I AM SELLING MORE SHOES AND BETTER SHOES-THE BATTLE-AXE SHOES. E. E. PARKER.
Mr. L. A. Clark Enters
Mercantile Business.
Mr. L- A. Clark, one of our
n’jost progressive and up to date
young business men, has opened a
general merchandise, fertilizer
anc } su pply business on East side
of scmare. His stock of goods is
daily arriving and he is now open
and ready for business.
Mr. Clark needs no commenda
lion from us as he is too well
known to the people of Covington
and Newton county, having been
connected with the popular firm
of Lee & Anderson, who have just
jetired from business, for the past
ten years, and is at present mayor
of the city of Covington.
We predict for Mr. Clark and
his new undertaking much success
and commend him to the trading
public.

The Printer’s Devil.
The term printer’s devil ar ap¬
plied to the boy who does the
choring around a printing office
has a peculiar romantic history.
In early days printing was styled
the “plack art ” and pi inters were
suppossed to be in league with
Satan. But it was in the time of
Aldus Minutes in Venice that the
matter took a serious turn. This
was the famous pi inter who first
published the Greek and Roman
classics lie took into his em
ploy a negro boy who was home¬
less on the streets of Venice.
The people supposed the boy was
an imp from Satan and that he
assisted in printing. Mobs col¬
lected about the office and were
about to wreck it, when the boy
was brought toward and exhibited
showed that he was flesh and
blood, but he was still called “the
printers devil’, and everybody in
his position ever since has been so
called.

A Thoroughbred Countryman.
Hon Jim Price, the next repre¬
sentative from Oocnee county, is a
thorough bred one-gallus country¬
man and you can never make
anything else of him. The Ma¬
sonic lodge of Athens handsomely
equipped their rooms and in their
parlor placed gas logs in the fire¬
place, and which is an exact rep¬
resentation of an old fashioned
rustis log fire burning. A few
days since Jim Price visited Ath¬
ens’ and being a brother Mason,
he was carried into the lodge
room to see the new furnishing
Noticing the log fire, Jim drew up
before it, but as it did not throw
out enough heat, he gave those
asbestos logs a kick with his pon¬
derous brogans, and in a flash
knocked them into a heap of kind¬
ling wood It took $3 worth of
plumbing to reaarrange those logs.
We nominate our friend Price for
chairman of the agricultural com¬
mittee when he takes his seat in
the legislature, and are sure that
after this demonstration, Jack
Slaton will give him the place.

Banner Office Hints.
Never send articles for publica¬
tion without giving thy name, for
thy name often secures the publica¬
tion of a worthless article.
Thou slmuldst never read the
copy on the printer’s case, or on
the hook containing same, or he
may knock thee down.
Never inquire of the editor the
news, for behold it is his business
to give it to thee in due time,
without, thy asking for it.
It is not right that thou should
st ask him who is the author of an
aitide, for it is his duty to keep
such things to himself.
Neither examine thou the proof
sheet, for it is not ready to meet
thine ete that thou maysfc under¬
stand.—Ashburn Farines.
