SMITH Editor and Proprietor. SUBSCRIPTION $1 PER YEAR Entered at the Covington Postoffice as Secor.d-CIass Mail Matter. Covington, Ga., Oct . 3. 1905 The poultry exhibit at the State Fair will be gnod. The demand for dweltiug horses is increasing and few are being erected to meet the demand. With the advent of the fall, the price of cotton begins tumbling. This fall has been an exception to the iule. The new Atlantic Cable from New York to China and japan will bo laid and in operative by April 1st 1906. A “labor agent” of a cotton mill was caught at Sheffield, Ala., Iasi Friday night and chastised with rawhide whips. The State Fair will open in At¬ lanta next Monday. We regret that Newton will not be represent¬ ed in the county exhibits. An election for local taxation will be held in Morgan County on Sat¬ urday, October 21st. Both sides are lining up lor a hard fight. The long drouth was broken Friday and the dust laid, when a slight sprinkle of ruin fell all day. It was muchly needed and a wel¬ come guest. Local School taxation is popular in Georgia. E/ery county that has voted on the proposition has adopted it by an overwhelming majority, says the Madisonian. Mrs. Amanda Cobb, of Roystoi., has been indicted by the grand jury for the murder of her husband. She has been arrested by the sheriff and will be held in custody until her case is called this week. This fall like the preceeding one has been a dry one and many of our people have suffered from the inconvenience of having their well of water dry or so low that it it was hardly of any practical benefit. Every farmer who owns land should sow a wheat crop. Every tenant who does not own land should arrange to sow a few acres in wheat. This thing of depend¬ ing entirely upon cotton for every thing is only making the rich grow richer and the poor grow poorer.— Henry Couuty Weekly. Governor Jelks, of Alabama, has pardoned Ann Baker, a white wo¬ man and Early Mercer, a negro man, who are serving a sentence in the penitentiary for miscegena¬ tion. Information in the hands of the governor has led him to believe that they were convicted by false ■wearing on the part of the State’s chief witness. Dan’l J. Sully says: “It rests with you to decide the price at which the present crop of cotton is to be sold. You have shown your ability to combat the combined in¬ fluence of the largest crop of cotton ever raised, and the united attacks of bearish speculations in all the future markets of the world. If you you can can get eet 10 10 cents cents for fn a crop of r nearly 14,000,000 bales you cer tainly can get the worth of the crop that is many million bales leS '- X '" w»«a»*s£yb«»^r....._ REMINISCENCE . i A i Of the 7hirty*Fifth Georgia Reg¬ iment in 1861. Mu. Editor : Every department of all the nr { mies of cur war was fruitful of in¬ teresting incident on which the .survivors delight to dwell and of which they will never grow weary. What I am about to relate, hap¬ pened in the department of trans i potation It is a fact, likely to Le over¬ looked that the panic among the teamsters at the First Manassas contributed largely to what finally ripened into the disastrous rout ot the Federal army. But to our in cid nt: The 35th Ga. Regiment, in the closing months of 1861, after com¬ pleting its organization in Rich¬ mond, was ordered to Evansport on the southern banks of the Po t >mac. The suddenness of the ord t led us to believe that it meant business. We left the cars on a dull and dreary Sunday afternoon, at Brooks Station a few miles from our des¬ tinations. Friend and foe were cleaning out their big guns along the river, but we gave the firing a more serious interpretation. Early Monday morumg the heav ily loaded wagons were set in mo¬ tion and quite a number of six mule teams were required to move us. On a hill not far from where we started one of our finest teams— Col. Ii. L Thomas’ staff wagon— came to a stall in trying to turn the steepest part of the hill, very muddy and badly cut by the army wagons. The new road, through the woods, proved to be far worse. Our six mules were at a stubborn standstill, looking back at the timer m despair and prancing about over the ground when urged by the driver’s whip and yell. All hands caught the spirit the team and were standing and lolling about discussing the situa ti >n and the probabilities of get¬ ting away from there, when up walked a tall, raw bone fellow with his hands in his pockets and wear¬ ing on his face a look of astonish¬ ment; and he went on to observe, “Men, why don’t you pull out of here? No reason lor staying here, stuck in the mud this way.” “Stranger,” said onr driver, “if you know Miy more about wagon¬ ing than I do, you can handle these mules, '’ whereupon he dismounted and surrendered with some grace, temporarily, the houors of the reins. Now, there was about the stran ger an air that told plainly that he had been raised on wagoning. He followed|up his criticism ot the situation with rather a pompous bearing dropped an occasional re¬ mark of surprise that soldiers,with any experience at all should be there when they ought to have been to the top of the hill and on the road long ago. The way he took charge led us to believe that he was going to shorten our time in that mire in short order. He first walked around the wagon and examined every part minutely—the wheel, the body, the tongue, the load. Then he examined the team, one mule at a time and the gear even to the smallest strap and buckle. He would open the blinds on the bridle and look seriously and thoughtfully into the faces of the mules, patting them and saying strange things to them in a low voice. He halted at the leader—a • mall mule black and shiny as a wheat bug and trim as a deer, with foxy ears and a trifle more nervous than the rest of the team ' When > he turned ayvay from that mule we paw that he had introduced him, • mall as he was as the biggest fac¬ tor in his calculations. The examination of the wagon and gear, and the diagnosis of the team oil over, he addressed us: <. xt uW m f”’ 1 r ll,8t be obeyed in ‘ ’ “ all my orders: I want the driver to get ou his saddle mule, and at the proper time, I will mount the leader.

I will bring a whoop, and then all together, every man in his place and at his best.” Not being stout enough to count, and unwilling to be in the way, and there being more of stalwart men than were needed, I took my stand, out of the way, by a little tree to watch the outcome. The stranger’s legs were ao long it was an easy thing to mount the little leader. Settling himself firmly on his whoop and every man at the wheels bowed himself, and responded with a loud, stirring yell, enough, it seemed to me, to scare the team to the top of the hill, and it would have done it if there had been the calculated virtue in the whoop and surge. The little steel spring leader, so frightened that he did not know what else to do, reached his back, and measured the ground among the saplings with his rider nt a distance that would have sounded increditable if I had not seen it with my own eyes. There lay the rider until he could lecover his breath, and all over the ground were the men roll¬ ing aud making the woods ring with the soldier laugh, and the sol¬ dier remarks. Rising from the ground, and brushing off the leaves and mud, our expert in wagoning left the subject with us, aud, stooped a little about the shoulders and his hands returned to his packets, he walked quietly away, casting a parting glance at the lit- ! tie black mule in the lead, and a 1°°^ won der at us that we should ,mve f ‘ >und so milch to lan gh at in s) small a space.
