THE WORLD’S GREATEST TEMPERANCE SONG
Lyric by Les Wallace and Josiah Maloney. Music by R. D. Shapt.
Note—This song was most beautifully and effectively sung
at the recent State W. C. T. U. Convention by Mrs. A. R. Cunyus,
with Mrs. Annie Jones l’yron as the gifted accompanist, and the
audience joined n singing the chorus.
The flames of righteous wrath have blazed
Their omen to the sky;
We sweep the liquor sodden earth—
The world is going dry;
On every hand, in every land,
There rings a mighty shout,
John Barleycorn, we’re going to wipe you out.
\
CHORUS:
John Barleycorn,
You have been the curse of man;
You stole his very soul, you fiend;
Deny it if you can.
Now every nation on the globe
Has raised the battle cry;
John Barleycorn—GOOD bye.
The hopes, the homes, the hearts you wrecked,
Shall not cry out in vain,
For just revenge upon the fiend
That brought them grief and pain;
With all those years of bitter tears
We’re done without a doubt.
John Barleycorn, we’re going to wipe you out.
The tribute you extorted (from
Your slaves shall go instead
To soothe their loved ones’ aching hearts
And buy the kiddies bread;
For that which thrives on broken lives.
Please God, we’ll put to rout.
John Barleycorn, we’re going to wipe you out.

COVINGTON'S PRAISES
SUNG IN ALBANY
Mrs. ]•:. J. McDaniel, President of
tlie Albany, W. 0. T. U., makes her
eport to her local union in The Al¬
bany Herald and pays flu* following
high compliment to Covington:
“The biggest and best convention tlie
Georgia W. C. T. F. has ever had was
held in Covington, October 26-29.
"Covington is in Newton county and
joins Oxford so closely they are called
the sister cities, and both work to¬
gether for whatever will advance the
interest of the other.
“Oxford assisted Covington in en
rertnining tlie convention, and togeth¬
er they cared for about 500 guests,
and did it well.
AVe who live down in the Southern
part of God’s country are a little like
the blind frog. We feel this a great
big world we ..re In and we have the
finest spot in ‘he world for our rest¬
ing place. We must concede that Al¬
bany is tlie greatest place in this big
world, but she has not a monoply on
Imo. folks, fine climate, beautiful scen¬
ery. and hog. liominy, and hay.
“Covington has them all. too, and
the good old time southern hospitality
thrown in. Nearly everybody lives in
big colonial house up there, and
a
witli very few exceptions the house
-.its in the center of 2 acres of lawn,
fruit and flowers, and everybody looks
prosperous and happy. Naturally,
such setting for a convention would
a and
inspire tlie personnel of that body
level best "
make everyone do tlieir

“Waynesboro will have the ,uext
convention—1916. and about
“Now we might go on on
Covington but space forbids.”

All the couple will have to do is to
notify the minister to meet them at
the library, and everything will be in
readiness when they arrive.
This is not meant to drive anyone to
marry, but the club only wishes to
help them do it in first-class shape.

LATE NEWS FROM
THE GATE CITY
THINGS HEARD AND SEEN IN
ATLANTA BY THE NEWS’
REGULAR CORRES¬
PONDENT.
Atlanta, Nov. 8.—According to health
officials, the wash-rag, familiar in
even home, has been condemned and
is doomed to disappear along with
the roller towel and other unsanitary
relics of the past.
'i’he scientists have discovered that
a wash cloth, particularly when not
completely dried out net ween times of
use, is a fertile carrier for disease
germs of many kinds.
The damp, sour smelling wash rag,
which exists in most bath rooms,
should be done away with entirely,
say the wise ones.
If you are going to use a wash rag
at all, they say, keep one just as indi.
idually as you keep your tooth bru~h
and aslo see that it is completely dried
between times of use.
Atlanta. Nov. 8.- Prospects seem bet¬
ter for an earlier adjournment of the
legislature than was originally expect¬
ed when they convened. The assembly
was criticized for wasting a lot of
tilin' during the regular session, and
the disposition of everybody seems to
be in the special session to hew to the
line and get as much done as possible.
Once prohibition is settled and out
of the way, a couple of weeks hard
work should dispose of the other im¬
portant matters before the deliberative
body, and the legislators are looking
forward hopefully to being hack with
tlieir families early in December at the
latest.
When the assembly first convened
for this session there were those who
feared that it might have to sit for
fifty days, which would have carried it
nearly to Christmas time.
OLD GLORY FLOATS
OVER OUR SCHOOL
The teachers and pupils of the Cov¬
ington Public School recently donated
a handsome United States flag to the
school and last week the authorities
had placed on the school grounds an
iron flag pole about forty feet in length
and "< »ld Glory" is now hoisted every
morning on our school campus.
It is a splendid thing to teach our
children patriotism and tlie proper res¬
pect for our flag.
