Newton county, Covington arid the

message from Atlanta bearing upon
the physical condition of Mr. J. B.

who had sen him in town only a few
days previous.
Sympathy is. expressed on every hand
and many prayers ascend for his re¬
storation. Mr. and Mrs. Reeves have
a wide circle of sincere and admiring
friends.

farmer in the United States was saved
thirty dollars. That is the actual sav¬
ing in dollars that was made when the
valuation of property claimed by the
railroads was reduced $1,700,000
through the efforts of the American
Farm Bureau Federation. A recent
statement issued from the national
headquarters points out that this re¬
duction in the claimed valuation pre¬
vented a raise in freight rates of $100,
000,000 for the year 1921. Half of this
increase would have fallen on the farm¬
ers according to the statement. That
$30.00 is sufficient to pay the dues of
an individual in the county’ Farm Bu
rea in Georgia for six years.
Spalding County Farm Bureau mem¬
bers make the best fertilizer trade yet
reported. They bought the standard^
fertilizer formulas for $24.10 per ton
and selling cotton seed for $26.00 per
ten. Or they r can swap a ton of seed
for a ton of fertilizer and get $4.00 ex¬
tra. Nothing like knowing how to
trade. The Spalding County members
have bonught 429 tone cooperatively
for this figure and more to come.
The members of the Texas Farm Bu¬
reau Federation on December Pith was

A similar service is being performed

TORS ENJOY FIRST PRACTICE
SHOOT SATURDAY
The first registered practice shoot of
the Porterdale Gun Club was held Sat¬
urday at 2:30 P. M. although several
of tjie shooters had never,shot at the
trap a before, and we were unable to
secure the regular trap load. However,
5 the shooters and visitors were very en
| thusiastie. The -
j trophy of the club is a straw cap
j Which is to be v by the highest gun¬
worn
ner. who continues to wear it at each
shoot until some member of the club
breaks more targets than he—thijn he
gives up the championship cap until
rie can win it back again.
Dr. .1. C. Lovelass and W. B. Kyser
tied for the cap and had to shoot off the
j tie. Dr. and Loveless Mr. Kyser dropped got the his second Al
! target cap.
though the boys are all planning to
I take the cap-from Mr. Kyser in the
! next shoot, he is confidently relying
on his new Ithaca, which he says will
keep the ,cap in his possession.
The following is the score made at
50 targets:
Dr. J. C. Loveless, ......... ..........36
Mr. O. AV. Porter ......... .........34
Mr. AV. B. Bailey ......... ..........29

For the benefit of those concerned we
publish a copy of the Constitution and
By-Laws of the Club. We wish to add
that the first shoot recorded the very
best behavior, both by shooters and
visitors, and the occasion was enjoyed
by all, both male and female.
The Constitution and By-Laws of the
club follow:
“This Club shall be known as the

ty. and is organized for the purpose of

of the sport.

one shell in the gun at a time, and

to shoot he shall be responsible for the
conduct of his friend.
9. When a regular practice or tour¬
nament shoot is arranged the President
shall notify’ all members rind advertise
the shoot.
10. Our motto shall be safety, so¬
ciality, pleasure and marksmanship.

lished in the Covington News.

church. Besides delivering tw’o ser¬
mons on March 13th, this eminent di¬

capacity she touched many lives. Sooth¬
ed the sick, cheered the sad, encourag¬
ed the discouraged and rejoiced with
the glad. Gentle, modest and retiring,
yet brave and strong and true.

ful appreciation heard on every'side.
Mrs. Melton realized the end was
near, and spoke, calmly of her last Sab¬
bath on earth. She passed quickly, #
peacefully and now she sees her Pilot
face to face since she has crost the bar.

ton cemetery, took place Tuesday at
3 o’clock. Rev. W. B. Combs, assisted
by Rev. J. JO. Ellis, officiated.

FIRE AT SEA CAUSE
OF WILDEST PANIC
Piratical Band Destroys Ship to
Steal Gold
Fire at sea is fraught with terror be¬
yond almost all other experiencess of
mankind. The horror is intensified
when the burning * vessel is passen¬
a
ger ship bearing women and children,
and still further when it is known that
the fire has been set by’ fiends to cover
up another crime.
All these elements are present in
“Dead Men Tell No Tales,’’ a story of
crime, adventure and love, by E. W.
Hornung, author of “Raffles,” editor
for motion picture purposes by Mr. and
Mrs. George Randolph Chester. It has
been visualized Tom’Terriss as a spectacular and
thrilling production by vi
tagraph.
“Dead Men Tell no Tales” will bo
shown at- the Lyric Theatre on next
Monday and Tuesday.
Australian gold was the lure which
resulted in the ^formation of the mind
of SenorJoaqufn Santos, a villainou
Spanish adventurer, a plot which in¬
cluded the destruction of a passenger
ship at sea and the death ofall on hoard
The mind of the gold thieves were in¬
flamed with desire for the precious
metal, and they worked and fought fev¬
erishly for the treasure. The mind of
Santos was engaged by’ the hope of seiz¬
ing chests of the garnered gold, bound
for England on ship board, but it was
not inflamed. That mind worked cold¬
ly. deliberately, devilishly. It domina¬
ted the weaker mind of John Ratray,
in love with Santos’ beautiful step¬
daughter, Eva, and -overcame his scru¬
ples against entering into a plot to
steal the gold.
Santos did not dare tell Rattery that
his plan included the murder of me pas¬
sengers and crew of the Lady Jermyn
bored holes in one of the lifeboats and
cut the davit ropes of the other nearly
through. The gold was stored in the
captain’s gig before the fire was star¬
ted in the hole of the Lady Jermyn.
The'burning of the ship, and the des¬
perate struggles of passengers and
ergw to escape the dreadful fate pre¬
pared for them, form marly of the spec¬
tacular scenes in “Dead Men Tell no
Tales.” -
The One Absorbing Topic.
The reason some people don’t talk
more than they do is that they can’t
think of anything else to say nhout
themselves.—Boston Transcript.
