THE PASSING OF 1901.
Only one more week remains of
the year 1901.
Some how or other it has been a
short year, and has slipped by ns
into the shadowy past almost be¬
fore we realized wc had started in¬
to the 20th century.
But, Time flies, and we are hur¬
rying on into another year.
In many respects the past year
has been a prosperous one, and our
people are generally in a better con¬
dition than they were even a short
year ago.
There are many evidences of im¬
provement all over the country, and
everything seems to be on the up
ward grade toward more prosper¬
ous times in the coming near
future.
One of the greatest needs of the
times, however, is the raising of
more breadstuff's by all our people
engaged in agricultural pursuits in
our county. There is always a de
mand for corn, because it is the
very basis of all our bread-stuffs
and stock foods.
No farmer can afford to raise cot¬
ton with which to buy corn—in
other words to buy his meat and
bread. It is too risky a thing to
do.
We have here iti Covington and
vicinity many substantial improve
ments made during the past year ’
and we hope the good work will go
on during the coming years until
we become a great and prosperous
and happy people.
With “no vain regrets for the
past, let us strive for the rewards
of the future.”
In the meantime, we wish every¬
body much happiness and prosper¬
ity during the year 1902.
The Atlanta Depot Bill a Law
The Atlanta depot bill, passed
by the legislature, has been signed
by the governor, and is now a law. i
The building commissioners have
also been appointed, and they will
meet and organize in a faw days.
Thus it will be seen that
things come to those who wait. JI
Atlanta, as well as the whole
state, has waited long for the new
state depot, and now it is about to
materialize into a reality.
,,,, I he commission . . appointed , to
supervise the work is a strong and
capable one, and the state’s inter
ests will be safely guarded and pro¬
tected in their hands.
Following is the commission—
Governor Candler is ex-officio
chairman.
Senator J. F. Cann, of Savan
nah.
Senator John N. Holder, of Jef¬
ferson, Ga.
Representative G. V. Gress, of
Wilcox county.
Representative Thomas Eggles¬
ton, of Atlanta.
