i One feHw with four good look
ing girls came t see me last Sat-1

Aaron Starling came to town

lie says.
The girl that marries a man
.just to keep him from going to

port to a coward that does not

, years for her sacrifice. Don’t do
it, girls.
j
Unice Sears came to see me
si ust for a moment one day last

THE DOUGLAS ENTERPRISE, DOUGLAS, GEORGIA, APRIL 21, 1917.

be found in the Note Book.
Lias Sapp has been tax re
ceiver two years, and in that
time has fallen away until he

If he continues ot fall away for
i the next four years as he has,
there won’t be shadow enough
left to run for another term.
Alma and Daisey Vickers, two
pretty girls, with their mothers

Mr. B. T. Rutledge, Rfd. No. 1,
dropped in last Saturday to talk
a minute, and said he had all the
milk and vegetables he needed, in
fact, more milk than he could
use, and to show me, was going
to bring me a mess of new irish
potatoes to-day. If he does, that
will be an appreciated treat, and
I’ll hunt around for some meat
skins to season them.
L. M. Passmore, of Zirkle, on
his way to Broxton, where his
wife had been a week visiting
friends and relatives, stopped in
to see me last Tuesday. He says
he is all right now, his wife can
go when she pleases, for he has
two good girls who can house
keep to beat the band. Lucky
man! lam going to go down to
Zii’kle to see them before long.
Misses Mary, Pearl, Winnie
and Anne Bell Sears, four of
them, count ’em, came to see me
last Saturday. Miss Winnei is
form JelT Davis county, and was
on a visit to her relatives. I had
an idea of going fishing, bathing
and boating with Pearl, Mary
and Anna Bell, this summer, but
since seeing them all at one time,
have thought I might be careful
They all heavy-weights and could
duck me before I could wink.
One of my correspondents
keeps books on me. Every time
she writes to me she writes in
her book: “April 2, Uncle Jim, to
one 3 page letter.” When I ans
wer she writes in the same book:
“Rec’d of Uncle Jime one 4 page
letter, (poor stuff) in answer of
April 2nd.” lam going to hire
her little sister to tear up that
old book. “Poor stuff,” ihdeed.
and 1 wrote and tore up that let
ter twice before it would suit me.
Since the Ist of April over one
thousand couples have been mar
ried in Ney York and Chicago, to
say nothing of other places, in
order that the man should be ex
empt form the call of the coun
try for volunteers. Alarmed at
the number of cowards that
would thus shield thousands
from duty, Congress will pass a
law that will make all those new
married people, married since Ist
iof April, subject to conscription.
Mighty good law.
Mrs. Jerry M. Batten, who
lives a few miles south of Doug
las, died last Monday night, un
expectedly from heart failure,
with which she has been afflicted
some time. She leaves a hus
band, several children and many
relatives and friends to mourn
her death. She died the day be
jfore her birthday, but I do not
know her age, but I do know
i that she was a good wife and
mother, and her loved ones will
miss her love and care. The re
mains were interred at the Roy
jal’s church cemetray last Wed
nesday morning.
A young chap from Douglas,
'went down to see his girl, ujst
this side of Nicholls, last Sunday,
and after chatting with her and
-the old folks a while, concluded
That he could get along with her
better in his car. So they put
out, down this road and up this
[one, until the young fellow, so
enthused and happy with his
girl, forgot htat he was on earth,
was with an angel in heaven, and
continued his journey with both |
headlights of his car burning!
and shining with full force. It
Was ine o’clock, they had no din
nerjpbut didn’t need any.
Myrtis Scott, writing from Isa
bela, Ga., last Saturday, says:
“Uncle Jim: Papa’s corn and cot
ton oloked nice a week ago, but
it is in a bad condition now. The
rain and hail storm Friday after
noon drowned it out. and the hail
as large as a half grown peach
beat it almost to the ground. The
cotton suffered more than the
corn, and papa says he will plow
it up and plant the land in corn.
Then, he will have 35 acres in
corn and 10 acres in cotton. 1
am afraid most of the plums
have been beaten off of the trees,
and I will not be able, this year,
to send you the usual box of dam
sel plums. But I hope some ol
your chums will.” Sorry, Myrtis,
to hear of your trouble, but hope
it will turn out right in the end.
Farmers Union To
Meet Atlanta SGon
To the Officers and Members of the
Farmer’s Union of Georgia:
On May the first and second there
will be held a state meeting - of the
Farmer’s Union of Georgia in Atlanta,
Ga., State Capital. I am assured of
large delegations from all sections of
the state already, and I am especially
anxious for as many members as possi
ble to be present. In addition to the
members, I extend a most cordial in
vitation to all farmers and business
men of this state, who are in sympathy
with the Farmer’s Union, to attend.
Just at present we have some ser
ious questions before the people to be
solved. One of the most important
questions before us is that of working
out a Marketing System for the farm
ers of Georgia. We have been study
ing production and scientific farming
for many years. This has met with
great success and I hope this good
work will go on—in fact, it must—but
the time has come when the farmer
must work out a system that will give
him profits as well as products from
his farm.
Since we are confronted with the
boll weevil in Georgia and have had
to substitute other crops for the cot
ton crop, therefore the question of
marketing has become more important
than ever before. It will be necessary
to have an adequate system in order
to dispose of our products at reasona
ble prices.
Arrangements ftre now being made
with some of the foremost agricultural
authorities and experts in preparation
of the program of speakers which will
be announced later.
We want the opinion of our mem
bers and farmers on thisi and OTHER
questions and you are hereby called to
meet on the above date at the above
place at 10 A. M.
Reduced Railroad Fares have al
ready been secured. Oo not fail to
have a good representation from your
Local. J. H. MILLS,
ANDREW J. FLEMING, Pres.
Secretary and Treasurer.
