FIRST GET THE RAILROAD.
It is certain that when tho Cov¬
ington and Macon railroad is com¬
pleted to ibis point, the Pioneer Ma
chino Shops, in Midway, will be star¬
ted up. A large wood works
ing establishment will also bo built
below the depot, near the Georgia
railroad track, with plenty ot capital
to run it successfully. These two
enterprises are only waiting for the
extension of the Covington and Ma¬
con railroad to this place to be put
in operation at once. But they will
not be started if tho railroad does
not come here, as they want better
shipping facilities.
Now who will say that the com¬
pletion of the C. & M. road to our
city will not be an advantage to it ?
How many more new enterprises
are waiting to be slartcd as soon as
it is completed to this point ? Sure¬
ly every business man in Covington,
as well as every property owner in
the county.is convinced of tho ne¬
cessity of completing this road at
once to this place. The advantage
it will be to our county cannot be es¬
timated in dollars and conts, at this
time. We must havo it completed
at any cost. Other enterprises
•will follow those we Lave
mentioned above, and our county
and city will receive such an impe¬
tus that we will wonder in a few
years why wo did not build the road
... long before.
It is said that $7,000,000 is annual¬
ly invested in Florida by tho north¬
ern tourists who are attracted to
that state by the fame of its climato,
the opportunities for the profitable
employment of capital, and tho ex¬
cellent entertainment afforded by
its palatial hotels. Before tho ho
tela were built, says the Nows and
Courier, nobody went to Florida ;
indeed, there was no Florida until
the hotels made it what it is.

Gentlemen—Knowing that you

SNIGSTS OF SOKOL
Atlanta Evening Capitol
Since its organization the Knights
of Hodot have grown rapidly in nura
bora and spread the leaven of au ac¬
tive benevolence to every part of the
land.
The order has 2,500 lodges in thir¬
ty six states, has a membership of
125,000, and has paid to the families
oi deceased brothers $23,000,000.
Twelve years ago the Gate City
Lodge was organized in Atlanta, and
it has now a membership of one hun¬
dred and fifty, and has paid to ben¬
eficiaries of the fraternity $200,000.
This is a record to be proud of,
these are figures which commend
and eulogize the Knights beyond the
commendations of mere compliment.
We have heretofore shown facts
similar to those just stated with ref¬
erence to the Red SJen, the Knights
of Pythias and other benevolent or¬
ganizations.
A word more additional to what
we then said.
The great end to be accomplished
by all these organizations is the same
however different may bo the forms
and ceremonies prescribed. It is to
prepare for and insure against the
day of trouble and affliction.
But there i3 another and in many
instances an equally important end
to be attained by persons, especially
the young, who join either of these
organizations.
At the meetings they are in com¬
pany with sober, upright men, are
receiving useful instructions from
ceremonies and are held to circum
.-pection in their daily life, by’ a re¬
collection of. their pledge and a
knowledge of tho fact that these
men, so fraternal now, will be of¬
fended by any acts of misbehavior
on their part.
The number of crimes that go un¬
committed, of useful lives that go
unwrecked, of hard earnings that
go unwasted, and of pernicious pre¬
cepts that go untaught, while the
young man is in this society learns
ing lessons of duty and destiny, on¬
ly the recording angel knows. To
recuit tho forces of Heaven, lessen
the afflictions of earth and aid in the
purification and ennoblement of soc¬
iety—these are accomplished by the
Knights, and tho capital heartily
bids them God speed in their noble
mission.

THE WORLD’S WONDER.
Now at 7 i-2 North Broad street, Atlanta, Ga., is the owner
of a double acting automatic Force Pump, which works with
compressed air, and will bring water from the bottom of a well
ioo feet deep, and throw it 50 to 75 feet. It will force water
through half a mile of piping. The filass works and the nov¬
elty iron works have these pumps for their protection against
fire, and for other conveniences. It is cheap, durable, and la¬
bor saving. No one should be without them. Good men,
with little capital, can get an agency to sell them, with big pay,
to the right man. See the patentee of the combined fire and
water proof cement roof paint lor terms.
