The rally, with it many incidents,
have passed, ar. only memories re-

ingtOn has there been such demon

The good people OF our town always
respond to a cause. This time they
surpassed their record.
Almost every home in Covington
threw open its doors and entertained
in most generous way. Hosts met
the children; carriages were placed
at their disposal.
Mrs. Bodebender. Mrs. Hoehn,
Messrs. John Domergue, Alton Sp1th
and Mr.. Leonval carried loads OF raj
iy boys and girls to the homes sup
piled for them, and the committee
had two carriages helping in this
work. Friends whose guests did not
ARRIVE, eagerly sought entrance to
the registration room, trying to get
some other child to fill their homes.
At the park, the lunch committee

had overcome the weather conditions
by moving their restaurant On the
stage and turning the dressing room
into a kitchen. The tired faces of
this committee was a sufficient guar
antee Of the heroic work accomplish
ed that morning in the preparation
OF 1900 lunches.
The happy sight Of this large num-
Der of children and the knowledge
that they were our guests repaid us
for our work.
In the late afternoon the carriages
again began to send children to their
homes and up to q late hour every
child handled by the committee was
placed. Some who attended the pic
ture show, and a few of the larger
boys, were found by citizens On the
street at night. Even these were
conducted to hotels and cared tor.
The Seller Hotel cared for ten guests
without charges. The Warren Ba-
don Hotel had 20 without charges.
Mr.. Del Corral six without charges.
Mrs. w. N. Cooper and Mrs. Howe
also entertained large crowds. The
other hotels, the Glenn Cottage, Pat
rick Hotel. Mrs. L. Niles, Wallis Viii
Ia, Hosmer House, Southern Hotel,
all contributed by giving cheap rates.
Every citizen of Covlngton, every
mother-heart responded, and the raj
ly committee, through the columns

and every one. We want to extend
our congratulations to all Of the
