“Money Hath Wings”
No truer words were ever uttered than “Money Hath
^ mgs”. I hey do not apply to the money that must be
spent for the necessities of life but rather to the money that
gets away from us in small amounts for needless expenditures
that so quickly run into dollars.
“Saving is Prudence"
Accumulating a certain amount from every dollar earned
ln a bank account is the wisdom that opens the door to op¬
portunity when she knocks, that brings the wished for home,
and provides the stay and comforts when earning days are
passed.
Our bank will welcome your account and aid you all it
Ca n, no matter how small that account is at the start or how
slow it accumulates.

New Road Nearing Completion.
The work on the new road being
| opened from the city towards Mc
Guirts’ bridge is being rapidly pushed
to completion and within the next
two weeks will be ready for travel.
This road is made on a three percent
grade, thereby avoiding a number of
long, heavy hills that the farmers who
come into the city from the eastern
part of the couny. It is a thirty foot
road and when finished will be one
of the prettiest drive-ways in the
county. Only a very small .part of
the right-of-way had ito be’ purchased,
the rest being given by land owners
who were more than willing to allow
the road to run through their proper¬
ty, as any public roa^ through a sec¬
tion will always enhance property
values near it.
COVINGTON, GEORGIA, APRIL 13, 1910.

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETS
AND MAKES NO CHANGES
IN FORMER PLANS.
The County Democratic Executive
Committee met at the court house on
Monday, pursuant to a call by the
Mr. L. W. Jarman.
The meeting was - called for the
of taking action regarding a
from the Board of Education
the office of County School Com¬
missioner be nominated in the Au¬
gust primary, instead of May, as for¬
merly planned. The reason given for
desired change was that to fill
office under the new" law a can¬
or nominee will have to stand
an examination sometime during the
month of June and that while it is
that eiliter of the gentle¬
men now in the race for the place
could stand the examination, it would
avoid possible confusion by having
the examination before the nomina¬
tion. The committee decided that this
was a good point and ruled to place
the names of candidates for this of¬
fice in the later primary. This took
twenty dollars from the fund for hold
ing the May primary and to make up
the amount the Committee raised the
fee for County Commissioners from
ten dollars for the entire list of can¬
didates to three dollars each. As
there are quite a number of candi¬
dates for this place the difference
gained will make' up the deficit.
The next thing which came up for
consideration was whether the com¬
mittee should place the recommenda¬
tion of the last grand jury to abolish
the board ‘of commissioners and the
city court on the bottom of the ticket
to be voted in May. When this was
brought up a heated discussion fol¬
lowed as to the propriety of the com¬
mittee taking his action, and after
being argued for sometime, a -motion
was made fhat it "bq tabled, which
was caVried. The point was raised
as to the legality of t£e. committee |
placing ‘it sucll questions ‘currently on reported"tliat *a picket..;
had Been
an feflort would be made to postpone*
the primary from May 4th to a later:
date hut this was not brought up, and!
sliould it have come up it is not prob-| been
bale that any change would have
made.
The committee requests us to state
that all candidates must pay their
pro rata fees not later than April 20,
as that is the last day before the
tickets are printed. The fees can be
paid either to Mr. John H. Echols or
Mr. M. G. Turner at the Bank of New
ton County.
