The Fall Fashions In
4 M: if. Men’s Clothing
Whatever the genius of the suit>
world has created for men’s use
this Fall and Winter, is given
fullest possible expression in c ur
•if annual display===now ready. It
•
is true that development goes
hand in hand with each new
5:v>y.;o season, but we believe that the
work of the master tailors for
this season is far beyond any¬
thing ever assayed by them. And it will prove a sur¬
prise and a delight to take half an hour from your bus=
iness appointments and simply wander through our
establishment looking at the variety of styles and forms
IU decisively NOT ABLE lay claim in the Clothes-collection advanced originality is the product and of W. S. PECK & CO., who may
to more exclusive fashioning than any other
\ /If firm in this country. They rightfully believe that dignity and refinement are invariably
closelp associated in men’s clothes and they have brought out these strong points in a man¬
ner that reflects credit on their entire organization.
’ This announcement necessarily will appeal to men of all ages,
likewise they will appeal most strongly to men who have sought
in vain for the kind of clothes they want. We cordially invite
*1 the entire public to visit us. We have something to interest them.

AN OPEN LETTER TO
THE CHICKEN-WISE
Fellow Cranks:
If you have an idea that the writer
is using this space the editors of
The News have so kindly given me
to tell you how to make roosters lay
or how to cross a bald eagle with a
barred Rock to establish a new va
* riet -y. let me at once disillusion you.
The fact is, I, like many others of
>°u who are reading this, am suf¬
fering with an acute case of chick
en 'tis, or maybe feather-fever would
I"? better, and it is my aim in ad¬
dressing you to place several facts
before ,you that you may be slightly
inoculated with the germ.
Thoroughbred chickens are practi
'alh a new venture with most of us
‘ t!l * s county, and up to within the
Past few years we were content to
raise the old “dung-hill” variety;
J' 'nrns Vf ‘ r or keeping cost of a record of the re
a; <l in keeping the flock,
many instances getting possi
> enough ego in a whole year
(> rn one hea to feed jay-bird
a two
i Jtr * meals, Put times are choug
// w r > au< farm-house * chickens, in too. the At nearly
an county you
see traces of the thoroughbred
progress In breeding which is
one of the most pleasant occupations
we have yet seen. Interest is rap¬
idly Spreading for well bred poultry
and in this city and county you can
find nearly all the popular varieties
from “Judge” Simmons’ Buff Leg¬
horns—which can, according to his
expert testimony, stand flat-footed
and jump ninety feet in the air with¬
out so much as flapping a wing—on
through the category to “Huh” Gai¬
thers’ Silver Spangled Banners, or
Hamburgs, I believe it is—and this
brings me to the principal thing. I
want to talk to you about.
A good many or our local breeders
have organized the “Newton County
Poultry Association,” and as we un¬
derstand it, it was organized to pro¬
mote interest in this profitable indus¬
try. One of the most important of
the functions it will perform is to
hold annual poultry shows in this
county, and the one to be held this
fall should bring out some of as good
chickens as anybody can breed. We
have got them, boys, and all we
need to do is to bring them out so
that people can see thym. I want
to see every “crank” in the county
have something entered in this ex¬
hibition, and it is right square up to
us to “stack” to the committee hav¬
ing the arrangements of the show in
charge and help them make the
show of 1910 one to give the profes¬
sionals something new to talk about
THE COVINGTON NEWS, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1910.
They have been hearing of Newton
county’s chickens, and I, for one,
want to “show them.” Let’s sprin¬
kle a little of that “get together”
spirit around and “whoop up” the
show good and strong. You needn’t
be ashamed of loving chickens; this
section is full of cranks, and at the
present rate of increase they will
soon be in the majority. Boost the
show and your special variety of
chickens—and by all means enter
them. < A CRANK.

neglected girl in our district, who lis
to he sent to Vashti Home.
Mrs. Dudey Williams of Covington,
read a strong paper on Home Mission
work as related to the pastor. Mrs,

of Mission work of much interest.
The Bible readings each day were
very helpful, especially the last con¬
secration service.

idea as to our good meeting. The
following resolutions were handed me
as secretary, to be published with
thanks to the kind editor for so doing

education, and for pure and uudefUed
Methodism, it was with reverent feet
that we entered these sacred portals
where the memory of such sainted
men as Bishop Hoygood, Pierce and
Key still linger, and where the influ¬
ence of Bishop Candler and Drs. Dow
man and Dickey are still a living and
breathing influence for good, uplift¬
ing, elevating. And as we consider
it a privilege and a great blessing to
be here, therefore your committee
recommends;

be extended to the Oxford Auxiliary

fully extended to us. For their cor¬

they have opened their homes and
hearts, for the use of their beautiful
new church, and for the impetus the
work has gained in the district by
the grace and love here extended.

Julius Branham for the beautiful
music which has graced our meetings
and to the ladies and young people
of the city for taking part in this

ally delightful and enjoyable was a
“Tacky Party” at which Miss Myr
tice Morgan entertained at her home
at Starrsville, on Monday evening,
September 19. Many tacky costumes
were worn, and this idea carried out
in every detail. The guests on en
tering the home, were given a cordial
welcome, then served with tea cakes,
water and tooth-picks,
The young people enjoyed many
merry games. Mr. and Mrs. C. W.
