SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT.
Porterdale, June 9. 1921.
Editor News:
.Mr. County Commissioners where is
it?
In the dim and distant past we dis
tinctly remember various gtems of elo¬
cutionary art being poured out upon
our susceptible ears upon the good
sounding (to us) subject of a model road
from Porterdale to Covington.
It was before the last election that
these solicitous remarks were so freely
handed out, and in our' innocence we
believed every word of it and told our
people that soon we could motor over
to our busy and beautiful county seat
and drop our week’s pay into the cof¬
fers of the business men over there
and come home feeling good because w >
had such a good road to travel over.
Porterdale needs a good road to
Covington, and is entitled to it and
we hereby give notice that we are af¬
ter it. and that we usually get what
we go after if we are entitled to it. So
get busy gentlemen and carry out your
pre-election promises to our people.
Good roads are a necessity now far
more than ever before, and they are
also a sign of progressiveness and en¬
lightenment and no one will, for a mo¬
ment. dispute the statement that our
commissioners are both progressive
and enlightened, and we will add that
they want to do what is best for the
county.

MISS MURPHEY PASSED SATUR¬
DAY.
Funeral at Methodist Church Largely
Attended. Interment in Coring*
ton Cemetery.
After a lingering illness Miss Bobbie
Murphey passed into eternal rest, early
Saturday morning. June 4th. surround¬
ed by friends and loved ones.
The funeral occurred at the First
Methodist church. Sunday afternoon,
3 o’clock, in the presence of many
friends.
The services were impressively con¬
ducted by her pastor, Rev. J. E. Ellis.
Mrs. Fred Barnes sang ‘Face to Face”
with deep feeling. "Jesus Savior, Pi¬
lot Me" was also used in the musical
program. Mrs. W. H. Pickett. Jr.,
was accompanist. She played "Last
Hope” in conclusion.
The church was adorned with pure
white liliea. whose calyxes of gold ty¬
pified the golden heart, sleeping be¬
neath the flowers; every one, bespeak¬
ing a remembered kindness.
The funeral services were concluded
by Rev. J. K. Ellis. in Covington
cemetery. \
Among the relatives 'surviving the
deceased are her sister and life-long
companion, Miss Ellen Murphy: Mrs.
King and family of Decatur, two broth¬
els, one near College Park, the other
in South Georgia.
Of Miss Murphy, who was a long¬
time friend and neighbor, Mrs. J. W.
Lee pays this tribute:
"The young pastor, who had been
with us only a few months, preached a
comforting sermon. Although his ac¬
quaintance with Miss Murphy was
brief, yet be found in her an inspira
tion. Mr. Ellis caught the vision of
the great soul within the frail body.
The strong faith, which glorified her
life, and shone from her face. -
"Those who knew her best loved her
most.”
It was the sunshine of her nature,
the purity of heart, the kindness of
spirit, that was beloved. .She found
peace in love's unselfishness. Truth,
cheerfulness and gentleness formed the
key note of her character, .the power
and influence of her limited sphere and
environments.
It is easy enough to be pleasant
When life flows on like a song:
But the tine worth while
Is the one with a smile \
When every tiling goes dead wrong.”

FIRST HAND
GLIMPSE OF CAMP
AT INDIAN SPRINGS
Covington’s Loyalty and Generosity
Praised by Members of Girl’s
Club—-Outing Splendid
Success
Many and various are the camps that
have taken place in Covington, but one
may safely say that never has there
been one similar to the Girl’s’ Club
Camp at Indian Springs, which began
last Thursday at noon and continued
until Tuesday afternoon.
In the first place it was different in
the large number that went on it,
eighty-one in all. fifty-six being mem¬
bers of the club, the others chaperones
and other Covington people. Knowing
such a large party could not be made
comfortable on an ordinary camp in
tents, the club fell upon the unique
plan of going to Indian Springs and
putting up at the Wigwam Hotel.
Tho this was a very good plan, it
could never have been a success, had
it not betjn for the interest the people
of Covington showed in helping the
girls carry it out. They gladly offered
their cars to carry girls and baggage to
Indian Springs, and not content with
that, some of them came down to camp
every night and their presence added
very much to the pleasure of every one.
Never did a camp run more smoothly.
None of the hitches and quarrels that
usually come in an undertaking, in¬
volving so many people, occurred. All
of such were frightened away by the
capable manner in which Miss Lucy
White, president of the club, conduct¬
ed things. It was really wonderful the
way she carried it thru. But she was
not alone in this, for the chaperones,
the Itest a camp ever had, and all the
girls co-operated with her. in every
way. And besides, there were no
great difficulties to over come, so per¬
fectly hud the management of the hotel
seen to their comfort and entertain¬
ment.
When the camp broke up Tuesday it
was with much regret, for it seemed
like the breaking up of a big family,
so fond had they all become of each
other. Not only that, but it was hard
to leave the place where such a good
time had been spent in bowling, swim¬
ming. dancing, and all other forms of
amusement.
The reconciling thought was to re¬
member that very few of the number
were really leaving for those new
friends were really not strangers, but
Covington people whom the camp had
brought together.

Being “Out of One’s Element."
When you see folks out of their ele¬

duct. The fish out of water is no more
strange than the average chap in wa¬
ter when he can’t touch bottom. A
(vild duck in a parlor would cause
quite a commotion, hut he wouldn’t be
more* out of place than would some
uncouth eccentric at a White House
reception, or an angel at a bull fight.
Yet all these have their rightful places.
Oul of their elements folks are strange.
The average city boy pokes fun at the
rustic as he opens his eyes in wild
amazement at the strange sights of
the big city. But that same city boy
is just as much at sea in the woods
