THE PEOPLES BARGAIN GIVER
COHEN, Covington, Georgia
A Sad Death.
On Saturday night, February 27th,
the grim reaper, death, came and took
from our midst one of the brightest
and most beloved pupils, little Verna
May Ivey.
She had been confined to her room
for seven weeks when the summons
came for her to go to her heavenly
home. At times her suffering was in¬
tense, but during her long illness she
was cheerful and patient, and at the
end she was resigned. Her last words
were, “I am dying, but do not tell
mama and papa. They do not want
me to go, but-yes Lord I’ll go.”
At the time of her death she was
thirteen years and eleven days old.
She entered school here at a very ear¬
ly age and became at once the favor¬
ite of the teachers. She always made
a fine record in her studies. Had she
been able to attend school till the
time of her death she would have
been promoted to the seventh grade.
All that could be done for her re¬
lief was done but human skill could
not prevail over the ravages of her
disease and loved ones and friends
had at last to give her up to the care
of the Great Physician who cures all
sickness of both body and soul and we
have the assurance that now she is
resting free from her pain in the arms
of Him who cures all pain.
She was laid to rest in the cemetery
at Red Oak church on Sunday after¬
noon, February 28th. Possibly one of
the largest crowds that ever attended
a funeral in this community were
present. Amid a large congregation
of her friends and loved ones the fu¬
neral services were conducted by Rev.
A. C. Mixon and Rev. L. F. Herring.
A very touching scene was a body
of more than a hundred of the Mixon
pupils, her own class mates and friends
weeping as if some of their little
hearts would break, acted as an es¬
cort of the body to the grave.
XXX
Card of Thanks.
We wish to thank our neighbors and
friends who were so kind to us and
rendered their aid to us in the recent
sickness and death of our beloved lit¬
tle Verna Mae. To all we wish to ex¬
press our gratitude.
Respectfully.
W. H. Ivey and Family.
“The Funny Felloews of Few York.’
will be seen at the Opera House next
Friday night. This show cc-'es to
Covington as one of the cleanest ever
put on in this city. Do not fail to see
Within the past few days I have moved my immense stock of merchandise
to the store room formerly occupied by the Bank of Newton County, and
have everything straightened out and in first-class condition. This was
done in order to make some improvements in my old stand on the corner,
where I am making preparations for the best mercantile establishment in
the city. In moving my goods I find that I have got just stacks of first
grade goods in Mens’ Suits, Dress Goods, Hats, Shoes, Notions, and in fact
throughout the entire line. You know Cohen’s motto is to never carry
over goods for the next season, and in order to get rid of these excellent
values and keep from having to return them to the corner I am going to
Give The People the Biggest Bargains in The History of my Bargain Giving Store
* •
Not only will the prices he split in a few instances, but absolutely every¬
thing iii this store will he sold at unheard of prices. Come and look at
them. We want you to see them whether you buy or not. It is my pur¬
pose to sell them, and you know what Cohen means when he decides to
get rid of a stock of goods—You get the benefit of his close buying and
some of the cost too. These prices will prevail for a short time only and
it will be very interesting to you financially, if you will come at once and
look over these immense values.
