jgf*sL The Note Book is read by 10,000 people every week. Lillie Smith, out on No. 2, says her father is pulling foder this week. Wonder what Ruthie Houze, down at Green Cove Springs, Fla., is doing. The protracted meeting at Saginaw has closed after a weeks ran, with three new members. Willie Teston, on No. 2, went to see his best girl, Myrtice Davis, last Sun day, and had to wade the branch. Supt. Gordon Floyd has moved 'his office to the new City Hall building. Go up the steps, first door to the left. If Fannie Cromer, at Mclntosh Fla., wants to keep in good standing with me she must begin to write me some letters. Messrs Brown and Philips, of Am brose, were in town last Saturday, on their way to Pearson, to the Baptist Association. Lonnie Burkett war, flying around Gertie Adams last Sunday, his best girl didn’t like it and got herself an other fellow. The “Old Lady,” up at Ambrose, has quit me, hasn’t written me a line in a month. Better drop her husband a postal, I guess. Mr. and Mrs. B. L. Davis, of McDon ald Rfd., with Miss DeLuna, were on a visit to relatives in Montgomery county, last week. Annabelle and Josie Dorminy are mighty quiet and still here recently. Wonder what mischief is being hatch ed in their pretty heads. Maud McCullum and Katie Harrin were after the same fellow, last Sun day, over on No. 1. Go it, girls, leap year is running out fast. Clinton Shappell, now in camp at Macon, wrote me a letter last week. He is r.ll right, and I venture to say he’ll make a good soldier. Gaynelle Everett, down at Saginaw, says “she likes the Note Book, all right, hut she would rather have a letter from me.” Just like a girl. Ethel Corthen and Brooks Cribb were trying to fret spoony, out at Mid way, last Sunday. Brooks is begin ing early, but he has selected a pretty girl. Seventeen letters only, by Tuesday morning this week, from nineteen girls enfl one package containing an open cotton 8011, from a frrmcr. What’s wrong, girl* I tr Stf * 1 Eulfl M!ms, over in the Wilcox sec tion, was asking last Sunday “if they had heard anything?” Of course, 1 did, Eula, and you had better put it off until after syrup boiling time. Clara Dent, up on No. 1, is in dan ger of busing her number. She hasn’t been about me in three weeks, you know I am not going to put up with that kind of treatment from any chum. “Wireless,” from New Forest, says Clara Lewis had a new fellow last Sunday. Clara treats the boys ex actly like she does her gloves, changes them to suit the occasion and her fancy. —•— The Courson reunion will be held at Gaskin’s Spring on the 18th of August, the birthday of our good old brother Courson. 1 am going to be there if 1 am living and can find a conveyance. P. ?: TluLhinson was flying around f >-;e Davis, on No. 2, last Sunday. First thing you know she’ll clip his Wings, and send for me to put on the finishing touches. There’s something always in the future. Yes, I am always sorry for an or phan. My wife was an orphan, 1 was too, and when we met and talked the matter over for a while, concluded to adopt each other. We’ve been running an orphan asylum ever since. Mrs. Frank Cato and the baby have returned rfom a visit to relatives up about Norman Park. Scot and Law rence are doing their best to keep Frank from standing on his head, but are having trouble. I started to Zirkle last Sunday, but the conductor thought he knew more about it than 1 did, carried me on to Hcrtense, and I spent two weeks of agony and disappointment in ten hours. And it was not my fault, either. I understand that Mack Wooten has some big snake stones for me. It may be that he has been out to Tom Doug las and Ben Morris’ lard can and lead pipe “tiger,” in the head of the branch, near the old Bristol gin house. Mr. T. J. Holland, of Ambrose, was kind enough t-o notify me, last week, of the progress of a series of inter esting meetings at the new church at that place, with an invitation to ccme up. Sorry 1 could not come. I met some people last Sudsy that Were v "> ' e J ;• - 'C'vsre K.w. ... V It :,c*tca-c. - Kbit® ]B©©lk By J Al. Freeman phone™ 2 > ago. Up to the time of that meeting they were not Christians, hut since then they have been faithful and true, visit from her best fellow last feunday, visit frmo her best fellow last Sunday, and the sight of him gave her sore eyes. If the fellow will chew some dog wood and sweet gum bark and spit a mouthful in her eyes, she’ll