Isa boom a craze, and, if so, why not 7 Dellaven’a circus will exhibit in Con-* vers to-day. The man who can’t find anything to do, is afraid lie will. Savannah is the only Georgia city in the southern league this season. Covington is now well supplied with livery stables. She has three good ones. As we are having a new moon, you can now plant your potatoes on the “increase.” It is now proper for us to advise the planting of small crops of guano, and large crops of corn. Mr. J. W. Stephenson, we are glad to state, is fast recovering from a severe attack of rheumatism. Mrs. Cox is having her hotel nicely painted throughout, which gives it a fresh and neat appearance. The Georgia Press Association will probably invade Cuba on a rollicking vksursion, about the middle of April. The prayer meeting, in Midway, will be held at the residence of Mr. John Allen, next Friday night. Let all attend. Our superior court meets on the third Monday in this month, and will be here before you k*now it, if you ain’t mighty careful. A general passenger and freight agent of the Covington and Macon railroad has been appointed. We don’t know what he has to d yet. The washerwomen of Atlanta have to sue out laborer’s liens upon the cloth¬ ing of some of their customers before they can get pay for their washing. It may be that a man can love but one woman in a lifetime, but if he doesn’t get married too early he can have lots of fun trying to find out which woman it •s that he can love. The pupils and teachers of the Geor¬ gia Methodist Female College walked over to Oxford, on Friday evening, to witness the senior class tree planting exercises. It was a good walk. We are pained to learn that our old friend, Judge Terrell, of Midway, has been oa the sick list for some time past. M’e hope, however this noble old gentle¬ man will soon regain his usual good health, 'i'b#- weaves are quite prevalent about our city. Next week will do for planting com if you are ready for it. Washington’s birthday was not ob¬ served as a holiday in Covington. The Central railroad is building a line of road from Columbus to Birmingham. Our new iron bridge is completed, and “il takes the eye M of everyone who passes. A great many sudden deaths have oc cur red in this section, during the past few weeks. Deputy-sheriff Carroll has rented the Summers’ residence, in Midway, and will move into it to-day. The nights were so dark, last week, that a large number of black cats were lost in the Egyptian blackness. Covington has a good working assem¬ bly of Knights of Labor, which is in¬ creasing in numbers at each meeting. DeHaven’s circus gave onr city the go¬ by, because they could not get a vacant lot at the depot upon which to show. A small building lot on Midway avenue is held by its owner to be worth $500. This shows there is no deprecia¬ tion in Covington dirt. The young oats are looking well in this section, and the crop promises to be averyfine one, the present year, if noth¬ ing happens to them after this. It now requires over 15,000 pounds of white paper to print one issue of the Atlanta Weekly Constitution, which costs about $800, while the postage amounts to over $150. Courting a girl is like starting a news¬ paper. It starts out a weekly, then it becomes a tri-weekly, then merges into a daily. If it has any enterprise it comes out with an extra occasionally. Cheap schools necessitate cheap teach¬ ers; and cheap teaching fosters ignor¬ ance by lowering the standard of edu¬ cation, and degrading the social and intellectual ranks of any community. Mr. John W. Lamar, of Savannah, who was a student at the State Univer¬ sity at Athens, died in a sleeping ear, while on his way to Savannah, last week. He died of rheumatism of the h art. An Atlanta “detective" can walk along Hie streets and spot a man a hundred yards who has a bottle of whisky con¬ cealed in Iris pocket. In fact, an Atlan¬ ta detec ive is a very smart citizen.—a real jumbo, as it were. A report is going the rounds that Rev. Sam Jones received $19,000 for n month’s service in Boston. We don’t know whether it is true or not. We hope it is. The Bostonians hare fre¬ quently been said to have more money than brains. We learn from t lie News that thc Walton hotel, at Monroe, is weil ized. Our Covington hotels are well kept and well patronized, but we need a tine brick hotel as a winter and sum mer resort. Let us build it this sura tncr. We will subscribe. Rev. J. D. Gray, who was presiding elder of the Oxford district for several years, died at Hawthorne, Florida, of ab-css of the lungs, Monday, Feb. 21, 1887,' aged 34 years, lie was a brother of Dr. James A. Gray, of Atlanta, and leaves a wife and five children. His re¬ mains were buried in Oxferd on last Thursday. The Star invites correspondence upon all questions of public interest from our citizens.

Gninnsch iek en house recently, and carried off nearly all of his fine fowls. He has now got his double barrel shot gun and long barrel navy leveled upon the'chicken house, with arrangements for firing, when they come again ; and so you may expect to hear of a dead --coon or chicken thief---being found in liis yard any morning.

