than others and outhouses. were blown
down, as well as a number of forest
and shade trees were blown down.
The tWo-story house occupied by
Leonard Martindale on Emory Brad
ley's place in the 18th district, was
blown off the blocks, but was not
wrecked and fortunately none of the
family, who were in the house at the
time, were injured. The barn on the
Yarbrough old place, just north of
here, was wrecked.
Lightning struck the house Of Ada
Tooley, colored, just south of the de-

A BIG LOCAL ENTERPRISE

1t may be of interest to our sub
scribers to learn that the new build
ing of the Covington Mfg. & Auto Co.
is almost completed. This building is
ga feet wide and $50 feet long, divided
into four sections. On the south end
they have a room, 64x110, for their
machine shop, where they do all kinds
of high grade shop and blacksmith
work, acetylene welding, and manu-
facture the famous Wonder shovel,
which is being sold all over the South.
The next is their paint room, where
all painting work is finished. This
room is 24x40 feet with concrete floor
and finished plaster walls. Next to
the paint room comes the garage,
where automobiles are stored and re-
paired, and crew of workmen seems
to be kept busy looking after the
wants Of automobile owners. The
writer counted thirty-five cars in this
room during his visit.
From the garage one enters the
show rooms, which extend all the way
across the north end of the building.
These show rooms are fitted up with
immense plate glass windows which
make the place almost as light as day.
the furnishings are in oak, rubbed and
vanished
A rest room and layatory is set
aside for the use of ladies, exclusively,
and the management desires to make
it plain that every lady, both in and
out Of town, will be welcome to use it
at all times. If they desire to brush
up, to powder their faces, to check
and leave parcels until called for, they
are requested to do so, no matter
whether they own an automobile or
not, and it is hoped they will make
themselves perfectly at home in this
rest room, which is strictly private
and for ladies only.
We learn that this concern will car
ny complete stock of parts and auto
mobile accessories for all popular cars
and win be prepared at all times, both
day and night, to give efficient service.
Mr.. Aubrey Baxter, the popular and
industrious sales manager, reports the
delivery of more than twenty cars
within the past two weeks and also
that several more are sold but I'M
delivered.
This enterprise is a big one. 1t
means a great deal for both the town
and county, and the people behind it
should have the support of the public,
for Of such enterprises as this towns
are made to grow and communities
made to prosper.

ABOUT THE CHAUTAUQUA

AS no longer assume the response
bllity as local manager of the Chau-
tauqua in Covington, and after serv-
ing in this capacity for three years,
wish to take this opportunity to thank
the guarantors and other citizens for
the honor and trust that was shown
me in making me local manager, and
for the hearty support given me in
this work It was because Of the CO.
operation and encouragement given
the management that degree of sue
cess has been reached. In this | do
not refer to financial success. believe
we have succeeded in cultivating an
appreciation Of high class entertain
ment among the people The Chau-
tauquas in Covington have convinced
us that an entertainment can be of
such high class as to instruct and
elevate as well as to amuse.
At recent meeting of few of the
guarantors an executive committee of
five was appointed to manage the
Chautauqua for the coming season. ?
do not know who these men are, but
am sure they will get the hearty sup
port of the guarantors and the other
people in and around Covington, and
it is sincerely hoped that the Chautau-
qua this season will be one of the
greatest from every viewpoint that
we have ever had.
One whose heart is in the cause,
M. r. GIBSON.

INVITATION TO ALL TO
ATTEND SUNDAY SCHOOL
the People Of Tipton County,:

To the People Of Upton County:
We, the pastors and superintend-
ents of the different churches and

want to take this opportunity to ex-
tend a cordial invitation to the people
of our county to come and~worship
with us in our Sunday schools next
Sunday morning, April s, which is Co
Enthusiastically in the state.
Of course, it is not our purpose or
even desire to interfere with your
Sunday school or church services in
your own church, but we are aware Of
the fact that there are hundreds of
people in the county who do not have
Sunday school or preaching service at
their own church in the morning, so
we urge you to come and attend our
Sunday schools and church services on
this date. Dyersburg has laid down
challenge that they would have more
people in the Sunday schools next
Sunday than Covington, and we want
you to help us defeat them, but more
than that we desire to have you come
and be with us and visit our Sunday
schools if it does not interfere with
your own church work. We will give
you hearty welcome to worship with
us on this glad Easter day which has
been set apart by our governor as Co.
