Covington is the capital townjrf
New tou c ol-- Middle
most flourishing towns in
Georgia. Oxford, the seat of Em
college with 300 students, has
ory
a population of 800, and is only
two miles distant. The two towns
are connected by a street railway.
Covington has two railroads,
surrounded by a flue agri¬ ;
and is
cultural section, which produces
cotton, wheat, oats, barley, grasses j
I
and all kinds of fruits, in abun- 1
pub- '
dance. We also have a line
lie school system, which is well 1
attended all the year round, With
a fine climate, plenty of good pure
u ?ater, good society, six churches,
a bank, and a splendid class 01
merchants and business men, all
combine to make Covington one of
the most desirable places to live i in
Middle Georgia.
Newton county has an industri
ous, thrifty and intelligent popula¬
tion of 20,000, while it abounds in
rich natural resources, such as gran¬
ite, mineral ores, timber, and the
finest water power ill the state.

The I ream of Life.
The penniless youth fell into a
deep sleep. “Ah,” he dreamed,
“if only I had but five thousand a
year, what good might I not do!
How happy I could Le? What
presents 1 could bestow ! \\ hat
delight I could bring to so many !
The poor should know my humble
hut discerning charity . the needy
should not appeal in vain. Ah, if
1 had but fiv e thousand a year se¬
cured, what a life I could lead!
How noble and generous I could
show myself!’’
The years rolled by. The pen¬
niless youth was now worthahun
lired thousand dollars. Once more
he fell into a deep sleep.
<» Ah,” he dreamed, “if only I
could accumulate a million dollars,
how happy I should lie ! How I
could enjoy life ! What power I
should possess ! What influence,
what authority ! How men would
look up to me, and admire me, and
stek my friendship. Tinly that
would be happiness, greatness,
joy !’’
The millionaire dozed in his
easy chair.
“Ah,” he dreamed, “could I but
turn my million into ten millions,
into ten millions Could I but
add to my wealth! Could 1 but
get a higher rate of interest;
could I but invest it to greater ad¬
vantage ! Could I but change my
million to ten millions! Could
I but do it, could 1 but do it, could
I but do it 1 ”
The dream went on, and to the
dreamer waking came 110 more.—
