COL LIVINGSTON
ACCEPTS.
Committee Appointed by the Convention
On the 9th ot June Notify Him of
His Nomination and He Accepts.
MORE USEFUL THAN ORNAMENTAL.
The congressional convention of
the 5th district, which met in At¬
lanta on the 9th of June, and by
unanimous vote, nomintated Col.
L. F. Livingston for the 56th con¬
gress, appointed a committee, con¬
sisting of Messrs. Adamson, Am¬
mons and Wilcox, to notify him of
his nomination.
The committee has discharged
that duty, and Col. Livingston for¬
mally accepts the nomination so
enthusiastically and unanimously
tendered him.
Following is his letter of accept¬
ance :
( < Messrs. Adamson, Ammons
and Wilcox, Committee, Gentle¬
men—Your letter informing me ol
the action of the democratic con¬
vention tor the 5th congressional
district, held -in Atlanta on
the9thinst., is received. I am
indeed grateful to learn that my
nomination was unanimous, and
that the convention reaffirmed the
national democratic platform. This
is the 5th term in congress to
which I have been nominated by
the democrats of the district. My
purpose in all my service for the
past has been to make myself use¬
ful to my constituents, rather than
ornamental. In this effort I trust,
and believe, that I have succeeded
to a large extent. I feel and realize
that I am only the servant of the
people whom I serve and that their
well-being, and not my ease or
comfort, is to be considered.
< I In accepting the nomination,
unanimously tendered, I renew my
former pledges on similar occasions
to abide and support the principles
of democracy as reaffirmed, and
labor, in season and out of season,
for the betterment of the people I
represent first,and the whole peo¬
ple of otir great state and country
to the fullest extent of my ability.
Respectfully,
L. F. Livingston.

It has been suggested that the
teachers hold an institute once a

think the idea is a good one, and
believe it would be very beneficial

RESOLUTIONS
ARE PASSED.
SOITiG Highly Compliment?ry Words In
Praise of Prof. Jeff Smith, the Ex¬
pert Teacher, and Prof. Wright.
THE INSTITUTE A GREAT SUCCESS.
The teachers' institute, held in
Covington, last week, was a great
success.
It was largely attended, and
showed the teachers of Newton
county to be a very intelligent
and fine body of educators.
It is said to have been the most
successful institute ever held in
the county.
Before adjourning they adopted
the following complimentary reso¬
lutions, expressive of their high
appreciation of the expert teacher,
Prof. Jeff Smith, and County
School Commissioner, W. C.
Wright:
Whereas, We, the teachers of
Newton county, feel the need of
more advanced methods in our
work; and whereas, we fully re¬
cognize the ability, and appreciate
the efforts of our expert brother in
so pleasantly conducting this in¬
stitute work ; therefore; be it
Resolved, 1st. That we extend
our hearty thanks to Prof. Smith,
assuring him, at the same time,
that his suggestions and instruc
tions have not been misplaced.
Resolved, 2d. That should all
things work together to such an
end, we shall be glad indeed to
have Prof. Smith with us at our
next annual session.
Resolved, 3d. That we desire
that our worthy expert carry with
him the best wishes of this body
for success in his future work.
Resolved, 4th. That a copy of
these resolutions he published in
our county papers, and recorded in
the minutes.
Resolved, 5th. That we fully
appreciate the worth and efficiency
of our county school commission¬
er, Prof. W. C. Wright; and we
assure him of our high regard and
esteem for him as a man and as a
successful educator.
Large Blue Crq,ne K lied.
On Saturday morning last, Mas¬
ter Jep Peek, little sou of Mr. J.
W. Peek, shot and killed a large
blue crane, on Dried Indian creek,
near his father’s residence, in Cov¬
ington.
It measured six feet from tip to
tip of its wings, and was a fine
specimen of the crane species.
It was a fine shot that killed the
bird, and Jep was very proud of
his “game. }»
He brought it up town and plac¬
ed it on exhibition at Mr. Charlie
Swanson’s ice cream parlor.
The Logansvilie Railroad.
We learn the grading of the
branch railroad between Lawrence
ville and Logansvilie, is being

