The Georgia Enterprise May 12, 1892
SOMEWHAT PERSONAL

~Hon. L. L. MIDDLEBROOK was called to Monroe on legal business Monday.

~Miss Boyd OGLETREE, a charming Conyers beauty, has been on a visit to Miss 
Jackie STEPHENSON.

~Messrs. James A. FARMER and John TAYLOR spent several days of this week very 
pleasantly in Savannah.

~Miss Leilie LEWIS, a cultured and very fascinating young lady from Greensboro, 
is visiting Covington, as the guest of Mrs. A. B. SIMMS and Miss Tinie JONES.

~Mr. and Mrs. J. J. CORLEY’S youngest child has been seriously sick for several 
days. We hope this precious child will soon be restored to perfect health again.

~Mrs. Clara AYERS, nee Miss HENRY, and her husband, from Troup, Texas, are 
visiting Covington, as the guests of her sister, Mrs. George D. BUTLER. Both 
are looking exceedingly well.

~Some of the many friends of Mr. Alfred N. HAYS, have solicited him to enter 
the race for the legislature. He is a clear-headed, warm-hearted gentleman and 
would make a safe representative in the house.

~Rev. O. F. FLIPPO, of Virginia, delegate in the Southern Baptist Convention, 
preached an able and interesting sermon at the Baptist Church in Covington, 
Sunday morning last. While here he was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. W. B. LEE.

~It is almost a certainty that Mr. James H. RICHARDS will be a candidate for 
the legislature. He is a man of judgment and ability and has always been in 
touch and sympathy with the working people. He has ever been a Democrat and has 
labored for the success of the party in every election since his majority.

~Mr. Joseph L. GUINN left for Columbia, S. C., on Monday to travel for the 
Columbia Candy Company. He is one of our best young men, is honorable, 
industrious and pious. He goes to his new field with the good wishes of his 
many friends in Newton County. His merchantile business in Covington will be 
looked after by his father, Hon. T. B. GUINN.

WISE AND OTHERWISE

~Hon. Boykin WRIGHT, solicitor general of the Augusta circuit, who is one of 
the most brilliant and successful lawyers in Georgia, spent Sunday in 
Covington. Hon. Robert WRIGHT, assistant keeper of the state penitentiary, was 
also here. Both are sons of Mr. and Mrs. FRANKLIN WRIGHT, who are justly proud 
of their dear “boys’ who left the old home and went forth in the busy world to 
win fame and fortune by honest methods and fair means. Continued success to 
these friends, whom we have known and appreciated from their early youth to 
this good time.

~The Macon Telegraph says: “Mr. Frank C. DAVIS, candidate for state 
commissioner of agriculture has a novel way of advertising his candidacy. He 
sends out postal cards with his picture printed thereon, by A. H. S. DAVIS, 
artist.” The Fort Valley, Houston County correspondent of the same paper, 
writes: “Today Mr. F. C. DAVIS, of Newton County, who is a candidate for 
commissioner or agriculture against three cents a pound cotton NESBITT, was 
mingling with the people and farmers of this county and made a favorable 
impression upon the people. The people say further that Mr. NESBITT inspected 
fertilizers in the same manner that his clever predecessor, J. T. HENDERSON, 
did, on which report he was defeated.”
