THREE MORE DAYS OF
GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY
FOR ALL THE PEOPLE
It will he noticed from the attractive
full page ad in our paper of to-day
that the T. C. Swann Co., call the
speeial attention of the people of New¬
ton and adjoining counties to the fact
that only three more days of their
great public sale will be offered them
to reap the vast money sav ing to all
who patronize their record breaking
sale. New merchandise for all depart¬
ments has just arrived, all to go just
as advertised.
So there wil be no disappointment
to all those who have been prevented
from attending the first days of their
sale. In fact it seems that they have
saved the best for tin* last don’t miss
the sale.

NEWTON COUNTY FAIR
WAS GREAT SUCCESS
Fine Crowds, Splendid Cattle, and Good
1 ime In Spite of the
Weather.
The Newton County Fair and Boy's
Corn Show and Girls’ Canning Club
exhibit were held in Covington Friday.
The'heavy rains of several days pre¬
ceding caused it slill to lie muddy, bqt
the rain had ceased to fall, so that the
Fair day itself was a good day.
And a fair crowd came to the Fair:
An unfortunate conflict in the date
with tlie fair at Monroe caused the
crowd t») lie smaller than it otherwise
would have been, as some of Newton
county's men laid arranged to exhibit
there before the date for our fair
was set.
But it was a great day and a great
show.
»’attic and hogs were here in great
numbers. One of our best informed
citizens gave the opinion that we had
more cattle than there will he at the
state Fair at Macon.

E, F, COOPER KILLED
JIM LOWE SUNDAY
THE KILLING OCCURRED WHEN
MR. LOWE DROVE UP IN FRONT
OF MR. COOPER’S HOUSE—
JUSTIFIABLE HOMICIDE.
Sunday morning about nine o’clock
news came here that Mr. E. F. Cooper
had shot and killed Mr. Jim Lowe in
front of tlie former’s home at Pine
Grove church, eleven miles east of
Covington.
It seems that there had been had
feeling between the two for some time
on account of the fact that Mr. Lowe
had been talking about Mr. Cooper’s
wife.
Sunday morning about nine o’clock
.
Mr. Lowe drove up in frone of Mr.
Cooper's house and sent a man in to
tell him that he wished to see him.
Mr. Cooper, thinking that possibly
Lowe came for trouble, armed himself
and went out to the road where Lowe
was sitting in his buggy.
Several words passed when Lowe
reached back to draw his pistol, and
Cooper drew his first and fired three
shots, two of which took effect, one
piercing the heart.
Mr. Cooper turned and re-entered the
house and telephoned Sheriff S. M.
Hay what lie had done. Sheriff Hay
and Deputy Maddox left immediately
for the scene. Upon arriving they tel
(•phoned Mr. J. W. Wright, Coroner,
to come and hold an inquest.
The Coroner’s jury declared justi¬
fiable homicide.
