COVINGTON. GEORGIA, May 15, 1912.
COUNTY ORATOR! 3AL
A GREAT SUCCESS
PROGRAM WELL RENDERED.
HON. JOHN M. SLATON DE¬
LIVERED SPLENDID AD¬
DRESS TO PEOPLE.
As had been previously announced,
the big Newton County Oratorical wa
held in the old college chapel at Ox¬
ford last Saturday, and it was one of
the best ever held in the county. In
fact, each of the pupils who had in
preliminary try-outs won places in
the contest, did exceptionally well,
rendering their selections in a man¬
ner which brought forth hearty ap¬
plause and the praise of all who at¬
tended.
County School Superintendent J. O.
Martin, particularly, deserves credit
for the success of the occasion, for
he had labored unceasingly for sever¬
al weeks to make of it that which
would be a credit to the schools, the
pupils and the county. He is being
warmly congratulated, especially on
the good order which prevailed all
through the day.
The crowd, which was not so large
as was expected, was very apprecia¬
tive, and listened throughout the en¬
tire program with the closest atten¬
tion. Many citizens failed to be on
i hand owing to the fact that the farm¬
ers of the county were so very badly
behind with their work, and Saturday
was one of the few days of the past
two months when plows could be run.
The judges for the occasion were
Hon. Jno. M. Slaton, of Atlanta; Prof
Walker, of Monroe, and Prof. J. C.
Upshaw, of this city. Practically ev¬
eryone present agreed with them in
their decisions, and those who were
fortunate enough to win places for
the prizes were as happy bunch of
pupils as ever walked off victorious.
The winners were:
Girls.
Lila Lambert, Oxford, first; Annie
Lee, Wyatt, second; Margaret Frank¬
lin, Mansfield, third; Mary Epps, New
born, fourth; Cora Lord, Covington
district, fifth.
Boys.
Watson Kitchens, Wyatt, first;
Glenn Jones, Starrsville, second; Her¬
bert Jernigan, Covington dist., third;
James Reagan, Stansell’s, fourth;
Dewey Hicks, Downs, fifth.
These prize winners appear in the
above photograph, together with the
other prize winners in the monthly
contests held in connection with the
CLOSING EXERCISES OF
COVINGTON SCHOOL.
BRILLIANT ENTERTAINMENTS TO

ment exercises of the Covington pub¬

Whitehead; Messrs. Charlie Clark,
David Butler and Barney Boorstin.
The exercises this year will be

be largely attended.
Card From Hon. H. D. Terrell.
Mr. Editors: There is some dis¬
cussion as to letting the little folks
skate on the side-walks after the ce¬
ment hardens. Now, 1 think the
skaters will obstruct the side-walks.
I believe in letting the little people
enjoy themselves, and I think skating
is not only pleasant, but healthy for
them. I suggest that the city fathers
fix up a nice cement “speedway” in
Cumberland park, in front of Dr. N.
Z. Anderson’s residence especially
for the little folks to skate on, which
is a legal and entirely proper thing to
do. H. D TERRELL.
teachers institute.
After the program had been ren¬
dered, Representative A. H. Foster in
a few well chosen sentences intro¬
duced Hon. J. M. Slaton, who in an¬
nouncing the winners made one of
the best educational addresses ever
listened to in this county. Mr. Sla¬
ton is recognized as one of the best
orators in the state, and his address
was listened to and enjoyed by every
| one present.
MRS, SUSAN TURNER
GALLED TG BEYOND,
MOTHER OF MR. MILES G. TUR¬
NER OF THIS DEAD. HAD
BEEN ILL ONLY ABOUT
FOUR WEEKS.
Mrs. Susan M. Turner, one of this
city’s most estimable Christian ladies,
died at her home on Floyd street on
Sunday afternoon after an illness of
about four weeks, with an affection,
of the heart.
Mrs. Turner had been a resident of
Covington only about two years, but
by her gentle disposition and lovable
nature had won many friends among
our people, and every one who knew
her loved her. Mrs. Turner was the
mother of Mr. Miles Turner and Miss
Ella Turner of this city, and six step
children
>
Her remains were carried to her
old home at Fosyth for interment,
Rev. Dixon, pastor of the Methodist
church of that city preaching the
funeral. A number of citizens from
this city accompanied the family to
that city.
The sympathy of the entire com¬
munity is extended the family in
their bereavement.
ROY STEPHENSON GOES
TO THE TAMPA COAL CO.
Roy Stephenson, who has been the
book-keeper for the Times Publishing
company for the last three years, has
accepted a position as book-keeper for
the Tampa Coal company and has
started in on the duties of his new
position.
Mr. Stephenson’s services were
eminently satisfactory to The Times
and this paper wishes him well in
the position to which he has gone.
He is a first class bookkeeper, pleas¬
ant and accommodating gentleman,
and will undoubtedly “make good”
in the new position.

years ago from Atlanta, Ga., and has

glad to see him better himself.
