until Tuesday noon : then leave
Nashville for Chattanooga, arriving
in theevening, Wednesday, Junesth,
trip up Lookout Mountain and leave
at noon for Atlanta.
Covington wiii s on have a thor
oughly equipped hook and ladder or
ganization. Mr. Gcorgi \V Dennard
went to work a few days since and se
cured the nanus of 18 young men
who promised to become members of
the company. Wo understand that
Mr. Win. B. Let will accept the po
sition of Foremen, and if so, the or
ganization is sure to he active and effi
cient, as well ai popular and success
ful. Mr. Lee possesses an energy that
knowns no such word as fail, and the
17 other members of this company
are all wide awake, progressive young
men, who, when the}' undertake any
thing of a worthy nature never rest
uutil success crowns their efforts.
Mr. W. A. Norton noticed a turtle
or two in the poud under our iron
bridge, between town and the depot,
Thursday. That night he prepared a
little of the “sure-catch Norton bait”
and proceeded to lift a couple of reus
ing big lager heads out of the afore
said pond. He also caught a very
large ell- Mr. McNeal accompanied
him in order to rescue him in case he
happened to get pulled in by a big
fish or mammoth turtle, - ( ffor,” said
Mack, “nothing small ever bites the
celebrated ‘Norton bait’—you catch a
mess of something every time you
jerk when you use this bait—why a
married man here in town rubbed a
little of it on his moustache to kill the
smell of beer and when he got home
he ‘caught’ particular thunder.”
The Southern farmers, at least ev
ery one belonging to any of their
numerous organizations, is now pledg
ed to use no jute hugging next sea
son. A resolution to that effect was
reported to the National convention
and adopted, but, at the request of
the representative of the bagging
trust, the question was reopened. The i
trust was anxious to make terms, but
not enter into a contract for the en-
tire season. The original resolution,
pledging the farmers to use only cot
ton bagging, was called up again and
unanimously adopted. It was further
resolved that the state alliances in
each cotton growing stale, would erect
factories for the manufacture of the
bagging. All .the sessions of
Birmingham convention was held
with closed doors.

BASE BALL IN OXFORD.
Oxford, Ga., May 20, ’B9.
Mr. Editor.— The most interest
ing game of base ball of the season
was played by Covington and Oxford,
last Friday afternoon, on the grounds
of the latter.
When the question was asked, "who
has .the ■best team, who will win?”—
Some of the Covington people would
say “Oxford will not get to first base.”
file Oxford boys said nothing but
“sawed wood.”
Covington presented as her battery
Murry and Neal. Murry did not
prove so very effective ns was thought
—l3 base hits being made off of him.
Oxford diil not have the "profes
sional” pitcher, but were content with
Ed B. Gritfin and Lawrence.
Neal caught a fine game, especially
when it is remembered that he had
never caught Murry before and allow
ed only three balls to pass. Murry
could not have had better support.
Lawrence, Oxford’s catcher, caught
almost an errorless game, having one
pass hall.
Five hits were made off of Griffin
and thirteen off of Murry, so Oxford
did not need the “professional” pitch
after all that hart been said.
After the 7th inning had been com
pleted Covington placed in the box
Thompson, the “Snapping Shoals
Wonder,” hut it did no good, the Ox
ford boys batted him unmercifully.
Covington played nine and Oxford
eight innings and the score was 16 to
9 in favor of Oxford.
Oxford has played Covington three
games this season arid the following
is tlie score : 14 to 3, 18 to 7 and 16
to 9, all in favor of Oxford.
Covington will have to bring in
“another horse” before siie can beat
Oxford. F. W. G.
