THE GIRL
THE custom of giving an engagement ring at betrothal time comes
down to us from traditionary times, and has endured because of its
pretty and symbolic meaning, it still has a beautiful significance,
and wether you wish a diamond or ?ome less costly gem, you’ll find
our store the proper place to make your selection. This is the one
time of all that you must be sure you are getting something reliable,
and when it comes from us you can well be proud of it.

THE COVING‘I‘ON NEWS, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1911.
Rocky Plains School.
Rocky Plains school opened w’ith
a good attendance. The entire local
board with a goodly number of pa¬
trons, the County Superintendent,
accompanied by Col. Loyd, of Coving¬
ton, were present, and gave talks.
Some of our students from Coving¬
ton, Locust Grove, and Gordon Insti¬
tute, did not return, but remained
here.
Dr. J. M. Farris, a Vanderbilt man
and Miss Pearl Davis, our former
principal, are our' teachers.
A piano has been installed, and
iMJss Nina Davis, a pupil of Mrs.
Lucy Owsley’s, is in charge of the
music class.
Plans are being made to arrange an
auditorium in the building.
The pupils, teachers, and patrons
are enthusiastic over our outlook,
and support and co-operations are
not lacking here.—By Lucile Davis.
Hopewell School.
The fall session of Hopewell school
opened Monday October 30th. We
had fifteen pupils in attendance,
which rather a small number, was
encouraging in view of the fact that
the children of so many of the pa¬
trons are still busy picking cotton.
Mr. Kerr, the pastor of Hopewell,
opened the exercisse with prayer.
Mr. Stewart, one of the trustees,
then gave a short but instructive talk
to the pupils.
Our teacher, Miss Madge Cowan,
was promptly on hand and at once
proceeded with the preliminary work
of organizing classes and making ne¬
cessary regulations.
Both the teacher and pupils were
glad to have Mr. Martin, the Commis¬
sioner, and Col. Loyd, of Covington,
with them in the afternoon. Both
gentlemen gave talks and their
remarks proved helpful and interest¬
ing. • .
We are glad that the opening of
school was an auspicious one, and
feel confident of having a prosperous
session. Our teacher is alive with
energy and enthusiasm. She has the
interest of the children at heart and
we feel encouraged to make this term
more successful than any proceeding
one.—Edgar Blanton.

any way of gtting to Savannah and

S AH LIN is not only a perfect form for
slender women, but is a complete corset for
slight or medium figures, which may or may
not be somewhat deficient in bust measure.
SAHLIN requires no padding, nor interlining. SAHLIN
has no hooks, no clasps, no eyelets, no strings, no heavy steels.
Women who cannot wear the ordinary corset have found
the SAHLIN entirely satisfactory from every standpoint of shap¬
ing and comfort. There is positively no pressure on heart, lungs
or stomach. Physicians, everywhere, recommend it—dress¬
makers prefer to fit over it.
