The Enter i be s baits no advertisements from a hr ■sad that will take trade from our iv vne mer chants, and therefore the la:ter ought to patronize us. The supreme court of Georgia in a ; recent decision declares the 10 per l cent fees of Loan agencies is usury. Where a man has bo rowed money and gives notes for it at 8 per cent and the agent charges 10 per cent additional for his fees the court looks upon it as usury and allows the bor¬ rower so to plead, and which would make the notes void. The Madisonian is very near, if not entirely correct, in saying that Gov. Atkinson stayed in the senato¬ rial race with his usual bull-dog te¬ nacity as long as he had any hope of election, then withdrew in a very pa 1 riotic (?) manner. We see no pa t riot ism in his action. It was to us a clear case of “Billie couldn’t get pudding, so he kept his pie,” In speaking of the late convention the Macon Telegraph says that four excellent canpidates were nominated for judges of the supreme court, and it turned down Gober and along with him, we hope forever, Goberisin in Georgia politics. We are agreeably surprised at the outcome of this con¬ vention. We are proud of it, and in consequence, feel much more hope ful of Georgia politics. Southern, Southwestern and Midd’e Georgia were very much in evidence in that convention, and in its final action May the spirit that manifested itself in that body wax strong in the land It seems that senator elect Clay made a slip by referring to his elec¬ tion for senator, when he called the convention to order to nominate su¬ preme court judges. He dished out a lot of taffy to what lie called “the common people,” and promised not to have an evil thought during the six years he expects to remain iu the spnate. Steve is human, aud in or der to keep that pledge it will be necessary for him to get a harp, a pair of wings and a golden crown and carry them along to Washington with ‘him, so as to let the people up there understand that “although of the world,” be is by no manner of means “worldly minded.” The Democratic convention iu At lanta l ist week nominated for su preme court justices the following gentlemen : Hons Samuel Lumps kin, of Oglethorpe; W. .4. Little, of Muscogee ; A. J. Cobb, of I ulton ; VY. H. Fish, of Sumter. All are pure men and able lawyers, and the probability is that they will be elec ted on Dec. 18th without opposition, The convention was in session part of two days and until 11 o’clock one night, it required extra time and fine political work to defeat Judge G >bar, one of the ‘machine,’or slate candidates, who went into the con vention with almost enough votes to v.o.'uuiate lam uu the first ballot, a-u,:. - - ■ -V-. w ■ - cr,. i I SEE 4'oo Drops j J ni.iiii a 7 {llinUlUililibi 77 i;iiuimtiimutm>UMt'iiHmiHnmiinm»tHHHlw THAT THE mm I I FAC-SIMILE Tf", ~ ~, 7 . i A » On.

Dear Enterprise .---Last week I went up to Hayston to pay a visit to my old friend, Fielder Ozburn. If there is a better fellow on the top (side of the earth (or bottom side either) than generous hearted Fielder it 1ms not been my good fortune to meet him, and to say that I had a good time genet ally but half way expresses it His beautiful and ac compiished daughter, Mi-s Claude. delighted me with some splendid mu sic on the organ. If I could always 1 feel as good as I did under the strains of her sweet voice and per j feet touch on that organ, I’d be a J good fellow all the balance of my life | Fielder carried me over his plan¬ ‘ tation and I must say there is not finer lands in old Newton. Every¬ thing on the place is in good order, showing that a skilled farmer had the management of it. We then went over the lovely little town of Hayston. Mr. Steve Hays has a well stocked store of general merchandise with Mr. J L Coffer as salesman. Thei e is a rice depot on the M. G. & A 13. II. There are several neat residences and a number of building lots for sale at no fancy prices. They have a church that would do credit to a place ten times the size of Hays¬ ton. The people are wide awake on the subject of education and are put¬ ting the finishing touches on a neat and commodious academy. Hayston has a progessive, intelligent, moral citizenship and Newton cannot boast of a better section within her bor ders Long may they prosper. Respectfully, Sam Snip. HOW TO PREVENT CROUP. Some Reading that will Prove Inter¬ esting to Young Mothers. How to Guard Against the Disease. Croup is a terror to young mothers and to post them concerning the cause, first symptoms and treatment is the object of this item. The- ori gin of croup is a common cold, and children who are subject to it take cold very easily and croup is almost sure to follow. The first symptom is hoarsness; this is soon followed by a peculiar rough cough, which is easily recognized and will never be forgot* ten by one who has heard it. The time to act is when the child first be comes hoarse. If Chamberlain’s Cough. Cernedy is freely given all tendency to croup will soon disap pear. Even after the croupy cough lias developed it will prevent the at¬ tack. There is no danger in giving this remedy for it contsins nothing Injurious. For sale by C. C. Brooks.
