COVINGTON, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27,
HAVE YOU REGISTERED
FOR CITY ELECTION?
The 1 ' t ‘ ls going, to be an election in
th .
~ h1 '" ~ ~
you will be disqualified as a voter to
participate in this election.
* ’’’’IB’dration books are now open
and will close on November 20th, so if
you have any interest in seeing
your city go ahead, go at once (don t
wait) and put your name on the books
at the city clerk’s office.
At previous elections there has been
some citizens that failed to register,
and their excuse for not doing so was
the same old story—“Intended to, but
forgot.” To vote is a privilege, and
duty and should not be neglected. How
do you expect the town you live in* to
ever rank with the best in Georgia if
you. wait for the other fellow to do it
alone. The whole secret of the success
of any up-to-date place is in the men
who are at its head with a purpose to
guide it safely on.
In looking over the registration
books will be seen that very few have
registered to date. Among the number
already qualified are women, and no
doubt many more will register before
the books close.
Everybody that can should register
and vote; that is the only way to have
’good city government.
ALL ABOARD FOR RALLY DAY!
Sunday, October 30th, 9:45 A. M.
If a member duty calls you.
If a non-church goer, this invites you.
If a stranger, a church home for you.
Whosoever you may be, a welcome
awaits you.
At the Covington Presbyterian church,
The Church with a glad hand.
Rev. C. B. Tomb, Minister.
Rally Day at 1:45 Sunday morning
You are invited. The pastor will give
a three minute talk to the children on
The Pedometer.’’ Prov. 4: 23.
The men of this church are hard at
work and now is the time for every
one to fall in line.
At eleven o’clock service the theme
will be "Three Tabernaeles”( Matt,
17: 4.
What song have you been used to
singing and do you like that song? At
7:30 you are invited to hear a sermon
on “The song of the happy.’’ Ps. 32: 1.

TO AID UNEMPLOYED
BY BARRING ALIENS
Legislation Proposed by Georgia Sena- j
A t,„„. till..—Business
men here and in other sections of the
state and the south have expressed
considerable interest in legislation in
troducel in the national senate by
Hon. Wm. J. Harris, senior senator of
Georgia, to stop the immigration of
aliens into the United States.
The Geoorgia senator makes the
point that the number of unemployed
in the United States is estimated to
be several millions. Included in this
number are many thousand ex-soldiers,
He thinks and puts his thoughts in
the language of a joint resolution,
now before congress, that immediate
action is urgently demanded in order
to relieve and remedy existing condi
tions. He shows that it is the duty of
congress to protect the citizens and
inhabitants of the United States in so
far as it is within its power to do so.
“The immediate stoppage of the un¬
migration of aliens affords a material
and direct means of vitally assisting
in a reduction in the number of unem
ployed and in providing -employment
for American, citizens," declares Sena
tor Harris.
MIGRATORY BIRDS
NOW ON THE WING
I
The annual (light of wild game birds
southward from their breeding grounds
is on and is ahead this year of the usu
ai time such flights start, according to
the Biological Survey, United States
department of agriculture. Many more
thousands of birds are now on the
wing, the department states, than
have flown south for years.
I All indications are that the flight
will not only furnish hunters excellent
sport, but that there will have to be
little waiting after the open season
starts. No reason is assigned by the
department for the earliness of the
southern flight. Only the birds know,
| The pintail and the teal already are
on the wing. The mallard, the canvas
back, the redhead, the widgeon, the
black head and other later emiigrants
soon will be on their way to warmer
climes. Reports from almost every see
tion tell of the great size of the flights
already under way.

OLD HOME TOVvM PAPER t
TO "" HAVE A " WEEK
j
“SSr“
November 7-12 has been set as "Sub- ‘
scribe for Your Home Town Paper I
Meek, „ and , this , . together , ;
newspaper,
with the thousands of country news
papers the United States over—there
are not far from 15.01)1) of them, week
......... -......I.........— -.............
i’Ote.
The purpose of .lie campaign is not
only to induce residents of the small
communities and the home town folks
who are far from their native heath
to subscribe for the home paper, but
also to emphasize the important place
the home newspaper plays in the life
of its community.
This campaign has the hearty sup¬
port and co-operation not only of the
newspapers but thousands of minis¬
ters and school principals, and many
state agricultural colleges and farm
and home bureau organizations.
Some persons, It is pointed out, have
been inclined fo belittle the place and
function of the country newspaper.
They have not realized that in reality
the home paper is it community insti¬
tution and that it enables the other
institutions, such as the church and
the school and all the rest to function
better and more effectively. That it is
a necessity if the town is to advance.
During the time between now and
"Home Town Paper Week,’’ Novem¬
ber 7-12, this newspaper in its col¬
umns will have much to say about the
Home Town Paper—not this newspa¬
per in particular, but the home town
paper the nation over, tlse home town
newspaper as a real and distinctive
factor in American life.
A Messenger to Garcia,
'1’he local newspaper is the mes¬
senger to Garcia for your town. It
goes out to the world as an advertise¬
ment for the community. To he a good
advertisement it must he a good news¬
paper. To be a r od newspaper it
must have 1 lie suppoU of the people
of the community in the way of sub¬
scriptions and advertising. Are you
doing your part toward making your
paper a good anerfisemeiit for this
community, one that will carry the kind
of a message the people of the c in- j
nmnity wish carried to the world? t
MANSFIELD P. T. A.
The silver tea recently given at the
home of Mm F. H. Franklin by the

NEW FEATURES OF THE NEWS
As is the custom of this paper to ai
ways give our readers the benefit of
the very best we can see our way
clear to put forth, we have just added
two more features to the paper which
we believe will be enjoyed by those
who like humor, along with other mat¬
ter carried in a newspaper, so we
have secured the right to carry each
week "Hambone’s Meditations,” a
comic cartoon of an old negro togeth¬
er with natural characteristics in
prose and song.
Another feature which will he
watched for every week is “Squire
Edgegate,” who is a judge, and has an
awful time with his lawyers in and
out of court. Watch for these comic
strips which will go a long way to
put Demon Gloom on the run, and if
not blue see them anyway.
