By I A l. Freeman Col. B. T. Allen, of Pearson, was town last Monday on business. Jim Moncrief, of Pearson, was in wn Monday. Don’t come often. “Sis” trot the fellow at the window, dn’t she? And it was all so quiet, j! Some of those who do not like the w law should carry it up to the < >urts. Myrian Bussell says her fellow is a •od looker. Love hides warts, sun irns and freckles.

I have to take time » be sick now and then whether I like . or not. John Cooksie was in town a few ays ago. I didn’t know where he .ves now but 1 think Mrs. Cooksie i living at Nicholls. Dave Kirland, of B*-oxton, was in ' own last Monday. There were others <-ilh him but they’d rather 1 would t ~iention their names. The from Coochee came over ■> see Josie and Rebecca last Sunday, anged if you can tell which one of ‘lose girls he’s after. William Maine says there will be ..n all day sing at the Vicker’s School (house on the 4th (next) Sunday. *eop!e out there always give you a ood dinner, too.

ORDERS WILL RECEIVE PROMPT ATTENTION AUGUSTA ICE Y LEVERAGE CO. AUGUSTA, GA. ~ r 'I r . - ' •■ . - ■■ i', l Nicholls, .‘■ays she has the advantage of me, that she knows me and I don’t know her. And that is true, for there is only one of me and nearly five (hundred chums. If Edna Fredrickson will send me her address, the Enterprise will be sent to her three months, it is paid for. She can have it now, or wait until she gets a school this fall, just notify me what to dc. The Blystone 'Singing Class will commences practicing for the singing ' convention to be held in this place on .the 2nd Sunday in September, next ! Sunday and every Sunday afternoon there after until the time arrives. My correspondent out on the Nich olls Rfd. No. 1, wrote me a newsy | letter this week, and before 1 could ! use it, was misplaced and I have never been able to find it. I hope she will write me again. Won’t you, Gussie? Two communications this week left out because we do not know who wrote them, one is signal “Sweet Sixteen,” the other “School Boy.” We can’t i print communications unless we know iwho Wrote them. I Mrs. Dan Woods and the baby were !in town las|b Saturday. How Dan Woods ever managed to capture such la wife, is something hard to under | stand. But, then some women get j sorry for a fellow sometimes/ and i marry through sympathy. There will be a big reunion over at jEh Vickers’, Sr.„ next Thursday i Myrian Fussell says, and she also says II must be thee, that I am to make no other promises. I’ll furnish the go if some one will furnish the trans portation. That is a bargain. Two letters from Lucera this week. Now that’s what I call a good chnm. and every time she writes shte claims that I owe her four letters. Well I’ll go out there, lie down on the grass in the shade, and talk to her four hours. If she gets over that I may go again. ■ My old friend, J. C. Knight, an old veteran, of Denton, came to see me last Monday and paid me for the papr to go his way gof one year. He says he is just obliged to have the Note Book, so he can keep up with me. He will find he has a tough job but T. T. Knight will help him. Carl and Hiram Williams, from Stokesville, came to see me last Sat urday, brought me a fine bottle of syrup and Hiram fished down in his pocket and brought out some peach es. Hiram says he's going to bring me some more peaches and Carl may bring me a ham of meat in his pocket. Two young fellows down on Rfd. No. 1 Nicholls, went to see their best girls last Sunday, barefocjtedi. My correspondent says their feet were dirty, anyhow arid their big toes look ed like gopher heads Well, you ought not to make sport of them; ‘ the poor fellows had no socks ar.d their shoes hurt their feet. I understand that Mayor George Stanton will oppose me at the coming ' singing convention for office of Sec retary. He has been mad ever since last September that he didn't run against me then.He is in the cam paign to win, I understand, and may pay as high as two dollars a vote. If he does that I can see my finish right now. TEE DOUGLAS ENTERPRISE, DOUGLAS, GEORGIA, JULY 22 1916 Little girl on Rfd. Kirkand, says ! If I will write regular she will answer every Monday. That’s a bargain, and if j-he don't i’m going to Oberry, then |out to her house, and tell papa Henry how .-he is trying to flirt with me. I 1 have one c.f her letters yet, sayir.g lif I ceme to ©Terry she would meet I me and walk fcacK home with me, Oh. j yes, goodie. Bertha Woods was in town Satur j day with her sister-in-law, and said ! she was coming to see me, but she ! didn’t. But that makes but little dif jferer.ee, I am not surprised, for any i one that has as much trouble with girls about her size, between 16 and | 21 as 1 have is not surprised at any thing they do. There are good and I mean girls in this world, Bertha is one of the good ones. Amanda Joyce, up at Osierfield, j says she “is just able to sit up and write, been having fever, and wants jme to come next Sunday.” All right; wait till I an find my quinine bottle, and package cf ground ginger. Qui nine and ginger is mighty good for fevers, Mandy. Then 1 can sit down side of the bed and rub that ache out of your little head. Poor, dear child; I wish 1 was there right now to give you a dose of quinine. Dave Tanner, of Nicholls, was in town again a few days ago. You re member w T hat he sent some time back about having his wife to load his car for me with roasting ears