COVINGTON. GEORGIA, THURSDAY, MAY 28, 1890.
Hon. L. F. Livingston appeared
before the ways and means committee
in Washington City on Thursday sul/treas- and
advocated the passage of the
urv bill, and in case this plan could
not be secured, then, in the name of
the agricultural classes of this
try, he asked that the farmers be
en a reasonable amount of legislation
to save them from bankruptrv and
ruin. He made an able and eloquent
appeal which was weU received by the
committee and highly complimented
bv the press all over the Union. He
made many friends daring his brief
stay in Washington and it is hoped
and believed that good to the farmers
will result from the information he
gave as to the condition of the agri
cultural classes and the necessity of
national legislation in their behalf. —

The Baptist Sunday school of Cov¬
ington held its annual pie nic at Ce¬
dar Shoals on Friday last. It was a
most enjoyable occasion and all had a
delightful time. The dinner was es
pecially fine and more than enough
choice eatables was spread beneath
the shade of trees on table linen to
have fed twice the number present.
Although given by the Baptist school
all other denominations were invited
and had able representatives on hand.
The day was devoted to fishing, boat
riding, promenading, with perhaps a
little love-making. For true sociabil
ity, a royal time and a good dinner
a Baptist Sunday school pie nic can’t
well be beat.
