.year Emory College has ever

more, Md., will succeed Dr. B. A.

Dr. Taylor Honored.
Dr. W. M. Taylor, one of the
county s leading physicians and
who recently opened an office here
in the Star building for the prac
lice of his profession was last
week elected tn the chair of Med
ica Materia, by the Board of Trus¬
tees of the Georgia College of
Eclectic Medicine and Surgery, of
Atlanta.
This honor came without the so¬
licitation or knowledge of Dr. Tay¬
lor, and speaks in, the highest
terms of the confidence he holds
with the Board of Trustees of the
College of which he is a graduate.
The duties of this new position
will not take all of Dr. Taylor’s
time from his office here. He will
deliver four lectures each week,
being absent from his office only
two days in a week, and will de¬
vote the rest of his time to the
practice of his profession in this
city and county.
Few men in this profession are
coming to the front faster than Dr.
I Taylor. He is a young man of
splendid character and well ad¬
vanced in his profession.
Sidney Woodward Here.
Tudor the auspicies of the Cov
iugtou m. e. Church, colored, Sid
»ey Woodward, colored
tenor singer, made his second ap
pearance in this city Monday night.
S-dney Woodward is one of the
best 8 j n g er3 0 f race j^at jj as
been our opportunity to hear. His
notes are clear and expressions
perfect. In the many difficult
numbers rendered, he demonstrat
Flakes,” Sylvania nnd the
Holy City,” were excellent.
Quite a number of the white
people of our city were present and
a ii B |>eak in terms of Wood
vvar d’s voice, expressions and ren
dition.
Sidney Woodward’s appearance
here was probably one of the most
important events of the city among
the colored people.

Stock Company Being Formed
for the Manufacture of Bug¬
gies in Covington.
Since it has been made known
that the Norman Buggy Company
will move its present manufactur¬
ing quarters from this city to Grif¬
fin on or about January 1st, con¬
siderable agitation has been going
the rounds of our citizens as to
the advisabilitv of organizing a
stock company here for the manu¬
factory of buggies and wagons.
The promoters of this new enter
prise are among the leading mon¬
eyed men of Covington and New¬
ton county, and men when they
start in any venture have always
succeeded. They represent th.e
best and most influential citizenry
of our county, and no doubt, the
establishment of this manufactory
for Covington is assured.
Covington is one of the best
towns on the Georgia railroad be¬
tween Atlanta and Augusta ; one
of the best towns on this branch of
tho Central railroad, and we be
ieve a buggy and wagon factoiy
would prove a money making in¬
stitution for the stockholders.
The Enterprise commends this
new enterprise to the citizens of
50 th the city and county, and
earnestly solicits the co-operation
of them all.
Newton is o:-:e of the best coun
ties in Georgia, and the people
who live within her borders are
far ahead of the average county in
the State.
As a railroad center we believe
few towns around have any advan¬
tage, and why should we not build
buggies h re just as cheap as any¬
where in Georgia?
We want to see this new Btock
company organized so as to begin
the manufacture of buggies and
wagons on the same day that the
Norman Buggy Co. makes its de
parture for Griffin.
The promoters intend usi ng th e
building now occupied by the Nor
man Buggy Co., and will begin
work as soon as the factory is va
cated.
Norman Buggy Co. to Move tc
Griffin?
We learn that Mr. W. G. Nor
man, proprietor of the Norman
Buggy Co., of this city, is making
preparations to move his buggy
factory to Griffin about January 1.
We regret to lose Mr. Norman
and his manufactory from our city,
but wish him success inj his new
field.
A Big Pumpkin.
Mr. J. B. Bohanan, ore of the
county’s progressive farmers, one
day last week brought into the
city a pumpkin that weighed 110
pounds, and measured 0 feet and
8 inches in circumference.
This pumpkin is to be sent tc
the Fair in Atlanta, and Mr. Bo¬
hanan had it on exhibition at the
court house for several days. It
is by far the largest pumpkin that
has been raised in this county in
years. It was grown on upland
and within a short distance of Mr.
Bohanan’s home.
The pumpkin, we learn, will be
put in the Newton county display
at the coming* State Fair to be
held next month.
Card of Thanks.
We wish to thank all of our
friends and relatives for their help
and sympathy during the sickness
and death of our little Earl. May
the choicest blessings of heaven
ever rest and remain with you all
