W 7 hat are wo going to do about
it? Just as we have been doing?
For the sake of the boys and
girls that are growing up on the
farm let’s change things some¬
what . J
Make your school the best in
country. Do it bv putting your
time and your money into it. Send
your children to a good school
seven months in the year, if vou
have to work eighteen hours a day
to do so, for I tell you they are
going to need it, and that pretty
soon too.
If you Haven’t got a nice church
help to build one, educate and
christianize your children, and
when you do it, you do your duty
toward them, but unless you do,
you prove yourself to be a_ sorry
pieco of humanity.
If you’re a farmer, join th* «
Farmers Union and thus assist
your friends and neighbors and
leave your children something to
build on.
REV. PENDLETON
HAS RESIGNED.
Popular Covington Minister Had
Declined Two Calls to Other
Churches the Past Year.
Rev. Eugene R. Pendleton, pas¬
tor of the Baptist church here, ten¬
dered his resignation last Sunday,
to take effect on the 31st day of
December, this year, in order .to
allow him to consider other propo¬
sitions.
Mr. Pendleton rs probably one of
the most forceful preachers that
has occupied the Baptist church
here. He has declined cails from
two other states during the past
year, and recently turned down a
proposition trem a Northern uni¬
versity with a post-graduate priv¬
ilege and pastoral work.
He has been pastor, here four
years, during which time the
shurch has nearly doubled its
membership, and bought and paid
tor a handsome pastoriuni and
building site for a new house ot
worship, which is now planned and
aesured for a future date.
Below is a copy of the paper read
before the Covington Baptist congre
gation last Sunday by the pastor:
Covington Baptist Church, City.
Dearly beloved: On July the 19th I
had the pleasure to make a written
statement that I to you mentioning the fact
had before me a proposition
which if accepted would take me away
at an early date. I then made you in
good faith and with the sincerest pur
pose an offer of personal and monied
aid if you could get ready to finish our
new church at once. I had no inten¬
tion of forcing its growth but of ac¬
quainting you with my own plans.
The proposition referred to was from
Rochester, N. Y-, and was one I would
have accepted if I had been free, but
IKKS5«Th
session on Sept. 10.
In considering my duty I felt obli
gated first to Covington and Newton
County Baptists, and as such a hasty
move would have had all the appear
ances cf inconsiderateness, I have al
lowed the offer to go by in order to let
me finish my year’s work, discharge all
my contracts, and give us time to look
around and find a suitable pastor to
carry on this work
While I regret that it does not seem
that you are in position to accept my
proposition to build this year, still I
feel the new church is assured, and my
own interest in it is abiding, and the
unpaid part of my original subscription
cf $100.00 will be forthcoming when¬
ever the building is begun.
So with regret and pain at the pros¬
pect cf separation, but after much
liberation, I hereby tender you my
resignation to take effect December
j.', 08 * A...
Witn assurances of abiding , love, I T am
Your fond pastor,
EUGENE R. PENDLETON.

“BUD” ROBINSON
BURIED HERE.
Former Covington Man Dies in
Chattanooga. Buried Here
Thursday.
The remains of William E.
Robinson, son of our popular
fellow townsman, Capt. J. E.
Robinson, whose death was re¬
ported from Chattanooga Tuesday
arrived in Covington Wednesday
morning.
t 1 Bud” Robinson was born and
reared in Covington and for a
number of years held an important
position with the Ga. R. R. here.
After leaving Covington he went
to Atlanta where he lived for
several years and was connected
with offices of the Ga. Railroad
and A. C. L. He was in the
cashiers office of the first named
road four years, and was after
wards appointed soliciting agent
for the Coast Line, leaving Atlanta
a short while ago to accept a
position as commercial agt. of the
A. C. L. with headquarters in
Chattanooga. He was well known
and highly respected throughout
the state among the railroad men.
At the time of his death Mr.
Robinson was alone at his home,
his wife and children having gone
so L lorida on a visit to her parents.
He had not been seen by *any of
acquaintances since last Friday
and it was between this time and
Tuesday morning that his death
occured.
1 he funeral services were con¬
ducted from the Methodist church
on . Thursday morning by Dr.
Jas E. Dickey President of Emory
College, and the remains interred
j n West View Cemetery

ln C1 ^ y
It has been the writers good
fortune to have known him long
well, and we only knew him to
esteem more highly as the years
past by. Today we miss his
kindly smile, and friendly' greet¬
ing; we long in vain to hear the
ting of his jovial laughter, and to
feel again his genial presence.
As we stood beside his grave
yesterday, in fancy we could s c e
him— not i.i death’s col 1 shroud
sorrow and despair, but srnil.ng
upon us, his usual cheerful way—
smiling with all the grace of his
boyhood ’ days. ’
He W!X9 a devoted husband and a
kind and indulgent father ; to his
sisters a tender brother; to his
friends the soul of fellowship.
He believed that the man who
scatters flowers in the pathway of
j his fellowmeu, who lets into the
dark places of hfe the sunshine ol
j iuma;i sympathy, and human
happiness, is following the foot
g jeps of his Master,