be well. Leonard Christopher and good old “Slim Jim” Darley are on the joo again this week, and are making good. Besides getting cut the Enterprise they have turned out some nice job printing. Good notion to pat ’em op the back. Nola and Lottie Meeks, my two pretty chums came to see me last Mon day and brought Mis«es Lizzie and Essie May Davis, of Savannah, with (them. They are on a visit to them for a short while, and I hope they’ll have a nice time. If it isn’t asking too much I would like to know who that fellow is that has been flying arqund Bessie Kight, for the past three Sundays? Nice (fellow, all right, but how does that girl manage to pick out a new, nice (one, all the time? W. W. Lord, at Ambrose, wrote me a postal last week, and wanted to (know “why I couldn’t send his paper, and if I was flirting with the girls so much that I couldn’t attend to my business.” No, my lord, business comes first, and the girls all the time. Rocher Chappel must be going off soon, and hates to leave a certain girl. This is what he is singing, this week “Oh, my darling, I love you, and I know' that you’ll be true.” Seems to me, from that, that some girl has given him a bad case af palpitation of the heart. Twenty-three years ago, I knew' twin sisters, near Hortense, then 4 years old, daughters of Dilworth Mid dleton, and I had the pleasure of meet ing one of them, Mrs. A. R. Adams, at Hortense, last Sunday. The other twin is in South Carolina. lam glad to know they are both doing well. T. A. Saunders, of Dawson, a half brother of Mr. Chappell, was in the city this week, on a visit to his rel atives. He says Dawson is afi e town now, and just to think I was there when the town was laid off, and the railroad had not got there. Come to think about it I’ve been here a few days. •>. AJ* * ' I met Miss Nellie Smith, at Hor tense, last Sunday. She was a stu dent at the Nicholls High School when I met her a year ago, and I was glad to see her. She lives at Need more Ga., and those who are intimate ly acquainted with her says she is a mighty nice girl, and that’s my private opinion publicly expressed. Our old friend, Dilworth Middle ton, of Hortense, Wayne county, died about three weeks ago, but I did not know it until 1 met his daughter and nephew last Sunday. He was a good man, and a faithful member of Par ker’s Christian Worker’s Association One by one the old guard are dropping cut, and in a short time now, all of them will have gone over. Bessie, Ada and Arlie Burkett, promised, when last 1 saw them, to write me the news once a week. 1 would hate to have to tell what I think of grls that won’t write to a fellow when they promise, girls are like fleas you can never locate them, and when you put your finger on her she’s not there. And what I’m talking about, is, they are nearly all the same. Frank and Bud Lindsey, two broth ers, are after two sisters, Mary and Abbie Powell, and were there, Sunday. Mr. Powell says he hopes they’ll hurry up and do something, as he’s tired of feeding two at a time. And it looks like i’m going to get a job over there soon tieing up two girls and two boys at a time. Dog gone, my fees will be $5.00. Go it boys, hurry up, girls. O. W. Griffin, on Rfa. 1, sent me I by mail, last Tuesday morning, a full, open boll of short cotton. He says there is 60 acres of fine cotton, from which this boll wi.s taken, and that a good deal of it is opening. He thinks he will begin picking cotton next week. Corn is fine and he expects to “make enough syrup to supply me for the next year.” Did you happen to notice that quotation. Melvina Strickland, at Waresboro, says, on a card: “1 ha\e a book in my lap, sitting up, for the first time in two weeks, writing to you. I have been si»l with fever, and the Note Book is ich a comfort, for 1 ean hear so much news from it, ivhile I '-*> f.wa-y 'Wi t 'h you could come to set '-ivi V « -t ef y.H- Vf-.’feV. THE DOUGLAS ENTERPRISE, DOUGLAS, GEORGIA, AUG., 5 ISI6. do me good.” Yes, maybe so, and I may come just as soon as I ca find that old quinine bottle. What you reckon Ellen Smith, at Sessoms, will think when she learns that I was on the platform at that place half an hour last Sunday? She is always saying what dreadful things she is going to do to me some times, and I was right there and could have slipped up on her, thrown a bag over her head and carried her off be bore .ghe could squeal. I bet now, after she reads