The LI poultry shew under the
auspice* of Newu.n 'V’nty Poultry
Association in tins c ; ty will he the
largest showing to thoroughibre 1
chickens ever se^i in » small town
in Georgia before. In fact the quali¬
ty and number of birds entered will
compare very favorably with tire ex¬
hibitions held each .season in Atlanta
and Augusta.
The f act that there were offered
by the association and individuals
twenty-one silver loving cups drew
a large entry from out of town peo¬
ple and the birds which will win
these cups will bt the best in the
south, as they will have to compete
with the big breeders for them.
The entries closed Saturday night
l|> 0 r the show ami the secretary, Mr.
Ernest L Peek, reported nearly sev¬
en hundred birds entered. On his
list will be found entries from such
breeders as the Wonderland Poultry
Farm, H. V. Clifton and many other
well known breeders of the south,
who are anxious to carry bark with
them one or more of the handsome
cups of the association. But their
birds will nor he alone when it conies
to class by any means. Right here
in Newton county can be found the
very best quality in many of the
standard breeds, and when put in
comparison with those of the big
breeders they will very probably cap¬
ture the .argtst number of prizes.
In the secretary’s report white
Leghorns will lead the class in num¬
bers. His record show's that 137 birds
of this variety have been entered,
and as a consequence the competi¬
tion will be very lively. Next to
white Leghorns comes the Rhode Is¬
land Reds with a strong class and
many first class birds, among them
being winners in the recent Atlanta
show. The Orpington and Rocks al¬
so have strong enough entries to
make the competition keen.. The
other leading varieties also have good
strings of entries.
Mr. D. M Owen, of Tennessee,

COVINGTON, GEORGIA, Nov. 27, 1912.
TEACHERS’ MEETING
HELD AT MANSFIELD.
PEOPLE OF THAT COMMUNITY DO
THEMSELVES CREDIT IN THE
ENTERTAINING OF THAT
BODY SATURDAY.
The Newton county teachers’ Insti¬
tute was held in the school audito¬
rium at Mansfield last Saturday. It
was probably the greatest ;teachers’
meeting ever held in the county.
The meeting was presided over by
our efficient county school superin¬
tendent, I’rof J. O. Martini, who call¬
ed it to order at 10 a. m.
Prof. J. P. Stokes, principal of tbe
Mansfield school, made a most fitting
welcome address in which he assured
the teachers that everybody in Mans¬
field was rejoiced to have them in
their town.
Prof. P. C. Garris, president of
the teachers’ association, captured
the crowd by his short, pithy, witty
and appropriate response.
Miss Ru Cowan, secretary of the
association, read the minutes of the
last meeting and called the roll,
which showed only seven teachers
absent. i
Prof. Martin then introduced Miss
Celeste Parish, one of the state su¬
pervisors of education, to the au¬
dience, who ■went right into the sub¬
ject of “What Should We Expect of
Our Boys and Girls Who Finish the
Schools of Newton County?” She
said they should be able to make a
living first of all. Second, to build
a home. Third, to be a good neigh¬
bor. Fourth, to know how to read
understandingly and love it, etc. She
also made a strong plea for practical
training in ou- schools. She particu¬
larly stressed the importance of
teaching agriculture and domestic
science. She said a revolution wan
rapidly coming in our system of ed¬
ucation. She urged upon the women
of the county to lend a helping hand
to Mis® Clyde Willis, the domestic
science teacher of the county to the
work she doe® to ake home-keeping
delightful and joyous. Mis® Parish
showed in her every utterance a
vast fund of knowledge.
Mis® Lula Bragg, .of the Newborn
school, gave a demonstration of her
primary work with a bright class
of little folks in numbers. It did
her great credit as a primary teacher'.
Mis® Annie Bragg, of the Mansfield
school,- also gave a demonstration
with her pupils in the sounds of let¬
ters and word building. The Misses
Bragg’s part on the program was ac¬
corded great praise, and certainly
there are no better primary touchers
in the county.
Former county school supreinten
dent, G. C. Adams, made a strong
plea for agricultural teaching in tire
schools. He said that not only was
agriculture s practical subject, but
it also had as much aesthetic and
mental discipline value as the study
of Greek, Latin, or French. He pro¬
posed to give the teachers at yieir
monthly meetings an. agricultural out¬
line for the following month’s teach¬
ing which would be both interesting
aind profitable. He is eminently qual¬
ified to to this having taught this
subject for four years while president
of the Fifth District A. and M.
School at Monroe.
Miss Clyde Willis greatly pleased
the audi 'ice with a happy talk and
poem.
Prof. H. H. Stone, president of
the couuty board of education, made
a happy and strong talk on the val¬
ue of moral training in our schools.
He urged the teachers to look more
to the spiritual uplift of our precious
boys and girls, and gave a beautiful
illustration of the influence of kind
friends in hi3 own life.
Dr. Smith, president of the Mans¬
field board of education, paid a beau¬
tiful and touching tribute to the
lovable, loyal and self-sacrificing
teachers of Newton county.
Let it not be forgot that the good
people of the thriving little city of
Mansfield gave the teachers a most
royal time. Every comfort was
looked alter with zeal and hearty
good cheer. A big long table groan¬
ed under a laod of the choicest del¬
icacies to please the paJafte of the
most fastidious. It contained enough,
more than enough, more than all
could eat. Credit for this sumptu¬
ous repast is due to Mrs. A. B. Bar¬

BED CROSS SEALS
TO BE SOLD HERE
COMMITTEE HAS BEEN FORMED
AND ACTIVE WORK TO SELL
STAMPS TO BE BEGUN
AT EARLY DATE.
The Red Cross Christmas Seal
Committee of Covington has just been
formed and will shortly begin active
work.
The members of 'the committee are
Mrs. H. B. Ainderson, Mrs. R. C.
Guinn, Mrs. E. O. Lee, Mrs. C. A.
Sockweil, Mrs. J. A. Wright, Mrs. C.
H. White, Mrs. L. A. Dillard and Mrs.
H. H. Stone.
The seals will toe placed on sale
at a number of places so that all may
have opportunity to buy them amd
thus help in the fight against the
“Great White Plague.”
Tuberculosis carried off over 4000
human beings in Georgia last year,
and yet it is a preventable and cura¬
ble disease. To decrease this awful
less of life and the great economic
loss incident thereto it is proposed to
establish a State Anti-Tuberculosis
agency in Georgia, and a local agen¬
cy in. every town and city in the
state.
These agercies disseminate infor¬
mation about tuberculosis, will main¬
tain free dispensaries for treatment
of sufferers, will send trained nurses
to visit rhe sick and will help to
establish open air schools for child¬
ren with tubercular tendencies.
The money to carry on this work
is raised through the sale of the
Red Cross Christmas Seals—The lit¬
tle stickers used on Christmas letters
and packages as expressions of de¬
sire to hr lp in. the fight against
the “Great White Plague.”
The Christmas Seals are sold in
every town and city in the United
States. Vo meet the demand this
year over 75 million have been print¬
ed. In Georgia it is hoped that ajt
least two million can be sold, thus
putting the state on a footing with
other states in the great work for
humanity.
Every man, woman and child in
Georgia can and should help in this
good work, either by acting as ag¬
ent for the sale of the seals or by
buying as many as can be afforded.
the people generally. Candy will also
be served.
