The Covington Star dropped in¬

last issue it voiced the following
sentiment: “Good schools will
pay Covington better than new rail¬

all unoccupied houses with good
patrons and useful citizens.”

which left that place in May, 1847
under the command of Capt. Jno.
Loyal. The company was mustered
into service at Columbus, Ga., and
left there on the 20th of luly for

T3ie Entertainments
Notwithstanding the heavy rain
and disagreeable weather, there
was a large crowd at the Masonic
Hall Wednesday night to partake
of the supper prepared by the la¬
dies of the First Baptist church.
The tables profusely decorated
with flowers fruits and other deli¬
cacies were placed on the west side
of the building, each table presided
overby one, or more, beautiful and
fascinating young ladies. Indeed,
so much so, that a person never
thought about expense, but only
howto manage to keep eating so
as to enjoy their kind attention
and excellent company as long as
possible.
The supper which consisted of
oysters, fresh fish, fowl, chicken
salad, cakes of all kinds, ambrosia,
fruits and etc, was tastily and ex¬
quisitely prepared, and was served
with that grace and ease which is
possessed only by Conyers young
ladies. By way of parenthesis we
remark that there was more mate¬
rial for good wives in that hall
than we have seen bunched togeth¬
er in sometime. Music was furnished
by part of the Conyers string band,
which added much to the pleasure
of the occasion.
After a song, Col. Wommack
who was present and had, on ac¬
count of his lovely personal ap¬
pearance, made such a profound
impression on the ladies present,
was loudly called for, responding
he told one of his rich anecdotes,
and regaled those present with the
best recitation of “How Ruby play¬
ed” ever heard in Conyers,
The gross receipts were about
$75,00.
The affair was well managed and
the crowd was orderly and well be¬
haved. Besides being all in all a
grand success, the occasion was
one of social enjoyment for all.
