Covington Dead. MONROE, N. Dec. D. A.

Covington, who has been ill for some time, died this morning at o'clock. He was one of the town's most prominent and public-spirited citizens. He was Assistant United States District Attorney during Cleveland's administration. He has also represented his county several times in the Legielature, and has also been mayor of Monroe for number of terms. Many other public offices could have been his, but his extensive law practice prevented their acceptance.

Our New Cotton Mills. We are proud of our town; we are proud of her new industries, of her increased population; and we are pleased with a prospective view into the future. One scarcely realizes the improvements Albemarle that have been made in until a walk or ride over the entire place is had. We will speak in detail in the future of nearly ever industry in our place, but just at this time we are inspired from an inspection of the large cotton mill of the Wiscassett company. It is a mammoth concern, and would do justice to a city fifty times larger than ours.

The large boilers and en gines are being placed on the massive brickwork; the building is undergoing finishing touches the interior, and is already taking on a very handsome appearance; it is being surrounded by an underground net of water pipes all in the very latest and most improved machinery and design. While a lot of work has been and is being done, there is yet a great deal before it will be in operation. Efforts will be made to begin by March 1 next, but indications are that it will be at least the firet of April before this can be accomplished. It is a twostory building, nearly 300 feet in length, and the work of placing down machinery is very slow and tedious. The Eird Mfg.

Co. is running night and day. The output of this mill is a fixture on the northern markets, and commands first price. These mills are soon to put up a company store, 75 100 feet, just abore the depot. Again we say, we rejoice that we have them.
