CITY ORDINANCE
WILL BE ENFORCED
Mayor Smith Requests The News
to Put Those Interested
on Notice.
During the month of July an ordi¬
nance was passed by the moyor and
council of this city that “on and after
October 1st no surface closets would
be allowed on the eight blocks touch¬
ing the public square or by any ho¬
tels, depots and business houses not
on the public square. ’’ The ordinance
was published in the News and caus¬
ed quite a good deal of comment at
the time.
The law goes into eifeet Friday of
this week, and Mayor Smith stated to
a News reporter this morning that it
was up to him to have it enforced and
that it made no difference who was
guilty of violation after it became ef¬
fective, he would impose a penalty.
He sayB that the law was passed and
he is going to enforce it.
Several of the business houses have
failed so far to make the necessary
arrangements and the mayor hopes
that they will do so by the time spec¬
ified by the law.
Special Sermon to Red Men.
The Order of Red Men have desig¬
nated the second Sunday (10th ) as a
time at which they will attend in a
body the Baptist church, and have
notified the pastor that they would
be present. It will be occasion of a
special sermon to the order by pastor
E. R. Pendleton and the other fra¬
ternities are to be invited to join with
them in this worship.
This is in keeping with the spirit of
the Order and will probably be the
beginning of a closer relation bet ween
the lodges of Covington and the
churches, as there should be.
It is expected that the members of
the order shall take notice and ap¬
pear in time to take on the regalia of
the body and attend worship at eleven
o'clock where seats will be reserved
for them.
— FOR RENT—One or two rooms,
furnished or unfurnished. Electric
lights, city water, bath room privi¬
leges. Convenient to meals.—Apply

Methodists Help Orphans.
The Orphans Day exercises at the
Methodist church Sunday were very
appropriate and the little fellows did
nicely. A good crowd was in attend¬
ance and the occasion was very much
enjoyed. The regular collection was
taken for the Orphans Home at Deca¬
tur and the results were very fiatter
ing.
The collection amounted to $174.61,
ranging in donations from 5 cents to
$10. This is $100 more than the col¬
lection of 1907, and fifty dollars more
than last year. The church should be
congratulated on its splendid showing
for this worthy cause.
The people of this city are natural¬
ly tender hearted and this collection
Sunday for the little fatherless and
motherless children at Decatur will
be fully appreciated by the superin¬
tendent of the home and there is no
telling just how much good it will do.
