C. Howard Nash Is Victim of Early
i Morning Fire in Apartment House
A tragic pre-dawn fire which i
destroyed the Dobbs Apart-
I ments on Conyers Street, claim- ) ,
J ed the life of Charles Howard I
i Nash, esteemed Covington res
; ident, on Friday morning. Fu
neral services for the victim
were held Sunday afternoon
in Harwell’s Chapel, with Rev.
Grady Lively, assisted by Rev.
Warren Roberts, officiating.
Burial was in Covington City i
| Cemetery.
Mr. Nash, who had made his ।
I home with his sister and fam
j ily, Mr. and Mrs. Usher T.
Smith and mother, Mrs. Vallie
Aiken, in Mansfield after his
wife's death a few years ago, j
had moved into the apartments
only four months ago. A native
Newton Countian. Mr. Nash, 1
66, was the son of the late Wil- ,
liain Clarence and Mrs. Vallie
Pickett Na^h. ;
The fire was discovered
around 2:00 a.m., when other 1
occupants of the apartments ;
were aroused by smoke, to
find the building in flames. Dr. ,
W. L. Dobbs, owner, said the -
recently renovated structure:
was valued at about $25,000: :
and was partially covered by ■
insurance. Sheriff John Berry,
Deputy E. C. Beckham, and
local Civil Defense Rescue
teams were on the scene, and j
assisted in efforts to search the
building for possible trapped ,
occupants. However, because
of the flames, a thorough I
search was impossible until the
conflagration was brought un- \'
der control: and the victim's)'
body was recovered from de
bris about 9:30 a.m. A ciga-',
rette which ignited a mattress
in a downstairs apartment was
thought to have been the cause
of the fire.
Positive identification was
made by the victim's dentist,
and his wedding ring, identifi
ied by his brother-in-law, U.
T. Smith. The remaining oc-
I cupants of the building were
able to escape without injury.

If you're like most of ws, you've given up the idea of being
। a, _। tbe richest man in town. But, chances are, you're still
y I interested in how you can get the things you need for your-
I /0 J and your family. It may be easier that you think. □ln
your lifetime, you’ll probably borrow more money than you’ll
save. (Most people do.) □ A suggestion to the wise is this:
Borrow where you pay a low rate of interest. And that's here at our Bank,
where rates are traditionally lower. Get a Bank Rate Loan to reduce the
cost of borrowing. 0 One of the many services at our Full Service Bank.

License Plates
On Sale Here
The first three-day sale of
vehicle license plates in New
ton County was somewhat
above that of last year, accord
ing to Bonham L. Johnson, Tax
Collector, at whose office the
1964 plates are now on sale,
Mr. Johnson said that Thurs-
' day through Saturday saw 693
automobile and truck owners
purchase tags despite the snow
and icy streets of Covington.
Last year the four-day period
following New Years Day,
there were slightly over 700
tags sold, Mr. Johnson said.
In 1963 more than 9,000 tags
were issued in the county. The
deadline for purchase of the
new tag is April 1, 1964. Mr.
Johnson has a word of caution
for vehicle owners who invari
ably wait until the last minute.
“We had some long lines last
March as the deadline neared;
we hope it won’t happen again
' this year,” he stated.
