Hon. Hoke Smitli is out strong for
Hardwick in the race for Governor.
If any body in Newton county wants
to select some up-to-date fall wearing
apparel, just take a peep at some of
the show windows in Covington, if
you don't find the best, it can’t be
found.
New York Mas become so infested
with foreigners it is about as bad as
Europe. When the number arrives
that there will be uo more room for us
in our own country, we will have to
fake to tlio ocean and turn the whole
thing over to the ‘'wops.”
Monday was a hot and dusty day.
Thanks to those who got out the city
sprinkler and relieved us of the dust of.
the square just the same, even if it die
not find its way just a liltl t . ways oi
the streets leading to the square.
October (5th will lie a big day in Cov¬
ington. The Newteu County Fair will
be in full swing and the voters will
east their ballot for Ex-Senator Hard¬
wick or Cliff Walker, who are in a run
over race for the Governorship.
Hon. Thomas E. Watson is asking
his friends to vote for Hardwick in tin
run-over race for the governor’s chair
If Watson’s friends stick by him ir
this—well you know what the result
will lie when the votes are couuted.
Have we faith iVi Covington and
Newton county? The answer is, WE
HAVE. Every one in this city and in
Newton county should talk of iiei
enterprises, her beauties and her pnssi.
hi!ities, morning, noon and night am
every day. When we get enough faitl
to do that we will have strong enor.gl
faith to build a city of 20,000 peopl 1 ii
the near future. If the peopl of < ov
ington hatMlte vision that some o:!ie;
people have we would now he on > o'
the leading cities oi the state, rat, inj
in size with the eighth or ninth lav -st
It takes vision an < fail’ll as' well a
men and money b mild a city. Cov¬
ington is growing: ad has all Cues
things, so let’s all t to work on a big
ger city. We lea. ‘‘rom good saurci
that there is going he a booster oi
ganization formed re before long am
the results of such a body of represen
fativp citizens is going to start thing
moving for a bigger city.
The city of Covington has a beauti¬
ful city park. In one corner in tin
shade of a stately oak there is a natur
nl spring where many of our citizen;
go to drink of the pure water, soon
with vessels* to take it to their home
It is truly an advantage over many
places that would give most any pric<
if such could be bought. It is called
Academy Spring. The Woman’s C’lul
has took great pride in the park as? t
whole; had all the weeds cut. pu
benches there and it now is a beauty
snot of our town. Growing there art
many heautiful shade trees which only
<ld to the pleasure of the park Thor,
could be saiil much more about it
and why the city values it so much, for
a town that has no park is badly hand.
Tapped, if we all hut knew.
Like most everything else that ha 1
been promoted with human power,
there is some fault, minor or other
v. i tv >. and so with our park. And we
earnestly cal! attention to the parents
of some of the children, (we know not
vlrch) who play at times there and
especially around the spring to the
fact that a few lessons in sanitation
for them would have a marvelous ef¬
fect in helping to keep the park in a
sanitary condition. Tf the practice of
tliesp little boys continue it might as
well he made into a hog pen as there
will “oon he no difference.
Enemies Died Together.
A rural postman In Inverness found
