,While the pictures, as shown
herewith, give an idea how the
original looks, it is very faint,
Ono must see the original pictures
on the wall to appreciate it
thoroughly.
It was first discovered about the
middle of last month by the
merest accident. Just how they
and when they came may
never be known, at least theownei
of the house can offer no explana
t:on.
Apparently the wall, acting as a
negative, photographed persons
who have occupied the room,
Kvery feature of the persons de
picied is true to life; in fact, so
accurate are the lines of faces and
figures that itseems a bit wierd
and uncanny. Many spectators
have been heard to say that they
felt like they were standing iu the
presence of living persons, instead
of viewing an inamnate picture on
a silent wall.
The pictures have not been
painted on the wall, as one may
be led to think. Far from it.
One look will convince the most
skeptical that the faces and
figures were not put there with
paint and brush, It would be
nearer the truth to say that the
pictures, through some caper of

the country grow.
Our schools are good but can
made better. Oxford furnishes an
opportunity to the young man who
d sires college education, and the
father who enters his ton in this
famous school, has the assurance
that his boy will have the best
moral and literary training.
W e have some of the best facto¬
ries in the country, Porterdale
and Covington Cotton Mills fur¬
nish employment to hundreds of
operatives and the management is
alive to the fact that the null owes
something to its help, and I am
informed that the employees of
these institutions are treated with
the utmost liberality. Oliver Por¬
ter and Nat Turner are known at
home and abroad as the true friend
of the workingman.
H. D. Terrell, and other capi¬
talists, ha - e just organized a ?40,
0C»0 Oil Mill that will enable our
farmers to sell their cotton
and get cotton seed meal and hulls
cheap.
Covington has three banks, all
iu good condition, and our capital
ists are looking out for other fields
■if investment, showing that they
have faith in the future of Coving¬
ton and Newton count y.
Oxford, Newborn, and Mansfield
are flourishing towns within our
borders and are contributing their
part to Newton’s prosperity.
We have some fifty-five hun¬
dred children of school age in
Newton county. These boys and
girls will soon be grown and
cording to the record in the Court
of Ordinary, we have about two
hundred marriages each year, aud
these young people who start out
in the springtime of life, must
have homes, Houses must be
built and places provided lor these
new -families. No more laud to

dare say that it won’t be ten years
before land will look cheap at
