The Georgia Enterprise February 23, 1888
     A bold burglary was committed at the residence of Mr. James Wright, in 
Covington, last Saturday night. Dr. J. A. Wright lost his fine watch, an 
elegant ring and about $70.00 in money. Mr. J. T. Wright was relieved of his 
watch and several dollars in hard cash, while Mr. H. S. Hammond lost his gold 
watch, a valuable ring and some money. Lights were burning in all the rooms and 
the thief must have took his time as the watches were detached from their 
chains and not a cent of money was left in any of the pockets. All the clothes 
were found in the hall Sunday morning. It is supposed that the thief entered by 
the back door, which was unlocked, and left by going out of the front door. As 
yet no arrests have been made and suspicion points to no particular party or 
parties. We sympathize with our friends in the unfortunate loss they have 
sustained at the hands of a midnight thief.
