Remember, kind friends, it was just lieeause Fields wrote for the News, and wrote nice things about Wood row.

This is a step forward for the orders, shows that they are alive and up-to-date. This card is a constant reminder that you*, order meets, needs you and you need it. In looking over this directory there are two things about these Oxford orders that is peculiar: every order in the town requires the bag of our union to be displayed during every meeting, and all have the same ]>er son as presiding officer. It is quite a compliment to Mr. Gunn to he head of all the secret orders in his town, hut he is right on the job. Oxford is a good friend for all of the orders, as it draws members from all North of Oxford extending as far as Walton county. W predict success for them all. I)AN UPSHAW WINS DEBATOR’S PLACE AT GA.

SUNDAY SCHOOL DAY WAS A BIG SUCCESS ILL THE SUNDAY SCHOOLS HAD INCREASED ATTENDANCE AND MI CH INTEREST WAS SHOWN IN SUNDAY SCHOOL WORK. Most of the Covington people en¬ tered heartily into the observance of Sunday School Day last Sunday, there must have been a representa¬ tive from almost every home attend¬ ing some one of the schools. At the Methodist Sunday School was the largest attendance ever in the history of the church. 216 answered to the roll, and yet Superintendent Gibson says that even that number does not represent near all who en¬ gaged in the Sunday School work of that church, there being upwards of 100 in the several departments, in eluding the home department, the cradle roll and the school. Likewise at the Presbyterian school there was a record breaking attendance, the number was 00, almost equal to the thusiasm marked the exercises at both schools The Baptist school too, had splen¬ did exorcises, hut the attendance was hardly normal, 74 being present. Un¬ avoidable circumstances prevented many from attending. Over at Mid¬ way in the afternoon the attendance crowded the building—they just couldn’t count them. They came in from everywhere and from (he other schools, and all were repaid for com¬ ing. When it comes to real heart b> heart religious work, don’t forget to count the Midway workers, and the vast amount of good they are do ing. Dick Lester and Charlie Powell and their hosts of helpers just make Hie whole world glad. Now what is the matter with that large number of people in Covington who never go to Sunday school, and rarely ever to church Listen, C. D. Gibson, C. C. King. J. S. Gat'd uarumdi Dick fester are the several Sunday School Superintedents, men in whom everybody has the utmost confidence -clean and pure in their private and public lives; why not give them a helping band in the splendid work they are doing; why not go out and get good from them, and Mr. Logan, Mr. Williams, Mr Gordon are the church pastors. In them Covington is particularly blessed. Everyone of them are gifted, earnest preachers. Who can say aught against them? No man can take up the church go¬ ing habit in Covington and not be glad he did so. j. I). PRICE HAS STOPPED SALE OF COLD STORAGE EGGS Atlanta.—“Cold Storage” eggs will i o longer compete in Georgia, with the fresh products of the hen’s in¬ dustry direct from the farm. Thous >nds of dozens of cold storage eggs have lately been sold in (he state as "Fresh Selected Eggs,” where the “fresh selection” was only from the cold storage plant. Commissioner of Agriculture J. IK Price has just is¬ sued a ruling under the pure food law. that hereafter all cold storage oirgs must he plainly branded “cold storage” on the package or container ii which they are offered. The con¬ sumer lias only to look at tlie* pack¬ age to see what he is getting. It is a misdemeanor, punishable by ijm* or imprisonment or both, to sell obi storage eggs without branding them as required. PLANT YOUR BARE ACRES IN PEAS, URGES WM. PRICE Atlanta.—“Put your bare acres in peas or other leguminous crops,” ur¬ ges Commissioner of Agriculture J. D. Price, to the Georgia farmer. It will heat cotton all to pieces this year, he says. The state department of agriculture is now prepared to furnish Georgia farmers with the nitrogen ,bacteria inociiljunt for le¬ guminous crops at 25 cents per acre, or actual cost, where they have here¬ tofore been paying private parties from $1.75 to $2.00 per acre. This inoculin makes these crops grow lux¬ uriantly. and the department is ready to supply Georgia farmers with all they need at cost of manufacture. NOTICE ! KM) tons standard 7 1-2 i»er cent.

It is announced that Cape will give a new suit of furniture to every Covington couple who gets married within the next six months. We are not vouching for the truth of this announcement, but we don’t hesitate to say to the love-lorn—try it and see! Tom instructs the News to say that his friends will he in just as good hands as evrr. that he appreciates their trade and if Cape don’t treat them right he’ll fiyht for them.

Baron Yun who was sentenced to six years in prison 'on a false charge of com¬ plicity in a plot to assinate the Jap¬ anese governor, and whose fate so aroused the people of the United States, has at last been liberated. This will bring joy and gladness to many hearts. The Russell agents are still circu¬ lating his literature here, though it seems he has suffered a considerable falling -iff of his following since the failure of his prophesy that bv Oc¬ tober. 1014. all the faithful adhering to his doctrines would have passed “beyond the veil”—either by death or translation. But October 1ms gone, and even tlie pastor himself still ling ors outside the veil. No wonder many [versons who thought Bussell “knew it all”, have decided the he didn’t, and are looking for a new iracle. Perhaps all that holds them is the European war. which Bussell has long declared will he the break ing up of earthly governments. If <diis should not he verified, it looks 'il e the last hook <ut the faith <>f his followers will be gone. But a man. lie fore tlie civil war. wrote a hook <*n the subject of this greot war. so this prediction is not original. His fol¬ lowers now say that Russell only said that 1914 would be the end of the gentile dispensation. Russell has had fabulous sums of money sent him by his deluded followers who thinking they were going to Heaven before the end of last year, would naturally not be anxious to keep a balance in the savings hank. Doubtless his teach¬ ings that there is no hell—that the wicked are simply to be annihilated, is causing many suicides. MRS. A. M. TRAVIS. Press Supt. REV. J. B.

All who missed attending the ex¬ ercises in honor of Arbor day and Georgia day at the school auditorium last Friday have reason to regret it. They have so many good things down there about which the public knows nothing, that a great many people fail to attend even when there is an unusual program; but last Friday the auditorium was comfortably filled with visitor’s from the families of the school children and from the Woman’s Club. The program was a delightful one, rendered by the children of the grades, and consisted of songs, plays and readings. There was not a hitch anywhere and the teachers of the pub lie schools have reason to congratul¬ ate themselves at the manner in which they acquitted themselves. was much interesting informa¬ tion in the program for all who heard it. relative to Georgia and her his¬ and achievements. To have lis¬ to it Would make even a Brit ian proud of Georgia. These occa¬ sions do much good and create a spirit of pride in Georgia and her wonderful future, that is bound to patriots of our boys and girls.
