suggest, but nothing could avail,
and the grim monster claimed his
victim on Sunday afternoon.
Her remains were tenderly laid
to rest on Monday afternoon. To
the grief stricken family much

Card of Thanks.
Editor Covington Star ;
Dear Sir :—I ask a small space
in your valuable columns, to ex¬
press my thanks to those good peo¬
! ple of Covington and vicinity, who
have made my stay in the city so
pleasant and agreeable.
Also, to the many friends of my
husband, for the kindness and
friendship shown him, and their
expressions of regret at his leav¬
ing.
Wherever we go, they will ever
be held in grateful remembrance.
May heaven’s choicest blessings
ever rest upon them and theirs.
Respectfully,
Mrs. M. C. Moffett.
A Negro Killed
A negro man, by the name of
Temp Radford, was shot and killed,
on Mr. S. D. Hight’s place, near
Alcova station, on Thursday night.
The shooting was done by a ne
gro named Dolph Bailey, a sort of
sporting character, who succeeded
in making his escape, and has not
been arrested.
The trouble occurred at a negro
frolic, and was caused by Lige
Speer stepping on Dolph Bailey’s
toes. Lige apologized to Bailey,
but Bailey did not accept the apol
ogy, and drew his pistol and fired,
barely missing Speer, and hitting
and killing Temp Radford. It
does not appear to be certain, how
ever, whether Bailey fired directly
at Speer, or simply shot into the
crowd. Radford was standing
just beyond Speer, and was struck
by the bullet and killed.

Grimes’ Famous Battery,
The survivors of Grimes’
battery are coming to Atlanta.
They will arrive at 12 o’clock M.,
on Monday next, the 21st of Octo
ber.
Col. R. W. Bagby, of Coving¬
ton, has been specially invited to
meet the Virginians on their arri¬
val, and to bring all members
the 3d Ga. regiment, as well as the
veterans of other commands, for
the purpose of giving them a prop
er reception, and having a reunion
and jolly good time generally with
their old comrades.
Let every old soldier go that
can.
Grimes’ battery was from Ports¬
mouth, Va., and was closely con¬
nected with the 3d Ga. regiment
during the entire war, and no com¬
mand did more valiant service for
the confederate cause than it.
The Star welcomes them to
Georgia and the great exposition
in advance of their coming, and
trusts their stay at the exposition
will be both pleasant and profitable
to them, as well as to each and
every Virginian that comes with
them.
Mr. Bagby will carry up a large
delegation of the old confederates
from this section to meet the gal¬
lant Virginians on their arrival in
Atlanta, and will give them a hearty
welcome.
Let everyone go that can.
Letter From Atlanta,
Editor Covington Star :
Dear SiR-The exposition is now
fully complete, and is fairly boom
mg- The people are coming here
from all quarters, and the city is
full of strangers. It is a great
show.
Fully three-fourths of the citi¬
zens of Atlanta want Judge Van
Epps to succeed himself as judge
of the city court of Atlanta. No
judge of any court in this city has
given more universal satisfaction
in his administration of the laws
than Judge Van Epps. He is an
able and just judge, and in his de¬
crees has given the same measure
of justice to all classes of people.
Hence his great popularity in At¬
lanta and Fulton county.
Fifty thousand people visited the
exposition on Wednesday, which
was Liberty Bell Day.
The Star seems to be a special
favorite with the Constitution of.
this city, as I see it frequently
copies quite elaborately from its
columns. Your paper is always
bright, sparkling and newsy,
and the people of Covington ought
to appreciate the Star very high
I J y

great southern organ, and is to the

j ington Star, is high compliment
a
and well merited,

and is well prepared to entertain
the great crowds that are coming
to the exposition.
j I see a large number of Newton
coun ty boys have positions at the
exposition and a ll seem to be
getting along , very me . . y. T
glad to note this, as I still love
the people of good old Newton as
dearly as ever,
Respectfully,

