Welcome
Neighbor!
M. S. M.
"If from cherished child
hood scenes
Fate and fortune have
brought you here.
And your heart still home
ward leans;
Remember — New friends
with time grow dear.
Your joys, your sorrows are
of ours a part,
So, help us to know you
that we may share
This experience of L.fe,
with open heart;
Welcome Neighbor! We’re
glad you are here.”
There is an extra note of hap
piness in the “Welcome Neigh
bor” we extend to newcomers
who find Newton County has that
“certain something” that gives
it “Hame and Family” appeal!
Quite often we are told that,
“After searching for awhile, we
found this to be the place we’d
most like to live and rear our
family in”. And that, of course,
is extremely good listening to
local residents!
Such was the case with Mr.
and Mrs. C. H. King and daugh
ters, Lynne 12, Ellen 10 and
Sarah 8, who recently arrived
from Milledgeville to occupy th
eir new home in Deerfield Es
tates.
Mrs. King, a Johnson County
native, finds sewing her most
interesting labor of love in home
making; and enjoys bowling and
the family’s mutual recreation,
water sports. Mr. King, a bus
iness manager of State Institut
ions of Georgia, with headquart
ers in Atlanta, shares his fam
ily’s interest in water sports,
especially fishing and boating;
and names baseball as one of his
hobbies. He claims Jasper Cou
nty as his native home.
We are indebted to Oxford Col
lege for Lt. Col. and Mrs. Roger
D. Harrington’s choice of Cov
ington as their future home.
They, with their family, Tom 17,
Jan 15, and Lisa 11, have recent
ly arrived from Germany where
Col. Harrington has been stat
ioned for the past three years
with the U. S. Air Force; and
now reside at 5315 David Circle,
S. E. Tom will enroll as a
freshman at Oxford College in
the fall.
