ZZ/?c/e jim s > jYote . uSy ,y. <-AL. 3~reem am Oh, How He Loved Her. “Tell me again you love me; Kiss me on my lips and brow. Love of my soul—l love you— Hoy can I leave you now?” Cogee County Singing Convention on the second Sunday. Beulah Purvis is a nice little girl— sent me a box of grapes Tuesday. Emmie Wall is not treating me ex actly fair. No letter in two weeks. I saw Roscoe Smith and Bill Maine together last Tuesday. Now, listen out for some mischief. Mrs. E. M. Teston and children, of Murdock, Fla., are visiting her moth er, Mrs. 1). S. Batten, in town. All those classes at Nashville last Sunday vould sing, too, but I think Arnie Class did as well as any. Rosa Fiveash is at Levin Brothers’ Store again, and the boys from the country go there to buy their collars. Eli Vickers, Sr., says $e makes no promises, but he “does what he does.” ; And he generally does what he thinks is best. Ellen Smith, down at Sessoms, a pretty little blue eyed girl of fifteen, is becoming one of the most regular corsrpondents. Ethel Kirkland and Gaynell Ever ttt, down at Saginaw, haven’t let me | know if they are coming to Douglas on the 12th or not. Friends from the country will find me in the Sheriff’s office (luring court, or on the streets. Be sure to see me, for I have some things to tell you. Bertha Woods and Bessie Joiner have kicked their fellows as high as kites. Eva, however, has hypnotised (Jus Thompson until he’ll eat off her head. We want our correspondents to be gin sending in the news. Come to me and I will give you envelopes and pa per cut just right for our correspon dents. Some one stuck fire to the home of Mr. T. J. Shrowder, of Broxton, last Friday night, and burned it up. It wis worth SI,BOO, and was insured for SI,OOO. Viola Leavens says her fellow went back on her two or three Sundays ago, and she wants me to find a new one for her. I will have to look a round a little. Viola Leavens wants to know if I can pick cotton. I am afraid to let her know, because she'd want to give me a task of ISO pounds a day, and she’d rob my basket to keep me back. All next week and the week after ward, my friends will find me in the Sheriff’s office. My Contract with the Commissioners was to allow the grand jury to use my office twice each year. Ralph and Malcom Newbern, two smart looking boys, came and brought me the first stalk of sugar cane I have seen this season, last Saturday. It was a red cane and had seven nice, sweet joints. I was just thinking about Pearlie Adams last Saturday morning, when jn she walked, followed by her clever father, with a nice box of grapes. Busy picking cotton, too, Pearl is, but she don’t forget me. , Delilah Nipper and Eula McDon ald, out on No. 2, came in to see me last Saturday, and extended an invi tation for me to come out and help them pick cotton. lam afraid of ’em —they both look tricky. j The Clements family over on Rfd., Kirkland, had a family reunion a few days ago, and the house, yard and road were full of the Clements fam ily. I have ail their names, and in tend to adopt the whole business. It taken ten minutes for Judge W. C. Lankford to tell the people over at Nashville last Sunday what he knew about mhsic. It would have tak en me an hour for me to have told them what he dd not know about music. Luke T. McCrea, of Broxton, was in town Saturday, and came in to see me a moment. He says his grand daughter is an enthusiastic friend of Uncle Jim and the Note Book, and Miss Carry Belle Wilder has my thanks. Ordinary Ward issued license last Saturday for the marriage of Dr. Joe Corbitt and Miss Mary Lou Paradise, of Pearson. Ido not know the young lady, but I do know Doc, and I am glad he has a Paradise on earth. Con gratulations. Dollie Freemau returned from her visit of three weeks to her old chums, Eva Mims and Mrs. Reason Lott, in Jeff Davis county last Wednesday, but she is not satisfied and is planning to go back. I am afraid these people treated her too well. Mrs. Charls Purvis Sent me a bottle of syrup and a twenty pound pumpkin last Tuesday by her husband. He quarreled all the way, and thought: “I can’t see to save my life what wom en want to be sending ntle things to old Jim Freeman for.” The several committees of the Cof fee County Singing Convention will have to get very busy if they expect to get things in order—only one more week. Two thousand people are com ing, and it won’t do for