Of Ohio.
COVINGTON & MACON R. R.
An opportunity is now offered the
people of Covington and Newton
county to secure the completion of
the Covington and Macon railroad
to this place, by complying with the
terms proposed by the company,
which arc that we give them the
right of way through our county and
city, give them a site for a depot, and
raise them a subscription of §25,000
to the capital stock of the company.
These terms are as fair and easy
as wo could reasonably expect from
this or any other company, and it
now remains for us to comply with
them, and secure the road. It is
further promised that tho road will
be built to Covington within tho
next four months, if tho proposition
is accepted at once. If we do not
comply with the terms, wo cannot
expect to get the road.
These terms aro substantially the
same as thoso originally offered us,
and if we had complied with them
at that time, we would now 7 have tho
road built, and the cars running to
Covington.
We believe the road, if built to
Covington, will enhance tho value of
tho whole property of tho county.
If it is built to some other point, it
will in like proportion depreciate tho
business and property ol our town
and county.
But there is no need of further ar¬
gument in tho matter. Jmt every
property owner in the county sub¬
scribe lor a share or two of the stock
and we will get tho road at once.
The Family Puzzle,
Madison Advertiser.
The following letter from Mr. W.
E. Maxwell, of the Markham House,
Atlanta, is a correct answer to the
family puzzlo, which appeared in
this paper in the issue of two weeks
ago:
Markham House, }
Atlanta, Ga., June 23, 1888.
Editor Advertiser—Below you will
find what I hope is the correct an¬
swer to tho puzzlo in your paper of
the 21st ult.
“A certain family in Lincoln county con¬
sists of one grand-father, two grand-mothers,
one father-in-law, two mothers-in-law, three
mothers, two fathers, two daughters, one son,
one daughter-in-law, one son-in-law one grand
daughter, and there are only six persons in the
family.”
Wo beginwitha husband and wife
tho wife has both a father and moth*
cr, the husband a mother, tho hus¬
band and wife a daughter, the wife’s
father is grand-father to her daugh¬
ter, and her mother and husband’s
-nother are grand-mothers to their
daughter; the wife’s father is father
in-law to her husband ; her mother
is his mother-in-law ; the husband’s
mother is mother-in-law to his wife
the wife has a mother, and is moth¬
er to her own daughter ; the hus¬
band has a mother, the wife has a
father, and her child has a father,
the wife is a daughter of her mother,
and has a daughter of her own ; tho
wife’s mother-in-law is mother to her
husband, the husband’s mother is
mother-in-law to his wife, making
her a daughter-in-law, and the wife’s
mother is mother-in-law to tho hus¬
band, making him a sou in-law ; the
husband’s and wife’s child is grand¬
daughter to their parents.
Hoping this is the correct answer
I remain
Yours respectfully,
W. E. Maxwell.
This is a round-about way to get
at it, but a person following it close.
ly will find it to be correct.
According , ,. , to the ,, Financial Cbron- „
icle the number of national banks
has been increased about 1,000 dur
• tbe .1
tng past seven years. Four fifths
of r this 1 1 • number • . have , been . banks . with
$100,000 capital or less. Ono-half
of the whole number have had $50,
000 capita! each, in 1881 there were
$.000 national banks and one half of
ihem had $100,000 capital, or less,
Now the number is about 3,000 and
two-thirds of them have capital of
$100,000. j

