of the highways by the services of

at Thomson for Washington. Should
the route come up the Georgia rail
road it will pass through the towns
along the route of the railroad.
Opportunity for Newton,
Several of the counties along the
Georgia railroad are now taking steps
to bring the highway their way. New
ton county and Covington should join
j in the work. The county authorities
; and the city officials should take im

j This section should awaken to the
advantages of the highway,
i One of the main points urged in fa
vor of the route along the Georgia
railroad is that the present roads do
1 not leave the railroad more than four
miles which would be a great advan
tage for tourists in case of trouble,
Many other points can be urged in fa
: vor of a route through Covington,
But in the meantime it will take
