H. F. Meadors Adds Complete
Laundry Equipment
To His Plant.
A model steam laundry, home
owned and operated for the con
venience and benefit of local peo
ple has joined the ranks of Coving
ton business enterprises, in a new
department that has been added
to the H. F. Meadors dry cleaning
establishment.
An addition has been made to
the building and new and modern
equipment installed which ,accord
ing to Mr. Meadors, will place him
in position to provide a service
equal to that of any city establish
ment and superior to many.
A twenty four hour service has
been instituted and a pick-up and
delivery system, with a scale of
prices which are in line with the
lowest any where.
They are providing every form
of cleaning, including wet washes,
rough dried lots, and complete
laundering.
The support of the new project
will have the effect of keeping at
home many dollars which have
heretofore been leaving Coving

James B. Allen, who resides in

was a ----
roadside above Oxford last Wed
nesday evening suffering from
severe lacerations on his hand and
head, and a wound which extend
ed through his right eye and tem
ple, evidently inflicted by some
sharp instrument.
He was taken by Carl Butler,
who was among the group who
found him, to the Huson hospital,
where he remained in an uncon
scious state for several days,
At the beginning of this week
he recovered his mental balance,
but has since declined to explain
the circumstances surrounding
h - hurts or to giV e the name of
his assailant.
Some time ago he was attack
ed at his home by people who, it
was said, were bent on robbery.
It was learned that he had the
habit of keeping his money on his
own premises. latest
A day or two before this
attack he was said to have sold
a mule and wagon for eighty dol
lars and was thought to have had
the money on his person.
The opinion has been express
ed that his refusal to this time to
divulge the identity of his assail
ants is due to threats made on
his life.
Local officers are at work on
the case.

Paralysis
Appears in County
Infantile paralysis, the dread
whose major victims are
children, and which has
appearing in epidemic form
in various sections of the coun
try, claimed its first known vic
tim in Newton couny in a num
ber of years when a lovable little
Newton county girl was attacked
and succumbed to it during the
past week.
Authorities claim that the risk
of contagion is confined to actual
contact with one so afflicted dur
ing the period of the disease in
its virulent stages, and for that
reason no alarm is felt here of
an outbreak of the disease in epi
demic form.
Parents, however, should exer
cise caution in restricting visits
between their children and neigh
borhood friends where sickness
exists, unless the type of
is fully understood.
