A Covington darkey is said to have
struck it rich in Birmingham real estate.
He went down ihere a few years ago,
and bought a lot some distance nut, for
about $75. The city haa since built up
all around his lot, and lie lias refused an

On next Friday, which is the 4th of

another four years in the national exec¬

right man in the right place. Let him

Judge Boynton informed us, last week,
that nearly 500 hands were now at work
grading the Ga. Midland R. R. between
Griffin and McDonough. The managers
say they will have the cars running from
Columbus to McDonough by the first of
May. That will be very rapid railroad
building, and shows what money can
accomplish. We will be glad to see the
work of extending the road to Coyington
commenced.
It now appears to be certain that John
Inman wanted the Covington and Ma¬
con railroad built to Athens, but was in
favor of its being built by way of Cov¬
ington, instead of Madison. It is at
least reasonable that he wanted it built
to Covington according to the original
plan. Covington has been greatly
wronged in this matter, and we hope to
see her righted soon, and the road built
to this place, as it ought to have been
done at first.

On last Thursday congress sustained
the president’s veto of the infamous
pauper pension bill, by a vote of 175 to
125. It required a two-thirds vote to
pass it over the veto, and it lacked 25

is the best thing congress has done the
present session, though it deserves bnt
little credit for it, as it came so near
becoming a law. We are glad the pres
ident had the honesty and nerve to dis
approve the bill. It is a consolation to
know he is determined to do right, let
the consequences be what they may.

One of our Best Boys.
Emory Hyer was bom June io, 1876, and
died Feb. 10, 1887, aged eleven years and
eight months.
He was a remarkable boy ; of noble, hand¬
some countenance and manly form, in stature
appearing several years older than he really
was ; of gentle, earnest manner, amiable and
sweet spirited : a true heart of great promise.
Unusually quiet and modest, only close ac¬
quaintance revealed the depth and beauty of
his mind and character.
From early childhood a member of our Sab¬
bath school class, and for three terms under
our daily observation at school, we knew Em¬
ory well, and speak confidently of his many vir¬
tues. His lessons were well prepatcd both
for the school-room and for Sabbath school,
and when from any cause he had not oppor¬
tunity for such preparation, he seemed embar¬
rassed at the thought of it, yet gave only the
more earnest attention to the subject on hand.
His aims for himself were high, and he was
mortified deeply when he did not excel, ami
his big, blue eyes often filled with tears when
he feLt that perhaps he had omitted some du¬
ty. He read well, spelled correctly, was fond
of History, wrote and read simple Latin with
ease, and exceled in Arithmetic and Algebra.
At ten years of age, with the sweet simplicity
of a child of six years, he could comprehend
with the intellect of a man, grasping, in a mo¬
ment, principles that might tax other minds.
His figures aad penmanship were as those
of an experienced book-keeper.
A lady-friend and neighbor of his said of
him, several months ago : “Is not Emory
Hyer the best and most gifted boy you ever
saw ?’’
He was universally beloved at school ; boys
and girls alike honored his opinions.
Emory was constant in his polite and kind
attention to the , girls of , the , school, , and , , he was j
a safe guide and a pleasant friend to the little
boys.
He perpetrated no jokes upon them, noth¬
ing rude or uncomely met his approval.
Not only had he the love of the entire
school, but be was also the peace maker ;—
his teacher having reason to thank him, more
than once, for warding off blows and settling
incipient quarrels between boys older than
himself which might have resulted seriously
but for his gentle interposition.
“Blessed are the peace-makers for they
shall be called the children of God.”
Emory loved everything that was good and
beautiful.
Instead of enjoying slate caricatures with
other boys, he preferred to copy flowers during
his leisure moments. Do you not see even in
this a glimpse of the beauty and purity of his
heart ?
We will miss the wild violets which he used
to gather for us ia the early mornings.
Who else can so beautifully put upon the
blackboard the songs he copied for us to sing
at school ?
He was glad when he could give a helping
hand to any one. We believe that Emory was j
truly spiritually minded.
Daring the personal application of the Sab
bath school lessons, which many dread and few
enjoy, he often gave responses that gladdened
the heart of his teacher and caused her to hope
for the time, when exchanging places, she
could learn from bis ministry.
We regret that he had not united with the
church, which he fully intended to do, consider¬
ing himsalf at already identified with its inter¬
ests, having been baptized in infancy and
carefully trained at home to know and love
the Lord.
Had God kept Emory here he would doubt¬
less have made an honored name.
God may have had a greater work Jot him
to do in another world, and He does all things
well.
While we weep for him, we thank God that
he was a good boy, and pray that his example
may rest as a sacred benediction upon our j
hearts until we aU meet again in “The Sweet
