nominee, and will give him its earnest
support for election.

A Valuable Book,
Dr. E. C. Spinner, of the Standard
Publishing company, of Atlanta, was in
Covington during last week, selling a
biographical life of Cleveland and Thur¬
man, \v‘th copious sketches of other
leading and prominent democrats in the
present campaign. Dr. Spinner is a live
and active business man, and gave us a
pleasant call. The book he is selling
contains much valuable information on
the Mills bill and leading questions of
interest to the people. The author of
the book is Hon. W. U. Ilensel, a law¬
yer, journalist, and chairman of the
democratic state executive committee of
Pennsylvania, assisted by H011. Henry
Watterson, of Kentucky, and Francis
Howard Williams. The book contains
six hundred pages, is handsomely illus¬
trated and bound in silk. Every house¬
hold in the land should contain a copy
of this work. The price is only two
dollars.

duty and respect require them to keep good
order at church, as to do otherwise is, ill-man¬

Covington should keep a full stock of bug¬

about Dixie. We trust all will he well.
“ANY."
The Covington and Oxford Street Rail¬
road Extension.
At the call of the board of directors of
the Covington and Oxford Street Rail¬
road Company, a meeting of the stock¬
holders of the company was held in the
council chamber, o,u Friday night, for
the purpose of considering the question
of extending the road from the Georgia
railroad depot to Oxford.
A resolution of the board, which was
passed at a recent meeting of that body,
providing for the extension of the road
to Oxford as soon as $5,000 of additional
subscription is raised, was read by the
secretary of the board, and was unani¬
mously approved by the stockholders.
A committee, consisting of Messrs.
John F. Henderson, J. A. Stewart and
J. G. Lester was appointed to canvas our
city for subscriptions, and they will
enter upon their work at once. As the
stock is regarded as being gilt edge, we
believe there will be no difficulty in
raising the required amount of subscrip¬
tion. The subscription of $2,000, prom¬
ised by Oxford, is included in the $5,000
required to be raised, which leaves only
$3,000 to be subscribed by Covington.
We feel assured the stock will all be
taken at once, and that the road will be
extended to Oxford by the time the
school is opened at Emory college in Oc¬
tober.
Those desiring to subscribe for a few
shares of the stock would do well to see
the committee at once, or they may lose
the chance to get any. We predict that
it will go off life hot cakes.
