Covington must have a connection with
the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia

with it at Locust Grove or McDonough we
would now be enjoying the benefit of the
same. A connection can be made with it
in less than 25 miles from Covington.

show the wonderful proficiency he has at¬
tained in the art of penmanship. We
have never seen anything better in that
line. Penmanship is really a fine art, and
but few attain to such perfection in it, as
Prof. Davis has reached. All who can
take a course of instruction under him,
should avail themselves of the opportun¬
ity to do so.

Gain«#»yjRe’s Present and Future Pros¬
pects.
The Gainesville Eagle and Press, of May
22d, contains a very flattering editorial on
the present and future prospects of that
city, which shows it to be one the most
flourishing towns in North Georgia. It is
only a few years since Gainesville was
nothing but a small mountain village, with
nothing<0 especially encourage its pre-ent
growth and prosperity. But the Air Line
railroad was built along by its doors, and
it at once took new life, and began to de¬
velop into a prosperous and busy town.—
Its citizens were at once infused with the
spirit of progress. They went to work
with commendable will todevelon their
wonderful resources, and to-day G.dnes
vilLeisthe foremost town in all North
Georgia. We can but congratulate her en¬
terprising and progressive citizens upon
their success.
The Eagle and Press, with commenda¬
ble pride, thus sums up what Gainesville
now has to base her prosperity upon :
“We now have two railroads, one street
railroad, two banks, four fine hotels, five
flourishing churches, three colleges, be¬
sides several other good common schools,
an extensive match factory, two large
tanneries, two shoe factories, one planing
mill, an iron foundry, a merchant mill, a
cigar factory and several smaller indus¬ added
tries, all doing well. With these,
to the numerous stores, livery stables and
adj icent watering boast, places, do of which Hesitate GainetV in
vitle can we not
saying that her prospects are bright and
still brightening.
Another new brick building, 150 feet
long, is spoken of in Covington.
A young man need not now go west to
grow up with the country. He can go to
Atlanta.
Victor Hugo’s funeral took place in Paris,
France, on Monday, and was the grand¬

The power and influence of the Atlanta
Constitution was never displayed more

ter of working up the subscriptions to the
Young Men’s Christian Association build¬
ing fund. It is but a few days since the
matter was taken in hand by that journal,
and already the subscriptions foot up more
than $67,000. They want $75,000, and will
probably get it this week.
A Walking Skeleton.
Mr. E. Springer, of Mechanicsburg, Pa.,
writes : I was afflicted with lung fever and ab
scess on lungs, and reduced to a walking Skele¬
ton. Got a free trial bottle of Dr. King’s New

