ANNOUNCEMENT.
The brief announcement made on
Tuesday morning, severing my con
nection with the Ti.mes-Enteurrise
Company, would seem to require a
more explicit announcement The
Ti.MKs-ExTEitrmsE Company took
charge of the Times FInterrhise, on
Jan. 1st, 1800, and has no control of
the hooks, accounts or business of the
years 1888 and 1880. No other per
son than myself is authorized to set
tle or collect accounts for theso two
years, hut any sottlenicnt made by
Capt. Triplett, on account of the busi
ness ol' Triplett &. Burr, or cither
Capt. Triplett or Mr. Winter, on ac
count of thc^business from the date of
the consolidation to the 1st of Jan.
18110, will lie satisfactory to me.
In the arrangement referred to, in
which I sell my stock !o Capt. Trip
lett, it will lie understood that [ do not
sell my interest (nearly one-fourth) in
the business ot the present year, to
dale of sale. The Company bavin;
guaranteed mo that interest in settle
ment of the accounts, T very cheerful
ly sever my connection with the busi
ness.
As there arc quite a large number
id delinquent subscribers and partii
owing the Times and Timks-Enteh
prise, for 1888, and 188!), I wouh
most respectfully ask them to cum
forward and make settlement- with a
view of closing up the business. For
a week or two I may lie found at the
Times-Enterprise office, where I
will lie glad to see all those in arrears.

Pleasant Words.
Judge Ilanscll convened the spring
term of Lowndes superior court on
Monday last, charged the graud jury
and then adjourned it over until next
Monday.
The venerable judge, whom every
body esteems very highly, celebrated
his golden wedding on Tuesday hist
It was proposed at first to adjourn one
day only, but after consultation with
lawyers and people, it was agreed to
adjourn over until the next Monday.
Several of the lawyers had to go to
Atlanta during tlie week to attend the
supreme court, and the farmers were
busy cutting outi and doing helafed
farm work. So it all came in very
well.
The judge’s charge to the jury was
characteristic of the great and good
mail. He had a message for them,
and delivered it in an impressive and
forcible manner.
The Times congratulates the judge
upon this golden anniversary of his
wedded life, and were such a thing
possible, would wish for him and his
good wife many returns of the happy
day.—Valdosta Times.
Judge Ilanscll, and Mrs. Ilanscll,
and their friends fully appreciate the
kindly sentiments expressed by our
neighbor.
