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 ' J 10 J^ * » ■SOT' £ a QSQQQQQQQGG c GENERAL NEWS. o % cocccocaoooc Twenty-ono ships were added to Uncle Sam’s merchant marine dtsr nt r the last half of October. The total tonnage is 5,209. Only two of these were built on the Pacific, j one at Klamath Palls, Ore., and the other at Everett, Wash. 1 What’s in name is receiving ex¬ ! a emplification these days in New York newspapers. Murphy and McCarren of Tammany are being ; held up lo obloquy for offenses not proven but suspected, while 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 re-elected Mayor, of Thomaston, for the seventh sonsecutive tune. Associate Justice, Jno. S. Cand¬ ler, of the Supreme Court, will likely tender his resignation about January 1st. He will enter the practice of law at once, opening offices in Atlanta. Congress has voted eleven mil¬ lion dollars towards the construc¬ tion of the Panama Canal. Southern Bell Telephone Com¬ pany wjll increase its cap’tal stock from one to thirty million dollars. The phenominal increase in busi¬ ness is the cause. The Central of Georgia will prob¬ ably build a handsome new depot at Athens on tue site of the Dead wyler warehouse which was re¬ cently burned. Will Owens, who lives near Commerce, shot and killed his fa¬ ther on Monday. He had been drinking and became enraged be¬ cause bis father reproved him for driving the horses too hard. Ow¬ ens hasjjnot yet been arrested, but is still living with his family. $878,511 has been raised for the Jews in Russia. The sum was fixed at $1,000,000, and there will probably be no difficulty in raising that amount. Doctors Said He Would Not Live. Peter Fry, Woodruff, Pa., writes “Af¬ ter doctoring for years with the best physicians in Waynesburg, and still getting worse, the doctors advised me if I had any business to attend to I bad better attend to it at once, as I could not possibly live another month as there was no cure for in e. Folev’s Kidney Cure was recommended to me by a friend and I immedialy sent my sen to the store for it and after tak three bottles I began to get belter and continued to improve until I was en *»rely well."’ It is a mighty good habit to get into—that of saying something good of your town on every occa s ion. Suppose that every letter— business and personal—that went out from Covington closed with some pity remark about the town.

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 as per of Uncle I if it wasn’t bringing fifteen just take it over to Hay’s and leave it, for he it soon would bring that They had S oUl e„„u K h at a good price to get j smack out of debt and both 1 a wad of green backs as big as ! arm for the Xmas shopping, Uncle Si’s last words to John, as whipped the mules into a gal iop down the road was for him to 9e sure and go Gy Jun Stepheu sous and bring the nails and paint 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, Tiie secret was an open book for one of her friends had seen her in Adairs. She had bought an uu usual lot of fiue dress patterns and an abundance of lace3, ihat it sure ly was to go into wedding gar¬ ments. You know Adair’s is the regular meccaot prospective brides, Her actions only confirmed the suspicion of her friends when she was seen in Cooks buying several of those lovely hats that his place is famous foi ceating. ike beauti 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 morning of December 20th opened clear and cold.

Alice had a 1 ready been to Franklin’s and pur chased a bag of Masooutah Star flour, for her wedding eake, for this being her first wedding, she said, she certainly must start right, John, looking into his pocketbook, found that change was running a little short and yet lie lnid a few more necessary purchases to make, The sign of the New York Bargain Store struck his eye ai.d he felt relieved. After buying freely thete he found his list yet incomplete. He remetnberad one of his married friends lulling him he would soon wish money was made out of tub ber, 80 he stepped into Cohen’s where 75. go-s a. tar as a dollar and completed his purchase. w * * * 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.
