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. —Registered Jersey bull, Huntdale, No. 55320. Sendee $2.50. 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.