Death of Mr- J. O'. Anderson,
Mr. Joseph G. Anderson died at bis
home, five miles south of Covington, on
last Wednesday, after a painful and pro¬
tracted illness of about six years, aged
over 50 years. He was confined to his bed
by a painful and acute disease for the past
six years, during which time he suffered
untold agonies, but be never once mur¬
mured or complained. His fortitude and
patience are without a parallel in human
suffering. His devoted wife was ever at
his bedside to administer to Ins wantsand
cheer him with her kind anil affeetioiedi
words of encouragement. Mr. Anderson
was unable to take solid food upon his
stomach for a Jong while, and for about
-50 days before his death the only nourish¬
ment he took was in liquid form, and in
the very smallest quantities. He was in
the full possession of nis mental faculties
until a few minutes before his death, and
passed calmly and peacefully into tl e
Great Unknown, where ho >s forever free
from his long and terrible pain and suf¬
fering. May his rest be sweet and peace
fill.
THE FESTIVAL.
The Festival, at the Female College, on last
Friday night, for the benefit of the Methodist
Church, notwithstanding the continuous and
drenching rains during the day, and the dripping
rain during the night, was a most decided suc
cess in every particular. The number of persons
present “considering the weather,” was >vr,
large s and, if one single person w*nt awjy dis
s: t slid, or without having spent a pie s- -.it
£..uig, we have yet to hear of it.
The little folks, the trundle -bed set, espec
tally- had a joyous good time. Blessings on the
little girls and boys, with hearts fresh as the flow¬
ers and glad as the song of a summer bird, and
with eyes and little faces bright as dew drops
turned to diamonds under the touch of a sun
beam.
There was a variety and an abundance of cake,
which, with the Strawberries, plain ice-cream,
strawberries and ice cream, lemonade and shtr
bert, made it a festival not only in name, but *
festival in truth and reality—a festival fit lor *
king.
A beautifully dressed cake, handsomer in its
line than anything we had ever seen, and tl g
handiwork of Mrs. S. W. Hawkins, »is readi¬
ly sold for five dollars, and might have been sold
for much more.
The stage, t .bles and stands were made charm
'ugly bright and attractive by flowers arranged
and combined with perfect ancj erequisite taste and
skill as to effect and beauty. The spelling “lute,"
admirably conducted by Capt. J, M. pace, was
an amusing and tnjoyabie feature of the even
ing : some iS or 20 persons taking part in the
spelling, consisting of from little boys in knee
breeches up to Solicitor General Womack, and
from little girls in short dresses and pantaletts,
up to the young lady of culture and fashion.
After two or three rounds without a word be¬
ing spelled incorrectly, Mr. Jeff Stewart was the
first to go down ; then in rapid succession ab out
a dozen, one after another, went down : and
then the inevitable struck genial Si. Hawkins.
I’oor Si ! he was sadly unfortunate ; for it was
said that there was but one word in the book
that he could not spell, and it was just his luck
to have to tackle that one word. He went down
all in a heap under rhinoceros. How he spelled,
or rather, how he spelled at that word, no hu¬
man being can tell, and he will never again be
able to get together such a queer combination of
letters as he fished up in trying to spell rhinoc¬
eros. Well, nothing less than that huge beast
could have budged Si. one inch.
Soon then the contest was narrowed down to
Miss Lucie Pace and Col. Womack, and the in¬
terest as to which one of the two wou'd win,
rose on tip-toe ; but dapfiodil would not do for
daffodil, and the gallant Col. at’once tumbled
under a little flower, leaving Miss Lucie standing
alone, a veritable princess, beautiful but not ex¬
ultant, in the consciousness of her triumph and
victory.
With a few gcod humored and appropriate re¬
marks, the prizes were presented by Mr. John
B. Davis. The first prize, to Miss Lucie Pace,
was a box of splendid flowers, the best get tip
and arrangement, from the skilled hand and large
collection of Mrs. R. W. Bagby. The prize to
Mr. Jeff Stewart was a spelling book, from which
he can learn that the word gnaw is spelled m ith
out a k.
Such occasions are healthy and wholesome.—
At them, we learn to know each other better,
and learn to love each other more. *+
Miss Irene Wood, who has been critical¬
ly ill during the past week, is now repor¬
ted lo be much better.
The Annie Firmin and John Jack Com¬
edy Company’ commenced a three nights
engagement at McDonald’s hall, in Cov¬
ington, on Monday night, and was greet¬
ed with a very delighted audience. The
company opened with East Lynne, and
we have never seen it more elegantly ren¬
dered. Miss Annie Firman, as Lady Isa¬
bel Vane and Madame Vine, was simply
charming. The company is a fine one,
and we hope to see them well patronized
throughout their engagement.
Don’t forget that the opening exercises
of the approaching commencement, at
the Georgia Methodist Female College,
will take place on Friday night, the 12th
inst. The exhibition, on that evening,
will be given by the pupils in the primary
department It will consislof recitations,
tableaux, calisthenics, &e. Every effort
is being made to make it a success. It
will he one of the most interesting feat¬
ures of the commencement, and the little
ones should be encouraged by a large aud
ience. All are cordially invited to be
present.
Mr. F. L. McGinnis is now running Col.
A. B. Si in in’s mill, on the Dried Indian.
Mr. John W. Peek was painfully shot
in the foot, at Lee & Bro’s store, in Cov¬
ington, on last Saturday morning, by a
burglar gun, which had been set for the
protection of the 'tore. Tin- gun was
heavily charged with No 5 shot, and the
whole load entered his bed, and passed
along the whole length of the foot, mak¬
ing an ugly and painful wound, hut not
necessarily a serious one. The gun was
so arranged as to be discharged by the
opening of the door, and Mr. Peek went
to open the door, having forgotten to re
move the gun, when it was discharged
with the above result. Dr. A.C. Perry is
attendin' him, and thinks fie wo md will
not prove serious. lie is getting along as
well as could be expected. Mr. Peek is
an industrious and worthy young man,
ami we hopo lie may soon be up again.

There is nothing in the line of Magic or
mysters about that popular medicine,Par¬
ker’s Tonic. It is simply the best and
most s' ientific combination possible ot
the essential principles of those vegeta
ble curatives which act powerfully aud di
rectly on the stomach, liver, kidneys and
blood. But there neither is, nor will be,
any successful imitation of it. It is all
time curing those w ho had despaired of
ever getting well. For yourself, w ife and
lin.
