THE COVINGTON NEWS
Memorial of Miss Verna Mae Ivy.
On the last day of February we
paid the last tribute of respect left us
to pay to the mortal remains of our
beloved friend and pupil, and every
effort of mine to expeess the esteem,
love and affection in which she was
held, fails when it is compared to
that shown by the hundred or more
weeping and sorrowing children who
followed her body to its last resting
place.
It had been my great pleasure to
know' her for some time and to have
her as a pupil. And never has it been
my lot to be associated with a more
lovable pupil. From the first day she
entered the school, her absolute obe
diance, cheerful disposition, studious
habits and loyalty to her school and
teacher w'ere noticeable. As a pupil
I never knew her to do a deed of mis¬
conduct. She always strived to excel
but never at the expense of any one.
She was loyal to her school and in
the Litarary Societies her loyalty to
her own could not be excelled. But
with all her loyalty to her own society
she was as greatly loved in the rival
society as in her own, because there
was nothing in her loyalty to her own
that could be offensive to anyone.
Now in the morning I miss her
smiling face as it met me in the
school foom and the eager enthusiasm
which she showed as she rose to re¬
cite. I fancy I can see her now as
she sat in her accustomed place or
rose to recite always with a cheerful
smile upon her face.
Among her playmates, there was
no one more dearly loved. She had
a sense of right and duty that were
far more mature than her age.
How we miss her, in the school
room! It seems now' that the morn¬
ing songs or dull without her.
I visited her in her early sickness
and how eager was she to be able to
return to school, and later when she
was in her weakened conditions, she
was 1)0 thoughtful of others.
But now she has been taken to a
A New Feature.
Mr. M. Levin, who has been in the
dry goods and gents furnishing goods
business in this city for the past six
years is adding a new Feature to his
popular store. Mrs. Harper, who is
well known to Newton county people
is adding a complete and thoroughly
up-tc-the-minute line of ladies head
wear and she has recently purchased
one of the prettiest lines ever exhibi¬
ted here. This new feature for Mr.
Levin’s store will mean a great deal to
his customers as they want to purchase
their entire outfit of clothing from
him.
Mr. Levin is one of the most popular
merchants in the city and has won
for himself an enviable reputation for
his square dealing and courteous treat¬
ment of the people of this city and
county. He came to this city six
years ago and rented the store which
he now occupies, and his entire stock
of goods at that time was bought on
space. He has stuck attentively to
his business and by his honest methods
has built up one of the best mercan¬
tile establishments in the city. He is
a good citizen, a good merchant and
a friend to all the people.
We are glad to see him adding new
features to his business and wish him
much success.

S. A. BROWN, Covington, Ga.
better home than this. Father and
mother, brothers and sisters, and
playmates let us not weep she is at
rest, she is with the angels, like whom
she appeared when with us here. She
cannot return to us, but we can so
live as that sooner or later that same
smile that used to greet us in the
mornings and at all times will greet
us with a welcome into a fairer land
than this.
