What is the particular virtue, in
Abraham obeying God in the mat¬

Would it be a virtue or a vice in
these days, if any man should do
the same tiling as Abraham did?
Verses 20-21— Suppose the per¬
sons mentioned in these wonderful
verses, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses
and Raliab, had been lacking faith
in God, in these critical moments
of their lives, what would have been

Does faith in God always make
the present happy, and picture in
glowing colors the future?
Verses 32-40—Have men disting¬

noted for their goodness?
This is a thrilling account of the
exploits of the man of faith; give
me an account of the achievements
of men noted tor their lack of faith.

‘Matrimonial Exchange” Was Great.
The “Matrimonial Exchange” pre¬
sented at the opera house last 1 hurs
<1 ay night by the Jersey entertainers
was ono of the best home [talent pro¬
ductions that has^ ever appeared on
our stage. This was as clever little
play as some of the best operas that
come to our town and does a credit
to the Jersey amatures. It was in¬
teresting from start to finish there
being much interest shown by our
people and ntore especially when the
“Matrimonial Exchange” was organ¬
ized every old maid and bachelor who
had drudged down in the rain to take
dots, was as still as a mouse, wond< i -
ing if such could be true. W e were
glad to have this clever troupe with
us and will welcome them the. next
time they come.
THE COVINGTON NEWS
M
MILLIONS BEING
SPENT FOR WATER
One Corporation in Georgia Or¬
ganizes With Three Million
Capital for Water Power.
The Georgia and Alabama Indus¬
trial Index, published at Columbus,
Ga., says in its regular weekly issue:
“Perhaps the most prominent fea¬
ture of the industrial news for the
past week in Georgia and Alabama
was the formation of several large
companies to develop water-powers
in different sections of the two states.
At Elberton Ga., a powei company
was chartered with $3,000,000 capital
stock, and Abbeville, Ala., and
Geneva, Ala., both report new $500.
000 corporations which purpose to
develop water-power and transmit it
in the form of electricity to various
cities and towns in that section for
industrial use. Surveys have just
been made of water-powers on the
Allapaha river near Valdosta, Ga.,
and it is stated that their develop¬
ment is practically assured. The
water-power of the Towaliga river
will be still further developed for the
use of Griffin, Ga., industries, the re¬
cent filing of a $100,000 mortgage be¬
ing an incident in the process of pro¬
curing the desired capital.
“Application was filed for a Charter
for a new railroad, to be built west¬
ward from Moultrie, Ga., for a
distance of 40 miles, the $100,000 of
capital stock in the new corporation
being taken by business men of that
section of Georgia. Contract for
grading the new Rome & Northern
Railroad, chartered last week, has al¬
ready been awarded, and the Michigan
capitalists who are building the road
have concluded negotiations for the
purchase of a $150,000 furnace near
Rome, Ga.
“A dozen new corporations are re¬
ported for the week, with capital
stock of $(1,169,000. Among the new
companies is one at Eiliiay, Ga., or¬
ganized for mining and real estate
purposes, with capital stock of $2,000,

An Acceptable Present.
President G. C. Adams, of the Fifth
District Agricultural school, is feel¬
ing good over the receipt by the
school of a fine threshing machine,
the gift of Mr. Ed Adams,- of Mans¬
field, one of Newton’s most prominent
citizens.—Walton Tribune.
Fine Yield of Tomatoes.
Mr. J. F. McCord, one of the city’s
well known and hustling citizens,
came in The News office one day last
week and presented us with as fine a
can of tomatoes as we have had in
quite a while. These tomatoes were
cooked, prepared and put in cans by
Mr. McCord at his home on Washing¬
ton street.
Last year Mr. McCord raised on 144
vines about 175 cans, besides selling
something over $15.00 worth of picked
tomatoes. Mr. McCord is making
preparations this year to can a large
amount of tomatoes and has invented
a unique canner for this purpose.
These tomatoes are put up in as good
shape as any shipped to this city from
factories. They are put up in quart
and pint cans, and are ready for ta¬
ble use when opened.
Mr. McCord is demonstrating what
every gardner or man with a small
piece of land can do if he only tries.
Off of these 175 vines Mr. McCord
has made something over thirty-five
dollars.
AN INNOCENT VICTIM.
Swinburne and the Grouchy Head
Master of Eton.
Once when Algernon Charles Swin¬
burne was traveling back with his fa¬
ther from school at the end of one of
the terms they entered a carriage in
which the then head master of Eton,
who was buried in the Times, was
seated.
“Isn’t that Dr. -?” the admiral
whispered to his son. “I believe it is,”
stammered youug Swinburne reluc¬
tantly. After a rebuke at the appar¬
ently careless answer the admiral
“accosted the awful presence” with
“Dr. -, I believe, sir?” The doctor
was plainly annoyed at being disturb¬
ed by a stranger. “Well, sir,” pursued
the admiral, “my boy here has just
finished his first term at Eton, and I
should very much like to know what
account you can give of him.” As a
matter of fact, the doctor had not set
eyes on young Swinburne before. “En¬
raged. however. I suppose,” Swinburne
afterward related, “at my father’s
rather unconventional interruption,
which he had no doubt considered a
slight on his dignity, he glanced down
at me with a scarlet face and said de¬
liberately, ‘Your boy. sir—your boy is
one of the very worst in the school,’
and then intrenched himself once
more behind the Times.”
At Paddington there was a storm.
In rain young Swinburne protested
that the doctor had said what he had
out of pure vexation, but the father
declared that he would take the word
of the head master, and Swinburne
was deprived of all pleasures and
privileges for the duration of the holi

“Oh, yes. I remember when

now you can hardly get him to

H. T. NIISON,
Suspension Bridges.
There is no doubt that the first idea
of a suspension bridge was suggested
to primitive man by the interlacing of
tree branches and parasitical plants
across rivers. Probably monkeys used
them before men did. In very moun¬
tainous countries, such as Tibet and
Teru, they have apparently been used
since the dawn of history, possibly
earlier.
Who Taught Her Caution?
Isabel, aged four, was talking to an
imaginary friend over the telephone,
when her mother heard her say: “Wait
a minute, Roeksy. My brother is right
here listening to all you say, and my
mother is in the room too. Don’t tell
me about it now.”—Delineator.
