i. MEADOR IS
NEW COMMISSIONER
HAS RECEIVED HIS COMMISSION
AND BEGAN WORK WWITH
WITH THE MEETING OF
THE BOARD MONDAY.
Mr. I. YV. Meador has been ap¬
pointed by Judge L. S. Roan as the
new County Commissioner to fill the
vacancy caused by the death of Mr.
John H. Echols.
Mr. Meador is one of the best
known men in the county and will
make the county a good man on the
Loard. He is a good business man
and in every way qualified to fill the
office to the satisfaction of the peo¬
ple of Newton county.
Mr. Meador received his commis¬
sion Monday morning and entered at
cnee upon the duties of his posi¬
tion. as the Board held their regu¬
lar monthly meeting Monday.
In this appointment, Judge Roan
followed the same rule that he fol¬
lowed in the appointment of R. YV.
Campbell to fill the vacancy of E. L.
A’mand and J. H. Echols to fill the
vacancy of YV. H. Pickett. In both
these cases he appointed a man from
the same militia district that the re
iring man was elected from, saying
that he believed the people wanted a
man from these particular sections.
Tiiis seems to be. a very good way of
f-'lling these places and his selection
tins time is very satisfactory to the
people.

MEMORIES OF LIT¬
TLE SARAH FOWLER
B'AUTIFUUL TRIBUTE TO THIS
LITTLE GIRL WHO DIED A
FEW DAYS AGO, BY MRS.
J. W. LEE.
In the ettarlight, when the first
'chilling air of autumn gave a warn¬
ing of the “Melanccholy Days” to
come, angles came and carried away
the bright spirit of lovely little Sa¬
rah Fowler, to the land of the eter¬
nal summer. In the dawning of the
morning, the message wafted as on
the wings of wind, swept over Cov¬
ington. In every home, in every
neart, sadness and sorrow reigned.
The passing of Sarah Fowler takes
trom us one who was beloved by alL
Sarah the Sunbeam, with the divine
mission of a sunbeam, so bright, so
pure, so tenderly sweet, so transpa¬
rent and fla’wless of soul.
Just ten years ago she came as a
blessing to the earth; surely the an¬
gels musst have smiled at the royal
welcome given to her. Every heart
in Covington has some sweet memory
of Sarah Fowler; her teachers all re¬
member her faithfulness to duty. How
nobly, gladly, gracefully and beautiful
iy she responded to every demand
made upon her. All that she did was
well done, with an infinnit© charm of
gentleness and modesty.
In the Sabbath School, often her
young voice, sweet as the song bird
of the summer, wafted tender mes¬
sages of love and duty which will
never be forgotten. Her mission of
a sunbeam, of which she so sweetly
sang, has been faithfully and beauti¬
fully fulfilled. These memories were
dear to all who knew her and yet—
of all the beautiful pictures that
hang on memories wall, is one of an
Weal home, which seemeth the best
of all.” Of this happy home and
the angel child who crowned it with
glory, picture after picture, passes
before our mental vivion. First, the
baby days, when the little dimpled
darling smiled so lovingly on mother,
lather, and friends. Later the tiny
little girl, dainty and pure as a snow¬
flake, trippling up the street to
meet “Father,” and the tender
greeting every time was as joyous and
happy as if days and weeks had part¬
ed them and not golden hours. Again,
we see the fair face, the fairy form,
the soft curls, golden in the sun¬
light, brown in the shade, floating
around her; just a glimpse, the big
hearted father giving her a loving
kiss, then returning home hand in
hand, the beloved little brother on
one side of father and little Sarah
on the other, entering the attrictive
home. They are greeted by the lit¬
tle mother, whose face is the face of
a Madonna in the tenderness and
charm of radiant mother-love.
Oh earth has no beauty more rare
than the Christian home. Sarah's
presence in the home strengthened
a closer walk with God: While still
very young, she began to attend the
Sabbath School. She loved the
enureh, the bible lessons, the music,
the songs with an abiding love. She
loved the Lord’s prayer and delight¬
ed in giving expression to its sub¬
lime appeals. At the family alter
erected in the home, all joined In re¬
peating this perfect prayer, even
tie little brother, when too young to
comprehend the divine petition lisped
the prayer with his darling little sis¬
DR. ROBINSON EXPECTS EVERY PATRON TO PAY HIM
THIS FALL
Now that the fall of the year is
here, with cotton selling at a good
price, I expect full and early settle¬
ments from all who owe me, for
service, or medicines furnished them.
As stated many times before, the
stringent times of the past three or
f< ur years has been the cause of
n any who had formerly paid me.
failing to pay me, hence, there are
cn my books names that are good,
tut that have not paid up in four
years, others in three years, others
ir two years, and still others in one
year. These amounts were gladly
carried during hard times. But now
the times have changed, and while I
have made no complaint to date, yet,
1 feel that if those in arrears do
not pay this fall, that they can nev¬
er PAY', so I ask that you come for
v ard ai>d pay me what you are due
nie, if you desire to continue to use
me professionally.
NO INTEREST CARHGED ON
fast due accounts.
DR. LUKE ROBINSON.
ter—for that was her request.
Little Sarah had a generous, unsel¬
fish spiriit. To children who were
less fortunate than others; children
vhom she thought would be neglect¬
ed, or for gotten, to them she was
kindest. To them she would send
tokens of rememberance.
In her last illness she was patient
and brave; grateful for all that was
clone for her; about her shone the
beautiful “Light of God.” “The Light
which neer was seen on land or
sea." The light in which she had
walked those ten brief, bright, happy
years. In a few simple words to her
mother, she revealed the vision given
to her of the beeautiful home above,
of the pearly gates unlocked only by
the key in the hands of the Ajigel of
Death. She gave a message to
“Father” and to the sorrowing loved
ones. She died in her pure simple
faith, “it is allright.” She, in the
presence of the great Conqueror, was
tfce little comforter. Solving the
great problem of all the Sages and
the Ages. Back from her flight to
the Summer Land, the message was
wafted by the little child. All is
well “and a little child shall lead
them," all home. Thus passed the
beloved angel of the household into
the pearly gates of the Heavenly
Home. Sarah, whose life was as
sweet as the flowers, and as pure as
prayer.
Another picture; the last sad scene,
in the home a vast throng of loving,
weeping friends, ever coming and go¬
ing, the angel child surrounded with
all that love and beauty could lavish
upon her—lieth in peace—asleep. She
was carried to the church, the place
of all others that she loved best.
The spacious building was filled to its
utmost capacity. All were there to
pay the last sad tribute to one who
had been loaned to us for a little
while, to give to us a glimpse of
Heaven. Loves last, best gift, flow¬
ers fair, flowers pale, were brought
until there was room for no more.
Beautiful eloquent and true were the
tender tributes paid to the beloved
child by Rev. Logan, Rev. Gordon and
Rev. William*.
The pupils of the school were there
with their teachers. YVho can esti¬
mate the influence for good; the
deep impression upon, those young
hearts? A vision of angels cam© to
us from the life of that little one who
so early accepted in child like faith,
the simple, wonderful plan of salvation
and tried to walk in the foot-steps of
the Savior. May the foot steps ever
linger with us and may the Light
from the Throne lead us all home.
Let us remember, “Lenthened.
days is not the greater gift God gives
to man. God’s plans, like lillies pure,
their leaves unfold; time will reveal
tue Calyxes of God. No flower can
fall too soon If ripe for glory; early
plucked is early bliss. If the great
clock of time has in life’s dawn of
morning, tolled its knell, and num¬
bered earthly hours, It hastens Heav¬
en ”
Heaven seems nearer now to us,
since little Sarah is there. “No
night of death is there, no severed
ties, no sad fare-wells.” “Eye hath
not seen; ear hath heard its deep
sounds of Joy.”
Dreams cannot picture a world so
fair.
Sorrow and death cannot enter
there.
Time does not breathe on its fade¬
less bloom,
Beyond the clouds and beyond the
tomb—She la there.
A loving tribute from Mrs. J. YV.
Lee.

