Times Enterprise:
I am starting from Mr. T. B. Har
dys store, which is located Just where
the Thomasville and Summerhill
splendid public road runs into the
Boston and Patten road. Both of
these highways Mre in splendid or
der and speak well for our hard
working officials. But I l
on. Before starting towards Sum
merhill. I want to say just a few
words about I'nity Academy, and
that worthy settlement, and I trust
our Hon. School Commissioners will
take notice of them and hear their
pnayers.
First, they want a school district,
j because they think its right. They
have 4 0 or 50 children of school
age. some of these are ^*oor and
must have help. Some are heavy
tax-payers, and want to build up a
school that will benefit all concern
ed without throwing a straw in the
way of other school districts around.
Some of these people could send
their children to Ozelle, but the
Creek to cross, others could send to
| Boston, but there’s the railroads to
j cross, etc. Prof Searcy is drawing
,a plat of his school district. When
it’s finished I believe every tax pay
er in the Summerhill district will
sign a petition to grant them a
School district. Ozelle tax payers
will sign it too. T will, and I pay
tax to Summerhill. These citizens
are going to pull for it believing
they are right before the Hon. School
Commissioner and the law.
Here on my left is a beautiful
farm, conducted by Mr. T. T. Joiner.
The corn crop on this place is cer
tainly fine. Your sc-ibe walked over
| this farm and I found pea?, cane,
I pinders, sorghum and In fact he can
j make hay for the farm and to sell.
| The cotton crop is extra good, on
i some acres he will got a bale or
more. Mr. Joiner is fo-tunate in
having some one to help him. He
showed me some of the finest and
: most prolific cotton I ever saw. He
j remarked that is Mrs. Joiner’s
! patch. One of his hoys Furman, by
name will sure push some of the;
