Farewell to Junk.
Farewell, thou darling of the year,
Sweet month of love ami tuue ;
Thy race is run, thy end is here,
Sweet June.
Thou lighted up the morning’s eye,
Gave glory to the noon ;
With tears we say to thee: Good-bye,
Dear June.

And gladly took our tkumcls otf,
Oh, June.

Until the blood is cleansed of im
purities, it is useless to attempt tiie
cure of any disease. Rheumatism,
which is traceable to an acid in tlie
blood, has been cured, in numerous

rilla, external treatment being of no
avail.

Number the houses and erect anew

desire to purchase.
It is said that hereafter the terms
of admission to Mercer Univerity at
Macon will he the same as that of the
State University at Athens. In other
words, our Baptist friends have virtu

lege go to work and also arrange for
free tuition. It can be done.
Mr. 11. J. Watson, the champion
bird hunter of Redan, tells the Li
thonia New Era that he expect to
come down to Covington about Goto
her 15th, kill 100 partridges in two
days and claim the gun we promised
to give in case he did this. We stand
by our proposition, but do not pro
pose for Mr. Watson to be shooting
birds before they are large enough to
fly. After November 15 and before
March 15, he is envited to come.
The latest report is that Henry W.
Grady will run against Judge Stewart
for Congress in this district. A well
informed gentleman, who is figuring
on a Grady-Stewart fight, said to a
Macon Telegraph correspondent: “If
Grady should come in the race, as I
believe he will, he will carry Fulton’s
six votes, two from Newton, two from
Rockdale, two from Campbell and
four from Walton, giving him sixteen
sure votes. Judge Stewart would
have without much dispute two from
Spalding, two from Fayette, two from
Clayton and two from Henry, a total
of eight votes, with a fighting chance
for Dclvalb. This would nominate
Grady.”
It is a great thing in this life to
have true friends and generous neigh
oors. This reminds us that we have
them. When our early peaches were
stolen friends sent all we needed, and
when we bent our turtle hook Mr.
Edward Heard gave us another and a
linen line to go with it. Mr, James
F. Peek has given us a complimenti
ary ticket to his apple orchard, while
Capt. Argust Boye has made a slip
gap near the path leading to his finest
peach trees. Charlie Camp feasted
us on pears and wild goose plums on
Thursday, while Mrs. John B. Davis
sent us a couple of the first and finest
j cantaloupes Finlay that we have seen
this season. The man who believes
that ‘this life is not worth the living’
should be fared and feathered and
rode out of the country on a rail.
Mr. Lewis D. Pace, after a pleas
ant visit to dear ones here and friends
'in Kentucky has returned to his du
ties in Washington City. He is ns
popular abroad as he is at home. He
is energetic and industrious, social
and companionable, possesses a warm
heart and a level head and makes a
most faithful clerk in the Interior De
partment of this great government.
That position and houor await this
brilliant young man is sure and cer
tain, if health lie given and life he
spared him. We are proud of our
friend who has gone forth in the busy
world to fight a hand-to-hand com
bat with all the difficult problems
which are presented to mankind while
journeying from the cradle to the
grave. May success crown his every
effort while here on earth he dwells.

A BASE DECEPTION
Is being practiced hy some liquor
dealers in buying second hand bottles
with Harper LiilhiU, refilling them
with forty rod whiskey mid palming
them oil' on an unsuspecting public j
as the genuine uiticlc. To guard
against such frauds consumers arc ad
vised to buy I. W. Harper's Old
Nelson County Ky. Whiskey only
from tlic undersigned, who arc the
only authorized agents who receive it
direct from headquarters,
SWORI) AND NORTON,
Covington, Georgia.
H. A. JONES A CO.,
Will, until further notice, keep and
sell Potts A Potts celibated XXX
Rye Whiskey at $2.00 per gallon.—
This is the purest whisky on earth for
the money. “Harper's” failed to
please some of our custonieis, an we
are forced to handle the famous XXX
We have the Harper whiskey, left
over, and will sell it very low, as it
is hard stock for us to handle or sell.
