Narrow Escape from Fire.
The residence of Mr. Charles H.
White, on Hendrick street, edme
near being burned, on Sunday
night, about half past 8 o’clock.
It was caused by a portable elec¬
tric light globe being placed in a
bed, under the cover, by some of
the children, in one of the upstairs
rooms.
It soon set the bed clothes on
fire, and filled the room with
smoke. Fortunately it was dis¬
covered just in time to extinguish
it before any more damage was
done than to partially burn up the
bed and bed clothes.
It was a norrow escape from a
big fire, as it would have been be¬
yond control in a few minutes.
Our Superior Court
Newton superior court w r as con¬
vened on Monday morning, with
Judge John S. Candler presiding,
and W. T. Kimsey, solicitor gen¬
eral.
The jurors answered promptly
to the call of their names, and were
soon organized for business.
The grand jury is a very fine
body, and the judge’s charge to
them was able and clear as to their
duties, and was listened to with
marked attention by every one in
the court house.
The civil docket was taken up at
once, and the business of the term
is being pushed ahead as rapidly as
possible.
It is the general impression now
that court will not last all the'week.
Mrs. Rosa Camp who has been
with J. Regintine for the past
month, will be glad to wait on her
friends at A. Cohen’s.
Mrs. Rosa Camp, Mrs. Emma
Willingham and Miss Selita Smith

We Need the Train,
Covington wants a passenger
train coming up in the morning,
and one going down in the even¬
ing, on the Central of Georgia
railroad.
This can be easily arranged by
putting on an accommodation train
between Athens and Covington.
Train should leave Athens in the
morning, in time to meet the Cov¬
ington train for Macon at Machen,
as well as the Macon train for
Athens.
All three trains could meet at
Machen and exchange passengers
those from Athens going to Ma¬
con would change to the Covington
and Macon train ; and those com
ing from Macon and Athens, could
come right on to Covington in time
to connect here with the 11:28
train on the Georgia road to
Atlanta. .
Returning, the train for Athens
could leave Covington after the
4:20 p. m. train of the Georgia road
arrives from Atlanta, and meet the
trains from Athens and Macon at
Machen, where passengers would
transfer as before, and the train for
Athens would arrive there about 7
o’clock p. m.
With such a train put on, the
Central railway would have the tri¬
angular “field,” between Coving¬
ton, Macon and Athens, pretty
well covered, and would give the
traveling public a service that
would certainly meet every require¬
ment, and be entirely satisfactory
to everybody.
Covington is anxious to haye a
morning train up, and an evening
train down the road. Athens wants
a morning train out, and an even¬
ing train into the city, on the Cen¬
tral road, and we feel sure the peo¬
ple at every point along the line be¬
tween Covington and Athens, as
well as between Covington and Ma¬
con, would not only hail with de¬
light such a train service, but
would be greatly convenienced by
it.
We feel sure it is the desire of
the management of the Central
railway company to serve the trav¬
eling public satisfactorily and well,
and to afford every accommodation
possible, and believe the train be¬
tween Athens and Covington would
be put on if the people would only
request it.
We believe it would pay well
from the start. 1
Covington has always wanted a
train coming in, and an
train going out, on the
Central road ; while Athens wants
a morning train coming out, and
evening train going in, on the
same road, and the train we sug¬
will meet the requirements of
this “long felt want” exactly, and
we trust the Central will put it on
now.

Letter from Rev, S. C,
Concerning the Alamo and
Companion Buildings.
San Antonio, Texas, Mar. 14, ’02.
Editor Covington Star—Dear
Sir —As anticipated, I have found
San Antonio to be a city of no
small historic interest, Of course,
the famous Alamo is the place of
chief attraction, and it is thither
the tourist first finds his way. The
state owns the building, and it is
kept open all the time. I confess I
was rather disappointed at its ap¬
pearance, I was looking for a
more imposing structure. It is not
very large, but in other respects
my expectations were quite sat¬
isfied.
The Alamo is by far the most fa¬
mous of a series of ancient Span¬
ish Missions, built by the Francis¬
can Fathers, in the first half of the
eighteenth century, in and near
San Antonio, Texas. These early
Catholic Missions were built to
serve both as church and fortress,
with barracks, granaries, etc., the
whole being surrounded by a strong
wall of defense. It was here that
the Indians were to be converted,
and here also that a stronghold was
afforded, when the people were at¬
tacked by hostile native tribes.
The series has its head in the mag¬
nificent Catholic cathedral here in
the city.
With a young man from Oregon,
I visited this ancient church. It
is immense in its proportions. The
rear part is apparently of the same
age as all the other buildings men¬
tioned, but the front is of more re¬
cent date. It is said you can never
go there in the day time without
finding some worshiper present.
They were there on the day I went.
But this is’not strange, when it is
recalled that the membership is
is about ten thousand, mainly Mex¬
icans. On the left side is a life size
cast of Christ, in the arms of his
mother, who is in a sitting posi¬
tion, the purpose being to present
our Savior as he appeared immedi¬
ately after the lowering from the
cross, To me, the whole affair is
well-nigh sacreligious.
This ancient church faces the
square, where stands the beautiful
city hall. The Alamo stands on
the public plaza proper.
The First Mission is, I believe,
two miles down the San Antonio
river. Two miles below it is the
Second Mission. The Third is two
miles farther still, while the Fourth
and last, is some three miles be¬
yond that.
It is believed that this series of
buildings, beginning with the ca¬
thedral and ending with the Fourth
Mission, including the Alamo, was
intended to form a link in a great
chain of defenses, extending from
the Gulf to the Pacific, for the
purpose of holding the country
against the French.
I have visited, as I have already
said, the cathedral and the Alamo,
and besides spent one afternoon in
taking in the First Mission. This
last is the most imposing of all the
buildings except, of course, the ca¬
thedral, here in the city.
Great deeds and noteworthy inci¬
dents gather about the Alamo, and
I found the First Mission also a
very interesting place.
But it would make this letter too
long to go into details concerning
these places. Perhaps I may say
something further at some other
time.
I have been here now nearly six
weeks, and I pronounce this cli¬
mate well-nigh perfect. It is sun¬
shine almost every day, and such
splendid days they are. Arriving
here the 3d of February, I have
needed very little fire in* my stove.
Some trees are loaded with leaves
already, and where watered, yards
are green and beautiful. The re¬
cent general rain in Texas skipped
San Antonio. Rain is badly need¬
ed, I hear, to facilitate farming op¬
erations. But this belt is too dry
for farming, though the lands are
rich enough.
I may add, for the sake of breth
ren and friends among your read¬
ers in Covington, that I am im¬
proving in my health, not as rap¬
idly, to be sure, asone’s heart could
wish, but at any rate making en
couraging progress.
It sounds strangely to hear you
speaking of such severe weather,
since here it has been so very mild.
I send my regards to all who
may know me, and wish for old
Newton and Covington an early
spring and friutful season.
Fraternally,
S. C. HOOD.
