(By Mrs. R. L. Hollis, Hayston, Ga.)
Readers of last week’s News scarcely
failed to note the announcement of the
sa i e 0 f a carload of hogs by a Coving¬
ton lady, Mrs. E. G. Martin, but per¬
haps not everyone recognized the sig¬
nificance and importance of the facts
recorded
Mrs Martin is the wife of Mr. E. G.
Martin a prominent contractor of Cov
ington Last year, while Mr. Martin
wa s in another state filling extended
engagements in his line of work, Mrs.
Martin not only performed competent¬
ly the management of her home ana
domestic affairs, which everyone knows
t0 be a full-sized job in itself, but also
she superintended successfully a cotton
farm, and began to assemble a herd of
Duroc Jersey hogs.
Her eminent success in this under¬
taking was amply evidenced, a few
days ago, by her sale of the above
mentioned carload. The collection of
beautiful porkers numbered more than
forty. Most of them were classed A',
and brought 8 1-2 cents per pound.
Mrs. Martin herself went to Atlanta,
and made the sale, which netted more
than six hundred and fifty $650.00) dol¬
lars. The shippers pronounced the car
lot the finest received in Atlanta this
season and stated that Mrs. Martin was
the very first woman to effect a deal ol
the kind in that market.
Newton county hats are off to the
thrift and perseverance of the plucky
little lady. Her splendid achievement is
a matter of especial pride to everyone
in the county, as Mrs. Martin is a na
five of Newton, being the daughter of
Mr. W. S. Ramsey, of Covington. It is
hoped that many will profit by her ad¬
mirable example.

Atlanta, Ga., April 19.—The big
movement under way to bring new in¬
dustries to Georgia is attracting atten¬

Georgia lands, particularly farming
property, is in the limelight in many

THIRTY CENT COTTON
PUT MORE MONEY
ON DEPOSIT
Atlanta, Ga., April 19.—Thrity cent
cotton must have helped Wilkes coun¬
ty after ali, according to Will W. Bru¬
ner, editor of the Washington (Ga.)
News-Reporter. It was thought there
was hut little cotton in the country
when the staple reached a war-time
price of thirty cents a few weeks ago,
hut there must have been quite a bit of
the staple sold, Mr. Bruner says, the
proceeds finding their way into the sev¬
eral banks of his county.
Anyway, as Mr. Bruner points out,
there are now on deposit in Wilkes
county more than a million and a quar¬
ter dollars when this time last year
there was less than half this amount.
"Where did the money come from?”
Mr. Bruner asks and then he says:
"Thirty cent cotton is responsible for
some of it, no doubt, and the remainder
has probably come from stockings,
trunks, corn cribs and other temporary
banks where it was deposited during
the days when the morale was weaken¬
ed and many men trusted no man. Re¬
gardless of where the money came
from, Wilkes county is in better shape
financiall than it has been in tw)
years.”
CLUB MEETING
The Woman’s Club of Hays district
held its regular meeting Wednesday
afternoon. April 11. 1923, at the home
of Mrs. W. H. Corley, in Starrsvilla.
Attendance was large, only two or
three members failing to respond to
roll call.
The meeting was called to order at
three o'clock by the president, Mrs. C.
C. Epps. Reports from the various of¬
ficers were satisfactory, and indicated
that the activities of the club were
proceeding on sound, conservative lines.
The specific work of the afternoon
was sewing for the orphans’ home. A
second quilt was completed and plans
discussed for a quilting.
Absorbing subjects for discussion at
this meeting were problems concern¬
ing the rural schools. This was a mat¬
ter of vital interest to everyone pres¬
ent, all being either mothers, teachers,
or ex-teachers; and each with a keen
realization that rural children are not
receiving their due measure of consid¬
eration and opportunity. With mothers
awake to this situation, we may confi¬
dently expect “something attempted
and something done.”
The club baby, Henry Starr Corley,
was a centre of admiring interest
throughout the afternoon, and other
interesting children present helped to
emphasize the fact that woman's club
work finds its chief sphere of useful¬
ness in the family and the home.
At the conclusion of the formal pro¬
gram, most delightful refreshments
were served by the hostess, Mrs. Cor¬
ley. Starrsville hostesses are notable
for skill and artistry in culinary mat¬
ters, and the dainty deliciousness of
the viands on this occasion only added
another to an already long list of tri¬
umphs.
The club adjourned to meet Wednes¬
day, April 25, at the home of Mrs. Hen¬
ry Adams, at Dixie.
PUBLICITY CHAIRMAN.
WITH THE OLD CONFEDERATE
VETS IN NEW ORLEANS
Editor News:—
As one of the visitors to the reunion
recently hold in New Orleans, I am ask¬
ing your indulgence in giving me’a lit¬
tle space to speak of the real reception
given us by the people of that city.
There were eight in our crowd from
this county, mostly veterans. As soon
as we arrived we soon found a place to
make our headquarters while there,
and to say we were royally received
would be expressing it mildly. There
never was a minute of our visit hut
what we came into pleasant contact
with the people, and everybody seemed
anxious to make us enjoy ourselves.
Of course, it was good to see the old
French city, the markets and take note
of the customs of some of the institu¬
tions that are today conducted more
or less on the French style, and every
place we went gave new light on things
we had heard of but not seen before.
These things spoken of while interest¬
ing did not near compare with the gen¬
uine hospitality of the ladies. As one of
our party said, he never did see so
many pretty girls in any one place lie
fore, and with their good looks coupled
with their sweet dispositions and ever
pleasant smile. To be perfectly truth¬
ful, it was a bad day for us when we
had to make our departure, and I think
one of the party has not returned yet.
The big dance given us by the ladies
is worthy of mention, and while I don’t
feel capable of doing it justice, will say
that the merriment of the occasion will
leave one of the most happy memories
of ... my travels. .... Everyone who ........— took —
vantage of the opportunity to go
expressed a desire to visit those peo¬
ple again. F. B.

