"The Enterprise Covers Every Nook and Cor ner of Coffee County and Then Some” Over 10,000 visitors Here Tuesday - Fair Best Ever EXHIBITS AND MIDWAY BEST IN HISTORY OF ASSOCIATION Tuesday was by far the big day of the fair, from a stand point of attendance. It was cir cus day and the peope were here from everywhere, it seemed. Citizens here estimate the crowds to have numbered from 9,000 to 12,000 people. They began to pour in early in the morning and by 11 o’clock, everything was jammed. The John Robinson circus was all that the people expected. It was a good clean show, and thou sands of people visitied iit during the two performances. As we go to press, the fair is in full sway, and two more days remain for the visitors to see the wonderful exhibits and mid way at the ground.-:.. The v eth er has been fine all the week, but on Wednesday it began to get cold and kept quite a number from the night visits to the fair. The aeroplane flights have been sucessful and have drawn a great number to the grounds. The racing has been good, al though not up to what the man agement desired. Rut the agricultural and poul try exhibits are as fine as ever were displayed at a fair. The ladies department is far ahead of anything they have ever had. To sum it all up, the fair is the best in the history of the Asso ciation, and everybody is visiting it, too. The two first days prov ed to be the biggest, in point of numbers, but every day gives the same amusements.

The Enterprise Publishes the Legal Advertising of the City of Douglas, Cffee County and County Commissioners. v TIFTON LOSES IN GAME HERE BY A SCORE OF 13 TO 6. TIF TON’S FIRST DEFEAT DUR ING THE ENTIRE SEASON. LARGE CROWD PRESENT. The Douglas Aggies romped on jTifton Monday evening on E. D. A. S. campus. The game throughout was full of excite ment and thrills. Both teams played good ball but the Tifton Aggies were a little too overcon fident, having won every game of the season until they w r ere beat en Monday. Neither team scored in the Ist half. In the third quarter Sharpe bucked thirty yards for a touch down and kicked goal. In the same quarter F.CT';;for Tifton got away with a forward pass and ran fifteen yards for touch down but failed to kick goal. Score at the end of third quarter 7t06 in favor of Douglas. In the fourth quarter Sharpe kick ed two of the prettiest field goals from placement that have ever been made in the history of foot ball. whether it be prep or col lege. He would star on most any college foot-ball team in the South. The game ended with the score 13 to 6 in favor of Douglas. Of course everybody that gets beat has to make excuses and if anyone should like to read the excuse Tifton gave for being de feated, read the Tifton Gazette for last Tuesday. If we didn’t know who wrote it we might get offended. The Aggies are going to Nor man Park Monday to play the last game they have this season. r I hey have won every game play ed on the cmpus nd out of the seven played altogether, have won five and have one more to play.

GOES AFTER NICHOLES “NOTA BLES” AND CALVIN “AT KINSON.” Axson, Ga. Nov. 13th. 1916. Editor Enterprise :- I wish to say a few words rela tive to certain articles appear ing in your paper just before the Election, Nov. 7th. They were put out at the last minute, by some Nieholls Notables and The Honorable Senator from the sth. Calvin (Atkinson) Ward, and others. All this stuff was put in your paper at the last moment by these parties in the hope that some stranger might be influ enced by sa::.<~, ; ...id as I was u..- able to reply to them before the Election, I desire to make a few comments on same now. I will preface my remarks by saying it is a pretty sorry bunch that will wait until the Eleventh-Hour to make charges and statemnts knowing that the party they try to injure by same will not have the time and the opporunity to reply to them. As to the Nieholls Noteables 1 will say that if they intended to say that I knew any thing about the writing of the “John Davis” letter they are Liars, and if they intend swear ing that my signature was to the said letter they are Perjurors. Nothing more. As to The Hon orable Senator from the sth., Calvin “Atkinson,” will say that as soon as I can get out enough cotton to pay for some news paper space, (and that will be soon) I shall give to the people of Coffee County this Gentle mans official record, as their Law Maker. I shall also give you a history of his dealings with At kinson county, which he says he “Labored so hal'd for,” and you will agree with me before 1 get through that his name should be Calvin “Atkinson.” Respectfully, CHAS. E. STEWART. HARMONY GROVE SCHOOL HOUSE BURNED News reached the city eary this morning that the Harmony Grove school house, located about nine miles south of Douglas, burned yesterday, the fire or iginating from the flue. The building was new, just completed, and this was the first time that a fire had been made in the heater. The building cost $1,000., and was completely destroyed. Mr. D. M. Douglas asks us to announce that the house will be rebuilt at once and that anyone desiring to assist may send con tributions to him. He also wants all contractors who desire to bid on the new building, to take the matter up with him at Kirkland. $l.OO PER YEAR IN ADVANCE DIIED 3500 SCHOOL CHILDREN ATTEND FAIR IN WEDNESDAY TWO SMALL BLAZES. Two small fires occured in the city within the past week, neith er of them causing much dam age. On last Tuesday morning a small blaze was discovered in the home of Attorney W. A. Wood.