Dr- Bull’s Cough Syrup. Augusta is mighty anxious to have a splendid modern hotel built upon the site of the old Globe, and we hope she will get it. The owner of the property seems to be ready to rebuild if he can get the right kind of encouragement from the people of Augusta- And he exactly right about that. Fine hotels cost a great deal of money, enhance the value of all the ing property more than anything eke will do and yet they, pay their less than cheaper property would We hope to see a fine hotel built upon the site of the old Globe, as needs it. ifilMi Mi Covington can now boast of a number of “chicken fanciers. >» Chickens and eggs always command a good price in Covington, Mr. H. C. Hill is making a live and interesting paper of the Montlcello News. The guano and time-provision sales are now the liveliest business in Cov¬ ington. Star Lodge, I. O. O. F., will meet at “Star Hall," next Tuesday evening, at 7 o’clock. Judge Henderson, the state commis¬ sioner of agriculture, has our thanks for a package of fresh garden seed. The people of Walton county are now engaged in a very lively discussion of the county court question. Messrs. Owens & Warren have open¬ ed a livery stable in the brick ware¬ house, formerly occupied by Usher <t Hightower. Eight candidates for tax collector have already materialized in Newton county. This shows how patriotic our people are getting to be. An Augusta man is said to have pock¬ eted from $60,000 to $100,000 in cool cash, by his fortunate speculation in Birmingham real estate. The Mexican veterans from this coun¬ ty are nearly all entitled to the pension allowed under the Mexican pension bill recently pasted by congress. The old,building, corner of Norton and Kennon streets, occupied by Mr. Lewis Freeland, as a wagon shop, was con¬ demned as a nuisance by the old coun¬ cil, last fall, and was ordered removed. It is a dangerous building, and ought to be torn down at once. Florence Williamson, a well known colored man, died in Atlanta, last week, of consumption, aad his remains were brought to Covington for burial. Flor¬ ence was a most worthy and reliable colored man, and was for many years employed as a porter at the Cox hotel, in our city. 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 offer of $5 ',COO for it, At least that is the report we hear from him. A rumor has recently come to the Star, like the gentle “soiling” of a pine forest when the west winds blow, which says will that t He Covington A Macon R. K. j come to CovingtonIrt a very short i w hilo. The Georgia Midland will also 1 come here, am! ga hence to the Air Line or $0 Athens. IVait patiently, now, and see if they don’t. By reference to our reading columns it will be seen that Hon., Wilson L. Davis has permitted his. name to be placed before tb# people as a candidate j for tax collector of Newton comity, at the election on the 2Sth of March, ! Every voter in the county knows Major Wilson L. Davis, and he needs no com mend-ition from us. If elected he will fill the office well, - On next Friday, which is the 4th of March, President Cleveland will have served one half of his term. He has made a wise, conservative and safe pres¬ ident. and we, right here and now, hope he will be “resentenced” in 1888 to another four years in the national exec¬ utive chair. He is undoubtedly the right man in the right place. Let him be nominated by acclamation. 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. A man who has practiced medicine for 40 years ought to know salt from su¬ gar ; read what lie says; Toledo, O., Jan. 10, 18S7. Messrs. F. J. Cheney & Co.—Gentle¬ men :—I have been in the general prac¬ tice of medicine for most 40 years, and would say that in all my practice and experience, have never seen a prepern tion that I could prescribe with as much confidence of success as I can Hall’s Catarrh Cure, manufactured by you. Have prescribed it a great many times and its effect is wonderful, and would say in conclusion that I have yet to find a case of Catarrh that it would not cure, if they would take it according to direc tions. Yours truly, L. L. GORSUCH, M. D., Office, 215 Summit Street We will give $100 for any case of Ca¬ tarrh that cannot be cured with Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Taken internally. F. J.

Passenger coaches for two'full trains of cars for the Georgia Midland railroad, were received at Columbus, last week. According to the recent survey, it is 44 miles and 3,270 feet from JIacon to Monticello, by the Covington, and Ma¬ con railroad. A considerable storm of wind and rain passed over Covington on last Sat¬ urday evening, but we have heard of no damage being done. Messrs. Jarboe & Meadors’ liquor li¬ cense expires next Friday, and that will leave only one barroom, Mr. R. W. Bagby’s, who will run until the 24th. Mr. S. J. Kelly is selling a great detl of Gossypium Phospho to our farmers. His headquarters are at Farmer, Douglas & Co.’s, where he will be pleased to serve his friends. A slight blizzard swept down upon us rom the cold northwest on Saturday night which was quite disagreeable on Sunday. Sunday night was the coldest we have had in over a month. Mr. Geo. A. Wallace, a well known young man, who lived in Covington several years after the war, died at St. Joseph’s infirmary, in Atlanta, on last Saturday morning, of typhoid pneu¬ monia. A cyclone passed over Eatonton, on Saturday evening, which kilied one njan, and severely injured several others. A huge number of houses were blown down, and many others badly damaged. The recently discovered negro in South Carolina who had, never heard of the emancipation proclamation, should sent to Washington to the republican senators who have not found out that the war is over. ......— Dr. Frank B.

J. N. fPompJ WOODRUFF. The handsome Atlanta correspondent of she Macon Telegraph is sometimes quite facetious, as well as eloquent. For instance, in describing an Atlanta criminal, a few days ago, lie said : * i He is a ebuffy, frog-like little man, black as night, stout as a Dutch girl and meaner than award politician.” Mr Joe W. Graham, formerly of this county, was killed in a saw mill near McRea, last Saturday. His foot caught in the cog wheels which drew him into the machinery, mangling him consider¬ ably. He lived several hours after he was hurt. He was buried near McRea. ...[Conyers Solid South. The Augusta Chronicle seems to be on the biggest boom, and is making the least fuss about it, of any paper in the country. On Sunday morning it pub¬ lished a large Charleston edition, with a splendidly written history of the city, and over 40 columns of Charleston ad¬ vertisements. A special train was char¬ tered, and the papers were delivered in the City by the Sea by 9 o’clock the same morning. Thcrs is no excuse for sending your daughters abroad to be educated when we have as good a corps of teachers at the Georgia Methodist Female College, in Covington, as can be found anywhere. Every citizen is Interested in having a good school here, and the only way to have it, is for everyone to patronize it. There should be no division about this matter. Our people should be united in their support of the Georgia Methodist Female College. 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 of receiving the requisite number. This 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. CLOSIXU OFT.

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 By and By. 1 Turns C.
