Work on the various new dwelling houses about town is progressing rapidly [this beautilul weather. ’Possums are said to be unusually fat this season, and the colored hunters are beginning to gather them. in. The Methodist parsonage will be located on Monticello street, just south of the residence of Mrs. Dr. Bates. There were 44 more votes cast in the late primary in Newton county than there were in the election pn Wednesday. The total vote of Newton county on Wednesday was only 775, or about one third of the entire vote of the county. This may not be considered a 6 haky country, yet it required 81 tons of quinine fo supply the demand for that article last year. The Star is sent to no one free of cost, hut all who take it are expected to “give something this in return.” All should bear in mind. Notice to my Friends and Customers. I have returned home, and can now be found at my office in the court house, or °n the streets of Covington, ready to wait on my friends at all times.

Be sure to attend the ppening of the state fair on the 25th inst The methodists are petting ready to be¬ gin work on their parsonage. Mr. K. W. Bagby will soon have his new brick elore house finished. Xo country paper in the state gives more good reading matter than the S TAB. Emory college opens its fall session to¬ day, and the boys are already coming in by every trjjn. The pendulum of public opinion is al¬ ready swinging backward iu the capital city. Thus we go. If there ja any one thing more than another that goes against the farmer’s grain, it is—a reaper. Vacant houses are a very rare thing about Covington. In fact, there are no vacant dwelling houses here. Wiggins did not affect the politics of Newton county. It is now about as solid as the “Piedmont escarpment” Emory college expects a large number of students in the technological depart¬ ment, during the coming term. The Atlanta brewery -an now deliver beer to families in that city without fall¬ ing under the ban of prohibition. The man who votes must pay taxes. In pther words you must pay your taxes before you can vote. This is the law-. Col. Bob Hardeman's new residence in Oxford is about completed. It is the fin¬ est residence in our classic neighbor. The apples are generally rotten about the core, which is said to have been caused by the severe cold weather of last spring. This is the season for giD house acci¬ dents, ar.d those who are engaged in gin¬ ning should be very careful to prevent them. The cotton brought to this market the present, season is very fine. It is a pity our farmers cannot realize a better price for it. Mr. A. J. Blantpn, an old and respect¬ ed citizen of West Newton, died at his home in Oak 11 ill district, last Wednesday morning. The barn belonging to Mr. George Henderson, of Hays' district, was burned last week, together with all of his fodder and hay. Tho gin house belonging to Mr. Reuben Aaron, of this county, was destroyed by tire, on Wednesday night, together with a considerable amount- of cottop. Two prisoners were taken from Coving¬ ton jail, last week, and carried to the chain-gang, near Atlanta. They were both convicted and sentenced at the late term of our superior court. Esquire Harry Camp says he was a 1 candidate for his health, and gained 12 pounds during the campaign. The Star wishes him continued good health in his advancing years, and hopes he may live long and grow wiser. Newton county will have fully 25 candi¬ dates for the various county offices, who will risk (heir fortunes in the coming primary election on the 27th of Novem¬ ber. The Star regrets it cannot furnish them all with a good office. Mr. W. T. Patrick's gin house caught on fire one evening last week, but was fortunately extinguished, before it got un¬ der full headway. The condenser was badly injured, and some cotton was burn ed. The loss was otherwise very slight. Don’t forget the Star when you bring in your cotton. If you are a subscriber, come in and renew ypiir subscription; if you are not a subscriber, call in and subscribe. You cannot afford to do with¬ out the paper. It is cheap enough tor ail to take it. Pike county is one of the early prohi¬ bition counties of the state. At the late election it was made an issue, and the anti-prohibition candidates for the legisla¬ ture were elected. And so the pendulum of public seqtiment takes a backward swing in good old Pike. That makes two. Which is the next? Families in Atlanta can now get their beer without going out to the saloons. The city council, last week, passed an amendatory ordinance, allowing the At¬ lanta brewery to deliver beer to families in that city, without hindrance. There is nothing wrong about that, only it looks a little like the council had weakened a good deal since prohibition was adopted. Human nature and human practices are pretty much the same the world over, when Heqce. you come like .t°, the a honest h a *y z ® them. we are Mikado’s Japanese officials, we want the name of every citizen on our (subscrip' tion,) list.

