DEATH bi *
SHAFTING
T. Ueverett, the 16-year old sou
of Richard Leverett, of Jasper
county, met a horrible death near
Mechanicsviile last week.
The young man was at work Sat¬
urday morning around his father’s
machinery plant when he was
caught in the shafting and his left
leg torn completely from his body,
and he was otherwise mutilated.
The accident occurred about 9
o’clock in the morning, and the
young man lived until the follow¬
ing bunday night, when death
came to his relief.
Dr. 0. L. Holmes was called and
he left this city and drove to the
young man’s bedside in an flour
and a half and rendered such med¬
ical and surgical attention as pes
sibie, giving the sufferer as much
relief as he could, but beyond this
could do nothing toward eaving
his life.
I he young lad’s parents have
the sympathy of a large circle of
Diends m their bereavement.
Thanksgiving at Haystcn
The people of Haystou have in
vented a most delightful way to
celebrate Thanksgiving. These
j good people are of the golden
hearted variety, ever thinking and
planning for the pleasure and en
couragement of others; and their
recent lundly thought resulted in
an occasion of rare enjoyment to
to every one participating. An
occasion not soon to be forgotten.
That is, they gave their Thank
giving celebration the form of a
treat,” which was held^at
the schoolhouse. Enthusiastic
j teachers and pupils had furnished
i.t
its most inviting holiday 'setting air, and for! j
presented an attractive
the gem of an entertainment which !
was speedily in progress.
Every family in tbe community,
not proyidenlially hiudered, trans
ported to this centre of interest a
load of holiday good things, and
there, ou a huge table, while a
neighbor’s graphephene afforded
infinite amusement, set out such a
feast as is seldom seen. The table
was a picture to be remembered.
Interspersed with sunshiny cry
santhamums, spirals ot scarlet
berries and glossy trailers, heaps of
golden and crimson fruffs, were
all of the usual Thanksgiving
dainties, and more, more, more!
Everything that the skill and in¬
genuity of our accomplished cooks
could devise.
And such a peerless company!
So merry and so refined! Happi
i ess and gayety prevailed, but not
a hint of boisterousness appeared
in even the smallest child. i
After the delicious dinner had j
been enjoyed to the utmost, and

AN ADDRESS
TO FARMERS
OF THE COUNTY
Editor Enterprise : I hand you
herewith a copy of an address is¬
sued to the people of the Cotton
Belt, by the joint committee repre¬
senting the New Orleans Financial
and Commercial Interests and the
Farmers’ Union, at the late New
Orleans Convention.
This is only a small part of the
work done at that Coavention, at
which I had the honor to repre
sent the Newton County Farmers’
Union. This same joint commit¬
tee recommended the establish¬
ment of a great central warehouse
to be erected and operated under
public controi. This plan was en
dorsed by Governor Saunders, of
Louisiana, who promised to call a
special session of the Legislature
of that State to put it under way.
L. W. JARMAN.
Nov. 28, 1908,
To the People of the Cotton Belt:
We, the joint committee of the
National Farmers’ Union an.d of
the financial and commercial in¬
terests of New Orleans, realizing
that confidence in cotton market
conditions has been impaired and
the apprehension thereby engen¬
dered has caused more rapid mar¬
keting of cotton than ever has been
known, and believing that the
holding of cotton at the present
time will permit the healthy as
similation of temporary supera¬
bundance and restore normal con¬
ditions under which remunerative
prices may be qbtaiued, hereby
earnestly appeal to every farmer,
merchant and banker and other
holders and owners of cotton to
hold back, as far as they can, theii
present holdings and not sell un
y compelled to do so,
until the price of cotton shall have
reached a substantially increased
figure.
We especially request all mer
chants and bankers of the Cotton
Belt to extend the obligation of
the cotton grower when called
upon to do so for a reasonable pe
riod, and to do all other things in
their power to aid and encourage
such growers and holders of cotton,
believing as we do, that all the
business conditions of the world,
and especially of the cotton world,'
steadily point towards better prices
than now obtained.
We believe that such concerted
and determined action will logi¬
cally and in all probability in¬
crease the present inadequate price
paid for cotton.

TO DIVIDE
CITY INTO
SIX
An Outline of the Ward Bounds
As Proposed.
A plan has been put on foot to
divide the city of Covington into
six city wards and to elect one
councilman form each ward.
Several repsesentative gent.e
men discussed the matter Monday
afternoon and after going over the
situation thoroughly and consult¬
ing the map of the city, decided
that the following boundaries
would be good ones for the propos¬
ed wards.
First ward—Beginning at the
corner of Floyd and Pace streets,
running out Pace and along Elm
streets, to the city limits.
Second 'Yard—Along the south
side of Eloyd street at the public
square and along Church street to
Conyers street to the city limits.
Third Ward—Commencing on
Church street at public square and
along Church street to Conyers
street; along Conyers street to city
limits; and at Washington and
Monticello streets along Monticello
to city limits.
Fourth Ward—Commencing at
Washington and Monticello streets
and along both streets to city
limits.
Fifth ward—Starting at Wash¬
ington, and with it as the south
boundary, to the city limits; pub¬
lic square to Clark street along
Clark to Brown, along Brown, to
Usher, along Usher to Railroad,
along Railroad to Corley to ciiv
limits as northern boundary.
Sixth ward—Starting at public
square along Clark street to Brown,
along Brown to Usher, along Ush
„ to Railroad t a to Ci bmits
011 Corley street, then along Pace
street to Elm.
1 hose who have consideied the
matter feel that it will be a much
better plan of governing and im¬
proving tbe city than under the
present system. If the people
show their approval of the new
plan the council will probably
the plan.
