The morning session was followed
by lunch served by the ladies school
league. The lunch consisted of oys-
ter stew, sandwiches, salad. cake
and chocolate and coffee. Our school
girls acted in the capacity of waters,
and with their neat white aprons
gave pleasing gl:mpses of events
when we will have the department OF
home economics.
The afternoon session was given
to arrang 'ng the athletic events. The
committee was ready to report, and
the session was cut short for the
basketball game.
This game was the best played by
the Covington team this season. The
Sl'dell and Covington boys were
about evenly matched in weight
The Sl;dell fellows were loyalty back

the literary and athletic events
Miss Morrell placed ON the board
such exhibits as rightfully came un-
der a literary head, this being the
result of del beration Of the commit
tee on literary matters. These lit

book making and reports Of special
readings. This will be one OF the
most profitable features, as pupils
will make special efforts to prepare
written work OF accuracy and neat

For other literary events, all pup Is
were divided into div isions. the first

Covington. La. Jan. II, 1914.
Editor St. Tammany Farmer:
A few weeks ago YOU have been sc
SO KIND to open your valued column.
for the discussion of subjects for the
betterment OF our town merchants
and the town in general. we feel yol
will again allow us q little more
space. ss- ssl
During the year of 1913 there nas
been more losses sustained by the
merchants Of Cov.ngton through an
unorgantsed system OF selling on the
credit plan. than In any other direct
commercial industry.
It 10 well known fact that Cov.ng-
ton 10 considered by the outside cap.-
tai credit town (and . bad one at
that: It i equally a better known
fact that any town with that kind OF
q name behind It is not considered a
very desirable town for outside IN
vestments. or In other words, the
system and business methods of the
town are not inviting to outsider can
ital, which would otherwise come
here, IL our business methods were.
on q sound basis.
Another point by which town is,
generally Judged d BY its municipa
improvements. Has C0v.ngton been
blessed n the last few years with ali
the hnancial assistance II should
have, BY way Of personal subscrip
tions towards the betterment OF its
much needed general upkeep and re-
pairs? Right here we might SAX the
question: On whom does.it depens!
to keep up the town? We naturally
say. on the taxpayers. But as mat
ter OF fact and honest truth, do not
the merchants play most importan,
tionS. Il Il not fact that every
merchant would like to see Coving
'6ott t-ohe a1boom? And they are ever
ready to. loosen their purse strings
and imppyerish their already depict
ed bank account, to help make Cow
1ngton the greater garden spot of ths
South. -kat their contributions mus
Af MeeeSAity b4 limited in accordance
with their tpc9me. It would be q
safe bet to wager that Covingtor
would enjoy the distinction OF being
the greatest ftfle town on the map l
II every merchant could collect. sa?
seventy-flvo per cent OF the accounts

proposition that every business es

would 81 only too glad to subscribe
almost half their barga ned collec
tions towards making Covington tn
town 1t1fhould be by right OF its To- /
cation and distinction, which is just
ly its own.
It goes without saying that. il our
we're making money, the
town would enjoy its share of tn
prosperity; and one thing sure, II
could, without any great effort on tn
part OF its administration, build !;
City Hall at least, and oh. my! do we
need one? Ask this same question I

Capt. Frank Burkitt. member I
of the State Senate from Chicka-
saw county, and for nearly forty
years familiar figure in polit-
ical affairs of the State, has an
nounced his permanent retire
ment from politics.
In signed statement issued
after his return home from the
recent Legislative session, Capt.
Burkitt announced that he will
not, under any circumstances.
again become an aspirant for
office; that he feels Younger men
ought to come to the front. and
therefore asks his friends cot to
urge him again for any elective
position.
Capt. Burkitt first came to the
Legislature in 1886, and, after
the organization of the Popullst
party, was one of the recognized
leaders of that organization,
making the race for Yice-presl-
dent of the middle-of-the- road
ticket. He announced his return
to the Democratic party in 1900.
and since that time has served in
both houses of the Legislature.
He is now in his 71st year. and
still so physically strong and
vigorous that some of his old
opponents seriously doubt the
permanency of his declaration of
retirement, believing that it is
somewhat akin to one of Sarah
Bernhardt's farewell tours of
America. Exchange.
Old Frank is alright, wish bim
long and happy life.

We have the best town in the state for
it's population and at the rate the i'm
provements are going on our population
will materially increase. We are grad

concrete walks have attracted the peo-
pie to our town. A town that is back
ward about walks is regarded dead
or non-progressive town.
Hon. w. w. Magruder IS putting down
a splendid concrete walk around his
new office building which is not only
ornamental, but useful. The Baptist
church with the great addition that is
being made and some finishing touches
that were left off when the edifice was
constructed, are being made and when
completed will present the appearance
of new structure entirely. We
imagine that by the time this work is
completed it will have cost the hand
some little sum of 100000. but our
Baptist brethren are great workers and
accomplish with ease whatever they
go at. work together as one man. The
building when completed will compare