Senorita Evangelina Cisneros is now marri¬

Judge John S. Candler has been apponited
colonel of the 3d Georgia regiment of volun¬
teers, by Governor Atkinson.
Mrs. Louise Rogers Green and pretty little
baby, of Decatur, has been stopping with
relatives in Midway, for several days.
Persistent effort will nearly always bring
success. Therefore, you should not stop until
you “get there, and then stay there.”
Mis. Louise Myrick said last year she was
going to defeat Bob Berner for governor.
Now, what is Uncle Allen Candler going to
do about it.
It seems to be a very dull day for war news
when Spain does not “send a note to the
powers,” asking them to stop the war and
save her—honor.
Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Winslow, who had
been the guests of Major Davis’ family, on
High Point, for several days, left for their
home at Cleveland, Ohio, on Tuesday.
Miss Julia Stovall and Miss Bessie Walton,
two charming young ladies of Madison, who
spent sometime at the house party at the
home of Col. J. F. Rogers, on Floyd street,
have returned home.
“A man named J. R. Hogan, said to live
in Lincoln county, Ga.,” has accepted the
populist nomination for governor of Georgia.
We trust our Uncle Allen Candler will not
give up the race on that account.

Rev. Lundy Harris, who left his home, in
on Thursday, June 9th, without let¬
his friends know where he was going,
was heard from at Dripping Springs, Texas, a
days ago. He did not state whether he
remain there or not. Ilis case is a sad
indeed. Let the mantle of charity be
spread wide over the whole affair.
Col. Billie Bryan, of Nebraska, can never
do anything to please the Savannah papers.
When he tendered his services to the president
they guyed and “guffawed,” and said he
would never go. Now that he is gone with
his regiment, they are “biting their hits, and
pawing the earth,” for fear he will do the
Hobson act with an added per cent., and thus
win additional popularity with the people.
But Billie Bryan is all light, and will he in
it, in 1900.
South Carolina comes to the front with the
last hero produced, so far, in the present war.
He is Lieutenant Victor Blue, of Sampson’s
fleet. He went ashore at Santiago, last week,
and made observations of the Spanish defens
es, and definitely located Cervera’s fleet, and
the j an( j batteries defending the harbor. It
w as a daring and brave exploit, and would
have cost him his life had he been captured.
Who will represent Georgia in the uext heroic
and daring deed ? It is her time next.
Miss Clara Anderson, the beautiful and
charming young telegraph operator at Eaton
ton, was united in marriage with Mr. H. C.
Walker, a very popular young business man
of the same place, at 8 o’clock, on Wednes
day evening, June 15, 1898. The marriage
took place at the home of the bride's mother,
in Atlanta, Rev. H. C. Wright, of Eatonton,
performing the ceremony in a very impressive
and eloquent manner. A number of Mr.
Walker’s friends from Eatonton were present,
to witness the ceremony and tender their con
gratulations to the happy couple. After the
ceremony was over, an elegant luncheon wa*
served and enjoyed by all present. The hap
py couple leit for Eatonton on Friday, where
they will continue to make their home. The
Star extends congratulations, and wishes for
them the most perfect wedded bliss.

When that is done it will carry

That is why we want the Lo¬

It is going to takg away some of
the trade we have from tlie CO u **

Covington, it would give us aeon- ;

These connections would be
worth vastly more to Covington
than the country trade we would

,Tbe trade will naturally go from

The candidate for chief justice, is

They should both be nominated,
Judge Fish was elected by the

Should Spain undertake to send
a fleet from Cadiz to Manila her
route would be by way of Cape

ABDALLAH’S LESSON.
Abdallah, pious above all mankind,
Who dwelt in Mecca, morning, noon and
night
His voice to Allah raised in prayer contrite,
Was he and nuinble, pure in mind.
Inspired of heaven he—not so his wife.
She dailv Stood the market place within
And bought and sold, nor deemed If any sin
To mingle there In scenes of toil and strife.
While thus he prayed she earned the food he
ate,
But oft he reprimanded her. Said he:
“Thou shouldst devote thy life to prayer,
like me.
Sarve not thyself. Allah alone Is great.”’
At last his words sank deep into her heart.
Said she: “While Allah shall my poor life
Bpare
My voice to him I'll raise in holy prayer.
Henceforth of righteousness X am a part.”
Abdallah’s heart was glad, and, side by side,
They prayed until the sun in heaven waa
high.
Then hunger to the pioua man drew nigh
And loudly clamored to be satisfied.
Abdallah'., wife still prayed. No food was
there.
The good man's soul was vexed, Tis
plain,” he said,
“That even piety must needs be fed,
And man cannot exist alone by prayer.
And thus he learned “Faith, without works,
is dead, ”
And, profiting by what he learned, straight¬
way
He went to work and prospered lrom that
day
And thanks to Allah gave for daily bread.
—Arthur J. Burdiok in Godey’s Magaaine.
