The Georgia Enterprise
     On Wednesday last, someone entered the room of Mr. A. E. Worsham and stole 
his gold watch, seventeen dollars in money, a pair of pants and a coat and 
vest. Mr. Worsham boards at the Flowers Hotel and was staying with his parents 
at Midway, the night of the burglary.
     This makes the fourth burglary that has occurred around here in the past 
three weeks. It will be remembered that someone entered the homes of Messrs. C. 
J. Geiger, J. E. Robinson, J. M. Allen but a short while ago and stole a good 
deal from them. It has not been more than three weeks ago from the time the 
house of Mr. Geiger was entered. It seems to indicate that there is a body of 
men who are making a practice of entering houses here in Covington.
     This ought to be stopped and Mr. Worsham is doing his part to catch the 
guilty party or parties. He has instructed us to say that he will give $25.00 
reward for the conviction of the parties.
     The watch that was stolen is a large gold watch, enameled on one side, 
while the other is raised work and has an engine on it. The watch is very fine 
and one of the best in town.
     Let everybody keep a strict lookout for the guilty parties and help to 
bring them to justice.
