Covington, Ga., Dec., 15, 1905
Here’s to Mayor Clark! May
his administration be the best
possible.
It is said that the gubernatorial
election is the politicians vs the
common people.
Covington has outgrown herself.
There is not a vacant house to be
had in the city.
The cotton market ii playing
the see-saw act, up one day and
clown the next.
Over $18,000,000 worth of prop¬
erty was returned by Georgia ne¬
groes last year.
The entire Georgia press sym¬
pathize with Editor Vaughn, of
Miiledgeville, in his recent illness.
Certainly the South Is great
when she can take three million
bales of cotton from the markets
of the world.
Small industries are a great help
ti any town but the greatest need
of Covington just now is the tree
tion ot more residences.
Christmas shopping is on in ear¬
nest. The streets of Covington
have been packed for several days
with the holiday hunters.
Now, suppose you make your
friend or relative in a distant coun¬
ty or state a Christmas present by
sending him or her the Enterprise
for one year. It will be a constant
reminder of your friendship.
Was it at all strange that the Re¬
publicans would sweep the county
when most of the big insuraiict
companies were donating to the
campaign fund of from leu to
thirty thousand each?
William Randolph Ilearst loses
his fight for a recount of the bal¬
lots cast in the municipal election.
Mr. Hearst made a game fight and
it is the opinion of nearly every
New Yorker that ha was elected
but counted out.
A duty you owe yourseif and
family is to patronize your home
paper, not as a matter of charity,
but as an investment. A newspa¬
per does more for the developement
of a town than any factor in it,
and gets less for it.
We learn that there will be a half
dozen candidates for Clerk of
Council and about as many for
Marshall. Now, boys, some of
you are going to get left, because
all can't get these offices. Now,
when you are turned down, don’t
get huffy and go to abusing the
town. Only little men do that.
Mr. Harvey Jordan would find
his carnpa gn would be moro suc
ce8sful against the money power
of Wall street to fix the price of
cotton and stand by it. For in¬
stance, the association met at Asli
ville early in September and put
the price at eleven cents; now he
is advocating holding for firteen
cents. Let the association meet
and j say that ... not . a pound . of cotton
will be sold less than 10 cents and
then leave it to the judgement of
the producer as to whether he will

Twenty-ono ships were added to

a
emplification these days in New

Platt and Depevv go scot free for
acknowledged turpitude. The As
tors and Goulds who escape taxa¬
tion on personal property by trans¬
ferring their residences to England
and New Jersey are immune from
journalistic fury, but the floodgates
are opened on Thomas F. Ryan
because he retains the home of his
nativity in Virginia as his voting
pace.
The state of New York has just
appropriated $50,000,000 to be judi¬
ciously expended in the repuilding
and improvement of the highways
of that commonwealth. The fact
that they are already in fair condi¬
tion, demonstrates that the thrifty
farmers of that state see the prac¬
tical worth of an investment
which shall still further enhance
their usefulnes. Georgia, of
course, has no such sum to put at
the disposal of a road buildiug
commission; but we cite New York
as showing the awakening of sen
timent in this regard at,d we are,
furthermore, convinced that much I
can be accomplished by systematic
and universal effort.
James R. Atwater has just been

“GRAPE VINE TWIST.”
<a>
There was such a change about
the old place that the passers-by
could not help talking about it.
Ln fact they declared tilings
looked mighty suspicious.
For years Uncle Si’s old home
was gradually going to the bad,
not a llower adorned the yard,
for only he and his nephew, John,
lived there. But now things were
happening a little out of the regu
lar order. Uncle Si, a joval old i
with long, white beard and a 1
merry twinkle in his eye had a
pleasant word for everybody.
Crops had been good, the har
made and fall ploughing near
completed.
John had just left with the last
bales of cotton instructions for Covington, j

Uncle Si’s last words to John, as

he had bought over the phone, for
he had made up his mind that
when Alice Jenkms sot her foot in
that door as mistress of that old
home, she should find the place as
clean and easy as Uncle Si’s wife
use to keep it in tn-r life tune,
Alice was a sweet girl, just bud
ding into womanhood, and was
the only daughter of Uncle 8i’s
nearest neighbor. There had been
a little matter of the heart between
herself and John for a long time,
but the agony was about over,

Adairs. She had bought an uu
usual lot of fiue dress patterns and
an abundance of lace3, ihat it sure

Her actions only confirmed the
suspicion of her friends when she

fuljdiamond that sparkled from
her long tapering finger was a re
cent pmchase of John s while
was looking over Jeweler Sai'i’s
stock. Outwaid appearances could
no longer conceal the state of af
fairs so the friends ot the popular
young couple were finally made
wise by the receipt of beautiful
wedding invitations from the job
press of the Enterprise, naming
the date December 20th and place,
“at home, ’ time, 8 m.
Now this was indeed 4 4 the oc
casion ’ of the year in the settle
ment. Alice’s young lady friends
were now planning for the sweetest
wedding that had ever happened
in old Newton. -John’s friends
were not to be out-dune in the mat¬
ter. High priced cotton had put,
the boys in a position to “put on
the dog too, so taken all together,
there was going to be swell clothes
and swell eating at that “knot-:
tioing.” |

The shades of night were coming
on. The moon in all her glory,
cast its beautiful mantel over the
earth. It was mighty ne^r “do<mi
time” with John and Alice. The
clatter of horses hoofs and the rol
ling of Norman buggies was the
only noise to be heard. It was a
beautiful sight that met the eye
as Alice and John were plighted
The hands of loving friends had
transformed the home into an
eden of flowers and vines. The
room where the wedding presents
were displayed looked like the in
tenor of The Harrison Co's s ore
in its abundance of cut class, China
clocks and beautiful art goods. In
fact, Alice jokingly told John that
it was only in the hope of gettiug
some of the lovely goods from the
Harrison Co., fot wedding pres
ents that made her want to get
married,
The knot tied, the feast eaten,
the dining room was cleared. Un¬
til two o’clock in the morning the
crowd made merry, breaking up
with the Old Virginia reel, to the
fiddle and the straws.

Uncle Si welcomed Alice to her
new home and aj he kissed her
sweet led lips, he placed tne deeds
to the home in her hands, She
accepted them only upon condition
that he would spend the balance
0 f his life with them. Jn talking
