COVINGTON, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, APRIL 25, 1895.
WISE AND OTHERWISE.
The Atlanta Presbytery held a very
importaut and interesting session in
Covington last week beginning Thurs
day night and ending Saturday.
About 70 delegates, from the various
churches in the Presbytery, were in
attendence, all of whom met with a
hearty and loving welcome from all
our people. A number of fine ser¬
mons were preached and much im¬
portant church business transacted.
All the services were well attended
and at all the evening and morning
sermons the house was crowded. It
was a pleasure and a privilege to have
these good people with us.
Mr. C. T. Pitts, of Newborn, will
try hog raising again this year, and
now has a two months old pig that
will weigh 80 lbs. Last winter he
killed an 18 mouths old hog and saved
the hams and middlings to carry him
through the spring and summer. He
weighed one of the hams Saturday
aud it tipped the beam at 3^ lbs. He
then weighed one of the middlings
and it barely pulled down a two pound
weight “Buck” says he is done with
raising small hogs and hereafter if he
can’t raise a hog that will weigh over
400 lbs at 12 months old, he won’t
raise any.
Among the prominent men and
ministers who attended the Presbytery
here last week we had the pleasure of
meeting Mr. Alfred Livingston, aged
92 years; his son, Congressman Liv¬
ingston, Rev. Dr. Barnett, Rev. Dr.
Mack, Rev. Dr. Cleveland, Rev. Dr.
Wood bridge, Rev Dr Pogue, Rev Dr
Quigg, Rev. Dr. Strickler and Rev.
Dr. Mathews. Besides these there
were a large number of Elders and
Preachers, who stand high in the esti¬
mation of the church and their fellow
men, and we regret that it was not
convenient for us to meet and become
acquainted with all of these gentlemen
Commencement, Sunday School cel¬
ebration, camp meeting and many
other public gathering will be held in
this section during the uext few
months, and everybody likes to have
nice vehicles to ride in. Fine aud
fancy painting, trimming, reparing,
etc , can’t be done in a day, so go at
once to the popular shops of Messrs.
A. C. Norman <fc Co., on Usher st.,
in Covington, and have your buggies,
carriages and other vehicles put, in
first class order. They have one of
the most artistic painters in Georgia,
and their wood and iron work cannot
be excelled anywhere. Don’t delay
this matter, but attend to it at once,
as all work is guaranteed aud prices
low.
Col. R. W. Bagby has figured out
how a man can live well on one dollar
a month : Get half a bushel of meal,
35 cents; 8 pounds bacon, 60 cents;
4 pounds peas, 4 cents; 2 pounds salt,
1 cent. With this liberal supply of
provisions a man can live 30 days and
have enough extra food to bait a
sucker hole and keep a fice dog. A
man can have . mush u and j gravy e tor
breakfast; bacon, dumplings, soup
and peas for dinner, and broiled meat
and hot corn cakes for supper.
course a man can’t serve his meals in
course, neither can he entertain many
of his friends, but he can live and
main healthy on the aforesaid bill of
fare. However, should he open a
boarding house aud expect to serve
the above bill of fare, we fear he
would not meet with a very liberal
patronage, especially from
men. Col. Bagby says that during
the war he could have lived three
months on the provisions that can
now be bought fur one dollar.
