large establishments, and when
they are gotten up in a hurry,
printed in a hurry, distributed in
a hurry, the job is poorly done,
and excuse us, if we suggest that
this is the only way the two last
premium lists have been gotten
out. It should now be in
preparation, if riot in the hands
of some printer.

Dismiss.
The subject for Sunday night
should attract a large congrega
tion and especially a large numb
er of men. The pastor has se
cured quite a number of excusses
from some of the prominent men
in Douglas on the topic “Why
More Men Do Not Attend
Church.” These excusses are
from men who do not attend
church aften and their excusses
will be interesting and probably
helpful. The excusses will be
carefully considered and answer
ed by the pastor.

The Fourth of July.
The people of Douglas, four
or five years ago, would make

two years this has been neglec

size of Douglas in Georgia are
making some preparations, and
let us do something of the kind.
It will do the merchants good,
people will come to town and
trade until 12 o’clock, In the af
ternoon let us have foot races
base-ball, music &c. Of course,
the Enterprise will give all the
notice required, and hope to see
the ball put in motion.
