All of us believe in the old
• ■•(age that recommends: “Honor
io whom honor, credit to whom
credit, praise to whom praise,”
Jesus himself was the author of
the thought when he said “Ren
der unto Ceasar the things that
are Ceasar’s and unto God the
things that are God’s.”
So when we see a job well
done we should render credit or
praise to the doer. I have touch
ed on this before, but I wish to
do it again. As I looked through
the Covington NEWS the other
day, I was struck with the
thought of what a full complete
paper it is. Besides his own
editorials, and the “Chatterbox”
column, written up each week
by his wife, Mr. Dennis carries
just about everything that would
he of interest to an honest read
er. For instance, there is the
Sunday School Lesson, and “Life
Can Be Better” by Rev. Robert
Ozment, for our spirtual needs,
and for those who enjoy poetry
there is Mamie Ozburn" Odum’s
' Bits of Southern Sunshine.” We
have school news for children,
society news for those interested
in that phase of life. Sports
news for those who love sports

and for those who like to turn
back the page of time, we have
jJ. O. Martin's “Newton Memo
ries.” The "Ruralite Reporter”
' sends in her experiences along
i the road, and from just about
j every community we have a re
porter. Then there are the ads,
all of us at sometime—or may
be all time—love to look over
the ads. For in them we find
how and where we can get the
: most for our money. I could go
on naming feature after feature
but there is one, that must not
be overlooked and that is “Nu
trition in our Daily Life,”- by
Lucia Wolfe. There was a time
when I overlooked this column,
but no more. It is important that
we learn all we can about “how"
and "What” to eat. For the way
we eat and the things we eat
have much to do with our heal
th and next to spiritual health
comes physical health. Both are
neglected by many of us If we
neglect to feed on the word of
God our souls will perish in the
end and on the other hand if
we neglect the importance of
getting a well balanced diet, we
become diseased and may there
by bring bad health and even
tually death upon ourselves
sooner than we would have had
we eaten right. It has been said:
“We dig our graves with our
teeth so let's not be guilty of
that, let us preserve and pro
long the life God gave us bv
keeping the laws of health. Okay?

Beautiful is a totally inade

this reporters privilege to see
Saturday November 24. The first
wedding that I attended on that

First Alliance Church and it was
that of Miss Beverly Joan Mer

bride was lovely in her wedding
dress of white lace and Duchess
satin, trimmed in seed pearls.
The long train of her dress added
dignity to the beauty of her cos
tume. Her only ornament was a
diamond necklace, the gift of the
groom. This young couple has a
host of friends and relatives here
in Newton County who are wish'-
ing them much happiness. The
bride is a former Newton County
resident: she is the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. John H. Merritt,