TIME NEARING FOR
THE CITY ELECTION
REGISTRATION BOOKS ARE NOW
OPEN FOR ELECTION OF MAYOR
AND THREE COUNCILMEN
IN DECEMBER.
The cjty registration books are
now open for registration for the elec¬
tion to be held on the 3rd Monday in
December.
There will b© three members of
the council to elect and the Mayor.
Three members of the council have
served their two years. They are
Dr. Luke Robinson, Dr. A. S. Hopkins
and Mr. R. E. Stephenson. The
Mayor, Mr. Geo. T. Smith will retire
from office and will not offer for re
election again. He has served two
jeans and says that he thinks that
it is anoher’s time now.
There has been two mentioned for
the Mayor’s place, Col. C. C. King and
Mr. R. E. Everitt. Either of these
two men would make the city an ex¬
cellent official, though neither of
them has decided positively to make
the race.
This is time when the city of Cov¬
ington needs good men at the head
her affaiirs. On the first day of
January, when the mayor and part of
the council retire, they do so leav¬
ing the city a clean slate financially.
At that time there will be no float¬
ing indebtedness to be paid. Ar
raxigements being made to take care
of everything that comes up between
now and the first of January. There
are two school bonds of $500.00 eacn
that fall due on the first of January
and they will be paid also the $1,000
00 for the sinking fund for water and
sewerage will be paid. The new may
o * and council will find the city’s af¬
fairs in the best shape of any incom¬
ing officials in many years and it is
to be hoped that the city will be
taken as good care of in the next
four yea's as it has in the past four.
The* registration books are open
and every qualified c'tizen of the
city should register now.

phans’ Day. Every one who expects

the cause by either bringing or send¬
ing their offerings on Sunday, Oc¬
tober 19. The established custom is
that each one is expected to give
what is considered the day’s earnings
for Saturday, the day before the Sun¬
day on which you make your contri¬
butions. YVe are not so much inter¬
ested in the time or manner in which
you make your money for these needy
children, but we do want your gifts
to be as large as possible from each
one and that they be brought to us
on the third Sunday of this month.
Your humble servant,
COUNT D. GIBSON.
Letter From Mr. Hawkins.
A layman of our city conceived the
idea of every well-Wwisher of the
work of saving the orphaned children
of our state and Southland, contribut¬
ing the value of one day’s work an¬
nually to this cause. This has been
several years ago. The first contri¬
bution was secured for the Decatur
Orphans’ Home, amounting to $800.00,
and has grown steadily from year to
year until it reached one year the
sum of $16,500 for this one institution
Many other Orphanages took up the
movement and it has spread until
scores of Homes have been greatly
benfited by it.
October the 11th is the day set
apart this year and we are in hopes
that every friend of the orphans' will
com© to their rescue with as large a
contribution as they feel able to
give.
This year has been a very pros¬
perous one all over the state and
the price of cotton is better than for
many years. I am making this state¬
ment just prior to YVork Day to re¬
mind the friends of the orphanage
work not to forget the children on
Cct. 12th. They can send their gift
to the Home of their choice.
