Death of G. M. T- Bower.
Mr. George M. T. Bower, ont
of the oldest citizens of Covington,
died at the home of his son, Mr.
A. R. Bower, on Washington
street, on Monday evening, Octo¬
ber 4, 1897, aged 72 years.
Judge Bower had been in feeble
health for sometime, and his death
was not altogether unexpected.
He had been a citizen of Coving¬
ton for more than a half century,
and was a man of strong and clear
convictions on all questions of pub
lie interest.
His interment took place in
South View Cemetery on Tuesday

The Daughters’ Concert
The Daughters’ concert, at Mu¬
Hall, Friday night, was a mosl
clean, refined, and inter¬
entertainment.
A large and intelligent audience
present to greet and encourage
performers, and everyone was
with the excellence of the
entertainment.
The program was a splendid one,
was carried out to the fullest
The entire performance gave ev¬

Wind and Hail Storm
A heavy storm of wind, rain and
passed over Covington, at a
late hour on Saturday afternoon,
which was very severe for a little
while.
The cloud was a small one, and
seemed to be passing from south¬
east to southwest, when it sudden¬
ly shifted back rather toward the
northeast, and struck our city a
broadside blow with such fury that
houses trembled, windows rattled,
and roofs leaked, while the hail
fairly shattered the glass.
Fortunately, however, the storm
did not last long, and no material
damage was done.
Burglary of Household Goods
The Star regrets to learn that
the residence of Mrs. Dr. Vtm.
Brown, on Clark street, was bur¬
glarized sometime during her ab
sence and many valuable articles
,
carried away.
The articles taken consisted of
bed clothing, ladies dresses, silver
ware and many valuable articles
,
of house furnishing goods.
An entrance into the house was
effected through a window.
It is not known at what time the
house was burglarized, as it was
done during the absence of the
family. the
The loss is quite heavy, and
family have much sympathy in
their misfortune.
Good rains have fallen here since
Sunday night, and the ground is
now thoroughly wet.
General rains have fallen thrugh

A Wonderful Invention.
Dr. Henry Calvin Hopkins, of
Lithonia, has invented a Pneumat¬
ic Auxiliary Engine, which has
been pronounced a great success
by many mechanical experts who
have seen the model, and is des¬
tined to come into general use very
quickly because of its great econo¬
my in the use of fuel.
It is a pneumatic engine, or at¬
tachment to locomotive engines,
which acts in the double capacity
of pump and motor, working either
way at the will of the engineer.
For illustration: Acting as a
pump, it stores hot air from the
engine, while running on even
grades or otherwise, which can be
used as a motor when going up
heavy grades or for faster running.
In this way, it is claimed, it
saves one-third of the usul amount
of fuel now used.

People often wonder why tbelr nerves ar«
so weak; why they get tired so easily;
why they start at every slight but
sudden sound; why they do not sleep
naturally; why they have frequent
headaches, indigestion and nervous

The explanation Is simple. It Is found In
that impure blood which is contin¬
ually feeding the nerves upon refuse
instead of the elements of strength and
vigor. In such condition opiate and
nerve do compounds Hood’s simply deaden and
not cure. Sarsaparilla feeds
the nerves pure, rich, red blood; gives

White Oak Crossties.
Col. J. H. Averill, commissioner
of the Georgia railroad at the Nash¬
ville exposition, writes the Star
that he has an order for 50,000
white oak railroad crossties, to be
shipped to Holland.
The ties to be 9x9 inches, and
10 feet long.
He requests us to say that if any
one has a lot of good white oak
timber, and wants to fill all or a
part of this order, and will com¬
municate the fact to him, stating
how many crossties they can fur¬
nish, and at what cash price, de¬
livered at the nearest Georgia rail¬
road station, he will endeavor to
secure them an order, if the price
is satisfactory.
Parties in this section having
white oak timber, would do well
to write to him at once, secure an
order for a part of these crossties,
and thus start up an export busi¬
ness irom inis section.
