THE FIRST ALMANACS.
They Attempted to Foretell Men’s Des
tiny From the Stare.
The almanac, properly so called In
Its origin, Is not merely a device for
keeping people in mind of the piog
rws of the year, it Is an attempt to
show what destiny 1ms In store for us
as Indicated by the position of the
stars In any particular year, and as.
according to astrological lore, the des
tlnies of men are ruled by the differ
eut aspects of the planets, so also the
human body Is subject to the Influence
of the constellations through which
the sun appears to pass In his Y
course. A French almanac of 1010
gives a diagram of the human body
surrounded by all the signs of the 7,0
dlac and Indicates the various organs
and members over which these signs
have power, and this for n guide pour
les snlgnees, or to show at what peri¬
od blood may be let with safety. But
the same almanac also gives directions
sensible enough for the avoidance of
the plague which would not be found
fault with by a modern fashionable
physician: body In health
Who would keep his
And resist the Infection of the P' a S ue '
Let him seek Joy and sadness ny.
Avoid places where Infections aboun
And cherish Joyous company.
A few examples exist of almanacs of
this character before the Invention of
printing, although none. It Is beheved.
earlier than the twelfth century. But
some of the earliest specimens of print¬
ing are black printed German sheet a,
manacs, which are chiefly concerned
About Wood letting.—Weat minster Ga-
THE COVINGTON NEWS

ner, of Atlanta, and Dr. and. Mrs.
J. W. Lee, of this city. The color

Miss Godfrey Entertains.
One of the most pleasant social
events during the week was the house
party given by Miss Frances Godfrey
in honor of her guests, Miss Emiliue
Cassius, of Atlanta, Miss Lois Embry,
of Buena Vista, Va.; Miss Margaret
Sparks and Miss Elizabeth Walters,
of Brunswick, and Miss Mae White,
of this city. Quite an enjoyable time
was experienced by these young peo¬
ple, and a number of entertainments
have been given in their honor during
their stay in the city.
A Complete Line.
Parkers Place next to Cook Bros.,
are busy making preparations for
placing in a full line of groceries to¬
gether with a delivery wagon for the
coming season. Heretofore they have
only handled a small line together
with an oyster house, but this season
their trade demands a larger field and
they have decided to put in the fullest
line in the city. Give them a call
when you need anything to eat. They
will treat you nice.
Will Leave for New York.
Mr. W. Cohen will leave this week
for New York and the eastern market,
where he goes to purchase his big
stock of dry goods, clothing and gen¬
eral merchandise for the fall trade.
Mr. Cohen is fast gaining a reputation
in the mercantile line in this section,
and he stated to a News man Monday
that he expected to buy the largest
and most complete assortment this
year than he has ever carried before.
He is a close buyer, and in so doing
gives his customers the benefit of his
experience by giving close prices on
everything he handles. Mr. Cohen,
says that- when he returns he has
bargains for everybody and will give
some sensational prices during the
coming season.
His Lucky Coin.
In oue of his Ilibbert lectures Max
Muller said to the students: “Many of
you, I susjioct, carry a halfpenny with
a hole lu it for luck. 1 am not asham¬
ed to own that 1 have done so myself
for many years.” The case was c-lted
by him In his lecture as an illustration
of “survivals” from primeval fett h
ism, but on his own account Max Mul¬
ler confessed that when sometimes he
had left home without this halfpenny
talisman he felt “very uncomfortable”
until his safe return.
Woman the Waitress.
“A woman,” remarked the wise
widow, “is always waiting for a hus¬
band.”
“How do you figure that out?” que¬
ried the Interested spinster.
“If she isn’t married,” answered the
w. w., “she Is waiting to get one, and
If she Is she's waiting for him to
come home.”—Chicago News.
The Audience Moved
He had been trylug to start a re¬
vival fervor, but the audience was un
respouslve. “O ye of flinty hearts,” he
cried, “will nothing move you?” “Pass
the hat, boss.” answered the gamin,
“and we move immediately.’’—Florida
Times-Untou.

Its 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.
