In plain English, if the Governor

HOME AND OTHER ITEMS.
AS THEY TRANSPIRE FROM ONE
WEEK TO ANOTHER.
Mrs. Robert Huson is recovering
from a dangerous spell of sickness.

H er husband will be back next year.

Do you notice how, in foggy, wet

Spring Primitive Baptist church El¬
der Wm. Adams was elected pastor.

mon preached and one new member
admitted and baptised in Alcova river,
at the Purrington plantation the regu¬
lar baptising place.
The property tax for the city
Covington will be the same this year
as it was last. However, if we con¬
tinue to'make improvements for the
next few years like we have in the
past three, it will be necessary to in¬
crease the rate of taxation. At pres¬
ent it takes every cent of the money
raised to run the city goverment and
support the public schools.
An effort will be made by the next
legislature to amend the school
of the state so as to apportion
money paid by the whites for school
purposes to the white ,. children .... and
that pmd by the colored to the
children. It is charged ® that the men
ey spent for „ the . colored . people , , by
whites is not appreciated, in as much
as the rank and file of that race is
er ready to antagonize any public
measure that does not directly and
alone benefit them. The tax
are tired of scattering “pearls” arouud
promisciously where shelled corn
would do as well.
A Covington Doctor wants to
“what has become of the sanitary
committee ?” It is here and is doing
the best it can to have the town put
in a clean and healthy condition, but
with its many pleadings, threats and
orders it appears impossible to get all
of the citizens to assist in keeping the

it. 1 he sauiiarv . _ committee, the en
tire Council, including the Mayor and
other officials, would be delighted if
the public affairs could be conducted
so as to please and satisfy every
dent, visitor and stranger. If tbe
Doctor, or any other citizen, will call
the attention of the marshals or the
council to anything that is objection
able, or offensive, the same will be
