FOR CHURCH GOING
LOCAL CHURCHES AND OTHER
CHURCHES IN STATE ANX¬
IOUS FOR LARGE ATTEN
ANCE SUNDAY.
Many churches in Georgia, including
the First Methodist Church, Coving¬
ton, are endeavoring to make Sunday,
December 14th, a record breaking day
for attendance.
Rev. J. G. Logan, pastor of the local
Methodist church, has sent out a call
to an effort to secure ay large congre
gation Sunday. He is especially anx¬
ious that the local church not fall be¬
hind in the matter of attendance, as
other churches in the state are pull¬
ing for a record-breaker.
The following is a card from Rev.
Logan:
“Next Sunday is church attendance
day at the Methodist church.
"We had the largest congregation
last Sunday morning that has been
p’eeent for some time at 11 o’clock
hour. But we are* anxious that next
Srday shall be a record-breaker in
regular church attendance.
“We shall look for all of our mem
b rs who are not providentially kept
away.
"A cordial invitation is extended to
those who are accustomed to worship
with us, and to any others who would
like to be with us on this day.
“Fraternally yours,
“JOHN G. LOGAN.”

the News in the forefront of weekly

Arrangements have been completed

Quarintine Is
Raised
Tick eradication WORK IN
NEWTON HAS BEEN VERY
SUCCESSFUL, AND WILL
SOON BE FREE
The work of tick eradication in New
ton county has been accomplished wit
remarkable success. This is greatly
due to "he co-operation which the
citizens gave the government agents.
The tick quarantine for Newton
county was officially raised Septem¬
ber 1st, which allows the transporta¬
tion of cattle to and front the area
which is not infested.
There are only 61 herds now under
quarantine in Newton, and it i6 ex
pected that the eradication work will
be completed in the course of th©
next few months.
It is indeed remarkable that the
work in this county has been accom¬
service, but the business of the of¬
fice has outgrown the capacity of the
faithful type setter. It, like all other
good servants, must be relegated to
history to make way) for progress.
The News has endeavored to print
a creditable paper, but it has been
handicapped by the volume of work
we are turning out. The people of
Covington and Newton county have
been a great factor in the developmei
and growth of the News. We have
handled their job work and adver¬
tising in the best manner possible.
The News has net been limited in
its work to this- immediate county,
but each week this office is turning
out all classes of work for neighboring
counties and other printers of the
slate.
The office work of the News will
net be impaired during the Christmas
