Weathers, of Pearson, was in town last Monday. The Enterprise is not reaching him and he came to know the reason. His name was on the list and he knows now. Old brother Joe Adams says he wasn’t well much this week that he “felt kinder buggy.” H e must im - himself a piece of oid bacon, but he’s good and sound all the same.

Clifford may he a few days the youngest, but her mother is the best looking. Now watch old brother Hamilton swell up with jealousy.

There will be an entertainment at he home of Mr. P. C. Davis, out on route 2, to-night.

Boys going down there to see the girls say they love Peace. E. Todd, of Broxton, was in town Monday, and told me he had paid Mr. Darley a year’s subscription and w'as “coming back home,” that is, he and his family had done without the En- ( terprise and Note Book as long as they could. Dr. Jefferson Wilcox, of Willacoo c’nee, was in town last Tuesday. He does not come to town very often and he does not have an idle moment when he does as his many frierds keep him busy shaking hands and answering questions. One of my correspondents writing ff-om Hortonse, last week, says “a good i many people who were at Satilla j church more than a month ago. ex-! I pected you and your cornet at the. camp meeting last Sunday.” Well, 1 was at the next station 6 miles away. < Weil, we’ve got another printer girl at the Enterprise, and the first fellow I catch fooling around her I’m going to stab in the back with the paste brush. Dog-gone ’em every time we get one so she can work well some | galoot comes along and lures her off to house keeping. Noah Burkett is a quiet, industrious fellow but never has been able to put | up anything for the future, until re- cently when he struck it lucky by get ting a line on a fortune. He came to me about it last Sunday afternoon, I had the young lady brought before me, she was ready for trial, both filed a plea for mercy and I sentenced them for life, and that’s the way Burkett got the fortune, and they’re going to house keeping as soon as they can find | a house just big enough for two. A little girl who was in town last Monday, and lives near Pearson, said j to me, “Uncle Jim, the Pearson Tri -1 bune said some nasty things about '(you last week, so nasty that mother ! wouldn't let me read the paper. What j does he mean?” Not a thing; you | remember seeing the new moon last I weak, don’t you? We l !, the poor fel- ! low goes wrong in his head every i time the new moon comes, talks and I walks in his sleep, bleats like a goat | and imagines himself a B fiat. “Oh, dear,” said the little girl. “I am not j going to Pearson any more on the new I of the moon unless 1 know he’s chain ed.” j The reunion of the Courson family on the 18th of August, a rainy day, j was not as large as usual. Had the good old father William Courson lived, j this would have been his 92nd birth i day. These reunions are held every year by h:s desendants and their j many friends and though he has been j dead several years their love for the i old patriarch is ot dimmed. Mr. T. J. Courson furnished me with a list of attendants hut it was mislaid, to my tegret, and cannot be found. I am Ifcne who knew and loved my good old brother that is gone before, and 1 claim all his children and relatives as my boys and girls. Cod bless cm. My friend Mrs. C. Y«. Corbitt, the c; “big sis” I had, has gone like the nvpst of ’em, and got married last -.vcok, and what I hate about it, is, : I wasn't at the wedding, but I e:,t the Mayor cf Douglas, G. M. ’Stanton, to see that everything was carried out according to hoii and he . ,y„ it was. I reckon it was koo, be cause when he came back to town he couldn't hardly gel out of the car, and was found out he'd tried to eat enough dinner for himself and the city council. It is said “Big Si. ” made a fine looking bride, with her hair all combed and puffed up to beat the band with fresh powder on her nose. Well, I do not happen to know, Mr. Livings ton, the gentleman she married, but he’s all right, and may consider hira- self a lucky fellow for having cap tured the only “Big Sis” I ha'd. and one of the finest ladies in the land for a life time companion.

As I told you while in Atlanta last month, I have been suffering a long time with gastritis, as the doctors call it—really a diseordered stomach with consequent constipation, pains in the shoulders, headache, belching, heart burn, loss of appetite, loss of sleep and fainting spells. For weeks 1 could not sleep on my back. “One week ago, upon recommenda tion c r . friends, who had tried the medicine, I purchased one bottle of Ta 'hie and began taking it. Since my second dose I have suffered none of ’ he-..- troubles to which I refer, anc r ally believe I am going to get per fc tly well and strong again. Won’t that be wonderful at my age Weil certain it is that Taniac is a wonder ful medicine, and you know that I I am not given to ‘puffing’ mere expert i ments and am rather orthordox os tr i materia medica. ' “I shall continue the treatment with ! perfect confidence in the final re -1 suits. . . . (Signed) “FRANK V. EVANS.” Commenting on this splendid in dorsement of Taniac, G. F.
