A county paper is intended to give all
the important news of the county, and, in
brief, all the general news of the State
and all other news of general interest. To
do this it requires a great deal of work
and reading. Probably tlie editor of a
country paper does more reading than
most any other man. He has to read
many pages, perhaps, to get a few simple
news points which he expresses to his
readers in one simple paragraph. You
can very readily See, then, one of the
great advantages of a country paper.
It adds to the interest of every county,
community and town to have a live and
energetic paper which keeps them posted
on the current topics of the day. Every¬
body ought to take their county paper.—
How can they do without it? How can
they do without that which carries to them
every week the news, local, personal, gen¬
eral and particular, in short, pointed, and
pithy paragraphs? To give, in a nutshell,
all that pertains to the upbuilding of so.
ciety, and all that elevates, improves, de¬

A word about advertising. Advertis¬
ing does pay. Advertising is not a hum¬
bug. Advertising in a reliable and high
toned paper places you in a favorable
light before the public, places you before
the citizens of the county, and thereby
directs attention to you and what is ad¬
vertised, which necessarily redounds to
one’s good. The columns of the Star are
open to those wishing reasonable adver
tising rates.

HOW COVINGTON AND HER PEO¬
PLE STRIKE THE VISITOR.
The following is a true copy of a letter writ¬
ten to a friend by a young man shortly after his
arrival at Covington : What pleasure and hap¬
piness there is in contemplating and beholdin -
rural scenery. Happiness has been beautiful y
compared to manna in the desert, le tlut
gathered much had nothing over, and he that
gathered little had no lack. Never was the wri¬
ter so impressed with the truth and import of
this county, until a short while ago. Being
agreeably surprised by being located at Coving¬
ton, I left the grand old city of Atlanta on a day
delightfully suited for such a trip, with a heart
as light, free, joyous and gay as though no wave
of trouble or ore had ever found an entrance
to these sacred portals. I reached Covington,
the most hospitable spot human eye ever rested
upon, just as the midday sun was made resplen¬
dent by its bright rays, which were being shed
upon the beauties and charms that nature has
so lavishly bestowed upon this middle Georgia
elysium.
A few days ago I had the pleasure of visit¬
ing Oxford, which is the seat of learning and
culture ; and, indeed, it was a great treat to
pass the pure pearly stream near the depot,
dancing its course along beneath the bright and
dazzling rays of the sun as the mantling and fan¬
tastic shadows seemed to make the lofty oaks
bow their majestic tops in obeisance and recog¬
nition, as if to say: “Nature, great parent,
how beautiful, how mighty, and how grand are
thy works.” And if your correspondent could
have broken the silence of his admiration, he
would have exclaimed, as has said the greatest
of writers, “And this, our life,exempt from
public haunts, find tongues in trees, books in
running brooks, sermons in stones, and pleasure
in everything.”
We mus* admit that Covington hasas beautiful
and attractve young ladies as can be found any
where ; and I am safe in saying that they are
useful as well as ornamental, and, if necessary,
they can prepare a meal which would tempt the
palate of an eastern epicure. Right here let me
“stick a pin.” This kind of young ladies is
not only the right kind (o go with, hut just
the kind that any young man would do well >o
take unto himself “for better or for worse.” You
see my point do you ? You catch my idea exact¬
ly do you? Then it is so nice to see the moth¬
ers over look matters, and then, of course, say
something nice about their charming daughters.
We have noticed some young ladies of Covington
decorating the different churches with beautiful
flowers of rich and varied colors, and am safe in
asying, that, like I’orserpine gathering, they
themselves were the fairest flowers.

Last Saturday, Col. L. ^“Livingston called a
meeting of the citizens of Newton county for
the purpose of raising 825,000, Newton’s share
of the subscription to the C. & M. R. R. About
$4,000 was subscribed in the meeting, and the
following persons were appointed as a committee
to work up the rest: Messrs. Joseph George,
A. C. Heard, and J. T. Corley. The meeting
was harmonious, and we think there will be no
trouble about raising the full subscription. We
meant to publish a full account, but space for¬
bids.
Col. Bob Hardeman, our popular state
treasurer, has purchased the interest of
the other legatees in the Murrell
homestead, in Oxford, and will make that
place his future home. He will remodel
the house, or build a new one, on tbe
most modern style of architecture, which
will make] the place one of the most
beautiful and desirable in this section. -
As the law requires him to make his
home at the capital during his term of
office, his son, Ulla, will reside at their
home in Oxford, and cultivate the farm.
Newton Superior Court began its session on
Monday evening, after the dedicatory exercises.
Judge Stewart’s charge to the grand jury was
plain, practical, pointed, and forcible. There
,s a good deal of business to transact, and the
outlook is that there will lie a lively two weeks’
court, if not an adjourned term. In addi¬
tion to our brillant local bar, there are several
visiting attorneys. They are, as we go to
press: Judge David A. Vason, of Albany,
Judge A. C- McCalla, of Conyers, Col. William
McHenry, of Madison, and Col. A. S. Florence,
of Social Circle.
