The Sunday edition of the New York World claims to have reached a circula tion of 235,000 copies. It wants a mil t; :ion. Candidates for the various county offices are hereby notified that they can get tick¬ ets for the primary election very cheap at the Star office. The Columbus Enquirer-Sun says the Georgia Midland railroad brought its first shipment of cotton into Columbus on Saturday, the 16th of October, 1886. The worst spell of sickness we have heard of lately is that spoken of by the Rut¬ ledge correspondent of the Daily Madi¬ sonian . He spells it “diptheory.” Six thousand miles of railroad track have been laid this year, and the work is still going op. The Star told you last year this was going to be a great railroad year. The rate of fire insurance is too high in Covington. It has been raised to the pres¬ ent rates by a combination of the differ¬ ent companies. The combination should be broken. Our carpenters have been so busy building new houses during the past few months, it has been almost an impossi¬ bility to get a small job of work done in that line. Those of our farmers who are able to get their wheat sowed before the fall rains set in, will be exceedingly fortunate. Wheat does much better when sown in dry weather When anything gels the matter with a cotton gin while it is running, it should be stopped before trying to fix it. This would prevent so many painful and .-t-rious accidents. Mr. John Dial died at. iris home, near Cedar Shoals, on last Sunday, ol typho m darial fever. He was about 37 years of u, and leaves a family. He was a clever, industrious, and good citizen, and his death is a sad loss to his family and friends. Peace to his ashes, Mayor Hillyer, of Atlanta, lias vetoed ftie ordinance adopted by the city coun¬ cil, a few weeks ago, allowing the Atlanta brew ery to deliver beer to families in that city. Tins leaves the old ordinance in force, prohibiting the delivery of beer liy the btewery. The Atlanta Journal seriously advo¬ cates the location of tlie state technologi¬ cal school in the Atlanta brewery build mg. Seriously sin h a thing is rediculous, unless tlie state intends to learn the boye how to make good beer : but as a joke, it will probably pass. There were two distinct shocks of earthquake about Covington on last Fri¬ day. The first was about 4 o’clock in the morning; and the latter about 2 o’clock in the afternoon. The latter was quite severe, and made the crockery rattle in many houses. It lasted only a few sec¬ onds. From sales of property made in Charles¬ ton, last week, it would seem that real estate is higher now in that city than it was before the earthquake. The Ravenel res¬ idence was sold at auction on Tuesday for $16,120, f>r which only $16,COO was offer¬ ed belore the late disturbance, and it will now require $6,000 more to put the place in comfortable repair, ...... For the information of our esteemed contemporary of the Daily Mad'sonian, the Star takes great pleasure in stating that the name of the new railroad is "Covington and Macon, R. R.” It is not ! “Macon and Covington,” neither is it . Macon and Athens, or < t Macon and Madison," but Covington comes first in the name everytiine, and don’t you fail to remember that, Brother Madisonian. The technological school has been lo¬ cated in Atlanta, just where the Star told you it would be, and we approve the action ofthe board in giving it to Atlanta. Macon would have been a good place for it, and came very near getting it But Milledgeville and Penfield were not ac cessible enough, while Athens was not a proper place for it Now that it has been located, we think that Atlanta and Macon were the only places bidding for it that ought to have had it Atlanta has got it and we are satisfied. From the Columbus Enquirer-Sun, of last week, we learn that Capt. Cowan, of the engineer corps, of the Georgia Mid¬ land railway, has completed the location ofthe road to McDonough, aad has gone to take charge ofthe preliminary survey of the Columbus and Florida railway, which is a new road to be built from Columbus. Work on the Georgia Mid¬ land is being pushed very rapidly, twenty miles of track being nearly ready for the cars. New passenger cars and a regular schedule will be put on in a few days. Personal Mention, The father of Gov. Gordon is 90. Mr. Frank Skinner, of Starrsville, has moved his family to Midway. Capt. Wimbish, of Louisiana, has arrived with a lot