Covington, Ga., Nov. 23, 1897.
MEETING OF CONGRESS.
Congress will meet on the first
Monday in December, and then the
national “racket” will commence.
From the present outlook, it
promises to be a very busy session.
There are many public questions
that will claim the attention of
our national law makers, besides
the usual side-show of new busi¬
ness, which will all claim some at¬
tention.
The Hawaiian annexation mat¬
ter will probably claim first atten¬
tion. While we think there is no
doubt the treaty of annexation will
be promptly ratified; yet there is
going to be a red hot fight over the
question.
R. E. Everitt’s genuine hand
made harness is superior to other
makes. Try a set.
It will only cost you 10 cents to
guess at the number of seed in the
pumpkin now on exhibition at W.
E. Smith’s. You may get the bar¬
rel of flour.
R. E. Everitt gives special at¬
tention to harness repairing. Give
him a trial.
Wool has advanced several cents per
pound, but we are still selling a good
school boys’ Jeans for 10 cents a yard.
Splendid lot of new clothing, bought
before the advapce, and my customers
will get the advantage of the rise.
W. B. Lee.
We regret to state that Mr.
Charlie Adams, who has been ill
during most of the past summer,
is still very low, and not expected
to live many days.
It is not generally known that to
set fire to a building which is the
sleeping apartment of any person,
or persons, is punishable with
death in Georgia.
Remember, I sell the uniform Cosmopolitan
paper patterns for the price of
15 cents, and guarantee every pattern
perfect, and the very latest styles. Don’t
go and pay 40 cents for something that’s
not as good as you can buy for 15 cents.
I “done told you” now. \V. B. Lee.
A man killed himself in New
York, last week, just to find out
how death felt. We suppose he
found there was a hot time in the
old town that night.
CASTOR IA
For Infanta and Children.
The Cuban question will proba¬
bly come in for its share of atten¬
tion ; but the non-action policy of
the administration will prevent
any legislation on the subject, such
as the recognition of the insurgents
as belligerents.
The treasury deficit will no
doubt claim some attention from
congress, as the present tariff bill
does not raise a sufficient amount
of money to meet the current ex¬
penses of the government.
But of all the questions that will
come up for discussion before con¬
gress, there is not qme that the re¬
publicans will tackyy with greater h,
reluctance than the treasury defi¬
cit, or anything touching the finan¬
cial policy of the administration.
They had made so many promises
and pledges to the country during
the last campaign, which have I
t i not materialized very material-!
ly,” that they will shuffle around
a long time before they attempt
any legislation on the subject.
The sale of the Pacific railroad
will have to be ratified, and that
may cause the springing of a mine
of discussion which may or may
not be easily stopped.
But the session promises to be
prolific in sensations, and will no
doubt be a very lively one, wheth¬
er the Spanish dons want to kick
up a fuss about the filibusteros or
not.
The diseases by Hoods Sarsapa¬
rilla are many, because most ail¬
ments disappear as soon as the
blood is enriched and purified by
it.
The first thanksgiving dinner
was celebrated in this country two
hundred and seventy-six years ago,
at Plymouth, Mass. The whole
American army was present—it
numbered 20 men. Miles Stand
ish, the back woods lover of Prisc¬
illa, sat at the feast, while Priscilla
served at the tables. The story ap¬
peared in the November issue of
The Ladies’ Home Journal. Here
Indians and whites sat down togeth¬
er by the tables set in the woods,
and enjoyed the roast turkey, beech¬
nuts, clam chowder, fish, salad,
cakes, fruit and other delicacies
provided. It was at this historic
dinner that the first oysters were
served.

at 50 cents for 25 cents a pair. Howev¬
er, they have not been fumigated, and
the clothes that come from the N. Y.
Morgue have to be fumigated before
they allow them to come in the state.

The papers “are saying” that
the Central of Georgia railway will
soon put on a two-hour schedule be¬
tween Atlanta and Macon. The
distance is 103 miles, and the two
hours will include all stops. Verily
the flying machine is coming in the
wrong direction.
The statements of those who have been
cured by Hoods Sarsaparilla prove the great
merit of this medicine. Get only Hood's.

It is Easy to Tell.
People who fail to look after their
health are like the carpenter who neg¬
lects to sharpen his tools. People are
not apt to get anxious about their health
soon enough. If you are “not quite
well” or “half sick” have you ever
thought that your kidneys may be the
cause of your sickness?
It is easy to tell by setting aside your
urine for twenty-four hours ; a sediment
or settling indicates an unhealthy con¬
dition of the kidneys. When urine
stains linen it is evidence of kidney
trouble. Too frequent desire to urinate,
scanty supply, pain or dull ache in the
back is also convincing proof that the
kidneys and bladder are out of order.
There is satisfaction in knowing that
the great remedy Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp
Root. fulfills every wish in relieving
weak or diseased kidneys and all forms
of bladder and urinary troubles. Not
only does Swatnp-Root give new life
and activity to the kidneys—the cause
of trouble, but by treating the
it acts as a tonic for the entire constitu¬
tion. If you need a medicine take
Swamp Root—it cures. Sold by drug¬
gists, 50c and $1.00, or by mentioning
the Covington Star and sending your
address to Dr. Kilmer & Co., N. Y. you
may have a sample bottle of this great
discovery sent to you free by mail.
A great fire occurred in London,
last week, which is claimed to have
been the biggest fire of the century.
An area of 100,000 square yards
of territory was burned over, and
the loss is variously estimated at
from $5,000,000 to $25,000,000.
It is said to have been the biggest
fire since the great London fire of
1666.

THE GENERAL
RAOD LAW.
Office Board Commissinoers )
Covington, Ga., Oct. 28, 1897. j
Whereas, At the September
term, 1897, of the superior court of
Newton county, the grand jury re¬
commended the adoption of the
General Road Law of Georgia for
said county, the commissioners of
Roads and Revenues of said coun¬
ty, in compliance therewith, have
this day fixed and levied a special
Public Road Tax of Two Tenths
of One per cent on all the taxable
property of the county, and the
same must be paid to the tax col
lector on or before the first day of
January, 1898, for the purpose of
carrying into effect the provisions
of said General Road Law.
All persons, therefore, who have
already paid their State and Coun¬
ty Taxes for the year 1897 must
come forward and pay this Special
Road Tax to the tax collector.
