In case you have decided, we the undersigned of Covington, most earnestly ask and insist that you reconsider the matter. Especially in view of the fact that you require the property along the lines of said sidewalks to pay for this so-called improvement, and we also object to this, even should the city agree to pay of the expenses, for the reason we think the city’s present financial con¬ dition does not justify it, neither do we see the necessity for it. “H.

LIVINGSTON DEAD; BURIED AT BETHANY GHURCH TODAY, DEAD AFTER AN ILLNESS OF SEVERAL WEESK AT HIS APART¬ MENTS IN WASHINGTON CITY—WAS PROMINENT IN ALL WALKS OF LIFE—THE COUNTY’S MOST INFLUEN¬ TIAL CITIZENS—HONORED BY HIS PEOPLE. Ex-Congressman Leo-nidas Felix Livingston, the veteran of Georgia statesmanship, died at his apartments in Washington at midnight Saturday night, after an illness covering a period of several weeks. This in¬ telligence came as a shock to his hosts of friends throughout the south, and especially in Newton county where he was loved and honored by those who had known him all his Life. Col. Livingston had represented the Fifth congressional district in the congress for twenty years, and served in that capacity up until the present term, when his successor, Wm. S. How r ard, assumed his seat in the house. During all the tw-enty years in congress Mr. Livingston had the confidence and esteem of his colleagues and of the people he -served. During the last few- years of his service he was high in the councils of the nation, and his ad¬ vice was sought by men reprepresent in-g both parties in the house and senate. Through it all he was noted for his solid, level-headed opinions on matters of moment, and this with the strength of character and vigorous interest, made him one of the most widely known men in public life. At the close of his dar-eer in public ser¬ vice he was a member of the com¬ mittee on appropriations, and was in direct line for the chairmanship had he been returned. But aside from the public career of Mr. Livingston which was without a blemish and one of which would be an lienor to any man, he was loved by his people who knew him best. At his home ten miles west of this city Col Livingston was dear to the hearts of his people. No matter what the business at hand he always made it a point to be at the regular fourth of July celebration at Oak Hill and also at the opening of the rural school at his home community. Besides that he always had an en¬ couraging word for his people, and was ever loyal to them above every¬ thing else. Tlie lit© of Colonel Liv¬ ingston -is but another evidence that you can always trust a man who has the confidence and love of those who know him best. He was truly loved by his neighbor. Colonel Livingston and his strong intellect will be missed both in na¬ tional affairs and by the people down in Newton county who knew him best. His memory will ever linger with them as that of one of the no¬ blest of her sons, and one for whom she has nothing hut honor and es¬ teem. The following sketch of his life in congress is by Mr. E. C. Bruffey, one of his close friends: Sketch of Livingston; His Work In Congress. Colonel Leonidas Felix Livingston was born on the plantation of his father at Bethany, Newton county, near Covington, Ga., on April 3, 1832. His love for home and old ties was abundantly shown by the fact that his home, all his life, whenever offi¬ cial duties, did not call him to other parts of the country, was within sight of the spot where he was born. The educational advantages offered when Livingston was a boy were few, and it was at the common schools that he obtained his education, work¬ ing on his father’s farm when not attending school. Of a bright and retentive mind, a great reader, and full of ambition, he devoted himself to study and by the time he reached his majority he was one of the best educated and most thoroughly posted men of his section. When the War Began. When the war between the states began, Colonel Livingston was still working on his father’s place, though he had passed his majority by eight years. He enlisted in Cobb’s Legion and served through the struggle. The war over, lie returned to his home and resumed his work on his father’s farm, but a few years later bought a place from his father near the old l ome, and there he lived all his life except the days of his ab¬ sence in Washington as the represen¬ tative of his people of the fifth con¬ gressional district—covering a period of twenty years. Always well posted on current events, with an excellent knowledge of history, as well as being an inter¬ esting and entertaining speaker, Col¬ onel Livingston found himse.f in the political swirl in the eighties. His first appearance, as an office¬ holder was in 1869, when he was elected a member of the executive committee of the State Agricultural Society, The position brought the colonel before th e people of the state. Two years later—in 1871—he was elected vice president of the agri¬ cultural society and retained that po¬ sition up to 1884, when he was elect¬ ed president, remaining chief execu¬ tive of the society for years. Be¬ tween 1882 and 1888 he represented Newton coun in the house of rep¬ resentatives and the senate. In 1888 he was made president of the state alliance of Georgia, which he held for a long time. Elected to Congress. In 1890 Colonel Livingston was elected representative in congress from the fifth Georgia district, and there he remained until the fall of 1910, when he was defeated by Wil¬ liam Schley Howard. In Congress, Colonel Livingston forged rapidly to the front, and within a short time gained a national reputation. He proved a hard worker for his district, especially, but any measure calcula¬ ted to benefit his state ever secured his hearty support, as did any project that promised advancement of any section of the south.