[party WILL PASTURE VISIT
APRIL 20
Farmers, Dairymen and Business Men
Planning Trip to Lunsford Pasture
in Covington Next Friday.
Friday, April 20, is the date selected
for farmers, dairymen and business
men of Butts county to visit the fa¬
mous Evans Lunsford pasture at Cov¬
ington. The automobiles will leave the
court house square at 12 o’clock, cen¬
tral time, and all who can go are urged
to make their arrangements to leave
at that hour. Ladies are especially
urged to make the trip.
It is planned to take a party of at
least 200 citizens on this tour. The trip
to the Lunsford pasture is well worth
the time of any citizen, whether he is
interested in dairy farming or live
stock growing. This pasture is the best
in the South, yeilding the owner an
income of $35 per year to the acre, and
the land is worth $200 per acre. Mr.
Lunsford grows 300 pounds of beef to
the acre each year, and thus it will he
seen that his pasture is a profitable in¬
vestment.
Just now the bur clover, vetch, sweet
clover and barley is at its best. A little
later the bermuda, dallis grass, carpet
grass, orchard grass, blue grass,
Herd's grass, black medic and white
clover will be flourishing. Mr. Luns¬
ford has a year-round pasture, and he
is able to keep his pure-bred Herefords
without an ounce of feed except the
grazing afforded by his pasture.
It is an inspiration and eye-opener
for any citizen to see what Mr. Luns¬
ford has done, and it is hoped that a
large number of people will avail them¬
selves of this opportunity to inspect the
South's most famous permanent past¬
ure.—Jackson Progress-Argus.

Of your magnificent essay;

About your marriage
And praises up the blushing bride
'Till her kinfolks don't know her,
Then in due course of events
It tells about the bouncing baby
That happens in your family—
Thereby beginning its lifework
All over and over again.
The newspaper does all this
And it does also much more.
Ii tells of the progress
Made by city and county
And boosts all enterprises;

To its home town.

That all good newspapers do
For which they cannot he pqid.
That is why every citizen
Should do his darnest
To support the newspaper
In every possible way
And all the time.—Palatka (Fla.)

COVINGTON, GEORGIA
THE CITY BEAUTIFUL
Dr. Frank Crane wrote a wonderful
article about a wonderful man, named
Charles D. Norton, a banker of New
York. He tells this story of Norton’s
life:
“Norton was an Oshkosh, Wisconsin,
boy. His father was a preacher. He at¬
tended Amhurst College. After his
graduation he worked for a while with
a magazine and from this work he
went into the insurance business with
his office in Chicago. At thirty-eight
he was assistant secretary of the treas¬
ury at Washington and a year later he
took the position as secretary to Wm.
H. Taft, then president of onr United
States. After this he went to New York
as vice president of a large bank and
in the years following he was an of¬
ficer in many banking, railroad, coal
and oil companies.”
Dr. Crane then says, “None of these
things made Norton a great man,”
Then what did make him great? Norton
had a great idea and he let that idea
take possession of his mind, soul and
body. What was this great idea? It
was city planning.
Suppose every man, woman and child
would let the “Big Idea” take posses¬
sion of them to make Covington “The
City Beautiful,” how long do you think
’twould take our city “to blossom as
the rose?” How long wuld it take to
get all the unsightly, ramshacked,
buildings removed, and all the streets
cleared and all the flowers planted that
our city needs?
The writer was very busy on one oc¬
casion trying to beautify our Spring
Park. One of our “Big Citizens” came
wheeling by in his touring car, and
upon her signal, he threw his brakes
on and stopped his car. Having manv
hands at work in the park at this time,
the writer thought “Why here is
where I can get some help in our
woik.” So my first query was: “Are
you very busy for the afternoon?” “No,
I believe not.” “Well, please come down
after lunch and help me in this work
for a couple of hours.” “Who ME, work
on that park? Never for a minute for
I don’t care whether Covington ever
has a park or not.”
Oh, no! a thousand times no! The
writer was not at ail discouraged for
she saw she had his work to do, as well
as hers, so she doubled her energies
and worked on. It isn't the one man's
work that breaks a strong man or wo¬
man down, it is their doing “the other
fellows” work, that side-tracks them.
So let’s ALL pull together for our
“City Beautiful.” As a great writer has
said “Let’s all make BIG plans” for
Covington. Little plans have no magic
to stir men’s blood and little plans will
fail, when big ones get such an impe¬
tus by their greatness that they just
must succeed.
Covington must he the cleanest, the
most beautiful and the very best city
between Atlanta and Augusta. Won’t
YOU do YOUR part to make this true?