the next time he came to Douglas. Well sir; he waited until she had gone off somewhere and he slipped off for Douglas, but managed to get back home befoe bis wife did. If that is not whipping the devil around the i stump what would you call r.t. Sometimes you can throw a piece of meat to a hungry dog, he will catch and swallow it and raise his eyes in thanks to you. There’s another spe- Icies of dogs that have only too legs; if you hand one of them a piece of meat and a biscuit, will swallow it with a gulp, look to see where you put the dish with the other victuals you have saved for yourself and chil dren, and if there’s no chance for him to steal it will slink away with a ■ scowl on his covetous face. Lucena Spivey, of Kirkland says, “Uncle Jim—l looked in the well on (June 22nd, and saw a little girl in a black coffin, lam sorry I looked now.” And 1 am sorry you believe in any such foolishness. There was no little girl or coffin in that well, what you saw was a shadow, some reflection in the water. Y 7 ou can take a magnolia, or one other big leaf, split a stick, i fasten the leaf in it, hold it between j some still water and the sun, then hold a mirror or looking glass behind i the leaf and you can see anything you want to imagine. Quit it, Lucena, don’t believe any such foolishness as the little girl in the black coffin. If something is not done, and that j quick, Hart Furniture Company is | gonig to be without a bookeeper. I I am doing my best to keep up with that bock keeper, but thngs begin®o look | mighty shaky. She is only about four : feet seven inches high, and I saw her I last Sunday twice, and each time she was swinging onto a step ladder looking |ing fellow 7 about seven feet long more or less. No use to make her go up stairs to sleep for he can step up to the window' and pull her out. Well, it is all right; let them rip. He car pull her out the wfindow', get his license day before, come down and see me I with the license and a two dollar bill \ and I’ll snap th buckle before he can off his then. Forked Tcunged Slanderers. Some one is always ready to talk dear child and they are not always partisular about telling the truth, either. Many a boy and girl have been made to go with their heads J down, with a heavy heart, because of j rumors that were started by people not as good as themselves, scandal mongers believe these faulsehoodsy or pretend to do so, but God knows a liar and has a warm place in hall for them. Wipe away your tear marks from your face, examine your j heart, know* that your skirts are clean i hold your head up. not down Not w T ith boldness and defance, but with | meekness and a conscience of in no* | cence. The people will see an know, condemnation will be removed and | Christs will say, “neither do I con demn you.” I c n’t that nice; dosen’t iit sound sweet, from His dear lips j but remember, child, He never said | that to a person who He knew had a wicked, sinful heart. No, you could rot help the car breaking down and ; keeping you out on the road, with a :ycur.g man all the afternoon. 1 had an experience of that kind myself or. the 4th of July, yes, you did right ti 'tell me about it. You are r.ot the only girl who has come to me with her troubles, some one comes or w r rites j every week. My ears are open, and my heart is full of sympathy for all that have sorrows of any kind, Ihad them rr- -• if, b; t r.c o: c I:row; it v! L. I N. CONDUCTOR GAINS >8 POUNDS CAPT PARKER—NOW EATS CAB BAGE AND PORK LIKE A SEC TION HAND. “I have got to hand it to that Tar,- lac, fer there is no doubt about it be ing the finest thing ever sold in a drug store for the people that have* any sort of stomach trouble or indi gestion,” said Capt. Eugene Parker, a popular Louisville and Nashville conductor, running beween Birming ham and Montgomery, and who lives at 417 Sixth avenue, lnglenook, a few days ago. “Why, the way it has straightened me out in just a short time,” he can tinued, “is a mistery and it has done for me what nothing else I ever tried would do. I had mighty near got to where I didn’t need to go to the table any more, so far as eating was con cerned, for I couldn’t eat anything after I got there.lf I did, I had to pay dear for it in a little while, for my stomach had about played out alto gether. “There was a coninual soreness in my stomach and I thought sometimes it must be an abcess. My liver never was right and there was not a day but what I had to get something from the drug store for headache and to settle my stomach. I never had much life in me and had fallen off a great deal. I was in a badly run down shape gen-* erally and hardly fit to do my work. “About three weeks ago a friend of mine asked me why I didn’t try this Tanlac, as he had used it and found it to be the very thing he needed, sc I took him up on his sugest’on and stopped at the Anderson Drug Com pany in Ingcinook and bought two bot tles of it, but I must say I never looked for it to do me any good, as so many things had been recommended to me and I tried them all without any bene “Well, I am afraid some people won’t believe it, but it is a fact and I can prove it. After I had used two bottles I weighed and found I had actually gained 18 pounds. It just straightened my stomach out in no time and since I took the first dose I have not had to take anything for a headache. “I have the finest kind cf an appe tite now and can eft anything.