them to go home disgusted with Douglas. The ladies that went to Nashville, composing the Arnie class, were Mary and Rebecca Neugent, Effie Skipper, Lizzie Mancill, Elsie Tak, Silla Mc- Donald and mother, Leila Miller, Le tha Starling. We had about as many gentlemen, with Geo. Kight leader. Tom Byrd was in town last week, and had been shaved and had on a clean shirt, and seemed mighty clever. He knows I am going up his way to morrow and is afraid I’ll see Mrs. Byrd and confess to her about some of Tom’s meanness out at Hot Springs Mary and Homer Corbitt came to see me last Saturday. Mary had been to the dentist and he had pried her mouth open until she looked whopper jawed, but still, she is one )of the finest girls in Georgia, and I can prove it by a fellow up at Wray. Some of the court house people charge that I hold court every Satur day, and all my jurymen wear dress es. In trying Gordon Floyd last Sat urday, they brought in a verdict of “guilty.” He must have heard about it, for he was seen in Berrien county next day. Those five Pridgen girls may look for us tomorrow, and Sib Vickers says he is coming too, if old Brindie will tote double. Brindie will tote double, but he has been trained to know who and what the “double” is, and Sib can’t counterfeit the kind he is used to carrying. Every time I pick out a chum to go with me some where she picks out one of her fellows and stays at home. I thought sure Lizzie Skipper would go with me to Nashville last Sunday, but she gave me the slip, and I believe John vickers was to blame for the whole business. Leonard Smith, from up about Prid gen, was in town last Monday, and told me not to forget that people were looking for me at Wooten’s School Huse tomorrow. Yes, and one of the Pridgen girls say a widow lady will be there to see me, too. Doggone,— getting popular! Albert Smith, of Broxton, was here last Satprday, feeling mighty happy, for a license had just been issued for him to marry Miss Carrie Belle Wil der. Albert is a good boy, and Carrie is a nice girl, a friend of mine, and I hope they may have a life of happi ness and prosperity. Ira Vickers, who has ceen married to one of my chums for two or three years, and has a pretty baby, has just found out that he can’t get along without the Note Book for his wife, and came in Saurday and started it on its way for one year, and now Gussie will feel better. Laura Rice, in a postal dater last Sunday, says: “Uncle Jim, I slept under two blankets last night, people have on overcoats this morning, and I am sitting by a warming stove. I hope we will have some heavy frosts so I can come t 6 see you—don’t you?” Yes, when you start south, let me know in time so I can meet you at Augusta. Georgia Wilcox, down at Stokes ville, in closing a letter to me ast Mon day, says: “I wish I could have gone to Arnie, but it- was' impossible, for I had a rising on my face and could not powder my nose.” lam certainly sor ry she couldn’t come, but no woman can be expected to go anywhere if she cannot powder her nose. Cer tainly not. Mrs. Mamie E. Dennis, Manate'fe, Fla., has written me to send her pa per to Arcadia, and be quick about it. I’m putting a stamp on one, giving it proper directions to her house and letting it slip. She says she is in love with Laura Rice and wants to keep up with her, but just between you and myself I think she is loving your Uncle Jim. Bertha Thompson, down at Way cross, is the right kind of girl. Her fellow asked her if she loveh him ,a few nights ago, and she said: “Yes, Joe, I love you, dearly, but will never marry you until you quit cigarettes and whiskey.” Joe said he woud let no woman rule him, and she replied: “And I let no whiskey and cigarette soak rule me!” A young lady, one of the finest in the world, down near McDonald, writes and says: “I am taking music les sons now, and enjoy them more than going to school.” I am glad to hear that she is taking music, and I am 1 coming down there some time, if I | can get a way, and see if she has im | proved any. If she hasn't there’s go : ing to be some trouble. Sibbett Vickers told me last Sun- I day that two of his father’s mules or j horses had gotten together the night before, some how,, and in a fight one had kicked the other and broken its ribs, and that it was feared the in jured animal could not live. Mr. Vickers has had a good deal of bad luck this year, but it is hoped