The siantary committee should look w ell to the sanitary condition of our city. Do you want the street railroad ex¬ tended to Oxford ? If so, how much do you wan! it? Covington now has two brass bands, white and colored. Covington is get¬ ting to be pretty ‘'brassy" any way. A track of the street railroad has been laid into the stables of the company, and the cars are now run into the stable at night. The Eagle says since the electric lights have been put up in Gainesville, the cot¬ ton factory is run day and night, thus doubling its capacity. «»•••• The jingle of the street ear bells is now a continuous and familiar sound upon our streets from early in the morn¬ ing until late at night. Birmingham has averaged two suicides w week during the past mouth, and has had fifty suicides during this year. Is the hot weather the cause ? Atlanta now claims that slip gat be¬ tween the sun and moon, the other night, and caused the late eclipse of the moon. But she failed to claim the gate money. The Augusta Chronicle says Dr. Janies S. Hamilton, of Athens, has been a sub¬ scriber to that paper since 1843, which is 45 years, lie is perhaps the oldest living director of the Georgia railroad. Augusta is pushing (lie work on her grand exposition buildings, and wiil )mve them ready in good time for the exposition in October. Augusta never gets left, when she sets her head to get there. The Walton News says Jackson coun¬ ty has nineteen candidates in the field, and we would like to add there are five months of the campaign yet in which others may blossom for the January elec tiou. Jackson is evidently a patriotic and progressive county, The Evening says News 1,000 Augusta people left that city, Sunday, for the various resorts, to spend the day out °f the city, which they were enabled to do. by the cheap rates given by the various railroads. This proves what cheap rail¬ road fares will do. The Covington and Macon railroad will soon be cornplotod to Athens, and the people of that city propose to have a big barbecue and a general jolifieatiou over the event. The Banner says the whistle of the construction engine can almost be heard in the corporate limits of the city, and preparations are being made for the arrival of the first train. Actual war seems to be in progress be¬ tween the towns of Hynesdale and Hugeton, in Kansas, and several citizens and deputy sheriffs have been killed.— At last accounts the citizens of both places were still arming with Winches¬ ter rifles, and shooting each other down like savages. It does not appear wliat was the origin of the trouble, but at lest a dozen men'have been killed. 5Ve regret to see that the deadly ‘‘par¬ allel columns” have already been intro¬ duced into the present national cam¬ paign. It is a dangerous business. An editor who uses them is likely to get caught. lie is in the same fix as the man who lives in a glass palace and hab¬ itually throws rocks. His antagonists may keep a scrap book. This is but friendly advice, given in a friendly spir¬ it, to some of the dearest friends we have in the journalistic profession.— Now, come boys; put up your Damascus Fabers, and let peace and harmony pre¬ vail. Remember, this is a foreign war, so to speak; and we must all unite un¬ der the same flag. Nuf ced. The GEORGIA MUSIC HOUSE, one of the oldest musical establishments in the south, is certainly making liberal of¬ fers this year.

The dog days have come, Every dog can now have his day. * • Every man in Newton county is able to subscribe for the Star. Candidates for county offices are bite coming forward this season. Your Uncle Primus Jones has sold two bates of cotton, of the present crop. The Atlanta Evening Capitol wpeds its own row, and it weeds it well. This has been a mighty dry summer on most of the country newspapers. Considerable sickness about town, and everybody should keep their premises clean. Monroe seems to be trying to discover a mineral well in her midst, and is watch ing for a boom to clean it out. Athens lias given the Covington and Macon railroad the right of way for its track through the streets of that city. The primary is over, and the contest for the legislatives race is settled. Nov, let us all shake hands and support the nominee. The tux digest of Newton county shows $2,279,708 of taxable property re¬ turned for 1888, which is an InyiQase of $46,820 over last year. C. C. Nelson, the nortli side banker of Atlanta, is a free man, and says he is $7,000 ahead of the game. We suppose he will settle down in Canada and open another bank.

