The average newspaper that

on the railroads. All statistics foi
fatalities include automobile grade¬
accidents and injuries to ttes

ways are responsible, hut which go to

Mr. AYinhurn says that the handling
of a heavier business with a smaller
number of fatalities is a barometer of
railwav efficiency, and pledges the re¬

SPLENDID RESULTS FROM
CLEAN-UP
Although the clean-up campaign
scheduled to close April 25th, the
people of Covington seem to have con
traded the habit and are still “carry¬
ing on.” ,
A mervelous transformation
wrought in the court house. Such an
fever-hauling and general renovation
had not been known in years.
The postoffice held a real spring
cleaning and is as bright as a new pin.
All the churches looked carefully after
th£ ways of their lawns. The ladies of
the Methodist Sunday school had a
now fence built and planted afresh
flower beds.
The spirit of civic pride has been re¬
newed and the town is fair to look
upon. Tiie flower gardens have been
a never ending delight.
Mrs. Clark as president of the Wo¬
man s Club and her zealous co-workers
have been highly commended for the
unflagging efforts.
The city authorities encouraged the
movement in every way possible.
The elean-up campaign was a great
thing for Covington.
MRS. MAE WHITE LEE
RETURNS FROM CONVENTION
One of the greatest events in movie
circles for the interest of the people
was the Better Films convention in
Atlanta last Friday. Mrs. Mae White
Lee was a delegate and reports a won¬
derful session in which many excellent
talks were made. Co-operation with the
people was the key note, wherein the
church, the people, producers and ex¬
hibitors must get together for the
good of all concerned. The movie as a
potent, powerful influence is here and
here to stay. The convention propagat¬
ed many things for the future that will
be of incalculable value.
Mrs. Lee is one of the most enthusi¬
astic members of the profession and is
taking a stand for all that is uplifting
and helpful to the public welfare.

A SHORT TALK
By J. Marvin Rast,
The Land of the Hyperboreans
Mythology tells us that the ancient
Greeks imagined that the ^arth to the
north of them was peopled by a race
of fortunate men whom they called
H.v per boreans.
These people, the Greeks thought,
dwelt in perpetual bliss, were favored
a never-ending springtide, lived in
homes “inaccessible by land or by sea,”
were “exempt from disease, old
and death.” They further thought
Hyperborenas ? to be so virtuous
the gods occasionally visited them,
shared their feasts and games.
Although cut off from these fortu¬
folk, the Greeks earnestly hoped
arrive in their land sometime, some¬
Had they only looked about them
eyes undimmed by the familiarity
things, they would have beheld their
fair land to be just as beautiful
that of their imaginary noghbors,
their own lot just as fortunate.
But this was not the case. The beau¬
of Athens, the poetry of Homer, the
of Plato, the oratory of
the genius of Phidias,—
did not appeal to them like this
of a land where mortals reside
happily.
Would that such delusions among
had passed with the exploded the¬
of the ancient Greeks. But nay,
so. We have with us yet those who,
of their lot, fool themselves into
that somewhere to the north,
somewhere, is a land of pure delight.
Such a phantom is constantly find¬
ing expression in the restless disposi¬
tion of the human soul.
Observe the small boy chafing under
of home and school, all the
looking forward to a distant time
when he shall be his own man. Ob¬
serve him again in college, or out in
the world with his childhood dream a
reality. Still he is dreaming of the
land of the Hyperboreans—a land more
pleasant than the one he now inhabits,
a land he hopes some day to possess.
True, a certain dissatisfaction with
existing conditions is essential to
progress in any line, but just as essen¬
tial is peace of mind.
While forging ahead to what you
consider a better state of things, do not
forget to live in the present. Take time
to enjoy the beauty of flowers, the
twitter of birds, the laughter of chil¬
dren. and the confidence of friends.
AVith these incorporated in your life,
you may walk serenely with the con¬
sciousness that you already dwell in
the land of the Hyperboreans.
OWN YOUR OWN HOME
It may not be possible for every man to own his home,
but if it can be done that should be the object of e\ T ery labor¬
ing man; for Avhen times are dull and he happens to be laid
off he will find comfort in the knowledge that his home is
safe and he will not be obliged to move because he cannot
pay the rent.
A man owning his home is independent, and when the
time comes that he is obliged to lay off from his job he can
put in his othenvise loafing days in fixing up his buildings,
caring for the garden, painting and doing other jobs that
will not only enhance the beauty of his place hut will add to
its selling value, provided he should at any time conclude to
convert the property into cash, as might become necessary
if he should decide to move to another locality.
Own your home, and keep it beautiful and in good repair
and you will have a convertible asset at all times, salable at
a higher market value than you may have paid for it.
L. P. LOYD’S ROLLER MILLS
RUNNING FULL CAPACITY
About one of the busiest places
the county is the L. P. Loyd
mills. He has tnree large grist
in operation all the time and can hard¬
ly keep up with the great number
orders coming in for meal and feed.
Last week as evidence of the excel¬
lent product the mill is turning out
there was shipped from here a solid
cur load of meal to Augusta. And an¬
other market in Atlanta is buying
hundreds of bushels of meal from Mr.
Loyd.
The large flour mill recently installed
has been running some and the flour
is unexcelled. When the wheat crop
comes off the machinery which occu¬
pies space on two floors will be in a
whirl for many weeks.

