Mr. Wells Gets a Fall.
Mr. Geo. T. Wells, proprietor of the
Wells Bottling Works, of this city,
while out delivering soda vv ater one
day last week, had the misfortune of
having his delivery wagon turn over
with him from which lie received sev¬
eral bruises about the body. Mr.
Wells had gone over the other side of
Dried Indian creek and delivered his
order for soft drinLs and was in the
act of turning his team around when
he drove a little too close to a deep
ditch on side of the road and the
wagon, horse and occupant went into
the ditch, the wagon turning over
and falling on Mr. Wells.
Services at Baptist Church Sunday Last
The Sunday morning service at the
Baptist church was marked by a spirit
of quiet devotion. God seemed very
near. There was a tinge of sadness,
too, in the atmosphere, for it was
known that the pastor would be away
the rest of the summer, and the hearts
of those who love him, felt the shad¬
ow of the days to come, so empty of
his heartening presence, and words
of daily comfort and good cheer.
We thought of the disciples in their
loneliness when they awoke one sad
day and found their beloved teacher
had gone from them. But we entered
too, into their joy as they recalled his
last words, and experienced the deep
gladness of their hearts when they
suddenly remembered the blessed
promise, “I will come again!” And
so with this thought at our hearts,
we, too, are comforted. The pastor
will come back to us the same, yet,
not the same. For having drunk at
new fountains of inspiration, clearer
visions of truth and duty will come to
him, as will renewed courage and
deepened faith.
He will come back with invigorated
powers of soul and body, brimming
over with new thoughts, beautiful and
true, that he will impart to his people

tiding them over the rough places of
life. He will come back too, with a
deeper tenderness of word and touch;
a stronger love for his people and his
work.
And so we who are left behind will
carry on our part of the work, trying
each day to put into our efforts more
love and sacrifice. Keeping in mind,
not only the return of him whom we
honor as our under shepherd, but
looking forward expectantly to the
coming of our Chief Shepherd and
King. May mich of us for faithful
service receive from Him the welcome
“Come ye blessed of my Father, in¬
herit the Kingdom prepared for you
from the foundation of the world!”
The pastor read from the 6th chap¬
ter of John, our Lord’s discourse on
the “Bread of Life.” Also a few
verses from the 10th chapter of He¬
brews, speaking from the 39th vers^
“But we are not of them that shrink
back unto perdition, but of that have
faith unto the saving of the soul.
Subject: “What is Saving Faith?”
He spoke of three elements of saving
faith: Intellectual, Emotional, Volun¬
tary, or Thought, Feeling, Action.
Saving faith is a voluntary turning to
God—turning of the will. Truthful
surrender to another. The sweet trust
of the wife who gives her life into the
keeping of her husband. Reception
of Christ as the source of life. It was
finely illustrated in the story of the
Alpine travellers, who gave them¬
selves entirely over to their guide as
they stepped into his hand outsretched
over an awful chasm that lay across
the mountain path. It was the only
way. So complete surrender to
Christ, the only faith that, saves.

Covington Mill.
Mr. Richard Niblett visited his
father at Crawford last Sunday.
Our school closed Saturday with an
entertainment given by the pupils.
The program consisted of recitations
and dialogues all of which were ex¬
cellently rendered. Miss Emma
Lewis, who has been teaching here
this term had worked hard to make
the exhibition a success and much
credit is due her for the very interest¬
ing entertainment. She has been
teaching here for some time and is
dearly loved by both parents and
children. She has accepted another
position and will in the near future
enter upon her new duties with the
best wishes of every one here.
Our church conditions are improv¬
ing rapidly and all the brethren are
working in harmony for the good of
the people at the Mill. Each of the
services are being w'ell attended and
much interested is manifested in the
church work.
Come over boys about the first of
September and we will show you that
gold watch that The News is going to
give to some one of its correspon¬
dents. Get busy and you’ll stand a
chance for it.
Quite a number of our boys went
out to Porterdale Saturday and wit¬
nessed a very interesting game of ball
between Porterdale and Monroe, in
which the score was 6 to 2 in favor of
Porterdale.
Mr. Death, the photographer, was
here one day last week making some
special views of the Mill and its sur
rouodings. Here’s hoping that the
next time “Death” visits our section
that he will come in the form of a
photographer.
After a pleasant visit to several all

THE COVINGTON NEWS
THE GHOST AT THE FEAST.
What the Ensign Saw and What Hap¬
pened After Dinner.
In “The Story of My Life," by Mr.
Augustus Hare, Is told the following
creepy story:
A regiment was passing through Der¬
byshire on Its way to fresh quarters In
the north. The colonel, ns they stayed
for the night in one of the country
towns, was Invited to dine at a coun¬
try house In the neighborhood and to
bring any one he liked with him. Con
sequently he took with him a young
ensign for whom he had a great fancy.
They arrived, and it was a large party,
but the lady of the house did not ap¬
pear till Just as they were going In to
dinner and when she appeared was so
strangely distrait and preoccupied that
she scarcely attended to anything that
was said to her.
At dinner the colonel observed that
his young companion scarcely ever
took his eyes off the lady of the house,
staring at her in a way which seemed
at once rude and unaccountable. It
made him observe the lady herself, and
he saw that she seemed scarcely to
attend to anything said by her neigh¬
bors on either side of her, but rather
seemed, In a manner quite unaccount¬
able, to be listening to some one or
something behind her.
As soon ns dinner was over the young
ensign came to the colonel and said:
“Oh, do take me away! I entreat you
to take me away from this place!”
The colonel said: “Indeed, your con¬
duct Is so very extraordinary and un¬
pleasant that I quite agree with you
that the best thing we can do Is to go
away.” And ho made the excuse of
his young friend being ill and ordered
their carriage.
When they lmd driven some distance
the colonel asked the ensign for an ex¬
planation of his conduct. He said that
he could not help it. During the whole
of dinner he had seen a terrible black,
shadowy figure standing behind the
chair of the lady of the house, and it
had seemed to whisper to her and she
to listen to it. He had scarcely told
this when a man on horseback rode
rapidly past the carriage, and t-he
colonel, of the house recognizing they one of the servants
had just left, called
out to know If anything was the mat¬
ter.
“Oh, don't stop me, sir!” he shouted.
“I am going for the doctor! My lady
has lust ent her throat!”

It5 Gasoline Engine Power
It has supplanted hand-power, wind-power, horse-power and water¬
power on all up-to-date, well managed farms.
No other kind of power is to be considered for farm use or gen¬
eral use.
It so far surpasses any other available power that it is only a ques¬
tion of time when it will be in general use.
It is less expensive, less troublesome and less dangerous than steam
power, so much so, in fact, that gasoline engines are rapidly replacing
the steam engine everywhere.
THE I. H. C. GASOLINE ENGINE is the most practical engine for
farm or general use, because it is designed by experts who know the
requirements of a power for this purpose. It has few working parts,
which insures its being easily understood.
If you are a power user and are in the market for a gasoline engine,
call and let us demonstrate to you the many advantages of owning an
I. H. C. engine.
