The Georgia Enterprise March 21, 1889
~Miss Inez Johnson has moved from Newton County to Sanford, Fla.

~Mr. Elisha Elliott is foreman of the grand jury with Mr. G. M. T. Bower as 
secretary.

~Doctor Nolen, our worthy Coroner, says there is no sickness of importance in 
the lower part of the county.

~Col. Spearman, Constable Phillips and Merchant Shepherd, of Social Circle, 
spent Tuesday here.

~Sam Small is one of the most fascinating speakers of the age. Music Hall 
Thursday night, 21st.

~Mr. Charles E. Bowden, of Griffin, has moved to Newton County, and will 
probably make his home in Covington.

~Rev. J. M. Owens, of Acworth, has been on a visit to friends here this week. 
He was looking exceedingly well and has been, and is yet doing good and 
faithful service for the church and for the Master.

~Hon. T. J. Speer, our worthy representative in the legislature, spent a day or 
two of this week shaking hands with his many friends here. During his sojourn 
in town he was the guest of his daughter Mrs. Lee Adams.

~Rev. Sam W. Small will deliver a public lecture at Music Hall, Thursday night, 
March 21st, Subject:
“From the Bar Room to the Pulpit.” One half of the proceeds will be given to 
the Parsonage committee.

~Our Mayor has treated himself to a new suit of tailor made clothes. He also 
has new hat, shoes, socks, etc. High license, strict regulations, street 
railroad, iron bridge, public schools and a Mayor with a new suit of clothes is 
not found in every town in Georgia the size of ours. Slowly, but surely, 
Covington is “getting there.”

~Miss Tott, the little three year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Heard, 
has been near death’s door all of this week, and while there is now some hope 
of her recovery she is yet in a critical condition. May the Master spare little 
Tott to her devoted parents for many years to come. The sympathy of his entire 
community is with Mr. and Mrs. Heard during the sickness of their darling child.

~His Honor, Judge Boynton, presided in Washington County Superior court last 
week, but was promptly on hand at Newton Court Monday. His charge here to the 
grand jury was more elaborate and pointed than usual. Few, if any, better 
superior court Judges can be found anywhere than is this able jurist and 
deservedly popular man. It is always a pleasure to converse with the Judge for 
he is social, jovial and well informed on all live questions.

~Tax Collector A. H. S. Davis is proving himself to be a public benefactor 
during his leisure moments. Monday night we visited Music Hall to see his 
writing school class, numbering some 30 scholars or more. Young men, boys and 
married men were at their desks learning this most desirable and useful art. 
Mr. Davis turns no worthy person from his door, but generously gives his time 
and attention to all who apply. He is one of the finest penmen in the land and 
deserves to be encouraged and patronized by the public.