of hne horses. Gen. R. J. Henderson, has been in town with his old friends for several days. Col. Joe Whitehead, of Gainesville, was in town a short while on Thursday. Mr. O. T. Rogers, jr., of Atlanta, spent Sun¬ day with his friends in Covington. Mr. O. H. Tucker, of Midway, made a visit to Milledgeville, during last week. Mr. N. C. Carr, jr., and Mr. Frank Smith, of Atlanta, were in town on Sunday. Judge D. II. Walker, of Monroe, has been gone to Texas during the past week. Mr. Algie Clemmons and Mr. David Clay, of Logansville, spent Sunday in our city. Mr. Geo. T. Carr is moving his family to At¬ lanta, where they will hereafter reside. Mr. James M. Levy and his little son, Master Harry Levy, left for Macon on Monday. Miss Willie Conyers has returned home from a protracted visit to friends in Kentucky, Rev. S. A. Burney has resigned the pastor¬ ship of the Baptist church at Social Circle. Mr. T. G. Hyer, of Midway, has gone to Or¬ lando, Fla., where he will engage in business. Capt. G. M. Cunningham, of West Newton, visited his two daughters at Buckhead, a few days ago. Rev. R. J. Bigham preached on the subject of worldly amusements, at the Methodist church, on Sunday. Mr. H. S. McNair, of Conyers, has moved his family to Monticello, where they will hereaf¬ ter reside. Mr. O. T. Rogers will move his family to At¬ lanta, at an early day, where they will make their future home, Rev. J. M. Brittain, pastor, will preach at the Baptist church, next Sunday, which is the fifth Sabbath in October. Mr. Alf. C. Perry, of U. S. In. Rev. Collect¬ or’s office, in Atlanta, spent Sunday with his old friends in Covington. Mr. John VI. Farrill went to Monticello Monday, to assist in putting the roof on Kelly & Bros, new brick building. Mr, Brit. Rogers and Mr. Otis Pope, of the C. & M. R. R., came up from Monticllo, and spent Sunday in Covington. Everything is now attributed to prohibition in Atlanta. Even the buoyancy of the matri¬ monial market is attributed to it. Mr. Joseph Harris, who has been engaged in business at Rockmart, for several months past, has returned to Covington, and is now with W. C. Clark & Co. The editor of the Greenesboro Herald is of¬ fering his old overcoat for sale, When an edi tor offers “to sell the coat off his back,” you may just bet “it means something." Mr. L. W. Livingston, of Oak Hill, was married to Miss Carrie Elder, a charming young lady of Sunnyside, on Wednesday, October 20, 1886. The Star wishes for them a long life of wedded happiness. A well known widower ef Newton county, who lives in less than a thousand miles of Cov¬ ington, has bought a fine new buggy and a hand¬ some suit of new clothes, and now the knowing ones say his action “must mean something." And we rather think it does. !•* Several very valuable dogs were reck¬ lessly shot and killed about Covington, during the past week. That was all w rong. President Cleveland and his cabinet visited the state fitir, in Richmond, on last Thursday, and received a cordial and hearty Old Virginia welcome. Several parties who came in from the country, last week, reported to the Star that if rain didn’t come pretty soon, the roads leading to Covington would be¬ come—dusty. A correspondent, who made an in¬ vestigation of the matter, says Atlanta received 127 jugs from one house in Grif¬ fin, in one day, during last week, and they were all loaded. An excursion was run out from Macon to Clinton, over, the Covington and Ma con railrotd, on Sunday. A regular sched ule went into effect on Monday, and now passenger trains wili be run regularly be¬ tween Macon and Clinton. Tickets for the congressional election can be had [free of cost) by calling on Judee E. F. Edwards, at the ordinary’s office in the court house. Parties from the country are requested to call on him and carry them out to their respective precincts. They are for Judge Stewart. The supreme court has decided that the whisky licenses issued by the clerk of the board of county commissioners for Fulton county are void, and the parties using them are liable to punishment under the prohibition law. It seems there were several such licenses issued by the clerk, without the knowledge or consent ofthe commissioners. They had all expir¬ ed by limitation except the one held by T. C. Mayson, and he has closed under this decision, Atlanta is now emphatically a prohibition tow n, as the last saloon has been closed. A $20 Holiday Prize.

