Ramblings on the Street
A N
Round About
By the “Rambler”
f The fair tx ' X

■ 1 N ' Q u * 5 1T i vt. Nf- 5 SAg^V
Upon liis arrival in Covington dur
ing ‘‘Good Turn Week,” the Rambler
was favorably impressed by the excel
I cnee of the window displays prepared Scouts.] j
by the Covington Troop of Boy
Covington has a large troop, compos
ed of manly boys, who do not effective] limit j
their endeavor to accomplish j
results to any particular week in the
year, being often prominently and ef-,
fectively identified with \arious pro-:
gressive movements of Covington and,
Newton County. 1 he Scouts are plan-j
ning ilie erection of a summer camp
near the city, where they will spend:
several weeks under the command ofl
Uie Scout Master.
There can he no doubt that < oving
ton has the most progressive motion:
picture theater of any of Georgia’s
smaller cities and the management is
to be congratulated upon the excel¬
lence of the daily programs, many pic¬
tures appearing in this city being rav¬
ed over in Atlanta and larger cities
several days later. Other feature films
will be shown in the near future and
liberal patronage is assured on the ap¬
pearance of every worth-while picture,
of which many are in prospect.
Early in the new year farmers are
beginning to manifest a lively interest
in the third annual exposition of the
Newton County Fair Association, the
dates of which have not yet been se¬
lected, although it will in all proba¬
bility be held early in October. The
success of the fairs of 1918 and 1919
have inspired stingy citizens and '‘un
progressives’’ to realize that they made
a mistake in failing to co-operate„with
the promoters upon the first day of
organization.
A voter asked The Rambler other
day if there would be any candidates
for the county offices whose announce¬
ments had not already appeared in
The News. He said that he did not
believe that any man who drew money
tor holding an office should be too
economical to ask for it through the
columns of his county newspaper, fol¬
lowing which he was informed that
other announcements would appear
later and that all would receive equal
consideration from The News.
The Rambler is glad to note that
Charles A. Sockwell, one of Coving¬
ton’s most popular and successful
farmers and business men, is making
extensive improvements on his prop¬
erty just across Pace street from The
News office. George W. Ramsey, au¬
tomobile dealer, is already occupying
a building recently completed by Mr.
Sockwell. who will have others ready
for occupancy within a few weeks, all
of which have or will be rented prior
to completion. It is hoped that other
progressive citizens will emulate the
example of Mr. Sockwell and aid in
the relief of the present congested
condition of the city.
The advertisements in this issue of
The News offer interesting information
to the careful housewife who is de¬
sirous of receiving the worth of her
money when she goes shopping. Mer¬
chants whose advertisements appear
in the newspapers are not penny-split¬
ters and as a rule they may be depend
i d upon to deal with others as they
would be dealt by. Trade with mof
ohants who advertise; then with mer¬
chants who do not. and note the differ¬
ence
Mayor Henry Odum is already “at
home’’ in the office to which he was
recently elected by the voters of Cov
ington. He is manifesting a commend¬
able interest in the affairs of every de-“
partment of the city and lends a will¬
ing and friendly ear to all complaints,
regardless of the circumstances or so
I cial standing of the complainants.
That his administration is exceediing
1 1 He expectation of his many friends
is already apparent. He is receiving
the cordial support of the members of
council and others in position of in¬
fluence.
The Rambler has been requested to
urge the city council to enact an ordi
( nance prohibiting street bcgr.htg ami
the soliciting of all funds except those
' requested through local recognized
channels, such as the churches of
city or any other reputable
lion. The Rambler is of the
that < the ordinance should be passed
with an extension including “drives,”
campaigns and movements of all
kinds. Drive promoters should
driven to work or to jail
Hon. Henry F. Branham, sta'e dairy
inspector, one of the best knov n oiti
sens of Georgia, for many > -
popular and honored resident of Cov
ington, has stated to friends that he
would be a candidate for the stale
senate from the Thirty-fourth district,
composed of the counties of Newton,
Rockdale and DeKalb in the event that
this county was accorded the honor
of electing a senator in the 1920 pri¬
mal,v. which is considered probable,
the other two counties of the district
having had representation in the sen¬
ate since Newton was similarly hon¬
ored. It is also rumored that other
candidates may be in the race, but
Mr. Branham is the only aspirant who
has made a public statement con¬
cerning his intentions.

