The Enterprise.
PUBLISHED WEEKLY.
—S. W. HAWKINS, Editor,—
Thursday Morning, MAR 21, 1895.
Our sister city of Athens seems to
be having trouble over a new dog
law passed by the council. It ap
pears that the city authorities have
not stated clearly whether the police
are to kill the dogs or to shoot their
owners.
The recent advance in the price of
cotton should not alter the determi¬
nation of farmers to decrease their
acreage, for with another big crop
the price of cotton may drop below
5 cents per pound next fall. This
sudden advance should not tempt
the farmers to neglect food crops.
The Athens Banner is correct when
it says that those who clearly remark
that the Democratic party is dead
know little of the truth. The party
of Thomas Jefferson is immoral. Its
life is only measured by the existence
of the republic, and when it dies the
republic will have perished
An exchange gives the following
advice: “There is no use losing sleep
from a bone felon. W rap a cloth
loosely around the felon, leaving the
end open. Pour gun powder in the
end and shake it down until the end
is covered, then keep it wet with
camphor. In two hours the pain
will be relieved, and a perfect cure
will follow.”
In order to cure a cold it is said
that nothing is better than a hot
footbath and a hot drink, followed
by a dovei’s powder, All of this is
to stimulate perspiration Then one
grain of quinine, with one-quarter o,
a grain of red pepper, should be tak
en every two hours for 24 hours
By that time your cold will have
disappeared.
The Kansas woman’s suffrage law
will probably hereafter be the model
from which all other similar laws will
lie drawn. It lias been decided that
under the Kansas law it is not neces¬
sary for the voter to state her exact
age. She may merely make oath that
she is “over 21,” and that is all suffi¬
cient. So considerate a law must at
once leap into prime favor with wo
nn.n suffragists.
A community is like a man, be
cause it is made up of a whole lot of
men. If you want to prostrate busi
uess in a town start the story going
that the town has no trade, no enter
prise, no pluck, no prospect*. Above
all get the people of the town them¬
selves to talkiug to this dolorous
strain. Let all the merchants sigh
and swear that trade never was so
dull, let the minister groan in the
pulpit, and let the corner statesman
prophesy a hard winter, a backward
spring and a dry summer, Do all
these things and keep on doing them
and you will kill any town on earth.
The Savannah News says that a
great many people and papers are
disposed to ridicule the idea of John
L. Sullivan becoming a temperance
lecturer. As a matter of fact, all that
is needed to make Sullivan one of the
most powerful temperance lecturers
that ever went upon a rostrum is his
geuuine reformation and embarking
upon the adventure. He is a man of
abundant horse sense. He is peifect
ly familiar with all the wiles of the
drink demon. He knows the effect
of whisky drinking upon the physi
cal constitution. He’can, and would
ta k of these things in a manner to
appeal irresistibly to the very class of
people the temperance folks most
eai nestly desire to reach and iuflu
ence. Sullivan has run his course as
an athlete and as a profigate; but if
be were to turn temperance lecturer
in earnest he would still have an ex¬
traordinary career before him. He
would rival Francis Murphy at ob¬
taining signal urea to the pledge.

Womans’ Foreign Mission Dep’t
EDITED BY MISS SALLIE V. STEWART
As a matter of encouragement to
some, and with the hope, perchance,
of wakening deep interest in others,
a report of the work of the Woman’s
Missionary Society of the Covington
Methodist church for the last quar¬
ter is given.
Mrs. C. C. Robinson is justifying
the wisdom of the Society in her elec¬
tion as President. Her earnest work
seems infusing new life into the mem¬
bers. Realizing that lack of interest
often means lack of information, a
regular course of study of the dif¬
ferent Mission fields has been iuaug
urated, and we can but believe the
result will be more and better work
for the cau-e.
The report for the quarter ending
March 1st, is: Adult Society, Dum¬
ber of Members, 32. Dues, $14.70.
Incidentals, $170. Specific Fund,
$12.95. Specific Donation, $6.20.
Thank Offering, $3 95. Cradle Roll,
15 Total-$40.25
Juvernile Society—Mrs. Ivy, Man
ager. Dues, $3.75. Incidentals, 15.
Number Members, 19.
Young People’s Society—Mrs. V.
C Conyers, Manager. Number mem
bers, 17. Dues, $4.67. Total—$48.82.
A Missionary in the West Indies
having called on the colored people
for a little help in spreading the gos¬
pel, a negro with a wooden leg came
forward, and pulling from one pock
et a parcel of silver, said, “That’s
for me, massa and another parcel
from another pocket, “That’s for my
wife, massa and another still, (in
all thirteen dollars), “That’s for my
child, massa.” When asked by the
missionary if he was not giving too
much, he said : “God’s work must
be done, massa, and I may be dead.
As I have no promise of ‘to-morrow,’
I must do my full duty to day.”
Why is the “missionary spirit” so
often spoken of and prayed for as a
gift especially designed for a few,
whose life and labors are to be devo¬
ted exclusively to mission work?—
Why is it not as essential to those
who ought to support, by prayers
arid dollars, the men and women who
go across the seas ? Where is the
point for drawing this line of person¬
al duty among the church members
whose covenant promise includes the
supplying of financial aid, according
to ability, the bearing of one anoth
er’s burdens, and prayer and syinpa
thy for all. Every real Christian
must be a missionary at heart. He
cannot help longing for the extend¬
ing of the truth he holds so dear ,
for the world wide acceptance of
Christ the Lord.—Heathen Woman’s
Friend.
