Pictured above is Newton County’s courthouse,
erected in 1884. The oid clock, placed in the tower at
the time the courthouse was built, still keeps accurate time,
despite the fact that very little money has been spent
for actual upkeep. The above picture was made in 1915,
and shows the old horse-drawn trolley which operated be
tween Covington and Oxford.

VVhen twilight darkens into night
I sit and wait the old clock light.
The toll and pendulum tell the
hour
On the four brass faces on the
courthouse tower.
The gleaming lights dispel the
gloom
Of weary workers, going home.
Yes—it is nice to live in a little
town, we seem so close together,
we have time to notice the lanky
spires of the hollyhock in our
neighbors garden, see the chil
dren swinging on the squeaking
garden gate, hear the thrush early
in the morning and the soft call
of the whippoorwill as he calls
mournfully for his mate irr the
cool of the evening. A little town
dweller sees picnickers as they
trudge to the country, the basket
and baseball games that challenge
old and young, the “Boosters”
games that are played by the fat,
and lean men of town, while their
wives cheer from the sidelines.
Yes—many things that a little
town loves are never noticed in a
city. Everyone is invited to the
Baptist church supper, the Metho
dist picnic, and the Presbyterian
spend-the-day. These are the
things that a little town dreams
—quiet and peace. Friends that
know us and are steadfast—love
that endures—work fox the hands
and a home, to plant gardens and
flowers, yes, the human touch is
loved and known in a little town.
Things seem nearer and dearer,
because we know and are known
by our neighbors. Yes—in a little
town!
The softened winds adore thee,
The blue clouds bend above thee,
The native birds on pinions are
winging to thy door,
The stately live oaks over
Have silken moss as cover
And music from the pine woods
sing forever more.
In thy famed and rose-filled
GENEVA MYERS.
Bob Burns at
Avoondale Show
Thursday and Friday brings to
the Avondale, “The Arkansas Trav
eler,” with Bob Burns in a real
down-to-earth character ably sup
ported by John Beal. Jean Parker
and Fay Bainter. You will enjoy
this picture for its dry wit and
homey every day living.
The double feature program Sat
urday is composed of “Painted Des
ert" with George O'Brien and
“Tenth Avenue Kid.” with Bruce
Cabot and Tommy Ryan.
“Rosalie,” a delightful musical
romance with the golden voiced
Nelson Eddy playing the romantic
lead opposite the queen of tap
Eleanor Powell, will be the attrac
tion for Monday, Tuesday and Wed
nesday. In addition to these twe
great stars there will be an all-star
comedy group including Frank Mor
gan. Edna Mae Oliver. Billy Gilbert
and Ray Bolger. For a truly en
joyable evening see this outstand
ing entertainment production
“Rosalie.”
All things are not even. It's eas
ier to start a fight than it is to
stop one.
A row producing four eallons of
milk a day needs 16 to 20 gallons
of water.
Memories crowd too dear for
words,
Church bells ringing
Swell the singing
Of gold-throated mockingbirds.
V
The moonbeam’s ray discloses
A garden drunk with roses,
I hear a darky singing, swinging
homeward glad and free,
Thy rich beauties so enchanted
Stress dear things we take for
granted call and
As thy lure of beauty
beckon me.
In the tender witching Southland,
contentment needs no words,
Church bells ringing,
Swell the singing
Of gold-throated mockingbirds.
Chevrolet Sells
More Automobdes
Georgia's automotive registration
figures for the year 1938, made pub
lic today, show Chevrolet in first
place in the state, as in the country
at large.
Chevrolet, the figures reveal, reg
istered 8,869 passenger cars and
trucks in Georgia in 1938. This rep
resents 37.9 per cent of the state’s
total passenger car registrations in
the low-price group, and 37 per cent
of the truck registrations in Chev
rolet’s weight- classification.
This showing in 1938 gives Chev
rolet leadership in five out of the
past eight years for passenger car
sales to Georgia.