The S> S. S. Company,
Among the very first establish¬
ments of Atlanta to becomo nation¬
ally known when tho Gate City had
set out on its wonderful career
fume and fortune was that which has
for years manufactured and sold the
celebrated S S S, and it was through
the uninterrupted and unyielding
success and increasing use and pop¬
ularity of S S S that this house be¬
came famous.
It is too late in the day to recount
with brevity the long and unvaying
triumphs of thissovereign tonic, and
it is much too lato to question its
undoubted efficacy and merit. Oth¬
er preparations have been brought
into boing by tho needs of human
woe. Somo of these have been mer¬
itorious and have met the expecta¬
tions and claims built upon them.—
Others have boen fallacious. Some
of thorn survived. Others have dis
appeared—have gono undor by their
own gravity or been swept away by
superior remedies. To tho sterling
and established repute of 8 S S,
course the fate of other efforts could
mean nothing. Their success could
not abate that of tho S S S, and
failure could give it no wider field
for its triumphs. A remedy so well
known and so universally successful
could well afford to submit to all
tests.
S S S happens, too, be a specific
lor the very kinds and degrees
ailments and afflictions to which the
vast percentage of human flesh is
heir in all climates, conditions and
circumstances. These aro lbeuma
tism, scrofula, blood poisons, blood
taints, mercurial and vcgclabio
ons, nlcors, diseases of the skin, ca
tarrh, etc.—Greenesboro, Ga., Her

Democratic Meeting.
\ mass meeting of the Democratic
Party of Newton county was held in
the court house Tuesday. Mr. O. H.
Tucker was called to the Chair and
Col. J. G. Lester elected Secretary.
After which the following delegates
were chosen to attend the several con
yentions soon to convene :
Governor and State House Officers
—O. S. Porter. L. L. Middlebrook,
S. E. Ellington and F. M. Hays,—
Governor Gordon and the present
State House officers were endorsed,
and delegates instructed to vote for
|icir rf'-nnmmntinn better,
more beautiful, society moro
rosperous granges and superior trans
ortatiou ft cilities.
On Resolutions A cmoll f„m if .anmrpq InKS work
were then passed
approving with satisfaction the course
of Hon. J. D. Stewart iu Congress,
and instructed the delegates to vote
for his re nomination, pledging the
party to work for his re election.—
A resolution favoring a repeal of the
tobacco tax brought about a spirited
debate between Col. Middlebrook and
Col. Womack, in which others enga¬
ged. Col. Middlebrook withdrew the
resolution and the “waters become
calm” and the Democratic love feast
continued iu true brotherly fashion,
until the question as to who would he
permitted to vote in the primaries
was raised, and then Messrs. Rogers,
Lester, J. W. Anderson, Porter and
others discussed the matter in a pa¬
triotic manner. It was finally agreed
i . That none but white democrats
voters be permitted to cast a ballot in
any of the Democratic primary elec¬
tions to be held in this county this
year, and that no proxies be received
or counted in any of said elections.”
Hon. O. S. Porter offered the fol¬
lowing resolutions which were unani¬
mously adopted, to-wit:
Resolved 1st.—That the democrat¬
ic candidate for the Legislature from
the county be chosen by a primary
election to be held on the first Satur¬
day iu August 1888.
2nd. That the polls be opened in
each militia district, and at Newborn
and Oxford, at the regular polling
places, and the election be conducted
iu the same manner, and by the same
rules, that govern elections for mem¬
bers of the Legislature.
3rd. That the qualifications for vo¬
ting be the same ns are required
voters for members of the Legislature,
except in the requirement of regis¬
tration, and that only democrats vote
at said election.
4th. That the returns of said, elec¬
tion he delivered by the managers
thereof to the chairman of the coun¬
ty executive committee by noon
the Monday next following, who,
gether with them, shall consolidate
the vote, and declare the result, the
candidate receiving the largest
ber of votes in said election to be
clared the nominee of the
party of Newton county for
sentative.
The meeting then adjourned to
vene again at the call of the Chair¬
man of the Executive Committee.
There was a tradition among the
Ghobers that Abraham in his early
years was doomed to the slake by
an impious decree of Nimrod. But
heaven nvorted tho vengeance of the
tyrant and the flames were turned
into a bed of roses where tho child
j sweetly reposed. There is something
; n tbi8 8implei artless myth which
bears a pleasing resemblance to the
doctrine of Christian trust and resig
nation.

Houston, of the republican state

would probably bo lit hardest fought
