IT CAN'T BE DONE.
The slogan, "It can't be done," would lock any man within the nar
row confines of impossibilities all his life. It would shut out the light
Si pro-ress frori any community. It would leave the ripened wheat to
,e gathered with a sickle and puch the flivver into the eternal and ever
i;csting future. Yet this is the slogan that gets nearest to the heart of a
great imhly peopel. The overcoming of difficulties, the solving of hard
Iroblleuv ant ti P sacrifices that must be made in doing the extraordinary
things of life do not appeal to the average man, and the great accom
iplishinicits cof human endeavor result from the imagination and vision
4,f some one wOn is a crank until he becomes a success. Then he is a
genius or a great mlan.
We Vbelieve investigation would show that every city that has become
great was s:aried onl its road to success by one or a very few men. And
-ome of these cities had no more natural advantages than Covington
las tc-day.
If every man and woman in Covington would say, "It shall be a greater
city," and pledge their energy to its growth, to adminiistrative support,
sanitation, beautification and enforcement of laws, and would cheerfully
give such hfnancial assistance to good movements as they could afford,
not only could they be astonished by. the growth of the town, but they
x ould realize greater individual prosperity through the new opportuni
ties affcl ded.
The following clipping from a daily paper will illustrate this. It is a
good lessoim fur those who are inclined to believe it can't be done:
"The towa of Warrenton, which has only 927 population by this
sear s ,e:;s.;s, holds the North Carolina record for 'owning itself.'
The as:'ss~c:l value of its property is $1,800,000. Some thirty-five
years ago * built a railway three miles long connecting it with War
ren P'ii:ns .:i the Seaboard Air Line, and has ever since operated the
road, Nhic'h gives the town an average net profit above all ex
penses of $,,000 a year.
"The tcwa owns a water plant and sewerage system which cost
$112,000; an ice plant of forty tons daily capacity, with a cold stor
age sec.:ou; a power and' light plant which cost $40,000, and is
building a $120,000 hotel, with laundry, bakery and refrigerating
plant. Recently a $100,000 bond issue for a public school building
was voted and this will be in readiness for the autumn opening of
the schools next year. The women voters, who put through the
school bond Irsue in very handoame style, will now take steps to
have a laundry built by the town, this also to be ready in 1921."

Working Hard Every Day Without
Let-Up Wears You Out in Time.
SOMETIMES YOU NEED A TONIC
Pepto-Mangan Makes Rich Red Blood
add Lifts You Out of
Bad-Heath Ruts.
There are days when you feel down
right sick. You think you couldn'
feel any worse. Yet, as far as you
know, there's nothing the matter
with you. From the time you ge'
up in the morning till you go to bed
at night you are tired. You feel as
though you'd like to sit down and
do nothing. You look tired and pale
and haggard. You get careless about
your dress.
No wonder! Your blood is all
clogged up with poison. Your power
of resistance is at a low ebb. Your
blood needs food. It needs the help
that the vitalizing tonic, Pepto-Man
gan, will give it. Instead of feeling
exhausted and tired out for months,
you will soon pick right up and feel
well and strong again. And with
good red blood you are able to fight
off ailments.
Pepto-Mangan is widely and heart'
ly endorsed by physicians. It is ef
fective and easy to take. It is pre
pared in both liquid and tablet form,
and you can take one or the other
and receive the same benefits.
Sold at any drug store. But be
sure you get the genuine Pepto-Man
gan-"Gude's." Ask for-it by the
full name and be sure the full name.
"Gude's Pepto-Mangan," is on the
package.-Advertisement.
