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 w ill be with Mr. A. Cohen for the season. You can hunt up your bait art fish hook now’. 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.

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. TOHIA. >w a.
