Marie Henderson and her sister, Miss Carrie Dyer, of Coving ton died last week. They were sick only a few days. A gold mine has just been open¬ ed and work commenced with fair prospects of success about, three miles from Covington by J. T. Cor¬ ley and Woodruff. In his sermon Sunday night at the Methodist church Dr. Pierce said there was some hope for a drinker, but there w r as none here or hereafter for a willful and deliber¬ ate liar. ^ In many respects Conyers is in¬ deed a city set upon a hill, well lighted and shining for tlie benefit of the millions, but when it comes to defective and ill worked streets —well every traveler by night or day is an astronomer, that is, when he is not on his head in a ditch. The bad condition of the streets is not chargeable, of course, to the council 1 To be successful and useful in life a young man must be reasona¬ bly industrious, upright, honest, truthful and manly. The picnic at Panola last Satur¬ day was a tip-top affair. A large crowd was present, and every one had, so it is reported, a most enjoy¬ able time. A string band, led by old Joe Dobbs, of Atlanta, furnish¬ ed music for the dancers. The last but not least item of the occasion was the eatables, which was superb and in superabundance. Our pub¬ lisher, Col. Wallis, is of the opinion that Panola settlement is filled up of pretty women and lovely daugh¬ ters. Major Jack McKnight was general supervisor and did the day in seeing that each and all had a pleasant time. So Panola has ad¬ ded another flower to her brow. Mr. J. D. Winburn and Mr. John Stephenson visited in Zion church settlement last Sunday. Rev. Goss the regular paster of Zion, preached Sunday. Most of our farming friends are or will be harvesting their grain crop this week. The wheat crop is something like a fair average, but the oats are almost a total failure, except on bottom land. Mr. Jim Summers, of Orlando, Fla., spent last week and part of this in the city, visiting relatives and friends. Ira Bently, the 9 year old son of Mr. Dee Bently of Lorraine dis¬ trict, died last Wednesday night and was buried at Union church Thursday.

Therefore beware of making the first wrong step, which, in many cases, proves fatal. Vinegar at 30cts per gallon at G. P. Elliott’s. Last week Mr. G. P. Elliott trad¬ ed Iris livery stable building and lot to Mr. W. V. Almand for his blacksmith shops. Mr. Elliott now owns all the shops formerly occu¬ pied by Mr. Almand. Mr. Almand will convert the stable building in¬ to a hardware house and will run an entensive business. Judge B. F. Carr paid Coving¬ ton a visit Saturday last. There will probably be a thous¬ and cases of measles in this county all the result of the meeting spread of of the the disease from the Newton County Sunday School As¬ sociation, so says the Covington Star.

The man who was to publish a newspaper to suit everybody fell out of Noah’s ark and was drown ed. An old gentleman in Oglethorpe county has dreamed three times that he would die on the 27th of June, and he verily believes it. A negro man named Henry Mar¬ tin fell from a scaffold on the new capitol building, in Atlanta, on Friday afternoon, a distance of 80 feet and was instantly killed. He was employed as a common labor¬ er on the building, and was rolling a wheel-borrow of material on the scaffold, when it was turned over, knocking him off his balance, and causing him to fall to the ground below.
