KM ahead did not amount to anything,
flie most interest centered in the race fot Representative and
surer, very popular men being candidates for these places. Mr.

{26- Mr. Stephenson won over bis nearest opponent by 42 major

day for the schools of the county,
with the largest attendance since
its institution five years ago. The

credit is due Prof. G. C. Adams,

whose untiring efforts the success
of the oratorical is mainly due.

ROSE FESTIVAL
A SUCCESS.
United Daughters of the Con¬
federacy and Woman’s Club
Realized Neat Sum of $30.
Wednesday afternoon of last
week, at Mrs. E. 0. Lee’s hand¬
some home on Monticello street,
Covington, the Covington Chapter
Daughters of the Confod
ancy, and the Covington Woman’s
Club, held a rose festival. About
$80 was realized, which will go to
the Wirz monument at Anderson
ville and the Covington Library.
The hall, living room, library,
parlor and porch of Mrs. E. O.
Lee’s home were a perfect fairy
land of magnificent roses. On
mantels, stands and tables and in
every nook and corner roses of all
sizes and colors were cleverly and
effectively arranged. The punch
bowl on the porch was pesided
over by several little girls. Chil¬
dren of the confederacy.
An admission fee was charged
and ice cream was sold on the
moonlit lawn by the children of
tile Confederacy.
The Daughters and the members
of the Woman’s Clud have enjoy¬
ed a most successful year. A
great amount of study has been
done, thereby combining instruc¬
tion with pleasure. A history of
Georgia has been nearly complied
by the Daughters, while the Wo¬
man’s Club is about half through
with Miss Rutherford’s American
authors. Both have been inter¬
estlllg, and al IllOSt perfect leSSOHS
are recited at each meeting. Mrs.
P. W. Qrodfrey and Mrs. Jno. B.
Davis, presidents of the Uni
Daughters of the Confederacy
Wffmanfs Club, are euffitisiastic
over their work, and are untiring
in the efforts to stimulate interest.
During the year the Daughters
of the Confederacy has contribu¬
ted to several worthy enterprisers,
among which wus a donation of
$25 to the Winnie Davis Memorial
at Athens. Several contributions
to the North Georgia model
schools have recently been made
by the Covington Woman’s Club.
Mr. Adams Writes Card.
Editor Enterprise: — Please
allow me space in your paper to
express my thanks for the gener¬
ous support given me in my race
for representative. It is and
should be a source of gratification
to know that we huve so many
good friends. About 600 of those
doubtless thought I could best
serve the intesest of the county as
a member of the legislature. Per¬
haps about the same number
thought that l ohuld render better
service by remaining at home and
attending to mv little 'private af¬
fairs. And it may he Irue that
there were a few who were perfect¬
ly indifferent as to whether I did
either or not. However, as it can
only be as it is, let us all be thank¬
ful for the friends we have and live
so as to merit them and strive for
the common good of all.
Very Respectfully,
' D. J. ADAMS.
