SATISFYING THE
US. GOVERNMENT
“There is practically not a National
Bank in all the United States at the
present time whose, condition is regarded
as unsatisfactory.”
The above is an important declaration made by the
Comptroller of the Currency in recent informal address to a
group of treasury officials and bankers and should be very in¬
teresting news to depositors in every section of the United
States, since it comes from the man who knows the inside
workings of every National Bank in the United States; he is
constantly having new laws enacted to more SAFELY
GUARD THE PEOPLE’S MONEY placed in the care
of the National Banks under his control—and you can bet he
sees to it that these laws are enforced.
Avail yourself ^f the insurance offered
you for the protection of your funds and
savings by the only National Baink in
Newton county. We earnestly solicit
your account, large or small.

Visited by the Itinerant School in Modern
Methods of Farming.—Number of
Prominent Present.
Thu Itinerant Agricultural School
which was held in this city last week
under the auspices of the State Agri¬
cultural College, was a decided suc¬
cess. both in ttie good information im¬
parted and from the point of attend
ance. The school opened Thursday
morning at. 10 o'c lock with prayer by
Rev. J. H. Cooper, after which Mr
1,. W. Jarman was made chairman
and Mr. Henry Odum secretary. '
The • first feature on the program
was tlie address of welcome by Mr.
O. Q. Livingston, which was to the
point, praising the school and im¬
pressing the fact of the great need
of more learning on the farm and the
Lick of taking advantage of opportu¬
nity. After this Mr. Jarman stressed
the point as to the willingness of the
lecturers to answer all questions and
gladly give all information possible.
First lecture on the program by
Prof. W. A. Worsham, source of the
plant food, was discussed, showing
ten special plant food elements, the*
per Cent of each; also showing how
the plant life used the elements and
how neusary (o replace the elements
needed. His lecture was very im¬
pressive, he occasionally reminding
the school that t.he discussion w&h
open to till and very informal.
Next on the program was the lec¬
ture of Dr. a. G. G. Richardson on
the common ailments of cattle and
live stock. Among the interesting
topics discussed was milk fever and
hog cholera. ’V

ing practical illustrations to prove his
statements, showing the great need of
propel ly mixed fertilizers, value of
deep plowing und proper cultivation;
the great value of vegetable matter
in the soil, and the value of the barn
yard manure, cow fertilizer and gua¬
no; the need of education and work
with practical application. The great
value of cotton seed meal as com¬
pared. with cotton seed and how to
mix compost, many times showing
the value of live stock on the farm.
Live stock is one of the most impor
tant factors to bring about better con
ditions on the farm.
On the second day Prof. Hite lec¬
tured on feeding farm animals, and
again impressing the fact that they
desired to have all questions asked
and discussed. Prof. Hite plainly il¬

REV. J. N. SNOW
CLAIMED BY DEATH
Was for Years Member of the North
Georgia Conference And at One
Time Was Pastor of Church Here.
Also Edited the Enterprise.
Rev. J. N. Snow, One of the best
known citizens of the city, died at
ids residence here Sunday afternoon
after a long illness with a complica¬
tion of diseases. He had been in ill
health for sometime, and while his
death was a very sad one it was
not altogether unexpected.
Mr. Snow was for a long time a
member of the North Georgia Confer¬
ence and filled some of the most im¬
portant pulpits in the state, among
which was the Methodist church of
this city. A year or two ago, howev¬
er, his health begun to fail and lie
gave up active church work, believ¬
ing Unit, by so doing he could regain
it. While not actively engaged in
ministerial work he was known and
loved by every one for his noble char¬
acter and Christian spirit. Early last
year he came with Ids family to this
city and engaged in the newspaper
business, assuming the editorship of
The Enterprise, which he conducted
up until the first of the year when he
was compelled to take his bed and
could not attend to the duties.
He leaves a wife and one son, a
number of relatives and a host of
friends both here and elsewhere to
niourn his death. The funeral occurr¬
ed from the Methodist church Tues¬
day afternoon, the services being con¬
ducted by I)r. E. Dowinan, Dr. J.
T. Daves, Dr. Quillian, Dr. J. E. Jen¬
kins, Rev. Mr. Cooper, and Dr. Led¬
better.
Very True.
It is said that although ft duck lays
as many eggs as a hen, you rarely
ever hear her praises ami c«>mn»e ded
for her industry. The only way we
can account for it is that when a hen
lays she immediately begins to cackle
cr in other words advertise herself.
The duck simply waddles off. The lat¬
ter needs a press agent-—wo does
some of Covington’s silent, merchants.
The merchant who advertises is the
busy one all the year round.
