COVINGTON, GA. FRIDAY, APRIL 13, f906.
WHERE IS THE
BOARD OF TRADE?
Board Should be Re-organized
And all of our Citizens Should
Take a Hand.
Several days ago a gentlemen
came into our city bringing with
him his son. He inquired for the
board of trade, none was to be
found. Not a person in town
could tell him anything about such
a thing as a Board of Trade, some
two or three assured him that there
was something of the sort here.
After a while he stumbled upon
Love Clark, our popular mayor.
Love being a geniel sort of a fel¬
low and somewhat talktive made a
very favorable impression upon
this gentlemen, so he told Love
his troubles. Here they are: “I
came to Covington, with the inten¬
tion of opening up a gent’s furnish¬
ing iine, I had heard that it wa 3 a
progressive town, and inasmuch as
I wanted to go into business more
for my. son’s sake than mine I
wanted to find a real live place. I
could find no one that could or
would give me any information at
all. I asked about renting a store,
but could find none for rent- > y
He left us saying he did not know
whether he would return or not.
Covington is badly in need of
some disruption of a bureau of
information to prospective citizens
The Board of Trade should be
revived, resuscitated, reorganized
or re-anything else to make is use¬
ful to the town.
We have a mayor that is talking
Covington and Newton county
every chance lie gets; but he can¬
not do all, he must have some help.
Let some of our live citizens get
together and agree on some plan
ty-'which we may encourage good
men looking for a location to come
here. Lets advertise our town as
an excellent place. It is a fine
town ; only we must tell those who
do not know it as well as we do.
We know the good qualities so
well that we seem to think every
one in the world ought to know
too.
Let us resolve never to let an¬
other person come her^,looking for
information about a location that
you don’t find some one who can
in an official capacity of some kind
to aid him and assure him of a
glad welcome.
If you do this you’ll be surprised
at what a difference it will make in
the growth of our town.
Mr. Ballard For Representative.
In this issue of The Enterprise
will be seen the annoxncement of
Mr. F. D. Ballard for Representa¬
tive. Mr. Ballard is well known
throughout the county and has
been assooiated with several capi¬
talistic enterprises. His many
friends will be pleased on learning
ef his announcement and will rally
to his support. Mr. Ballard is a
business man of wide experience
and if elected he no doubt will
honor his county in the State’s
representative halls He authori
zes the statement that in a later
i ssue of The Enterprise he will
announce his platform.
HAVE YOU REGISTERED?
The Registration Books Will
Close On April 26 th.
It will be well for thoso who
have not registered to note that the
registration books for the county
will close April 28. All who have
not registered by that time will be
debarred from voting in the coming
primary election.
The Tax Collector, Mr \V. S.
Ramsey, authorizes the statement
that any one who will mail him
his name, occupation and age, can
get his name on the regitration
list.
RAILROAD NOT
YET A CERTAINTY.
No Steps Yet Taken Concerning
Railroad From Covington
To Logansville.
In our last issue we had some¬
thing to say about a railroad from
here to Logansville. So far that
is all that we have heard of it; no
other living soul has said one thing
that we have heard.
Soc^l Circle is in earnest about
this proposed road, we ought to be.
What are,we going to do about it?
Some years ago the citizens of
Walnutgrove took the matter of
running a road to Covington up
with the Georgia authorities, no
one in or around here gave any en¬
couragement at all, it was a failure.
This time she goes whore she can
get encouragement.
K road from here to Logansvil! e
would open up one of the richest
farming sections in Georgia, it
would bring to Covington hun¬
dreds of tjjonsands dollars every
year. Walnutgrove is growing
with a rapidity that startles the
unanitiated. Its business transac¬
tions runs up into the hundreds of
thousands, its bank does a nice
business ant has a goodly savings
account. Logansville is not be¬
hind time at all. Its citizenry is
live and progressive.
Along the route that this road
would run live some of our most
successful farmers. A right of way
could be secured without much, if
any cost to the company. All in
the world that the Georgia road
authorities need is to have the
matter placed before them in the
right light. Will Covington grasp
the opportunity as it now presents
Seldom does an opportuni¬
ty like this present itself a second
time; this is the case this time.
Along With Our Merchants.
One of the prettiest and most
attractive spring displays of goods
seen in Covington recently is the
window of C. E. Cook’s showing
springs hats and other kinds of
ladies wear. Mr. Cook is an adept
at tasty arrangement.
Mr. Wolf Cohen, one of our clev¬
er merchants, not ofely shows good
tasre in the purchase of his goods
but has a most happy knack of so
arranging things as to make his
place a most attractive and invit¬
ing one.
Mrs. Scruggs who recently en¬
tered the millinery business cer¬
tainly must be putting on the mar
ket something nice in h*-r line.
You never go about her place of
business that yo do not see every
one busy. Whenever this is the
case it, is a sign of pleased cus¬
tomers.
The General Tax Act.
On August 1st, 1905, a General

Governor, Comptroller Gener¬
and State Treasurer are requir¬

Love For Newton County And
Her People.
Since a child of three years old
my lot has been cast with the peo¬
ple of Newton county. First a
child, thed a youth, then a school
boy, then fenrly manhood, then the
zenith of my life to old age—84
years, the most of which time I
have spent in Newton county; so
in a cense, I feel like that Newton
is ray natural mother, being in a
physical sense made up of the wa¬
ter drank, food ate, atmosphere
breathed and sunshine of Heaven
that has given me both my physi¬
cal and mental being. So it has
heen but natural for me to lovi
Newton county and her people,
with whom I have been so inti¬
mately and closely associated, both
ill the social and religious life dur*
ing my long life.
New toll county is rich in her fer¬
tile soil, her many creeks, rivers,
and splendid water power for ma¬
chinery, among the best of any
other county in the stale of Geor¬
gia. So vfe have our mills, fac¬
tories and other machinery of in¬
terest to be found all over the
county. Her farming interest is a
success and her mercantile business
handled a9 it is by wise and dis¬
creet men is a honor to any county
in the state of Georgia.
Newton county in her fertile
soil is grand—fine water power for
machinery, her mi Us,gins factories,
banks, and for her field products
that bring such large revenue, by
taxation, for the support of the
government; but the greatest seen
above her .financial prosperity is
her high order of intellect.
Among her professional men are
lawyers, doctors, teachers, preach¬
ers, bishops, and other first honor
nnii and,women, who have gone
out fiom Covington and Oxford as
brilliant lights in the galaxy of
human glory. Since the founding
of Emory College at Oxford by Dr.
Few 70 years ago, Newton county
has been honored by graduates of
Emory College, who have filled al¬
most every station of honor, either
in political, civil or ecclesiastical
government, aud today Newton
county according Jo population
stands the rival of any county in
the state of Georgia.

eits of New ton county and the state a
