THE COVINGTON NEWS
WILL ENTERTAIN
AUTOMOBILE RACERS.
Citizens of North Covington Are
T reparing a Luncheon For
Automobile Party.
An invitation has been extended to
the president of the Savannah Auto¬
mobile Club by the citizens of North
Covington for the runners in the Sa¬
vannah to Atlanta contest which
passes through this city on the ninth
of next month to stop over for a few
minutes at Midway where sandwiches
and coffee will be served them.
It is planned by the citizens of
North Covifigton to provide gasoline,
water and other necessities for the
convenience of the racers.
Mr. N. S. Turner has gladly con¬
sented to the use of his warehouse by
the citizens and the supplies and re¬
freshments will be served there. Mr.
R. P. Lester, the genial manager of
the warehouse will also be on the spot
with his natural way of making them
feel at home and the occasion will
undoubtedly be a success if the invi¬
tation can be accepted.
Other preparations are under way
over in North Covington, among
which will be a large banner across
the bridge and others leading up to
the warehouse.
The people are looking forward with
pleasure to this event and the wel¬
come which will be extended to the
contestants will be one of the most
cordial of any extended them on the
entire route.
It is thought that the invitation for
the racers to make North Covington
a stopping point is a good one and
that in all probability it will be ac¬
cepted by the club.
If you want to buy the right goods
at the right prices buy from Cohen.
Cohen’s is headquarters for stylish
millinery.
Library Paid For.
The Womans Club of this city pur¬
chased from Mr. C. A. Harwell some
months ago the building formerly
owned by the Enterprise, converting
it into a library building. When the
building was purchased there was
a dollar in the treasury and the price
agreed on for the lot was $750. By
work of the members of the
every dollar of this amount has
made and the last installment of
purchase price was paid this week.
Besides the amount paid for the
this week the ladies have made a
sum besides, having raised by
j own resources something over
I huudred dollar8 ' The J ^ ^
at once to lay out the plans for
thoroughly modern and up to date
brary building on the lot, and if
past work is an index to their future,
the building they intend to erect will
he a lasting tribute to their efforts
and desires to give the people of this
city the best there is in the way of
library facilities.
Truly Covington has no need of
your Uncle Andrew Carnegie with
the hard working women of this city!

“Father." said little Rollo, “what is
the difference between farming and
agriculture?”
“Well, my son. for farming you need
a plow and a harrow and a lot of other
implements, and for agriculture all
you need is a pencil and a piece of
paper.”—Washington Star.
The Mess In the Oven.
“How came such a greasy mess in
the oven?” said a fidgety old spinster
to her maid of all work.
“Why." replied the girl, “the candles
fell Into the water, and 1 put them into
the oven to dry.”-London Tatler.

A woman went to the telephone of¬
fice with a kick. She said she tried for
half an hour to get the answer to a
telephone call and she wanted to know
the reason why.
“What is your number?” asked the
manager. ourselves,
“Oh, we have no phone
was the astonishing reply. "1 was
using my neighbor's.”—Kansas City
