be a week before they would be II

hotel will be hurried. Considering
the way In which all accommodation

that such a venture would be a sue

NEW COVINGTON.

We took a ride through New
Covington last week with Mr.. F..
b. Martindale and were taken
the length and breadth of the tract.
Everywhere we went were evidences
of improvements, new houses being
built In all directions, and MI.
Martlndale informs us that many
more would have been built, but
for the difficulty of procuring
building material. We are salts
fed that nowhere in Louisiana is
there a locality of the same dimen-
sions of New Covington that pre-
sents SO many beautiful views and
charming bits of landscape. The
lines of the tract run along for two
miles to the Tchefuncta river, be-
low the bark landing, then across
the neck of land adjoining the Old
Landing, until it strikes the Bogue
Falia river.
We who have lived here so many
years have become so accustomed
to our surroundings that we lose
all appreciation of the beautiful
scenery that we live amongst.
MI. Martindale is selling great
number of lots and squares, as hi
told US, which was evidenced by
the improvements TO be seen in al
directions. 1t will not be long be-
foresit will be impossible to locate
a desirable home on that tract
Two-thirds of the land in New
CovlLgton is within one mile o:
the Courthouse, and the balance II
moi over II miles distant.
We look IN the near future to SCI
New and Old Covington to b.
one Of the most beautiful towns
in Louisiana.

called upon to deplore the loss OF
Major Geneal George Moorman,
Adiutant General and Chief of
Staff of the United Confederate
Veterans.
1t is for us not only to share in
the common sorrow, but to lament
the loss Of a member of our camp,
who was also its founder and most
jealous comrade,
10 HIM the Lost Cause was the
most sacred memory of his lite,
and that its honor might be vihdl-
Gated and heroic deeds p~erpetuated.
he organized the local cavalry
camp which led first to the cavalry
/ reunion, and eventually to the
formation Of the United Confeder
ate Veterans. To the success OF
this great organization he devoted
his life as a labor of love, and IL
it's service he breathed his lasl
breath.
His winning personal traits en-
deared him to all who knew him
Devoted in his friendships, his
heart was always IN sympathy with
the interests OF his friends. liz
was yer alive to the welfare o.
town, parish and state, and h''
time and purse were at the dis
posal Of the public good.
In the prime of his life he passed
away, leaving behind HIM an un
furnished reputation as a citizen
a soldier and a member OF our or
g~anlzat,on.
To his widow and son we tender
our deepest sympathy and in thei1
loss and sorrow we have our share
His memory will be cherished
as long as the United Confederate
Veterans survive.