DEAR RUBIN: Yo-ur-s received. Yes, there was a time when it was said that a strang¬ er could come to Covington and find either of the commissioners by the condition of the road leading *o their homes. But if one were to come here now and find any one of -them except Uncle. Billy Pickett he could beat) me. I don’t kqow anything about Uncle Boggus’s joy ride which he “writ” about in the News a few weeks ago, but when he said “the present Board didn’t seem to be doing anything to please anybody,” he spoke a parable. It .is rumored that Chairman Air manri will resign, and -if he does, I do not think Judge Roan could do better than to appoint Wilson Jar¬ man in his place. I read in the papers that the state college of agriculture! had offered free the services of an expert to analyze the road materials of different coun¬ ties, and tell how they should be mixed in order to build good road surfaces. But Athens hasn’t gotten anything on us. We learned long ago how to build them,—build them out of red dirt. Yes, there is such an. implement as the King Road Drag but our peo¬ ple seem never to have heard of it. No, we are not doing anything at present writing to better condition of roads. The only consoling feature of the roads is that they can’t get any worse. When one gets past traveling, we build a new one. Just now we are engaged in putting a tunnel under the Georgia railroad. Yes, I know Rockdale county gets out an annual -statement, showing each tax payer where their money goes. One of the commissioners kindly sent me one. Fact is they come down here not long since and showed us how to keep our books. We hope to get them down here again soon to show us how to make out one of them statements. Your Uncle, JOSH WISE. You Can Pay Off Your Employees much quicker and easier if you luxe an ace >uut with the Bt.ik of Covington. Instead of having all sorts of money to bother with you can draw a check for the entire sum re¬ quired and have it in bills of any de¬ nomination, most convenient for easy counting. That’s only one ot the many advantages of an account there. The Bank of Covington.

WIDE SCOPE FOR RELIGIOUS WORK. ONE OF THE MIGHIEST FORCES OF THE HOUR IS THAT CALL¬ ED THE “MEN AND RELIG¬ ION FORWARD MOVEMENT. It is different from any other great reform in seveal paticulars It it not confined to any one church or charitable institution. It embraces all the Christian churches and creeds alike. It signifies a broad altruism. Last week in Atlanta, de¬ spite inclement weather and rain a great crowd assembled at the Bap¬ tist Tabernacle, as a remarkable dem¬ onstration of the hold that this “Movement” has already obtained in our section_ iNearly every evange¬ lical minister is pledged to the sup¬ port of the movement, -regardless of denominational creed or prejudice.. The subjects of these mass meet¬ ings are Bible Study, Boy’s Work, Missions, Home and Foreign, Social Service and all forms of evangelism and applied Christianity for the world’s betterment. Dr. Aurrell, of Virginia gave an elo¬ quent appeal for the Bible Study. Among other things he said that God had given us three books: The Book of Nature, The Book of the Soul and the book of books—The Bible—to reveal His will to man. With these three books life is- so plainly reveal¬ ed that a wayfaring man need not err therein. A child can grasp its greatest truths; its mysteries are beyond human knowledge. As ra¬ tional beings we are called upon to search the scriptures, they have the words of -eternal life. The great national changes in China are bound to hasten the coming of Christianity to evrey heatr in the East. Th-eir bringing new and un¬ told responsibilities upon us as a na¬ tion and as individuals, the new President elect of China -is a Chris tain and every token is calling to the church of God to awake from -her slumbers—to arise—to go forward in¬ to fields white into- the harvest.