venience more than a Ladies’ Rest

() j, building in which he is conduct
j n g a prosperous mercantile business
and that adjoining, occupied by the
pi rs t National Bank of Covington. Mr.
| jev j n has confidence in the value of
Covington real estate and is to be
commended for his progressive ideas
and quick action in important mat¬
ters, the deal being effected in a few
hours.
W. B. R. Pennington, one of Oov
ingfon’s most prominent and success¬
ful merchants and business men, is
spending a few days at Robinson’s
Sanitarium in Atlanta, taking treat¬
ment from an expert for indigestion,
from which lie has been a sufferer
several years. Mr. Pennington’s many,
speedy and 1
friends wish him a com
plete recovery, as he is amply able
to meet the insistant demands of a
hearty appetite despite the high cost
of living.
Abe L. Loyd, is a young man well
qualified to perform the duties of the
office of Ordianry. He is making a.
clean race and is worthy of tho sup
port of all the voters, from whom he
is roceivin assurnaecs of recognition.
Abe is a man upon whom the peoph
of Newton county can depend to serve
them faithfully and efficiently. Vote
for Abe. —Ad.
Despite the fact that Dr. Joe A
Sharp, headmaster of Emory Univer
sity Academy at Oxford, sometimes
insists on wearing a ten-dollar suit of
clothes and smoking a ten-cent cob
he is one of the most
munerous-titled men in the state, be¬
ing a reverend, a doctor of divinity, a
professor, mayor of Oxford and just
plain “Joe.’’ It is gratifying to know
that Dr. Sharp has made Emory Uni¬
versity Academy one of the rnosr pop¬
ular and successful secondary educa¬
tional institutions in the South, as
well as one of the largest. The citi¬
zens of the historic little town of Ox¬
ford. who imagined that the removal
of the collegiate department would to .Em-j
ory University, Atlanta, olimi-:
nate future prosperity and prospects,!
have revised their opinion and are ro
operating most heartily with Dr. Sharp]
in every proposed enterprise.
Judge William E. H. Searcy, Jr., of
ill Flint Judicial Circuit, will preside
over the Newton Superior Court dur¬
ing civil week, beginning the third
Monday in March. Judge Searcy,
whose home is in Griffin, is one of the
ablest and most conscientious jurists
in the state, and will receive a cordial
welcome from Die members of the
Newton County bar. Judge John it.
Hutcheson, of the Stone Mountain Cir¬
cuit, will preside in Fayetteville for
Judge Searcy on tho third Monday in
March and throughout the week, but
will he on the bench in Newton when
the criminal docket is called the sec¬
ond week in his usual good form.
Might ns weir vote for “Hub” Gaith¬
er for Sherif and Walt Childs for
his Deputy. No)toy could appreciate

It is rumored on the streets that
tiie report of the United States Cen¬
sus Department relative to the popu
lation of Covington will be somewhat
disappointing to those of the citizens
who had fixed their estimate at 4.000.
While nobody knows anything definite,
il being a violation of their oath forj
census enumerators to divulge any in¬
formation in advance of the official]
announcement of the government, it isj
n«.t thought that the figures will ex
J.300, which is a surprise in view f
of the fact tjiat the population in 1910,
was reported at 2.197. It is the belief]
of many that Covington is entitled to]
a new count, but no timely effort was:
exerted in that direction despite the J
fact that the supervisor for the Eighth
Congressional District offered canvass-j to co-j
with the citizens in
ing the situation.
Vote for “Hub” Gaither for Slier- j
iff and Walt Childs will be his Dep¬
uty. These two men are making no

candidacy to the enters in a lair and ,
