Georgia Enterprise January 22, 1891
     The citizens of Covington held a public meeting at the court house on the 
evening of Jan. 14, for the purpose of nominating a Mayor and six Councilmen, 
and one Commissioner for the City School Board. Hon. Edward Heard was called to 
the chair, and S. W. Hawkins requested to act as secretary. Hon. J. M. Pace, 
present Mayor, gave a statement of the financial condition of the city which 
was very encouraging. The outgoing administration will leave about $1,800 in 
the treasury, with no outstanding indebtedness. Hon. Emmett Womack placed Major 
Pace in nominating to succeed himself as Mayor. There was no other nominations 
and he was chosen by a rising vote unanimously. Quite a number of gentlemen 
were balloted for as Councilmen and the final result showed that the following 
six were the nominees to wit: 
Messrs. 
J. S. Carroll 
J. T. Cook 
J. P. Simms 
T. C. Swann 
W. R. Ingram  
R. H. Thompson. 
     These gentlemen have the welfare of the city at heart, are live and 
progressive, and will discharge their duties well and faithfully. Hon. James G. 
Lester was nominated to serve on the public school board for a term of six 
years, and was chosen without opposition by a unanimous vote. He will make a 
most excellent member of that body. The election came off Monday and all the 
nominees were elected without any opposition.
