LOCHRIDGE & TANNER, Gen.. Agts., for South, Ga
Our Seventeenth Year.
We begin, with this issue, our
seventeenth year. There has
been quite a considerable change
in this town, and county, since
the first issue of this paper.
We do not undertake to say
what change will take place
CJUi iug the next seventeen years,
but we will say that the En
terprise will, at all times be in
the forefront, and always using
Jis influence to make as great
tilings as possible come to pass,
for the upbuilding, improvement,
and development of our section.
We are prepared to do more
n nv than at any time in the past,
aid we are more willing, if
anything, than ever before tc
give our influence and energies
to t he advancement and devolop
ment of this great section ol
favored country.
Passing into our seventeenth
marks a new era in o ir
town and county. Everything
is in a prosperous and satisfac
tory condition, and we confident
ly believe that the eighteen years
v ill bring about greater changes
than the last seventeen have.
It is going to take influence, it
is going to take harmony, it is
going to take unity of action,
r is going to take hearty co-op
eration, it is going to take money,
it is going to take brain, but
most of all it is going to take a
w illingness to work, with all this
and more if necessary, we will,
during the next seventeen years
See gieater changes, and more
-development than ever before.
Our mechanical manager, Mr.
-James M. Freeman, who has
been identified with newspaper
Work over forty years, will
be with us and will give us the
necessary aid in doing our work.
He has been connected with this
paoer for a number of years,
*nJ feels a great interest in its
success.
We would ask for the liberal
Support and patronage in the fu
ture that we have had in
Lie past. We have only been a
newspaper man one month.
Never had any connection with
©no before in any capacity, but
we promise the patrons of the
paper to give them a good pa
per, free from political prejudice,
free from religious prejudice, and
free from hobbies and prejudi
ces, of any kinds,
We will not pose as a free
lance to strike here and there,
for sensational purposes, nor will
we undertake to reform the
world, but we will stand by right
and denounce wrong at all times.
The paper is yours, take it for
the good of our county, and for
all purposes that have pure and
high motives.
Since the mechanical engineer
of this paper has been in the
printing business in this town
many changes have taken place,
as already noted. From a four
page paper of seven years ago it
now requires an eight page |
quarto, to carry the county news
and the advertisements of the
live and progressive merchants.
The merchants of the city are
learning that the one that dies
the most advertising is the most
successful in business. He may
not have the largest store and
most capital but he has turned
his dollars over more rapidly and
for the capital employed, has
more to show.
Well, the Enterprise expects
to turn things over too. Since
the writer embarked in news
paper business here three papers
once published in the citv have
disappeared, and the remnants
of their offices are in this one,
and he feels too deep an interest j
in the business of his life to allow
his efforts to flag now. Hebe-j
lieves the people are loyal and j
true to the one who has served j
them faithfully, and he expects!
in the future to do more than I
ever to give them a paper in
keeping with the advancement
of the people and the general
prosperity of the county.
As we enter this volume we
put on a full head of steam, not
eas either, for it is well known
that 1906 will be a busy year,
is already, in the sth month,
we feel the pressure, and expect
to meet the issue fair and square,
with the best in the shop, and if
we havn’t the best, we have a
way to get all we need, in type,
rules, borders, and other material
of the latest manufacture.

Sciatica Cured After Twenty Years
of Torture.
For more than twenty years Mr.
J B. Nassey, of 3322 Clinton St,
Mi nneapolis, Minn., was tortured j
by sciatica. The pain and suffer
ing w hich lie endured during this
lime is beyond comprehension.
Nothing gave him any permanent
relief until he used Chamberlain’s
Pain Balm. One application of
that liniment relieved the pain and (
made sleep and rest possible, and
less than one bottle has effected a
permanent cure. Mr. Massey re
lates his experience for the benefit
of others who may be similarly
afflicted. If troubled with sciatica
or rheumatism why not try a 25-cent !
bottle of Fain Balm and see for
yourself how quickly it relieves,
the pain.
