The Sunday School Conventicn of Coffee County in Session. Last Sunday was a very inter esting day in Broxton for tl at beautiful town, full of some cf the State’s best people, were en tertaining the Sunday School Convention which had been in session since Friday night before. We cannot give any thing like a report for we were not fortu nate enough to secure a report from Secretary Roberts. Among the speakers from Douglas on Sunday were Hon. W. P. Ward and Mayor W. C. Lankford. The latter delivered a sublime address on “Hope,” the former conducted the child ren’s mass meeting in the after noon, both acquiting themselves handsomely in the different parts assumed. Tk J e r from the field at large, on Sunday SchoolW.ork, was good, but not as large as those enthusiastic workers ex pected. Bro. C. C. Buchanan, of Way cross, was present, and besides his blackboard instructions, made several interesting and instruc tive discourses. Mr. N. M. Pafford, of Nichols, was re-elected President, and our fellow townsman, Col. L. E. Heath was elected Secretary. Resolutions of thanks to the people of Broxton were adop v ed by a rising vote, and in this con nection the Enterprise returns thanks to Mr. R. B. Taylor and Col. Curry, of the firm of S. P. Collins & Co., for entertaining its delegation and for the numer ous courtesies shown them. No selection was made for a place in which to hold the next convention.

Owing to the fact that the surveyor had serious sickness in his family, losing his mother by death, and he himself seriously sick for some time, the survey ing v as 1 ot complete and was in no shape for the drawing to take place at McLean as set. Those who held lots very kind ly consented for the drawing to be postponed until the above date, at which time Mr. Chris tain informs us everything will be in first class condition, and ready for the drawing. There is a strong probability of McLean making a good towr, and those who hold lots express themselves as being extremely pleased with the outlook. V e feel confident that they will not be disappointed, as we have ye to learn of the party who has in vested in Coffee county land* who lost money. Twelve years ago Fitzgerald was in the woods, as McLean is now, but if you want to see one of the best towr s in Georgia, take a day off and come down to Fitzgerald. Of course, present company, Doug las is excepted, we are speaking of colony towns, and not of towns built, in the good old fas’ - ion way. When we speak of towns of this kind of course Douglas heads the list. No man makes a mistake when he decides to cast his lot with Coffee county and her good peo ple. We need 50,000 more peo ple and we are going to work (o this end. Coffee county can easily accommodate that many more and then have room to spare. We want them to locate with us, at Douglas, Broxton-, Willacoochee, Nichols, Ambrose, Bushnell, McDonald, Pearson, Chatterton, McLean, or any where else they may desire, so they are within the boundary of Coffee county. Let them come and in large numbers. Come to McLean the 23rd of May, and do not forget to come to the great Coffee County Fair at Douglas, Nov. 6,7, 8, 9 and 10, 1906. A Card of Thanks. I desire to thank the Methodist Church for the kindness shown me in presenting me with’The Bible” last Sunday. It came to me as a very pleasant surprise, and will ever be cheerished by me. While I have always tried to do the best possible, this token of esteem will be an incentive to do my very best in future, I would like to express my thanks in words, but as this could only be a partial expression at best, I accept the bible, as suring the donors that it, ts they, will ever be highly esteem ed and held in reverence.
