Oxford Lyceum Entertainment.
The last of the lyceuui enter¬
tainments for the present year will
be given at the auditorium on
Saturday evening, April 27th, at
8 o’clock. It promises to be the
best musical event of the season.
The entertainers for that even
ing are as follows:
Miss Florence Pace, the violinist
is one of Chicago’s most gifted
singers, and of national fame. By
her beautiful voice and dramatic
style she captivates her audience
and her return engagement is gen
erally desired.
Miss Kling is among the best
readers on the platform. Critics
and the press unite in conceding
to her the qualities requisite lor
the artists—original talent, grace,
and a voice of rare sweetLess.
Miss Marie Evans, ot Oxford,
possesses marvelous musical abili¬
ty and is eminently fitted for the
position of pianist and accompan¬
ist with this company. Her play¬
ing is brilliant with wonderful
technique and elasticity of tone.
The local management considers
itself quite fortunate in securing
these young ladies to entertain us,
and it hopes that a full house will
be present.

The New Baptist Church
A Public Enterprise.
A town is judged by its public
buildings. !}
Houses of worship are public
utilities of at least as great impor¬
tance as court houses, school houses
or water works.
The Baptists of Covington have
launched an enterprise beyond
their own immediate needs, be¬
lieving in the future of our town
and trusting.to a public-spirited
interest on the part of a generous
people,
The new Baptist house of wur
ship will be not only an ornament
and a credit to the municipality,
but it will tend to enhance the
value of every foot of property
within its corporation.
They have made no canvass of
the town and it is by no means
certain that they shall do so, but
they confidently r«ly upon the
good will and backing of a thought¬
ful public.
Such a progressive 9tep as this
would not be possible in some
communities.
There are those in places who,
like the American cuckoo which
lays its eggs in alien nests to be
hatched, never do anything to
keep their lellows and little even
to themselves, trusting to time
and chance to drop plums into
their own mouths and never have
anything except what is given
them.
This narrow and selfish view
robs them of the real enjoyment
which comes from pursuing a lib¬
eral policy.
Mutual helpfulness is the trust
philosophy of happiness.
Experience as well as Scripture
teaches us that “none of us livetli
to himself. J J
The handsome subscription and
proffers of help which have al¬
ready come to us unsolicited are
greatly, and we trust a broad
xuiuded citizen-ship to feel that it
is a privilege to encourage such a
Divine, and at the same time such
a humane undertaking.
Most cordially, I
Eugene R. Pendelton, Pastor. I

Covingtonites In Macon.
On Tuesday of last week our
genial friends, Capt. J. M. Pace,
Messrs. R. P. Le3ter and R R
Fowler nod Dr. Geo. T. Smith be¬
took themselves to the Central
City in order to attend the Grand
Council of the Royal Arcanum.
On Wednesday morning the Ed¬
itor of the Enterprise appointed
himselt a committee of one to s^e
what the boys were doiug in Ma¬
con, so he went down. Upon ar¬
riving at the Brown House he
found the Covtngtomtes busily en¬
gaged eating dinner. They were
in high spirits till the editor put
in his appearance ,then they im¬
mediately excused themselves from
the editor’s presence for a few min¬
utes, held a caucus and returned
to make him sign the oath of fealty
and allegiance to the rules they
had promulgated. They bound us
to the strictest secrecy. We think
we will not be transgressing when
we give one of the requiiemcnts
made of us. It was this: “You
are to write nothing, tell nothing
when you get buck to Covington,
that you have seen or heard here
concerning us; in fact, you are to
see and hear nothing.” We took
the hint, and “saw nothing and
heard nothing” on the boys. But
to make doubly sure, they waited
on the editor on the return trip and
made him reaffirm that he » < saw
nothing and heard nothing. y f
While we will not. under any
circumstances divulge any of the
maj' r offenses committed by these
afi'abl* and generous fellows, yet
we must, in self defense, relate
some af the misdemeanors perpe¬
trated by them.
Gentle reader, did you ever try
to sleep in a room with three other
fellows who were bent on making
a merry night? The editor bason
several occasions, but he never in
his long life had such an experi¬
ence as he had in that room at the
Brown House. About 1 o’clock at
night, the chairman of the com¬
mittee on sleep, Dr. Smith, made
the apportionment. He said that
Cooley and Fowler should sleep iu
one bed and that he and Dick
would occupy the other, Now,
everybody knows that no one bed
is large enough for but’ Coo’ey
and Fowler. Bob being the senior,
the editor allowed him to choose
sides. He very promptly requested
us to take the side next to the
wall. When he crawled in we be
gan to think of all the evil we had
ever doue, and how we might make
sonic reporation for the same. It
was one time in our life that we
held to the same position without
fear of being ousted. But all of
this would have been forgiven had
it not been that brother Bob be¬
gan to “saw gourds,” and Dr.
Smith and the ever vivacious Dick
Lester had not kept up a constant
laughing and talking. They told
jokes, made fun of poor Bob and
me till about daylight. About 2
o’clock Dr. Smith arose, pressed
the button and up came the hotel
boy. When the boy asked, “Is
dere ennyt’ing yo’ gemmen will
hah,” Dr. Smith said: “Boy, we
don’t need anything; I just wanted
you (pointing to the bed where
Bub was ‘sawing gourds' and we
was panting for breath) to see the
show!”
One of the boys (we are afraid
to disclose his name) at dinner,
with a lordly air and an assumed
dignity, read the menu card:
“Waiter, bring me some of this
‘consumme soup’.” The waiter
brought the soup along with other
things and had it in a coffee cup
and saucer. The Covingtomte
proceeded to put sugar in the soup
and to stir it. He began to sip it
and then indignantly exclaimed:
“Waiter, what is the muttter with
this coffee! J »
We hud a gay time or. the return
home, Dr. Smith and the genial
i Dick entertaining. We buried the
hatchet before we reached Coving¬
ton and all landed in a good hu¬
mor, full of praises for the R. A.
and Macon.
However, next time we take ft
I trip like that oue, we think we
shall stay with Capt,. Face.