The annual reunion of the old 3d Ga. regiment will take place at Madison on Wednesday and Thursday of this week, which is August 8th and 9th. A large number will attend from this county. "M* Persons who are troubled with sleep¬ lessness should attend church regularly, these hot days, or walk out and sit down on the railroad track for a short time.— These things never fail to bring sleep— to some people. We have often predicted that lands in this section were bound to advance in value before many years, and we repeat the assertion now. No better investment can be made in this section than to buy good and desirable farming lands. Judge Wm. H, Thompson, of Jasper county, was in town on Wednesday,and reported the engineer corps as getting ready to make the suivev of the Cov¬ ington and Macon railroad to this city. \y e shall be glad to see them come. To-day is sale day for August, but you would hardly know it, unless some one told you. There is nothing adveitised to be sold; and, if there was, it is too dull to sell it. But times will liven up in a few weeks, if nothing befalls the crops. Boys desiring to eater the new state school of technology, in Atlanta, which opens the first of October, should not forget that they will have to undergo a competitive examination before the county school commissioner, at Oxford, the first of September.

The Star does not object to the C. & M. depot being located in any portion of the town. It only wants the road and the depot. Judge John D. Stewart, our representative in congress, is at home, enjoying a two weeks vacation from his arduous labors in Washing¬ ton. The word “Chatauqua” is a corruption of an Indian phrase, and signifies a “foggy place.’’ At least, that is what your Uncle Noah Web¬ ster says about it. Major J. C. Key, of Monticello, has been elected vice president of the Covington and Macon railroad company, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Col. B. W. Frobel. We have often been asked how we managed to get so many personal items for this col umn. In answer we can only say it is accom plished entirely through great perseverance much perspiration. Mr. George Westinghouse, the inventor of the railway air brake, is said to have made $g, out of his invention. At any rate, is the largest fortune ever before made of a “brake.” Dr. J. J.

Ellington, has been elected by the board of trustees, instructor of mathemat¬ ics in the University of Tennessee, at Knox¬ ville. Mr. Ellington possesses rare mathemat¬ ical talent, and is well equiped for the impor¬ tant position as assistant to the professor of the chair of mathematics. The eye of Dr. Chas. Dabney, the able president of the institution the past year, has been upon our young friend. After the term closed in June, he was chosen to survey college hill, and when he completed that piece of work he was offered a position by a firm of architects at Knoxville. Having given that branch some study, he accepted the position during the summer. He was first j; eu t en ant of his company and adjutant of col legehilL He will now rank as captain.

Result of the Primary Election. The following is the result of the pri¬ mary election, held last Saturday to nominate a candidate for the legislature. Great interest was taken in the matter, and the friends of both cnmljilat.es work¬ ed vigorously for the success of their fa¬ vorites, which brought out the largest vote ever polled at a primary election in our county. The Star is obliged to ac¬ knowledge defeat in the race for the nomination, but as a good democratic journal, it now falls into line for the nominee, and will give him its earnest support for election. The following is the consolidated vote in the primary: T. J. Speer. 519 J. M. Pace , 466 Speer’s matevity 53 > 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. Dixie Gleanings. We are now ojn a solid boom, and our kind neighbors don’t seem to’object, but rather to encourage our progress. It is nice to live in a sec tion where the people d-m\ care if there is en¬ ergy, pride, and prosperity in their midst. Peo¬ ple who visit us say they,don’t see why we are not contented and hfipMv Miss Dempie Anderson, of Washington, Ga, is the guest, of Miss Neeson and friends. May she find her time pleasantly and well spent here, and we can assure her she can’t stay too long. We are sorry that a few object to bangs, and beautiful suits at church, and trust they may yet reconsider ; for they are much appreciated by a large majority of our people. The protracted meeting has closed at Starrs ville. It was well attended. A series of meetings were commenced at Brick Store and Carmel churches, on Friday last. They are being largely attended, and it is hoped much good will result. The young people should remember that duty and respect require them to keep good order at church, as to do otherwise is, ill-man¬ nered and wrong. Covington should keep a full stock of bug¬ gies on hand, as they are in great demand 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.
