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 'DEFORE a shirt can carry a CLUETT Label, it must come pretty near to being a perfect shirt.

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. XXX 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 day dinners your correspondent is again at his post of duty and trying to give the people of this place the news of the week. 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!” Evans Lunsford W j M jj ne r.

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. HENRY T. HUSON, AGENT Citation.