Also get your neighbor to have his name put on our list. Personal Mention. Mary Anderson is 28 . Mrs. Franklin Wright has returned Elberton. Mr. Joe Morgan spent several days in Atlanta, last week. Mr. Joe P. Anderson is traveling in Alabama this week. Col. A. B. Simms has gone to his plantation near Chattanooga. Miss EvaSelman, of Monroe, is attending school in Atlanta. Mr. Franklin Wright made a dying trip to Elberton, last week. Mrs. W. B. Lee has gone to spend / month at her old home iu Tennessee. Wiggins parts his hair in the middle. That accounts for the whole business. Genial “Dickens” Hightower has been down to Birmingham, during the week. Miss Lina Branham, of Oxford, has been spending a short visit at Kirkwood. Dr. fitts has leased the Stephenson house for five years, and will run that popular hotel. Mrs. J. T. Corley visited her daughter, Mrs. R. H. Buchanan, at Jonesboro, last week. Miss Della Bryans, of Conyers, has been vis¬ iting relatives in Midway, during the week. Mr. Zack Anderson has moved his family to Covington, and now resides with his mother. Miss Lizzie Gibbs, of Monroe, has been visit¬ ing friends in Atlanta, during the past week. A little girl defines a smile as “the whisper a laugh.” Could you give a better defiinition ? Clever Hugh Hargrove, of Starrsville, made a run up into Sheffield, during the past week. Miss Genie Patrick, of Social Circle, has re¬ turned home from a protracted visit to friends at Eastman. Judge S. C. Burson, of Walton county, was married to Mrs. H. L. Fo\yler of Atlanta, one day last week. Mr. Joseph Harris, of Rockmart, ran in on his friends and spent Monday night in Coving¬ ton. He is looking well. Miss Bessie Butler, one of Madison’s popular young ladies, has been visiting friends in Con¬ yers for several days past. Col. James F. Rogers has moved to his'ele gant new home, recently purchased from Mr. John P. Harris, on Alcova street. Miss Blanche Strickland, a popular young lady of Monroe, has gone to spend the winter with relatives in the capital city. Miss Minnie Powell, a charming and popular young lady of Lithonia, is spending a few days in our city, the guest of Miss Annie Shepherd. Col. Bob Hardeman, our clever and popular state treasurer, wa$ in town on Wednesday, and voted the regular ticket from top to bottom. Mrs. Walter Newton and her daughter, Miss Della Newton, of Social Circle, have returned home from an extensive trip to the Lone Star State. Miss Beulah Turner, one of Conyers’ most cultured young ladies, will be joined in marriage to Mr. Samuel C. Stovall, of the Air Line rail¬ road, today. ‘All I wan* is a single heart,’' is what a young lady poet writes us. From this we are led to infer she is drawing to a full hand, and only wants an “ace.” Mrs. Newton Anderson and her grand daugh¬ ter, Miss Sammie Johnson, will leave to-morrow for Orlando, Florida, where they will probably spend the winter. Editors Gantt, of the. Athens Banner-Watchv man, and Knowles, of the Greenesboro Home Journal, have been taking in the beauties of the Nacoochee Valley. Mrs. W. R. Branham and her danghter, Miss Lina Branham, of Oxford, who have been so¬ journing in the Indian Territory during the past summer, have returned home. Miss Callie Stewart, the accomplished daughter of Mr. J. S. Stewart, of Oxford, who has been seriously ill with fever for nearly a month past, is convalescing, much to the delight of her many friends. Mr. G. W. Hawkins, of Atlanta, was married to Miss V. A. Dempsey, at the home of the bride, near the Georgia railroad in Rockdale county, on Thursday night, by Elder Isaac Hamby. They went up to Atlanta on the ac commodation train Friday morning. Rev. N. Keff Smith, pastor of the Third Presbyterian church of Atlanta, is assist¬ ing the Rev. Mr. Quigg in conducting a series of very interesting meetings at the Presby¬ terian church in Covington. He is an able and popular divine, and we tiust his labors here may result in much good. Mr. Charlie Cook, one of our popular young merchants, was married to Miss Cornelia Perry, at the residence of Dr. Gay, in Lithonia, by Rev. J. M. Brittain, on Wednesday evening, October 6 1886 . The happy couple came down , on the accommodation train, the same evening, and were met by a large number of their friends, who extended hearty congratulations. They are boarding at the Stephenson house. Hon. O. S. Porter returned Sunday morning from a visit to Athens, Penfield, Macon, and other points bidding for the location of the tech no logical school, in company with the technologi¬ cal board. They did not get through with their examination of the properties offered, and Mr. Porter left for Atlanta on yesterday, where the board is to finish its work, and decide upon the location of the school, Quite a number of our people went up to Atlanta to—see the show. Be sure that yon attend the state fair, and