Death of Gen. Mahone.
Gen. William Mahone, of Vir¬
ginia, is dead.
The Star stated last week that
he had been stricken with paraly¬
sis, in Washington, a few days
ago, and was likely to die at any
moment.
Gen. Mahone rose to be a divis¬
ion commander, in the Army of
Northern Virginia, and was a
brave, gallant, and popular officer.
He was known throughout the
army as “Little Billy Mahone, y y
and his reputation as a hard fighter
extended far and wide.
Since the war, however, Gen.
Mahone got on the wrong side of
politics, and was elected to the
United States senate as a “re-ad
juster” of the public debt of Vir¬
ginia. He lost caste by his course
of conduct in politics, and with it,
his popularity and influence among
his people.
The death of Gen. Billy Mahone
is, therefore, a peculiarly sad and
pathetic one, and involuntarily
brings a sigh of grief from the
hearts of those who learned to love
him in the days that true manhood
was needed and appreciated.
It is a sad warning to those who
turn against their own people for
the sake of office and the gratifica¬
tion of personal gain and ambition.
Gen. Mahone was a resident of
Petersburg, Va., and his body was
removed to that city for burial.
Sale of the Central Railroad.
The great Central railroad of
Georgia was sold at public outcry,
in the city of Savannah, on Mon¬
day.
The price paid for this great
property was only $2,000,000.
It is worth $10,000,000.
The Central of Georgia has al¬
ways been a valuable piece ot
property, and its terminal holdings
in the city of Savannah alone,
could not be bought today for $2,
000,000, the price paid Monday for
the whole property.
The road has been badly treated,
during the past few years, and has
been wrecked by speculators,
and at last has been sold for a mere
song.
Just what amount the stockhold¬
ers will get out of the $2,000,000,
is rather a hard question to an¬
swer ; but the probability is,_it will
not be very much.
It is unfortunate for those who
have had their hard earnings in¬
vested in this valuable property to
have it swept away from them by
the greed of the shylocks who
have robed them of their property
through speculation.
But it is sold—gone—and there
is no use crying over “spilt milk. »y
To Start a Cheese Factory
Shall we have a cheese factory
in Covington ?
That is now the question.
Two gentlemen, Messrs. E. W.
Coleman, of Ellijay, and Mr. W.
H. Peck, of Athens, Tenn., have
been here during the week, en¬
deavoring to raise a sufficient
amount of stock to establish a cheese
factory in Covington.
They are nice gentlemen, and
represent the Creamery Package
Company, of Chicago, who are
the builders of the machinery for
the factory.
The shares to the capital stock
are placed at $100, and not more
than two shares of the stock will be
issued to the same person, This
restriction, we understand, is made
in order to get as many of our peo¬
ple interested in the enterprise as
possible.
The project is a good one, and
we have no dou bt the factory will
j handsomely. It is such small
I £ that we need to make
our city independent, ... and nd we ve trus trust t
our people will rally to its support
at once.

After a ten years’ absence lrotn in
dear old home, I stand once more in
what used to be my mother’s to out. As
I stand where her old rocking chair
used to sit, and where I used to kneel at
her feet and say my evening prayers, I
can see my dear old father, little sister,
and my only brolher, sitting around the
bright, warm tire, all of whom are read¬
ing. As 1 stand, my thoughts run on
over my childhood life, and I remem¬
ber how 1 used to let my darling mother
carry the water, when I could have
carried it myself. How my conscience
smiles me, as I think of these incidents
—incidents that are past and gone.
My mother is dead and gone, and no
more will I hear her sweet voice, sing¬
ing : “Nearer, my God, to thee.” No
more will I teel tier soft good night kiss
on my brow. Father is also dead. 1
can almost see him, as he comes from
town with candy aud toys for his little
children. “Brother,” where art thou?
They tell me that you, too, are dead.
How well do 1 remember the days that
we have spent together—days that will
couie no more ! Hweet sister, are you
dead ! Yes, they tell me that your little
grave can be found with the others. I
am left alone ! Oh God, comfort me !
How can 1 believe that, siuce I left you
all at home, you have died. Wliy did I
leave my mother's knee, to wander foi
twelve years under the blue canopy of
heaven ? 1 am now lett alone to wan¬
der 011 and on, until I, too, come to die,
and then 1 will lay down aud die with¬
out a single loying hand to close my
eyes! These were the words of a poor
man. who left home when a boy, and
when lie returned, ten years after, he
tound Ids lather, mother, brother and
little sister dead. Time changes all
