The summer season of Home
comings and protracted meetings
held at the various churches, is
over, The Covington NEWS has
been most generous in the cover
age that it has given to these
items. Its correspondents and
reporters have taken the neces
sary time to write them up and
its photographers have many
pictures of persons and groups
which the NEWS has carried in
large space that might have been
given to advertising matter. This
has been of interest to the read
ers and its has added much to
the value of the papers.
The old papers which I knew
did not carry pictures. The first
was the Covington Star printed
in the Star building. It was own
ed and operated by J. W. Ander- I
son and the type was set by hand. ,
The second was founded and
owned by Mr. Charles G. Smith.
He came from Greenville, Ga.,
two years to Emory College, then i
dropped out and founded the '
Enterprise. Its type was set by |
hand also and no pictures ever
appeared in its columns. Then
came Covington NEWS founded
by Leon Flowers and Edwin Tay
lor. local men. They bought and
installed type setting machines. I
thus in away modernizing their i
printing plant. However, the I
paper was not made to serve all I
of the people of the county until j
.it was purchased by Mr. Dennis,
the present owner.
Speaking of protracted meet
ings. I never hear of any in those
early days, say fifty years ago.
The members of the Loganville
Methodist Church wanted to build
a new church building so they i

. WHY
do w* have "Formal" worship?
We don’t think of our worship services and cus
toms in the Episcopal Church as necessarily "formal.”
We feel that if all are to participate in worship
together, it is necessary to follow a plan. More than
three-fourths of all the Christians in the world wor
ship according to a pattern.
W« look upon our services as having great dignity
and reverence, arranged so that instead of sitting back
and taking no part in the service, we can join with
our minister and fellow-worshipets tn an outpouring
of praise and thanksgiving to God for His goodness
and mercy to its. The Episcopal Church is "altar
cantered." Worship is primary. All else—preaching,
mucic, scripture lessons, important though they be,
a« secondary to the praise and worship of Almighty
God on Sundays.
W this is what worship of God means to you, we
invite you to join us, today, in actively worshipping
God in the Episcopal Church near you.

• । conceived the idea of getting the
s i Reverend Sam Jones of Carters
sjville, noted Exangelist. to come
5 | and conduct a revival of ten days
duration and in the meantime .
, j raise funds toward the erection [
I of a new building. He had a
daughter and her husband living
। there at that time. The husband
was a cotton buyer and in order
|to help him the invitation was
i accepted. The services were held,
; the money was eventually raised
I and the new building which
| stands today was built. I was
teaching at the old Flint Hill 1
School and in company with Mr. |
Berry George and had the plea- I
I sure of attending the services one !
■ weekend. We were guests in the I
I home of the Floyd family there. '
I A member of this family later j
moved to Oxford and became one [
l of the towns most useful citi- ।
zens.
The word Protracted, used in I
such connection, has been chang
-1 ed to “revival’’ and most church
j es used the period in which to se
l cure new members, thereby in
creasing the membership of the
church. These new members usu
ally coming from the homes of
i those who are already members.
Recently I heard this account ,
! of a nearby revival. The preach
■ ing had been successful, a num
j ber of new members had been
'added to the church roll. The
minister had been entertained in
the various homes where he had
been feasted on fried chicken,
i hot biscuits, cake and pies, and
at the end of the “revival,” he
announced that he believed that
there were others in the com
munity who would join the
! church if the meeting was con
| tinued another week. Now this
| was in the summer season when
farm women do their vegetable
canning. Instantly an old lady
whose berries and vegetables
j were ripe for canning rose in her
seat and said: “This meeting has

My roving these past few weeks '
has taken me all over Newton |
and Rockdale Counties, and I’ve ।
j enjoyed every bit of it, but it
was good to get down Mansfield
j way this last week in my home
I territory.
Found Mrs. Usher Smith's
home spicy with the making of I
! green tomato pickles. She gave
me a jar to take home, and I'm
planning to rove back that way
before very long; Mrs. Smith
left for Atlanta Sunday afternoon
to spend several days with her
daughter. Mrs. Henry Peek.
Mrs. E. O. Aiken stayed a few j
days last week with her sister,
Mrs. Love Bohanon, out on Jack- '
son Highway.
| Mrs. Harold Adams told me
I about the good time she had ac- I
I companying the seventh and I
' eighth grades of Mansfield School
! to the Shrine Circus in Atlanta '
j last Saturday. Others who went i
| were Mr. Lowell Alexander, Mrs. [
I Harold Robertson, Mrs. Bernarr
! Adams, and Mrs. Lucius Harwell.
Airman Second Class Edd
I Adams, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Harold Adams, was home for the
weekend. Wish I might have |
seen him — he's one of my favor
ite young people.
The Mansfield Methodist pas
tor and his wife, Rev. and Mrs.
Bob Kerr, were dinner guests of
the Fred Adams family last Sun
day.
All Mansfield is delighted that
Mrs. Melba Spears has taken over
the leadership of the Girl Scout
troop, which is under the spon
sorship of the Mansfield Garden
Club. The Brownie Scouts are
fortunate to have Mrs. Betty j
Spears and Mrs. Peggy Spears
for their leaders, and the Mans
field P. T. A. as their sponsor.
Both the Girl Scouts and th,e
Brownies are in the middle of
an exciting project — furnishing
a hut donated to them for their
exclusive use by Jack and Ralph
Spears. Mrs. C. R. Goodrich has
given a stove, each girl is furn
ishing her own chair, and Mans
field folks are being asked to I
look in their attics for good used
furniture to donate. Good luck
to you, Mansfield Scouts!
Enjoyed a visit with Mrs
Henry Adams at Dixie. Her Sun
day afternoon guests had been
Miss Mellie Pitts and Mrs. C. B.
Childs from Newborn. Mrs.
Adams spent Monday seeing the
Veterans’ Day Parade, visiting
friends in Covington, and finally
‘ ended up enjoying the auction
lout at the Tri-County Sale Barn!
Traveled on down to Rockdale
county, and found Mrs. Leia Car
roll out in her yard raking and
burning leaves, but she stopped
■ long enough to buy a Ruralite
’ policy. What is there so haunt
| ingly nostalgic about the smell
I of burning leaves in the fall?
Mr. and Mrs. Grier James were
enjoying sitting around their
wood fire, and I rocked wrth
them a little while. As I left Mr.
James walked out on the porch
I with me, and we had quite a
; discussion on the Republicans
and the farm situation. We were
in complete agreement!
As those shopping days till ।
Christmas become fewer, we
w ould do well to remember that
the accident rate increases a-
I larmingly during the holiday
season. Everybody should be cov
ered by an accident policy — why
not give Ruralite for Christmas
gifts? It would help solve your
•hopping problem, and would i
certainly be appreciated by the
recipient.

Knock, knock, may I come
in? No thank you I wouldn’t
1 care for a cup of coffee, but
would just like to sit and chat
a minute.
The attendance at church ser
vices were real good and hope j
you will continue to attend the
church of your choice. Thanks

many other governments. So let
us take a moment from our
pleasures on this Thanksgiving
I and give thanks for our own
country; our way of living and
। the many everyday blessings we
receive.