take along something to place on ex¬ hibition. A negro man named Joe Baldwin, who is employed on Dr. Bearing’s place, was thrown from a wagon, on Midway Avenue, near Mr. Fowler’s steam mill, last Wed¬ nesday evening, and painfully bruis ed. He was driving Dr. Dearing’s horse, and had abate of cotton in the wagon. The horse ran away, and smashed both hind wheels of the wagon as he turned the corner at Mr. Geo. Carr’s. The Madisonian tells of a negro man who Wilg standing on the sidewalk in frQnt Qf >;r p S. Burney’s store, in one d*v last week, when all of a 8a( jdea the negro sank into tiie bard \ Jewaik up to his knees There was no . tliere before, and no one supposed that g „ c b a thing could tqssibly happen, T ^ e negr o man was not materially hurt b the acc ident, but was awfully place frigbt e ned, and made tracks from the as rapidly as his feet could carry him. October is the most delightful month in the year. The dust is not like a great many poli¬ ticians ; it don’t “lie.” Covington is now receiving from 250 to 350 bales of cotton per day. Atlanta pays $1(50,000 interest on her public debt, per annum. Gardens are generally very poor, and greens are getting mighty “scaee.” One bale of cotton per week is pretty good picking for the average cotton picker. Pay up your back dues to the Star, and get your subscription next year for oue dollar. The Atlanta Presbytery was in session last week, at Bethany church, in Oak Hill district. Mr. W. G. Brown, of Conyers, lias moved his family to Camak, where they will hereafter reside. The Solid South says that Conyers has received 2,000 bales of cotton up to the present date. Pretty good receipts. All public officials should be paid a reasonable salary for their services, but the perquisites should be_abqlished. Cummings, the negro candidate for the legislature in Morgan county, received only four votes iu the election last Wed¬ nesday. Dr. Gibson and wife, living near Cora, have just recovered from a severe spell of sickness. Their many friends will be glad to hear of their recovery. It was a mighty lucky hit for an Atlan¬ ta young lady to find a silver quarter in a can of oysters. It will sell lots of cans, and maybe the girls will set ’em up. You must not forget that the Star still maintains that the Covington and Macon and the Georgia Midland railroads will both be built to Covington before a great while. The artesian water got a severe backet in Atlanta the other night. The city council passed an ordinance allowing the brewery to deliver beer to families in that citv. Tiie vote on last Wednesday was a verv light one, and can only be accounted for in one or two ways, The people were either too indifferent or too busy to turn out and vote. The Georgia railroad will pay the usual quarterly dividend of $2.50 per share of the capital stock of the company, at Augusta, to-day. This is now the best paying stock in the whole country. It seems that a negro named White was run for governor, in McIntosh county, and received more votes than Gen. Gor¬ don, the vote being for White, 289; for Gen. Gordon, 286. Hon. James M. Smith, of Oglethorpe county, has moved a squad of his convicts down on the Covington & Macon rail¬ road between Monticello and Madison, and put them to grading the road to Madison. Twelve miles of track have been laid on the Georgia Midland railroad, and 50 miles of the grading has been completed. As soon as the iron bridge can be put up over Bull Creek, the track laying will be pushed ahead rapidly. Mr. George Stone, the blind man of Ox¬ ford, will gather between 40 and 50 bales of cotton the present season. He also has a broom factory, which he manages profitably and successfully. How many young men with two good eyes can make a better showing than George ? The license of Mr. J. P. Sigman expired on Saturday night, and he has closed his business in Covington. On Monday he shipped his goods to Rutledge, and left himself on yesterday for the same place, where he will engage in business at once. Mr. Sigman is a steady, worthy and clever young man, and’we regret to lose him, or any other of our business men, from our city, and the Star wishes him success in his new home. It is estimated there are over 370,000 drummers in the United States, and Mr. Geo. C. Davis says if they will all go with¬ out their supper for just one night, and give him the half dollar which their sup¬ pers would cost, he will retire from the road, and let them have the field all to themselves. George has already made a pretty good fortune, and it would be a deserved compliment to have his brother “tourists” fast one night for his benefit. As a friend to George, the Star hopes the drummers will do it. An Irishman was asked for his mar riage certficate. Ile lifted his hat, re vealing a large scar on the head, evident¬ ly made by a flat iron, This evidence was to the point.

