ANOTHER SOCIAL CIRCLE
CITIZEN IS HONORED
Our enterprising hardware man, Mr.
E. L. Almand, was honored by being
elected president of the Georgia Retail
Hardware Dealers Association at their
annual meeting in Atlanta last week.
Mr. Almand was not only honored
with the presidency of the association,
but was the luck} man in the draw for
the magnificent advertising shield of¬
fered by the Simmons Hardware Co.,
of Philadelphia. The shield is ingen
ously gotten up and is a thing of beau
i ly and value. It is on exhibition at the
! Almand Hardware store. Drop in and

WITH EVERY GOOD WISH TO ALL.
Tiling of combatting the apatumed scarcity At'
Linotype aperators and printers and the constantly
developing problems in the pubbshing business un¬
der existing conditions, we have sold The Covingtou
News to Ralph Meeks and W. E. Lightfoot, of the
Calhoun Times, two practical newspaper men who
are thoroughly qualified handicap. to issue a weekly news¬
paper under almost any
Since assuming control of The News ou February
14, 1918, we have witnessed the increase of its ad¬
vertising patronage from a weekly average of about
‘200 to more than 700 inches with little solicitation,
and it affords us great pleasure to express our sin¬
cere appreciation of all advertising and job patron¬
age that has been committed to our attention.
We have learned to love Covington and Newtou
county and are disposing of The News with much
reluctance, but after working on a daily average of
eighteen hours for two years we have concluded to
shift the burden of composing room problems to
more capable management. Being neither a Lino¬
type operator or printer, we have been issuing the
paper under discouraging conditions for two years.
Labor in the publication business is scarce, unre¬
liable and inefficient; newsprint paper has advanced
from $88 to $300 a ton and there is none in t-he
market, and the profiteer is spearing Georgia edi¬
tors from every angle.
Go where we may in the coining years, we will
ever hold the good people of Newton county in
high esteem and be gleti to greet them on any and
all occasions. We entertain no hope of a future
sojourn in a more desirable county or a more pro¬
gressive or ideal town. That this prosperous little
city is one of Georgia’s most valuable assets r-miMMlfifr eauffut
be successfully denied; that it is a spot
favored by the Creator is generally aniuifted.
To the extent of our ability we have striven t«
co-operate liberally and intelligently in the promo¬
tion of every contemplated enterprise afid advisable
“movement,” and our parting regret is that we have
succeeded in accomplishing s-o little material benefit
in such a fruitful field of endeavor. Our failure to
interest the people of Newton county in the organ¬
ization of a Board of Trade is our chief regret, Imt
we feel that we did all that we humanly could to
secure a successful conclusion to this worthy proj¬
ect. Our interest in the Newton County Fair is
abiding, even though our stock in tire Associatioa
is insignificant, No county cau maintain a wore
profitable asset afid we earnestly urge the people
of this great agricultural and cattle breeding sec¬
tion to stand as a, unit in support of the annual
fair and at all times, under all conditions, to accord
unto the managers encouragement and support.
To the merchants and other business and profes¬
sional men of the county who have patronized The
News or wished us well in a perilous time, we desire
to extend our cordial thanks and te assure them
that we hate rejoiced with them over the continued
prosperity and progress of this community.
Since first electing to engage in the newspaper
Uusjjjess we have endeavored to stand four-square
for that which we considered right and to “do unto
others as we would have them do uutv us,” caring
bttle for the gossip of idle tongues and declining
to solicit commendation. We do riot claim to have
succeeded in the execution of our lofty intentions,
for it is human to fail, and we have, always been in
tensely human; hut before judging ua harshly pause
for a moment and consider your individual worth
in this county.
Every county newspaper has it* local critics
usually consisting of a small gang of irresponsible
people who have long been recognized as a commu¬
nity nuisance. No editor escapes the unkind and
often reckless tongue of the gossip, Who wu* created
by rejected matter after the devil had completed
his work of manufacturing skunks and buzzards,
lie have friends whom we love and doubtless
mies who do hate, ene¬
we not and for whose opinion
we care as ittle as we care for the winds that blow
m the South Sea- Islands.
In leaving we bid many kind friends a fond good
with every good wish for their continued health
happiness and prosperity. We hope to have the
pleasure of meeting you often when vo» leave Geor¬
gia s best town to visit the South’# greatest urtv

WALTON COUNTY SINGING
CONVENTION MEETS HERE
(From Social Circle New Era.)
The Walton County Singing Con¬
vention, only about four years old, will
meet in its 1920 session at Social Cir
cle on the fifth Sunday in May. The
Board of Trustees of the public school
of the place having kindly tendered
the use of the auditorium for holding
the session and assured the convention
officers of a hearty welcome. The
convention, by a rule of its by-laws,
meets on the fifth Sunday in order not
to conflict with churches that hold ser¬
vices every other Sunday in the month,
thus giving all the people an opportun¬
ity to attend without “cutting” ser¬
vices in their own churches.
The officers of the convention are:
Mr. Benjamin C. Dickinson, president;
Mr. Thomas McIntosh, vice-president;
Mr. I d A. Caldwell, secretary and
treasurer; Mr. N. A. Bray, chaplain;
Mr. Cleve Doster, corresponding sec¬
retary.
The convention has ruled that it
shall be self-sustaining—that the mem¬
bers thereof and all well-wishers, who
will take part, shall carry dinner with
them with which to feed the people.
The local community does only what
it sees fit and proper to do, and it is
not believed that Social Circle will not
do heir full share in taking care of her
guests:
The local committees on entertain¬
ment, as named by President Dickin¬
son and the other officers, are as fol
lows; Messrs. E. L. Almand, chair
ruang George Hatcher, Mell Knox, J.
H. Adams, J. L. Newton, P. A. Stan
ton, Charlie Loyd, Charlie Gresham,
Bruce Allen, James Wiley, Emory
Heyodon, H. L. Rowe, Will Hurst, Jno.
T. Mitchell, Walter Lane, L. A. Mai
com, Cawley Brown, Carey Crawley,
Potter Jay, Joseph Freeman, Will F.
Mayo, J. Rosenberg, W. J. €1 egg and
G. R. Lindsey.
The 1919 convention at NewHope,
Between, this county, brought together
something like 3,000 people—one of
the largest crowds seen upon any one
occasion in the county. Since the
growing, beautiful town of Social Cir¬
cle is near the line of several pro¬
gressive counties, counties in which
there are singers and lovers rtf song, it
is estimated that at least five thousand
people will gather here this month.
The officers of the convention arc
anxious for all the singers, the leaders
of song, the composers and publishers
oi song books from Newton, Morgan,
Jasper, Putnam and Rockdale to join
in with those from Walton, Oconee.
Jackson, Hall, Barrow, Gwinnett, Ogle¬
thorpe, Clarke and Greene in making
the convention one of the greatest in
its history in this county.
Mrs. J. B. Vaughn, w r ife of the late
publisher of song books and composer
of beautiful music, and who herself is
a fine singer, wdtli a large delegation
from Athens, is expected to attend the
convention.
