Success is Our ^Lraa.
J. W. ANDERSON.
COVINGTON, GA., MARCH < ’S90.
THE RAILROAD Sl i t .1 ON.
The railroad situation cordmucs
daily to assume more interring
proportions.
Everybody is now impressed more
than ever before wiib the im -ort*
ance and the necessity of securing
one or more of the mcnv roads now
in contemplation of construction in
or through our county.
This fact gives us great encourage¬
ment and hope that wo will be more
successful in our efforts to get them,
than wo have heretofore been.
Covington is now upon the eve ol
an important crisis in her history.
If vre paes through it successfully,
we may expoct to enjoy an era of
prosperity, such as wo have never
bad since the war. But if we fail
to secure the Middle Georgia aud
Atlantic railroad to thisplaco, which
is one of the new roads projected
through our county, and which will
certainly be built through it this
year by some route, our chanee» for
41 bolding our own,” will be exceed¬
ingly doubtful and uncertain.
The Star, therefore, earnestly ap¬
peals lo the people of Covington, as
well as to all others who are inter¬
ested in our future growth and pros*
perity, to consider well the situation
as it now exists, and understand
what the result would bo to us, if
this road should be built from oast
to west through our county, on a
line perhaps not more than ten mile*
south of Covington. Our territory
in this direction is already narrowly
circumscribed by tho E. T. V. & G.
It. R. and the Covington & Macon R.
R., and if that territory should now
be split in twain by another railroad
running from east to west through
every font of country from which
Covington now draws her best trade,
it needs no prophetic tongue to fore¬
cast what tho disastrous effects upon
the future prosperity of our city
would be.
This impending clangor, howevor,
is upon us. But wc must meet it
like men, and avert it if we can.
If we secure the M. G. & A. li. R.
by way of Covington, it will greatly
enlarge our busiriesg, increase
population, enhance tho Yuluo of
property, build up our
ing industries, infuso a new
of progress and energy into
people, and. give us an
prosperity in every department
business. But, if it runs
our county anywhero to tho
of Covington, without giving us
benefit of its competition, it will
off our business immeasurably,
consequently decrease our
tion, and likewise depreciate
commercial or taxublo value of
our property, In this manner
will also affect tho whole
values of the county, because as
ington rn affected, so will the
county be affected. If Covington
is built up to tbe proportions of
city of 10,000 Inhabitants, and to a
first class market, tbe whole people
would be benefittod, and the whole
property of the county thereby en¬
hanced in value. But, if the prop,
erty and business and taxable values
of Covington are depreciated and
cut off and reduced, so, likewise, the
whole property and business and
taxable values of tho county will be
depreciated and reduced in like pro¬
portion.
Every citizen and tax payer of
Covington must understand and ap¬
preciate this all important fact,
Tbe Stab, therefore, assumes the
position that Covington *t st have
the Middle Georgia and Atlantic R
R. at any cost, within our power
and ability to subscribe to it.
With this conclusion of the matter
in view, then, we urge our people to
be ready to respond liberally and i
tnide, proini 'tjy and tQ the as* call, tbfnk yahcufcvcr it is j
We it will be
made in thenar future, for a« iai~
ar.co in tbe work of building the
road to Covington.
This is Covington's supreme mo-
merit. Lot us not fail to embraeo
it. 'Vo cannot afford to lot the pres
chance slip away from us. Let
tis meet the emergency that is now
upon us promptly and liberally as
we should anil ought to do, and we
see no good reason why we may
not he successful.

1 take pleasure iu submitting
following statement of fuels
you may r know the great
that has resulted from tho use
your Specific in tho case of my
daughter, now ten years of
. Tho child when two years of
had a severe attack of ecarlot fevor,
which left her with a shattered
stitution. Among other evidences
of impaired nutrition was what tho
doctors called softening of tho
bones. In her fifth year she happen¬
ed to a slight accident which result¬
ed in tho dislocation of the hip joint,
and from tho irritation thus set up,
terrible abscesses of the hip ensued.
The abscesses, despite the best med¬
ical treatment that could bo ob¬
tained, remained for three years, dis¬
charging contiuously. At this timo,
put her on your S. S. S. When
treatment was commenced tho
scess was very large, having
perforations,pus discharging
them all. During this
several spiculae of bone came
and by the time she had
her fifth bottle the abscess had
tirely healed, her appetite and
general health haa been restored ;
in short, she was well and happy,
and so continues.