The negro man who was shot at Wal¬ nut Grove, on last Saturday night week, mention of which was made in the Star last week, has since died. He is reported to hsve been shot by Dr. Swords in self defense. The ballot box must be kept pure. The payment of taxes is a qualification neces¬ sary to enable a “sovereign" to vote. No one is entitled to exercise his elective franchise without this qualification. Voters should remember tin* and save themselves trouble. Mr. W. W. Osborn says he will make over 2,500 pounds of lint cotton on eight acres, after paying toll. He has already gathered over three bales, and hag two more iu the patch. That is a good yield and is hard to beat in this county. Wiley is a hard worker, and we are glad to note his success. The election on last Wednesday passed off very quietly all over the state, and but little interest was taken in the matter as a general rule. The fact is, the people are tired of elections, and prefer, when let alone by the politicians, to attend to their own affairs rather than be running to the polls to vote. An effort is being made to organize an assembly or lodge of Knights of Labor in Covington. The Star wishes them well, and hopes the order may prove a benefit to the laboring man everywhere, as well as the capitalist; but as we are all labor¬ ing people in this section, we fear it will not prove as great a benefit as is an¬ ticipated. Officers of the Georgia Midland and Gulf railroad were in McDonough, last week, taking notes for the subscriptions made to the road at that place. The amount of subscriptions asked for was $15,000, and has all been subscribed, and the company is taking notes for the same. The road will now be built to McDonough insiead of Locust Grove. It now remains for Covington to “induce” it to come on here. We cannot afford to have it go anywhere else, no matter what ; l t costs. Mr. James T. Corley was taken sud¬ denly ill with bilious colie, on Saturday afternoon, while on the streets, and was carried into the store of Messrs. Corley & Peek, and a physician summoned to at¬ tend him. Dr. Griffin responded prompt¬ ly, and succeeded in relieving him suf¬ ficiently to be carried home late in the evening. He was very sick until after 10 o’clock but was able to sleep the balance of the night. Sunday he was much improved, and on Monday was able to be out. The Star (rusts he may long be free from such attacks in the future. Mr. Frank Reese, the train man, who was killed by the cars of the up through freight, at Madison, on last Monday night, was fearfully mangled by the ruthless car wheels as (hey passed ovor.his helpless body. He lived only about 30 minutes after being run over; and although lie was frightfully torn and crushed, he retained his consciousness to the last, and stated to his friends that in attempting to climb on top of one of tho cars lie lost his foot¬ hold and fell to the track, and was crush¬ ed to death by the car weels passing over his body. His home was in Augusta. Cluverius, the young man who has been convicted of the murder of Fannie Lillian Madison, at Richmond, Va.,has been rc-sentenced to be hanged, and the lOlh of December has been fixed as the time for his execution. We still belive he ought to have had a new trial, judging from the evidence as published in the newspapers. Our theory of the case has always been that Miss Madison commit¬ ted suicide, but under such circumstances as to lead to the belief that she was mur¬ dered by Cluverius. He was convicted solely upon circumstantial evidence, and ought not to be hung. No man ought to be hanged on circumstantial evidence. A most thrilling incident occurred at Doraville a few days ago. A little girl fell into a well where the water was four feet deep. Her mother was hunting the child at the time the accident occurred, and fortunately happened to see her as she fell. She was almost paralyzed with fright, aud for a moment hardly knew what to do. But in an instant her reso¬ lution was aroused, and rushing to the well she caught hold of the rope and slid down before the child was drowned. It was unconscious, and required her utmost exertion to revive it, which she did by holding it out of the water and shaking it. The water was waist deep, and the mother and child had to remain in the well until the father came home to dinner, which was two hours, when he rescued them. The child was soon all right but the brave mother broke down, after being rescued, critical and has since been in a very condition. These are Solid Facts.

Judge Lynch’s court seems to be doing pretty lively business throughout the There were several executions his order, during the past week.