Montgom try, deceased, will sell about 600 acres of land belonging to Mr. Montgomery’s estate The lands are situated in Brick Store and HayFdis tricts of Newton county, and are regarded as among the finest and most desirable fanning lands in this section. The lands are well im¬ proved, well watered and timbered, and will he sold in lots of from 30 to 150 acres each. The sale will take place before the court house door in Covington, and the terms will be one half cash, and the remainder in 12 months. Those wishing to buy good farming lands, would do well to be on hand at the sale. Death of Mr. George P. Bunks, Mr. George P. Banks, SOU of Mr. P. E. Banks, died suddenly ut his home, three miles south of Covington, on Thursday evening, Oct 21, 1886, aged ab dit 26 years. He was a cleyer ai d genial young man, of steady and Industrious habits, and was generally beloved and esteemed by all who knew him. He was not male ried, but was boarding with the family of Mr, Moore, who was a tenant on liis place. His remains were laid to rest on Friday evening, and were escorted to the grave by a large concourse of Mends, who had known him and ioved him in life. Peace to his ashes. An Industrious Little Boy. Master Harry Levy, the little 13-year old son of Postmaster J. M. Levy, of Covington, has made a heavy bale and a half of cotton on ij acres of land, the present year. On Thursday last he sold one bale, weighing 566 pounds, which brought him nearly $50, at the present low price, and he still has half a bale to sell yet. fie has done all the work of raising the cotton himself, besides doing a great deal of other work. After selling his bale on Thursday, he paid for his guano, rent, and other expenses, which were about $15, purchased himself a handsome suit of clothes, and then had plenty of money left to pay his expenses to the state fair at Macon, where he is now gone with his father to spend several days. Now, where is the little boy that can make a better showing than this, from an acre and a half of land ? A Valuable Invention. Mr. W. R. Powell, the watchmaker and jeweler, who occupies an upper room in the Star building, has been engaged during the past two months in the construction of a model of a very valuable and important piece of machinery, which is the invention of Mr. Charles A. Launius, a very intelligent young gentleman of Morgan county, The device or machine is called a “Power Transmitter,” and, it is claimed, wili increase the power by which it is operated from 400 to 800 per cent., or, in other words, when this machine is driven by a 2-horse power engine, it will increase the power to an g-horse or 12-horse power. The machine is fully covered by letters pat- 1 nt, which were issued Aug. 24, 1S86. T he mod¬ el just completed by Mr. Powell wili be placed on exhibition at the state fair in Macon to-d.iv. The ntodel is a very small affair; and is made simply to show the principle of the invention Lt is about six inches square, is made of polished brass, and is a very handsome piece of work, which reflects much credit upon Mr. Powell’s mechanical skill. The principle upon which the operating power of the machine is increased, is that of “leverage." The power that operates it works a lever, and the lever gives the increased power, the increase of the driving power being only dependent upon the length of the lever. The machine is constructed simply with four upright or corner pieces, and two connecting cross-beams at the top and bottom. Inside of this frame are two upright pieces, one at each side, which are attached to the upper and lower cross-beams, Between these uprights is a sash, or frame, to which the end of the lever is at¬ tached, and as it is operated, the sash is moved up and down in grooves in the uprights, giving power to a cage-wheel attached to a shaft in the centre. A number of ratchet-teeth are inser ted in the upright posts of the sash, those on one side projecting upward, and those on the other side projecting downward, thus operating on the cage-wheel on the shaft at each upward and downward movement of the sash, thereby giving it a continuous forward movement, At the end ofthe shaft, on the outside of the frame, is the band wheel for driving other machinery. The sash being thus operated by “leverage,” conveys greater power than is required to oper¬ ate the lever, and gives promise that the inven¬ tion will prove to be all that is claimed for it. Should it prove to be a success, it will be one of the most valuable inventions of our pr esent wonderful age. A Run on a Drug Store.

Any person wishing to buy a piano, as good as new, of the latest style, full 7£ octave, can secure a bargain by calling on James F. Rogers, attorney at law, Coving. ton, Ga. We might simply state the fact that it ' 8 awful dry and dusty in these parts, and rain has been badly needed for about 80 days—fbaug, bang 1—it uever hit usj—but then—we wou’t.

