An Unusual Offering In High Grade
I have six more of those high grade, exquisite toned and handsome Stodart and Jacob Doll and Sons Pianos that I want to
place in the homes of the people within the next few days. They are all handsome instruments, and I expect to place them at the
most attractive prices and terms ever given before. It makes no difference as to your financial standing, if you want a Piano, I will
sell it to you at the closest kind of profit. ' ' •
Mr. P. B. Hughes, representing the factory is with me for a few days and while he is here we are going to place these instru¬
ments. Come to see me and let him show you the Piano—that it is a good one and worth more than the price we ask.
Remember the prices and terms I am offering now will only last for a short while.

THIRTY NEW CORPO¬
RATIONS REPORTED*
The Georgia and Alabama Indus¬
trial Index, published at Columbus
Ga., says in its regular weekly issue:
in the new corporations for the
week in Georgia and Alabama, 3d in
number with capital stock of $3,372,
990 those that are chartered to deal
in real estate stand prominent. In
the number are several compa¬
nies formed to handle city and subur¬
ban real estate, and others, with
substantial capital stock, plan to
deal in farm lands snd colonization
tracts in south Georgia. As illustra¬
ting the manner in which farming
capital in other states is being at¬
tracted by the generous returns
>ielded by Georgia-Alabama farm
lands, the sum of $70,000 has been in¬
vested during the past week in Sum¬
ter county, Georgia, plantations by
hiiuth Carolina investors alone.
That section of Georgia seems to be
a favorite field for South Carolina in¬
vestment, judging by the fact that
People from that state have spent
hundreds of thousands of dollars for
arm lands in the vicinity of Amer¬

Road improvement continues a

tract for work of that character.

Romance of The Bible.
None of the strange or romantic
stories between Genesis and Revela¬
tions is to be compared to the story
of the Bible itself, of its translation
and circulation, and its dynamic force
in the world of literature. It came
down through a labysinth of lan¬
guages—Hebrew, Arabic, Greek,
Latin and Anglo-Saxon— and en¬
countered foes to its existence at
every turn of history. Tyndall, the
father of the open Bible, was burned
at the stake and his hooks destroyed,
but the attempt to stamp out the
Holy Scripture hut served to stimu
ulate its spread, until today it is lit¬
erally true the Bible is read from
Greenlauds icy mountains to India’s
coral strand, and holds the world
under a more powerful spell than any
other piece of literature.
With all the societies for the distri¬
bution of the Bible, Mrs. Russell
Sage has just given the American
Bible Society a half million dollars
for the publication, contingent upon
its raising a similar sum for dissemi¬
nation. This amount is said to be
needed to meet the demand for cop¬
ies of the Bible in foreign lands,
where it is read and preached in a
countless number of tongues. Waht
ever may he thought as to the divine
inspiration of the Bible, it is the
Books of Books—the old that is ever
new.—Omaha Bee.

THE COVINGTON NEWS
Too Easy to Forget.
Had you, dear reader, ever stopped
for a moment to coins id er how easy it
is to forget one who departs this life
for the eternities beyond?
Only the other day, we sat down
for a few moments and our mind be¬
gan to wander a littel and, in the
time of it, we counted quite a num¬
ber of the heist known and most
popular citizens that ever lived here
oi anywhere else, and whom we
thought we could not afford to lose
from our number and who, when
carried to the charnel house were
followed by the multitudes of mourn¬
ing friends and loved ones and whose
caskets were weighted down with
choicest roses, lillies, daises and hun¬
dreds of other rare flowers fashioned
into wreaths, garlands and crosses,
and everywhere while the demise was
fresh, expressions of sore regret were
made and many said we’ll certainly
miss him or her. Leaving the flow¬
er-covered mound in the grass-cover¬
ed cemetery they went again to their
different vocations, meeting with the
hurrying, pressing throng in the
walks of life and after awhile the la¬
mentations are lost, in utter forgetful¬
ness. Is it right to forget so quick?
Does it impress you as being genuine
love that bound you to them? If so
then let’s keep their memory more
sacred and more constant in our heart
which cherished them when they
walked among usi Do you mean to
say we must keep the dead and the
grave in mind always? No, a thous¬
and times no! But see to it that the
busy world does not cheat you out
of the thoughts of them as they were
when they walked and talked with
you by the way.
Moral: There are among us men
and women who need to know that
life is real—that life is worthwhile
and how easily you may, in their mo¬
ments of moral, social and spiritual
decay and death, lend them a res¬
urrecting hand and after awhile find
polished diamonds from the rough of
the world.—Walton News,

Twenty Cent Cotton.
“According to present indications I
believe that the price of cotton will
go to 20 cents this fall,” said Com¬
missioners of Agriculture Thomas G.
Hudson Tuesday at Union City, Ga.,
while discussing conditions. “The
present conditions and the general
situation all point to a higher price
this year. The crop at best, so I
believe, will be only half a crop, and
this, with business conditions, will
make the price of cotton higher. The
majority of farmers over the state
and throughout the south are holding
their cotton and this will also help to
make the prices higher.”
Bishop Candler at Social Circle.
We are requseted to announce that
Bishop Warren A. Candler will
preach at Social Circle next Sunday,
July 31st. A series of meetings, arc
now in progress at the church in
that city and Bishop Candler has ac¬
cepted an invitation to be with the
congregation on this date. Bishop
Candler is well known to our peo¬
ple, having held the prseidency of
Emory College for a number of years,
during which time he endeared him¬
self to all, and no doubt he will be
heard by a large dleegation from
this county on this occasion. The
public is cordially invited to be at
I he service.
