Somebody went into Judge
Summerall’s meat house recently
j and stole a lot of his fine hams.
I wish I knew who did it; I
(would tell on him if he didn't
'give me half.
Mary, Bettie and Emma Mc
j Govern never writes me a ilne
! from Florida. 1 was afraid they
!would got all stuck up if they
| moved away where 1 could not
keep an eye on them.
I have just gotten well of my
carbuncles and now I have taken
the worst kind of a cold. If it
isn’t one thing it is another, and

I have just found out that J

Josh Smith, up here at Wray,
was down het( last week kick
ing up a fuss about the Enter
prise. He has read the Note
Book and ate his wife’s good
cooking until he’s about as wide
as long, and can’t Itk-k very high.
Bless his old heart.
I wish Cora and Tommie Eight
had been here last Wednesday,
so I could have carried them to
the show at the Grand. I never
like to go to a show with just
one girl, for it requires two to
keep me balanced.
Thelma and Emma Bledsoe,
down near Nicholls, are two of
my new chums, and hanged if
both of ’em arn’t trying to flirt
with me. They write mighty
sweet letters and are mighty
sweet girls.
Mortis Floyd, of Ware county,
wrote me a letter last week and
signed herself “your sweetheart.’
Now, jiere, gal, you are getting
too dog-gone familiar. But I
forgive you this time.
Prof. J. M. Thrash, of the agri
cultural school at Tifton now,
but formerly of Douglas, sent in
his subscription this week for
1917. He has a great many
friends here and he wants to
keep tab on them.
The yellow Ford seems to be
making trips every other const
ant to Piedmont and other neigh
borhoods, and I beileve the girls
like the driver. Now, boys, it
would be mean for all of you to
have youv car painted yellow.
The “old lady,” up at Ambrose
must be making sausages or
piecing up quilt scraps. No
Yes, Ma'am; and you don’t
have to take it for granted, either.
You can prove the first by taste,
and the second by arithmetic.
Buy a can of Luzianne. Use
half the quantity you ordinarily
would. If it doesn’t go farther
and taste better than other coffee
at the price, tell the man who
sold it to you and he’ll give you
back your money. Make no
mistake, Luzianne is great coffee
—exceeding great. Ask for
profit-sharing catalog.
THE DOUGLAS ENTERPRISE. DC UGLAS, GEORGIA, FE8.17, 1917.
letter in two weeks. Guess I’ll
(drop her husband a postal, and
tell him how unreliable she is
1 getting to be.
Trixie Everett, down at Sagi
. naw, did write me this week and
; signed herself “your cross-eyed
jehum.” Being cross-eyed does
not make any difference. I love
her just as much as I would if
she was straight-eyed.
Mrs. M mie Boland formerly
Mrs. Minnie Well, was in !.■ v n
last week, and told me that she
and her hu; laud are going to
Texas some U •,.? .-oqn. 1 r j . el
to learn that Mr. Boland ivu been
!very sick recently,
j Mattie Saulsbury, down at
jFolkston, says “the cold weath
er has killed everything in the
; fields down where she lives and
i came near freezing her, too.”
‘She will thau out as soon as she
(sees her felolw but the crops
must be replanted.
Lizzie and William Harper
icame to see me last Saturday.
(They live out in the Sears school
| house neighborhood. I couldn’t
I find out anything from Lizzie
but I think William was looking
ariund for a certain girl whose
name I am not going to tell.
The Piedmont School Notes
found their way to us this week,
and are interesting. Mabel Bost
wick and Nettie Smith have a
lne Smith have a Ine school over
there. First thing you know I
am going over there to see those
Piedmont girls and boys.
The next time those Piedmont
girls write to the Enterprise, and
use both sides of the sheet they
ill never hear of their letter
; ..j tore. They may write to the
i ; .an with the yellow car that
way, but it won’t do here. Hear,
girls ?
One reason the girls like to go
to the show with me in cold wea
ther, is because I wear my over
coat, with a pint of peanuts in
one pocket and a half pound of
raisins in the other. I sit be
tween them, and the noise they
make chewing is something like
a lot of rats in a barrel of dry
peas.
Mr. P. L. Walden, who lives
upon route 1, was in town last
Saturday, bought some shoes,
pants, hats and other goods, had
them wrapped up and put in his
buggy and lost them somewhere
on the route before he reached
home. He would be glad if the
finder would leave the bundle at
The Boston Store.
David and Mrs. Duglas were
in town last week, and after he
had fooled around town a good
long time, wanted to go home,
but could not find Mrs. Douglas,
he put out for my office. He
didn’t find her there, either, for
I was up on Ward street, Sallie
had given me a pint of sweet
milk and I taken some time in
put ting it where it would do the
most good.
i Misses Johnson and Currie,
the efficient teachers at Rocky
Pond, called mo up last week, ana
isaid for me to announce that
they would a box supper on
The 15th, and that everybody
was invited, but didn't one time
invite me. Isn’t that a pretty
way to treat a fellow about my
Isize. And if I had gone I would
have bought five dollars worth
of boxes and at uown between
I them and we’d eat the last
! crumb. I may get my dander
up and not got next time, but
will tell the public.
Henry Vickers, Sr., says he is
tired of hearing of men killing
jone another for their wives. I
am too, but it will go on as long
as the devil and whiskey runs
loose. They both ought to be
! killed, but talking and writing
about these crimes does not seem
to do any good.
Three girls, Bessie Massey,
Olive Smith and Jane Beasley, all
at St. Marys, Ga., want to know
if 1 will have them as chums.
They give their ages in the way
their names appear, 17, 18, 19.
They want to know if I can send
them a Georgia boy for a sweet
heart. I’ll speak to the gentle
man with the yellow car.
That Barrow’s School corres
pondent, a good one too, invites
me to come down there and spend
“a rainy day with her again.”
That word “again” makes it ap
pear that I have been down there
already, and first thing she
knows I will come, and then she
can say come again. She need
not think I don’t know her, and
she is just about the size girl 1
would like to go fishing with and
push off of the foot log.
Sheriff Tanner opened 550
flasks, pints and half pints, of
confiscated whiskey into the sew
er at the intersection of Peter
son and Ward last Tues
day. This was the whiskey cap
tured two or three weeks ago
with Mr. L. H. Bennett and wife
between this place and Nicholls.
This was about one hundred gal-
lons that was run through the
sewer to the fishes, enough to
put the finney tribe of Twenty
and Seventeen mile creeks on a
general tare. Some of the boys
looked like they would like to be
a fish for a day or two.
I am informed that a certain
judge says the only way he sees
to break up this whiskey selling
business is to sentence every one
convicted to the chaingang with
out any fine, except enough to
pay costs. The code gives him
that privilege, “But,” says a
smart young man, “if I am sen
tenced to the gang, I’ll never pay
the costs.” The smart young
man did not know that the Judge
had the sentence written, “12
months on the chaingang and all
costs, or if the costs are not paid,
18 months on the gang.”
Did not hear anything from
“Unde Abe,” of Broxton, last
week. Wonder if our old friend
has been frozen over, or if his
good wife, who has been afflicted
with cancer, has grown worse?
He is having a goo'd deal of
trouble now, as well as myself,
being old and unable to work,
with sickness in his family, his
friends should help him. He
was a brave gallant soldier in the
hour when men’s souls were
tried, and now in the evening of
life as the sun is getting low,
kind words and helping hands
will make life brighter.
