circle. May they have a joyful and healthy time during their absences from home 
and loved ones.

STRAY LOCAL SPLINTERS, EVERYTHING AND EVERYBODY

~LIVINGSTON must be returned.

~Our Public Schools will open on Monday, August 18th.

~Our editor caught a carp in the shoals at Porterdale Friday that weighed 14 ˝ 
pounds.

~A democratic club is being organized here. Let every other district do the 
same.

~Let everybody bring a well filled lunch basket to the re-union of the 42nd 
Georgia, Friday, July 22.

~Patriotic addresses, fine dinner, sweet music, and a good time generally may 
be expected at the re-union of the 42nd Friday. Bring a well filled lunch 
basket.

~Fulton County is not acting fair by rushing its Congressional primary through 
before Col. LIVINGSTON can secure a hearing.

~Sewing machines at Cost! We have 5 Sewing Machines to sell at cost. We also 
have 300 cords Pine wood for sale, which we can deliver on short notices. LEE & 
PEEK.

~At this writing, Wednesday, it appears as if the Peoples’ Party convention, 
now in session in Atlanta, will nominate Hon. W. L. Peek for Governor. He wants 
the office worse and has less capacity to fill it than any man in Georgia.

~Every Democrat in the county should attend the mass meeting in Covington on 
the first Tuesday in August. Hon. L. F. LIVNGSTON, W. H. HULSEY and GEORGE 
HILLYER, candidates for Congress, have been invited by the chairman of the 
county executive committee to be present and address the people.

~Messrs. John F. VINING and W. T. SMITH, of Porterdale, are determined that we 
shall have plenty of fishing lines and a new cast net, for on Saturday last 
they presented us with a large bundle of the celebrated Porterdale twine, which 
is the best and strongest thread in the world for any and all purposes. May 
these worthy and kind hearted gentlemen live long and always be healthy and 
happy.

WISE AND OTHERWISE

~The Cotulla Texas Times says the Georgia Weekly Press Association reached 
Dallas Friday, and adds, “Col. J. W. ANDERSON editor of the Covington Star, one 
of the oldest and ablest Weeklies in Georgia, is a prominent Veteran Journalist 
in the party, and his son, Mr. William M. ANDERSON a finished typo, and 
prepossessing young gentleman, who has been spending a few days with his old 
schoolmate, Mr. Paul E. MONTGOMERY, late Editor of the Ledger here, will join 
the father at Fort Worth, where he will accompany the party back to Georgia, 
bidding farewell to the Lone Star State.”

~Mr. John M. JAMES, of Douglas County, has this kind word to say of our friend 
and Congressman: “I am elected as a delegate for LIVINGSTON that grand old 
vindicator of Democracy. He is today doing more genuine good for the cause of 
the democratic party than any man in our district. He has been censured by many 
as daddy of the third party. I am one who does not believe one scintilla of it. 
He said, when elected two years ago, that he would stand by the democratic 
party, and he has done so with unfaltering courage, and I defy any one to  
prove the contrary. I shall vote for him till the last hour in the day. It is a 
duty we owe him back. If nominated he will sweep the district a cleaner sweep 
than any man we could possibly run.”
