Her name is Anroe Brown. Prom actual test of weights and measures, the following figures were obtained by a party of gentle men who saw ha* last Sunday. Her weight is 500 pounds. She is 5 feet 8 inches in height; 7 feet 2 inches is her circumference around the bust: 6 feet 4 inches around the waist, and 30 inches around the arm near the shoulder. One man was unequal to the task of measuring her. She came remarkably near being as broad as she is long. It is said she fills completely the i body of a one-horse wagon, and is i a full load for one horse to pull. ] Within the last twelve months i she has gained about 100 pounds ' in weight. She would be a valuable side- ' show card at the Piedmont Expo- 1 sihon or the Georgia state fair. 1 She is an example of the health 1 and productiveness of Houston ; county. 0PEXS OCTOBER 1,1890 —More cotton bagging is being used by alliancemen near Perry than was the case a week ago. —A neat new fence has . just been built around the front yard of Mr. E.

Warehouse STOCK DOUBLED. HIGHEST MARKET PRICE PAID FOR COTTON. NO COMMISSIONS FOR HANDLING-, Mrs Eelder was a remarkable woman in many respects. She possessed remarkable vitality, as her long life proved. She was a consistent Christian for fully- 70 years, a devoted member of the Baptist Church. She lived about 16 years a girl and maiden, 48 years a wife, and 23 years a widow. She was nearly blind and very feeble during the last year of her life, and for the last three or four weeks was completely blind and entirely helpless. Tender hands and loving hearts minisieredto her wants, and now she has gone to meet the Heavenly reward for a long life well spent. 1 Thereare many here besides her 1 relatives who will ever remem- 1 ber her with love and gratitude. 1 She is at rest—happy in Heaven.

President James informs ns that the next quarterly session of Hous- 1 ton Connty Alliance will De held ’ at Elko on Friday, the 3rd day of ' October next. The delegates are requested to be on hand early, as the session will be opened promptly at 9 o’clock a. m. There will be con siderable important business be fore the meeting, and a large por tion of the day will be needed for that purpose. All sub-Alliances are requested to select delegates at their next meeting, if that duty has not been -j performed. ( The delegates and visitors will j be the guests of Hickory Grove ^ Alliance. We know the entertainment will ( be tip-top in every every respect. ( The hospitality of the people - abont Hickory Grove is unbound- - ment in —Syrup Kettles and a tip-top Cane Mill can be bought cheap at Thf Home Jqtjbsal office. During the the past ten days one of the most interesting and suc cessful religious revivals that has been known there for years, has been in progress at Andrew Chap el (Houston Factory Methodist church). The meeting has been conducted by the pastor, Bev. N. D. Morehouse, assisted by Bev. D. D. Bateman, of Perry, and Bev. Sylvester Brown, of Dennard. Though the weather has been at times exceedingly inclement and threatening, the attendance has been uniformly good, and an. in tense degree of interest manifest ed. Eight accessions to the ehnreh have been made, and others are confidently expected. Backsliders have been reclaimed, family altars erected, lukewarm church mem bers stirred and aroused to the ne cessity of more earnest work, and throughout the community reli gious sentiment has been deepen ed and widened into an influence for good. The meeting is still in progress, though the indications are that it will close during the present week. GEO, W_ CASE, MARBLE AND GRANITE W0R MONUMENTS, IRON FENCES.- ETC-, —For all.

It will be remembered that a large lot of cotton was destroy ed by fire in Mr. Prince’s ware house last winter. Although there had been no instructions from the farmers to insure it, Mr. Price.paid all losses to the farmers, in full, out of his own pocket It certainly must be a source of satisfaction for the farmers to know that they can carry their cotton to a warehouse man that will stand between them and all losses, and who is as solid as a national bank. Mr. Price in vites the people of Houston and Crawford to carry him their cot ton and will guarantee to secure .for them the top of the market He is a liberal ami clever business man and the Enterprise takes pleasure in giving him its endorse ment and recommending him to the public.
