During the strike on the Georgia Railroad last week the people of Thomson had a traction engine to haul their supplies from Augusta to that place. The people of that city ran entirely out of food stuffs and this big engine was hitched to h number of wagons and sent to Augusta. The distance w’as thirty-eight miles and it took the train of wagons twenty-eight hours to make the trip each w r ay. The people of Thomson are heartily in sympathy with the union firemen and the wagon train was met by a large force of strikers and cheered continually while in Augusta. The people of Thompson state that they are willing and ready’ to put up with the inconvenience indefinitely unless the railroad is willing to give the firemen what they ask. The au¬ thorities of this,plucky little city was the first to pass' an ordinance through prohib¬ iting the railroad to run trains with negro or non-union firmen. Store to be Remodeled. The store room occupied by’ Mr. M. Levin will be overhauled and remodel¬ ed throughout this summer. Mr. Le¬ vin has made several changes in his business which necessitates a modern building and it will be put in firstclass shape during the summer months. Mr. Levin has not decided as yet where he will move his stock while the work is being done but will be somewhere around the public square. In the Millinery department of his store he is offering some exceptional bargains to the ladies as that depart¬ ment will be discontinued until he gets back into his old stand. The work of remodeling will begin about the first of July. THE COVINGTON NEWS MATRIMONIAL EX¬ CHANGE COMING Will be Played at Opera House Thursday Night by a Troupe From Jersey, Ga. One of the most charming plays ev¬ er given in Monroe was that which was presented at Mobley Hall on Fri¬ day’ evening by the young people of Jersey. A crowded house greeted the players as the curtains rose at 8:30 o’clock. The play was enjoyable from beginning to end, and the plot was most interesting. The name of the play, “Matrimonial Exchange” ex¬ plains itself. An ingenious mama, poor but proud plans to marry’ one of her two beauti¬ ful daughters to a rich old widower. She insists upon the marriage, telling her daughter she must marry the old man, or go to the poor house. The girl after much tearful entreaty prom¬ ise. Her sister hears the conversation and plans to help her sister out of her trouble. One morning the scheming mama goes to her daughter’s rooms to find the birds have flown. The daughter who had promised to marry leaves her mother a note telling her she could not marry, that she simply hated her fiance and that she and her sister had decided to go away’ to earn a livelihood. After fruitless attempts to earn a living they finally open up a Matrimonial Exchange. Meanwhile the handsome young son of the rich old widower appears on the scene and falls in love with his father’s sweetheart. The “Matrimonial Exchange” caus¬ ed the marriage of the scheming mama and the old widower leaves the field clear for the young couple, who finally marry and live -happily’ ever afterward. To select the best players in the play would be impossible for all did well, and every player sustained his or her part admirably. A charming feature of the evening was the recitation of Mrs. J. L. Mc Garity. selections Beautiful musical were rendered between the acts.—'V alton News. will The “Matrimonial Exchange” ; be presented at the Covington opera house Thursday night, June 3rd. Go out to witness this performance and enjoy one of the best plays presented in this city in some time. Admission i 15c, ‘25c and 35c. QUESTIONS ON SUN¬ DAY SCHOOL LESSON Prepared by Rev. Dr. Linscott for The International Bible Study Club in this Paper. Study for Sunday, June 6th, 1909. The Power of the Tongue. Janies 3:1-12. Golden Text— Whose keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles. Prov. 21:23. This chapter continues the thought of last week’s lesson, based on the previous chapter. Verse 1—What class of persons are “masters,” most likely to want to rule, or be those engaged in good works or those who neglect them? Will one who is in rapt love with his fellows want to rule them, or will he judge them harshly? Unfaithful Christians always put up a high standard for others; what effect will that have upon the stand¬ ard with which God will measure them? (See Matt. 7:1-5.) Verse 2—How much of our trouble and how much of the trouble we make for others is caused by our tongues? If a man does not do any harm by his words, is he very apt to do any otherwise? If a man says hard and unkind things about his neighbors, and in¬ tentionally wounds the feelings of others by his words, is he necessarily a bad man? Is the control of the tongue the key to the control of the entire man? Verse 3—It takes an iron bit to control a horse, what is the “bit” ! which will effectually control the! tongue? In what respect is an ungoverned tongue like a runaway horse with a broken bit, and what are generally the results in each case? (This question must be answered in writing by mem¬ bers of the club.) Verses 4-5—It is actually so, that the tongue is to the man what the rudder is to the ship, that is, does the tongue govern the influence of the man? Is it necessary at all times watch our tongugs, compelling them to refrain from wrong words, and to use right words; just as the man at the wheel of a ship controls the rudder with vigilant watchfulness? Is the tongue capable of setting a church or a neighborhood all ablaze with scandal, just as a match may set fire to a city? Verse 6---What are some of the many “iniquities” which the tongue can cause? Can you recall and mention some of the moral poison emitted by an evil tongue? Do persons with an evil tongue always draw their inspiration from “hell?” Protect Your Home WITH A CYGLONE POLICY t Covers Homes, Schools ► l Churches and Business Houses r The Cost is Very Low. Only 25 Cents a Hundred. H. T. HIISON, Insurance Dealer. Verses 7-8-—Man can do very wonderful things, in training ani¬ mals and controlling the forces of nature, but cannot “tame” the human tongue, nor destroy its poison; to whom may we apply to have this effectually done? Verses 9-12—-If a man uses his tongue both for bad and for good, for “blessing and cursing,” does this not stamp him as a rank hypocrite? Is it possible for a person with an evil tongue, to be at the same time well pleasing to God? Lesson for Sunday, June 13th. 1909. Heroes of Faith. Heb. 11: 1-40. It pays to buy the best.