all will THE DOUGLAS ENTERPRISE, DOUGLAS, GA., SEPTEMBER 4, 1915. ! come out right in the end. The Farmers’ Union is a good in stitution and the farmers want all the j good out of it they can get, and hey I ought to attend the meetings of each local regularly. Being a member does not amount to much, with no attend ance. There are twenty or twenty five members of the Douglas local, and at last Saturday’s meeting only seven were present. That is not much of a rcord. I regretted to learn last Sunday, in Nashville, that Editor Sweat, of the Herald, was ill with typhoid fever. It I is hoped he will soon be well again. I I was pleased, however, to meet his courteous son, Hoke Sweat. I also found another gentleman of the Her ald, whose name has slipped me, but he was a good natured fellow, small, top and bottom, with a waist ine like a bee rkeg. At the Farmers’ Union local at Douglas last Saturday, delegates to the county union in Douglas today, were elected as follows: J. R. Over man and G. B. Eunice, with W. J. Maddox and J. M. Freeman as alter nates. The committees for entertain ment of delegates to the Union Meet- ing today are J. R. Overman, C. T. Darley and J. T. Daughtery. This | committee will look out for entertain ment of delegates. Found a box of cigars on my desk one day last week, inside was a card on which was written, “Compliments of Dan Wall.” That reminds me that I was out at Hebron last year when Dan was a candidate for clerk, and instead of electioneering as the others were doing with the men, he was off in a top buggy with a pretty girl, and I saw at once he was a candidate for matrimony, too. He was successful in both campaigns, as I hope he will ever be in life. The Berrien County Singing Con vention last Sunday, at Nashville, was a big success. There were about sev en classes, with something like one hundred and twenty singers present. The people of Nashville taken care of the visitors, between 1,000 and 1,200 with ease, and every one, that I know of, was well pleased. President Chambliss and Secretary Griffin seem ed to be the right men in the right places. Quite a number of those peo ple are coming to Douglas tomorrow week. Eli Vickers came in Tuesday morn ing much excited, out of breath, and reported that he had seen Seward Lott’s automobile in a ditch, on the side of the road out toward ’Coochee, badly bogged up, and he is afraid someone had told it, if not, he wants to know what in thunder Seward was doing out in that section of country at night, ear bogged up, in the ditch? Eli wants me to investigate, and I am afraid if I do I’ll find out some, thing that Eli and Seward world rather keep qsiet. Believe me, I think Eli wants to turn state’s evi dence! I’ll see Bud Fussell, John Purvis and Dennis Vickers. Mayfe they know. W. H. Purvis, Pearson, Rfd., came in to see me last Tuesday, and informs me that he has picked out and sold three bales of cotton this season, at 8 cents a pound. He has ten children, they all help him, and he gets out 5)00 pounds every day. In two days he has enough seed cotton to make a bale. Mr. and Mrs. Purvis started life down at the very foot. He was a poor boy with no money or friends, but his willing mind and strong arms to help him, and she was an orphan girl, honest and not afraid to work, standing by his side, sharing his ms fortunes and good fortunes, pulling together, and they have raised a fine crop of boys and girls, and every year make good crops of cotton, corn,'etc. Rev. H. M. Meeks, of Nicholls, on August 30th, writes as follows: “Un cle Jim: I send this for the Note Book: I was at Pridgen last week and went to New Hope Saturday to General Meeting Sunday. At the close of the service I left my suit case in the church and went to dinner with M. J. Ferguson, returning to the station called at the church for my suit case, found that it had been re lieved of one pair of pants, I suppose by some one who needed a pair of pants. Now what do you think of that?” The pants were too small for Dennis Vickers, about right for Fer guson, but he was with you and hard ly slipped back and got the pants while you were at dinner. Since I come to think about it, those pants were just about right for J. J. Philips, but if you had on a pair of pants, had a pair in the suit case, that suggests another question: How came you to have two pair of britches at one time ? That’s what I want to know!
