had been working for the

lorn in town, and had the
assurance that everybody would
assist in the entertainment of the
Veterans when the Children of the
Confederacy extended the invita
tion, and made the motion that the
U. D. C. as a body back the Children
of the Confederacy in entertaining
them if Urey accepted the invitation
to come to Covington. The motion
was unanimously carried. However,
officials seem to think it not advis
able for the veterans to leave the
.sleamheated home and spend a
night elsewhere without their
nurses, etc. They stated that if the
reunion was held outside the home
some of the veterans were too feeble
to come and would miss it. Cov
ington stands ready to entertain
them and the invitation is extended
because we want them, but if they
cannot come the State will go to
this precious fading line of Grey
at the home and join them in cel

The meeting was closed with

There is a waiting time between

Before the elms are filled with blue
Of flashing blue-wings shirring

Before we find the first bright

HISTORY OF COVINGTON
GARDEN CLUB
The re-organization of the Gar
den Club of Covington was an out
growth of years of interest in flow
ers and civic pride. Citizens of Cov
ington have always loved their
homes and naturally their town,
and have ever been interested in
keeping both at their best.
In the 1890’s (eighteen nineties!
the ladies of Covington were stag
ing chrysanthemum shows. Later
the idea of park beautification was
manifested in the building of a
pavilion at the Academy Spring
park on the sight of the old
Academy.
Over the stream rustic bridges
were built.
A gardener’s club, known as
“City Beautiful” was organized in
the early nineteen hundreds, but
functioned only a short time. In
the early 1920 s we find committees
from the Woman's club planting
shrubs and perennials around the
depots and the P. T A. encourag
ing children to bring flowers and
THE COVINGTON NEWS
' Georgia's Constitution lias be
come inadequate, cumbersome and
out-of-date so far as meeting Geo.
gia's present needs,” stated Profes
sor Harwell in observation of Gem
gia Day.
He divided the Constitutions a'
to whether or not they came be
tore or after the War Between the
Stales and pointed out that the ear
ly ones were largely formulated by
the aristocratic element of the state
and to a large exten favored that
element of the population. Profes
sor Harwell emphasized the import
a nee of the rivalry between the
Piedmont Settlers and the original
Coastal Settlers in the formulation
of the last Constitutions before the
War Between the States. Real de
mocracy was to be first included
in those constitutions which cairn
niter the War Between the State?
Professor Harwell In pointing out
some of the reasons for the inadc
quacy of the present constitution
stated, “There have been so many
amendments that it is hard to ever
recognize the constitution itself. It
is like the pair of pants that has
been patched so many times that
identity as to original color and
form has been lost.”
He stated that he believed that
the backwardness of the state in
many respects can be attributed to
the backward constitution undei
which we operate.
A salad course was served by the
committee, composed of Mrs.
Thornley. Mrs. R. M. Sealey, Mrs.
W. T. Thomas. Mrs. Will Heard and
Mrs. Walker Combs.

Misses Vivian and Florence were
elected as new members. Resolu
tions of regret were passed on the
death of Mrs. Belle Knox Rogers
former member of the Covington
Chapter.
Mrs. R. H. Patterson was intro
duced by Mrs. C. A. Sockwell, who
gave a brief history on Colonial His
torv of Georgia. This being the
month of Washington's Birthday,
she also gave an interesting descrip
tion of “Kemhore,” in Fredricks
burg. Va., the home of Mrs, Field
ing Lewis, the former Betty Wash
ington, and sister of George Wash
ington. Mrs. W. K. Lunsford sang
“The Old Refrain.” with Miss Flet
cher Lou Lunsford as accompanist,
An informal reception was held
following the meeting. The decora
tlons carried out the Washington
motif, using the red. white and blue
color scheme. The table in the din
ing room was centered with a low

GOD MADE A GARDEN
God made a garden here below
Transcending all In evening's glow.
God made a garden for homey
throne
Where man might sometime walk
alone.
In His all-wise plan of life He
knew
There must be work for man to do.
For an idle brain will evil find
So He made a garden for mankind
Where health is wrested from the
sod.
And a place to walk alone with God