Birn V qupc ULlfcllLU I UilUlfiiU DRAW CROWDS # “The best ever”! That and similar remarks have been heard on the of tlfe Coffee County Fair this week as Con T. Kennedy’s Great Dom inion Shows have pleased every one. They are by for the best, cleanest, and most interesting at tractions ever in this city and the fair management is entitled to the sincere thanks of their patrons, for bringing this big ar ganization to Douglas. The shows arrived here early Monday morning and when Old Sol ushered in Tuesday, the tents and equipment were ready for the big crowd that visited them. The midway presents a pretty and most interesting appearance. The brightly colored show fronts the attractive performers and the courteous attendants all made a most favorable impress ion oi*the fair patrons. Elabor ate and interesting programs were given under each tent and the spectators enjoyed the novel ty of witnessing an excellent performance out-of-doors. All of the shows are conducted on a bus ness like basis and give value lor money received. They were entitled to the patronage they re ceived and those who have not yet visited the pleasure zone, should make the most of the op portunity, as it will be a long time before another show of this size and calibre is secured for the fair here. This is the same company that entertained the people of Macon, Atlanta, Mem phis, Jacksonville, Nashville and e ther southern cities. All of the Kennedy shows are open every afternoon and even ing, and the programs will be £ iven in their entirety Saturday night, just as long as the people remain on the midway and pat ronize the attractions. The Kennedy band, under the direction of Prof. A. U. Eslick, made a big hit here, and their concerts on the streets and at the fair grounds were greatly enjoy- J cd. ; Help Us By telephoning News Items to Numbers 23, 44, or 106. | The rural schools of Coffee [county turned out in great num bers on Wednesday which was [school childrens day at the big [Coffee County Fair. Many es timate the number 3500 school [children alone. The ticket sel lers say that that number were admitted to the grounds Wed nesday, besides their regular paid admissions. All the schools of the county were represented and each school marched to the grounds. It was a great day in Coffee county when all the school children gathered together in one enclos ure. The school exhibits at the grounds are far ahead anything they have ever had. Many ( i pliinems were paid exhib its which would hqve won prizes anywhere. In point of attendance, this day proved to be the second arg cst, and would have gone far ahead of Tuesday, had it not been for the circus scheduled for that date. ■Bill Mayor Pierpont, of Savannah, was Douglas’ distinguished guest on last Thursday. He made an address which was njoyed by a very large audience. The mayor was accompanied by a delegation from Savannah, and the entire crow r d expressed themselves as being pleased with the fair and their entertainment w r hile here. A great many nice things are being said about Mayor Pierpont, and he is making speaking dates everywhere, as his calls are num erous. And, by the way, the Mayor is being groomed, w r e un derstand, as a probable candidate for Governor two years hence. Messrs. Neal, of the Morning News, and Sutlive, of the Press, were in the Mayor’s party, and paid this office a call during their i si ay here. CHIEF STEVENS ON JOB. Chief Stevens and his assist ! ants are to be commended for the splendid order they have had during Fair week. The officers have been very diligent and done everything in their power to keep good order, and it has been up to date. Large delegations of visitors from Broxton, Ambrose, Willa coochee, Pearson, Kirkland. Mc- Donald, Nicholls, Denton and West Green, attended the fair this week. We wish it w r as so we could g£t all their names. Mr. M. F. Simmons, night Po liceman, has resignedto accept the position ol" night engineer at the city water and light plant.