Mr. Ellington is well known to the people of our county, and if elec¬ ted, he will discharge the duties of the of¬ fice satisfactorily to all. Mr. James C. Blaine, the late repub! • can candidate for president of the United States, has hoisted the bloody shirt ban¬ ner, and is marching through Penn¬ sylvania, waving it aloft, and misrepre¬ senting the south in the most stalwart manner. It is a pity some one don’t in¬ form him the war is over, and his “re¬ marks" are out of order. Purely the gen¬ tleman has not heard the news. It is related of a well known Macon man, that he recently went to Griffin and attended church witli a young lady on whom tie w. s very sweet. When the contribution box started out on its rounds, the young man took a five dollar gold piece out of his vest pocket and dis¬ played it in such a way that the young lady saw it. Site mildly rebuked him for his extravagance, but he said he contributed that much, especially when in strange churches. Watching his lie slipped the gold coin into his pocket and slyly took out a silver quarter which he as slyly dropped in the box when it reached him. This fixed the impression on the young lady that her beau was generous and held the in high e teem. At the close of services, as was the custom of tho tiie amount in the box waB an¬ nounced. The total was $3.75. Griffiu has no charms for the young man now.— [Macon Telegraph.

Thousands have used it on their roofs of every kind, and have found it all that is claimed for it. It is known as W. Jay McDonald’s Combined Fire and WaterProof CEMENT Paint It in no humbttjr, swindle, or take-in to get to sell the territory, or to sell the Paint. It is ready for you to test it, and know what it is. befori you use’st on your roofs. W. Jay MeDe.nald, of Galuesvlile, has been for over 1;! years consolidating a Fire Proof aud Water Proof with a Cement or Elastic body, which is so badly needed on Shingle, roofs, Metal roofs, Cloth roofs, Paper roofs and Gravel roofs ; also on Brick walls, Brick pillars, Brick chimneys and for Wagons. PioW Stocks and for everything of the kind. Because the lore Proof is tlid master of ail sparks or coals of fire. The Waterproof is Impervious to water and keeps it out of timber or In irk. and of course preserves them from rotting, freezing, or sealing oil. Also preserves metal from rust, and makes them all last twice as long as they would without it. The Cement completely stops all small holes or leaks in any kind , f roofs, and leaves it thoroughly Cemented, with a nice slate finish on any roof. The Elastic body will contract and expand with ail metal without breaking or sealing off like other paints so soon. The acti m of water does not affect it likeitdcC:; otli-rpaiifis. This grand discovery was made and patented May 21th. 1R'«2. and thousands ol the people of Georgia hsve been using it and find it the only Paixt compound in world !hc.t contains even one of tl.esa great merits. Mr. McDonald commenced the 17thof October, IK,-’, to serve the people of Gainesville. Ga., with his discovery, and tha first month's patronage paid him a clear profit of |22<186. He has been his paints in many of the different states, since then, and can give any references desired, He had his office in Atlanta, (27 >; North Broad, Street.) ior tv. e years i nd has doin' thousands of dollars of work, and has sold over $15,000 worth of lerritory In county and state rights, v. ftli and with¬ the rfgbt to manufacture the Paint. It has proven tube a good fortune for him, and to those who have bought county and state rights and worked them. Ife has sold to many who had not made in twelve months belore. who have made good home* and arc still at work. Mr. Me!) maid will sell county rights aud take good notes, on long time, sons to allow the purchaser make the money belore he pays a dollar, after the first small payment. There is an opening for man who wants to rnako money easy and fast, because tile people will have It. aud cannot afford do without it on their roofs. Bead wliat is said by a few who have used it, and seen it tested Look into It and don’t use it until are thoroughly convinced that I mean just what I say. andean prove it ail. But be sure you let have a chance to do so. ft docs not require an expert to apply It. Any one who has sense onon .h to scour a floor can put it a roof I defy the world to equal it, or to even imitate It in merits, and all that I ask is to allow me match test, to prove all I claim for it.
