WE WANT YOU
■ FOR A PARTNER.
We have always believed in co-operation, believe
in it now, and always will.
The publication business, in the hands of compe
tant men, is a handsome dividend payer. There
are stock companies owninig and operating a pub¬
lishing plant in dozens of Georgia towns that do not
offer near the advantages, nor the possibilities that
are offered right here in Covington, yet they all pay
dividends.
Covington and its surrounding towns have a pop¬
ulation of 5000, while Newton county has about
Si 18000. There being but two publications in the
county, The Enterprise and the Mansfield Leader,
5 only one at the county site, its opportunity to make
8 good profits is excellent.
$ In our opinion the Enterprise Publishing Co., is
$ £ going to be a big success—a dividend paying success.
But let’s get down to business. In the first place
I the amount of capital stock will be $3,000.00, 300
if shares of $10.00 each—each share being full paid
I and non-assessable. The shares are put at this small
cost to give all a chance. The man with little as
well as the man with much, and that the co-operative
idea may be carried out. only a limited amount will
be sold to any one person.
M In offering you this proposition we offer you some¬
thing that has been tried—that bears all earmarks of
success—a good dividend producer. This is not
guess work, not theory, but fact.
You can buy this stock at the very low price of
$10.00 per share.
Your money will go into an established enterprise.
You may expect a dividend on e /ery dollar you in¬
vest.
You will not run any great risk.
You will not be speculating.
You will not be going into an untried proposition.
You will be making a conservative business in¬
vestment.
We have shown our faith in the Enterprise by put¬
't; ting our own money into it. and we honestly believe
m it to be a good investment.
Some of our most prominent citizens jiave t»v>V
scribed stock. Some of our stockholders represent
M the acme of business integrity and financial success.
We would publish their names but such men do not,
as a rule, like to be exploited before the public.
It is a business that will bear the closest investiga¬
tion. We invite prospective purchasers of stock to
examine our books.
Don’t you as a business man want to make such
an investment?
Remember in buying Enterprise stock you are not
buying goldmine stock; you are not buying futures,
betting on the other fellows game, but you are buy¬
ing a tangible asset, that has a marketable value.
You take practically no chance of loss. The propo¬
sition is safe, conservative, a dividend producer of
splendid possibilities.
We want you to understand that there will be no
handsome salaries paid. There wtll not be a multi¬
tude of managers. The object of The Enterprise is
not primarily to furnish someone with a job, but to
work for the moral and material advancement of
Coving on and Newton county.
I We want the co-operation of business men all over
the county, especially farmers, but for that reason we A
r would raise the stock right here in Covington. T
I Sign the certificate below and mail to Enterprise '
A Publishing Co., Covington, Ga., and will
your name I
£ be entered on our books. Or if you wauld rather i
remit the amount of stock to E. R. Gunn or G. IT. 1
Cornwell, receipt will be mailed you, and as soon as
! the stock is issued the certificate of stock will be sent
you. Remember it takes time to become incorpo¬ I
rated.

advertisement with such an un¬
usual heading reads: i ( Wanted—

who desires to lead a Christian

Judge Foster, of Madison, is al¬
so attending the court as counsel.
A Superior Court held in Newton
county would look dull in the ab¬
sence of Judge Foster. There is
a rumor that the Judge contem¬
plates making the race for the
judgeship of the Ocmulgee circuit.
We are for Judge Foster in all his
political undertakings, and, if he
decides to make the race, The En¬
terprise is for him against all his
opponents, whoever they may be.
The usual throng of witnessess
crowd the court house. Crime it
seems will never cease, and the
courts from mon h to month;
year to year; continue their ceas
less grind. The writers of ancient
mythology said that the mills of
the gods ground slowly. These
writers and the gods have long
passed away ; but our courts hive
taken their places, and they, as in¬
stitutions of justice, still continue
the grind. Will this grinding
ever cease? Not till human na¬
ture ceases to understand each
other, and to know the subtle
question sociology.

There are three learned profes¬
sions, medicine, law and theology
We do not pretend to say a w r ord
on the hardship of the ones who
try to cure mankind of their phy¬
sical ills, or those who, perhaps,
have a worse job of curing the
most serious of all disorders—the
moral and spiritual; but we do ex
press a positive sympathy for the
lawyer, who has to meet people
and defend clients in their fighting
mood. A doctor may see his pa¬
tients in the patient’s dying hand,
when all the sins of the patient
may pass in review before the dy¬
ing person. The physician has
little to do, with such an unfortu¬
nate being who called him, except
to console him with the fact that
no professional aid, except writing
his will, “can touch him further. ) 1
The lawyer meets people in t heir
fighting mood, and the lawyer who
cannot stand the smoke of the bat¬
tle will be found weighed in the
balances and found wanting. All
the lawyers attending the court
this week, both local and visiting,
belong to the fighting corps and
who will stand for their clients to
any sort of a finish.
BASEBALL FOR
MEMORIAL DAY.
(by sporting editor.)
11 nas circulated around
town that there will be a practice
game on Memorial Day, the teams
consisting of some of last year’s
players who liked Covington well
enough to remain here during the
winter.
It is understood that there is
some opposition to this on account
of Memorial exercises, The game
might be played early in the after¬
noon, so as not to interfere with
the exercises of that day, That
this game would arouse fandom is
not doubted and the base ball
spirit is what we need now. We
sincerely hope that the spring
practice will begin soon.
Real fans with the real spirit
have already discovered that Guy
Boyd is to be with the Covington
team tlr’s season. While Guy
didn’t do much work last season
on account of his arm which was
not in working order. We are
glad to learn that lus arm is m
good form, ready ' for the many
battles this season. Every one
knows Guy well enough to have
implicit faith in his work, l ( Don’t
disappoint us old boy. ) 1

The pastor of the Baptist churcil
was in his pulpit again and spoke!
at the morning service upon Faith] tb!
text in Mark 11:22, “Have
in God 11
In part he said “Woildly phj|J re-l
osophies, false gods, and false
lieions may serve as props for lift,I the]
soul in well and prosperous
but when critical hours, hours ofl
critical necessities come, tb?| the]
prove insufficient. Then it is
soul which demands a worthier
object for its faith. Faith is s
precious gift of God, but is often
wrapped in a napkin and buried,
Christ’s peculiar mission was to
restore faith in God.
Faith in God is of utmost im¬
portance:
1 Because our hope of heaven
depends upon. “Without faith it
is impossible to please God.” The
devil’s first attack was upon the
woman's faith in God. His attack
upon Job was an attack upon
faith. Faith saves by supplying!
medium through which God and
our spirits can communicate. On
Truth saves. Faith enables us to
see things in their right relations.
Again,
2 Because it is such faith that
saves the life. Decisive battles
not all fought on the fields of
Waterloo or Marenjo, etc. In the
soul invisible battles are fought
and won or 1 ost. Faith wins,
Faith throws new light upon our
hindrances. It pierces beyond and
sees wrongs righted, inequalities
adjusted. Aiso,
3 Because faith equips for ser
vice. As co-workers with God we
must link our weakness to God’s
ommpatence. Nehemiah is a
graud example of faith as lie builds
the walls of Jerusalem. Luther's
motto was “The Just shall live by
faith. > ) Carey’s “Undertake great
things for God,expect great things
of God,” It takes faith in Christs
victorious Kingdom to believe in
Foreign Missions,”

Quite a number of Mr. Knox's

jolly good time and the evening
was one of rare pleasure. The
refreshments were orange sherbet