this,' she’ll look under the bed every night before she goes to bed to see if I an. under there. Ellen, Smith, derwn at Sessoms, says she will be in my office some time soon and is going to ramble through my desk until she finds and reads every letter from my girls that can be found. .Now, you see that girl is rubbing the hair the wrong way, for I never let any one see those letters, and if she fools with me I’ll shove her in the big draw in my desk and lock her up. Them I’ll have a gal close to me all the time, and I’ll feed her on sardines and crackers. Come on, Ellen. Prof. H. L. Adams, who has just finished up a sucessful ten days term of a singing school at Sunny Side, was in town Monday. He informs us that he will commence a ten days term at Lumber City next Monday, and will also teach a term of ten days at Wesley Chapel on the 3rd Monday. Prof. Adams is a nice, clean boy, and I am glad to hear of his success, and some of his reasons are that he does not indulge in profanity, use tobacco in any form and knows music. I am not in the habit of writing free puffs, but this young gentleman deserves it. Doliie Freeman is going home with Ruth Mills, who lives up here about Lyons, to-morrow. She is to be gone an indefinite time, if Mr. and Mrs. Mills will keep her that long. I tried to get Ruth to leave me a lock of her hair, or one of her front teeth, as a keep-sake, but she wouldn’t. However, the print cf the toe of her shoe on my right shin remains, and I’ll remember her as one of the nicest little girls I ever kitew and I hope she will come again some time, bring her knitting and remain all day for about a month, and we’ll clean up all of the peach pie, peas and hash. Bill Hursey, of Broxton, C. E. Por ter, Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell Brice, of this place, were at Zirkle last Sunday. There was a big sing there, several classes, and between 250 and 300 peo ple present, many of them Sunday school pupils and teachers. Messrs Passmore, Davis and others, with the assistance of the good ladies of that place had furnished entertainment and one of the best dinners on record for 500 people. Mitchell and Maggie Brice ate so much w’hile they were there that they slept all the way back home. I hate to tell it on ’em, but I can prove it by Doctor Ricketson. Dr. Ricketson, of Broxton, last Sun day, said that if the continued rains of the past month had not cut the corn and cotton crops short the people in this country would have made more than they could have gathered, as in some localities labor is hard to control, especially is this time, of Broxton, since the removal of the big saw mill, for, while the negro men worked at the mill, there were always a good many women and children that could be hired for farm labor. Dr. Ricket son is good authority on most subjects and his opinions are sustained by others, for the prospects for a bumper crop were never better in this sec tion. Minnie Mosley, of Osierfield, says she and two more of her girl friends, were on the train Sunday morning, aw me, “and made it up in their minds that they were going in bathing with me, but when they arrived at St. Simons they, or her father could not find me.” Certainly not, I saw them, and got off the train at Hortense, I never went in washing with girls in my life when they didn’t want to duck me, and if there were two or three of them they came mighty near doing it too. I have not forgotten | those two girls that tripped me up at St. Simons some time ago and sat down on my back to keep me under the water. Doggone some of these girls anyhow. Roxie Purvis, over here close to Lax, on Willacoochee Rfd. 1, wrote to me last Monday. She is living- with 'her grand parentis, Mr. and Mrs. Jacob li’urvis. I take it, but she does not I pay so, that she is an orphan, and she | could not be in better hands. I have J/known Jacob Purvis a long time, as an upright, hor.est man, with a gen erous nature and pleasant face. Roxie says she wants to nee me mighty bad. is fourteen years of age, and then signs herself, “Yours lovingly, Roxie.” Oh. me; when a girl writes me a nice, sweet letter about three pages long, and then signs herself, “Yours loving ly,” 1 feel like I ought to have her close at hand, pull her pretty hear down cn my shoulder, pat it lightly, and say "Arn’t ymu rr.y ,; tt!c bunch of •-wcetr.ess'? , ’ And then she’ll say. : . i,.,J ■‘Vi ,V: :- CJs, If'wuy !