WITHOUT STREET ADDRESS
YOUR MAIL IS DELAYED
OFFICE OF DELIVERY
The Dead Letter Office has been in
existence ever since Ben Franklin
started our postal service. Even then
people addressed mail to Mr. Ezekiel
Smithers, “Atlantic Coast,” and ex¬
pected Ben to know just where Zeke
lived.
Perhaps they had Zeke’s address in
letters up In the garret, maybe a chest
full of ’em, but then it was easier to
let Ben hunt Zeke. Today people are
addressing letters to John Smith, New
York, N. Y., or Chicago, 111., thinking
Uncle Sam can locate him, which is
just as incomplete as was Zeke’s ad¬
dress of yore. The Postoffice Depart¬
ment asks you to put the number and
street in the address. It helps you.
How do you expect the Postal Clerk
to know whether you mean Trinidad,
California, or Trinidad, Colorado?
ALWAYS SPELL OUT THE NAME
OF THE STATE IN FULL IN THE
ADDRESS.
‘MORE BUSINESS
IN GOVERNMENT”
This apt phrase was used in Presi¬
dent Harding's first message to Cor
gress and applies particularly in postal
management where postmasters are
being impressed with the fact that
they are managers of local branches
of the biggest business In the world.
Let’s make our post office look neat,
Mr. Postmaster. Straighten up the
rural letter box, Mr. Farmer. Tidy
up some, Mr. Rural Carrier. First
impressions are lasting. Maybe Mr.
Stranger, taking notice of these im¬
provements, will come back, bringing
you benefits. Start these with “POS¬
TAL IMPROVEMENT WEEK” May

HUMANIZING THE
POSTAL SERVICE
“There ls no unimportant person or
part of our service. It is a total of
human units and their co-operation is
the key to its success. In its last
analysis, postal duties are accommo¬
dations performed for our neighbors
and friends and should be so regarded,
rather than as a hired service per¬
formed for an absentee employer.”—
Postmaster General Hubert Work.
GUN CLUB ORGANIZED
The Porterdale Gun Club has been
organized under the head of The New¬
ton County Gun Club and will be locat¬
ed on Mr. O. AV. Porters place near the
incorporated limits of Covington on the
Covington and Porterdale road.
The dates of shooting will . be an¬
nounced as soon as the trap is in op¬
eration and the members get together
and decides on the time.
A squad is preparing to go to Atlanta
this week to shoot in the State shoot.
RIGGERS AND UPSHAW
OPEN MEAT MARKET
Messrs. Biggers & Upshaw have in¬
stalled a large and up-to-date refrige
tor in their grocery store, and in the
future will carry a complete line of
fresh meats. Air. Dewey Eiggers, an
experienced meat cutter, wifi be in
charge of the market.
This firm has only been open a few
weeks and during this short time they
have made a wonderful improvement
in their store. The building was thor¬
oughly cleaned, painted and re-arrang¬
ed throughout and now has the ap¬
pearance <*f a model city store.
RAI.PT SHEPHERD
TRASFERRED TO NEW ORLEANS
After studying for some time in an
art school in Birmingham, Ala.. Mr.
Ralph Shepherd has been transferred
by the government to the Delgardo Art
school in New Orleans, La. Before
making this change, Mr. Shepherd
came over from Birmingham for a
week-end visit to his mother, Airs. Gal¬
lic Shepherd.
GEORGIA RAILROAD
“STOP LOOK AND LISTEN”
Four years ago we issued several hun
dr *d large pictures of an Automobile
approaching a Railroad Crossing in
front of a locomotive; a little boy is
waving them to stop. These pictures
were posted broadcast, in depots, banks,
business houses and coaches of Georgia
Railroad trains, with the hope that it
would induce people using automobiles
to be mindful of the great danger in
crossing the Railroad and Stop. Look
and Listen. Tt may be surprising to
you to know that during 1921 we had
thirty-five (35) automobile accidents at
crossings, resulting in five deaths and
many injuries. The total cost to the
Georgia Railroad amounted to Fortv
Six Thousand ($46,000.00) Dollars. AA”e
are trying to use every precaution
against such accidents and we are writ¬
ing to ask that you do the same in the
interest of humanity and all concerned.
The longest train will pass in two min
utes and surely any one can wait that
long in the face of such great danger.

We should now put forth every ef¬

The State Board of Health is pre¬

It can be furnished at very small cost.
The test known as the Schick test is
furnished free.
Our State is not in the registration
area for births; it should be, the peo¬
ple should see that it is. We must get
a certain percentage of the average
births before this can he done. You
can help; see that every birth is re¬
ported to the local registrar. Let’s
put Georgia on the map.
