THE ENTERPRISE. Organ of Franklin County, I on. J. mcconnei.i. ami uko. s. min u rs, EnirouH ani> PnoriUKTOttf. 4'ARSESV1LI.K, HA., MONDAY, JAN. 13,1*90. REMEMBER THIS. If you owe me anything and don’t find your note or account in the bai¬ liff’s hands, you will save cost by call¬ ing ou me and settling at once. I am compelled to raise money. This is my last call. Take fair warn¬ ing. Resjiectfully, II. M. Freeman. A New Firm in Carnesville. Welborn Bros., consisting of C. R. and W. (i. Welborn, have bought out Adcrhold & Spears. The new firm will occupy the store-room now oc¬ cupied by Adcrhold it Spears. The Welborn boys are young men of good habits and integrity. We wish for them much success in their new line. 4 Representative Men of the Alliance. It was our good fortune a few days since to look on the representative men of the Farmers’ Alliance of Franklin county, and we do not hesi¬ tate to say that they were as intelli¬ gent and determined looking body of men as we ever saw. We have watched their work with much inter¬ est, and are gratified to know that they have done much for the good of their country. We extend to them bur highest regards. We Want It Here. 3Ir. S. 31. Ayers paid a flying visit to Elberton Thursday and returned Friday. He reports the little city as being on a considerable boom, and speaks very highly of her citizens for the open manner in which they re¬ ceived him. We think Mr. Ayers is somewhat interested in establishing a shoo fac tory at Ellierton or Carnesville. We hope he will decide to establish the factory here, as Mr. Ayers is a good judge of business, and makes every¬ thing a success he takes hold of. Carnesville will notallow Elberton to scoop her iu this way. Twelve Feet Under Rock. Bill Connor, a Colored man living with 31 r. John A. Moore, came very nearly losing his life* a few days since while working in a well for 31r. Will 3foore. The wall fell in on and cov¬ ered Iiim twelve feet with rock, as was afterwards ascertained by meas¬ uring the rope covered. As good luck had it the falling rock were im¬ peded by striking the bank before they reached his head, which no doubt saved his life. He was terribly bruised, but was not otherwise injured by his confinement of seven hours under the wall. Our Little Boy*. AVe feel it our duty to speak a few words to the parents of this town in regard to their boys. Our little boys are rude in the fullest sense of the word. They are on hand at every gathering, and do the principal part of the talking, whatever the subject matter may be. We have noticed their bad behavior more particularly at church, Sunday schools, debating societies and the Literary Circle than we have on the streets and public square. AA'e know that it is natural for them to romp and be boisterous, and we like to see them enjoy inno- cent sports, but when it comes to their taking the lead on all occasions we wish to enter our protest, AVe never have a public entertainment of any kind that their inexcusable bad behavior does not detract from its pleasantry. The Carnesville Literary Circle. The Literary Circle held its regu¬ lar meeting at the court house last Friday evening, and was enjoyed by everyone present. The speeches, recitations, dialogues, etc., were very entertaining. The following is the programme for next Friday: Address—A. N. King. Speech—L. .T. McConnell. Recitation—31iss 3lattie 3IcCon- noil.

Local Brevities. After thinking the matter over we have decided not to change our pub¬ lication day, as was stated in our last issue.

Williford, of Harmony Grove, are the guests of our town. AA'e are proud to see them and trust they will consent to make this their future home.

It seems that the Carnesville rail road enterprise is taking on an inter¬ est and a determination, which prom¬ ises to be more thorough and effecual than ever before. It seems to center on one thing; and that is, the road must now be built. Sure enough the prospects are better and brighter than they have been since the road was first named, and it will doubtless be put through this year, if matters con¬ tinue favorable as they are now. - American Union.

ItANIKT.SVir.l.E MONITOR. The political pot is lieginuing to boil. Mr. J. S. Watisloy made 4,000 lbs. of seed cotton on 3 acres of land, about one mile from town, last season. Grandma Loft is, the mother of Mr. Win. Loft is, near Faoli, is recovering from her recent illness. She is about ill years old. Our people are anxious for a cold spell just now, as there are a great many hogs to kill, and the weather is too warm to save them. 3frs. R. E. Fortson has a basket made of broom straw, that she can prove to he nearly 200 years old, and yet it holds feathers all right and will probably do for that purpose for one hundred years more. It is reported that 31r.

The firm of Jordan Bros, of this place, has dissolved and their business hereafter will be conducted by R. P. Jordan, who is successor. We suppose the work for broaden¬ ing the Elberton road will commence in a very short time. AA'e learn that it is to be completed in time for the* business season. S. P. Rond will soon have the new addition to hi; dwelling completed. It will add much to the convenience of his place. The school here under tlm care of Prof. Flavcl Rond is progressing very satisfactorily and successfully. Com¬ mencing only last week, it already numbers an attendance very encour¬ aging, for the season. It is likely to reach 75 or 80 pupils. TOCCOA NEWS. Air. C. Watts of Tugalo, says the wheat fly, in large swarms, are cov¬ ering the wheat fields, and he fears they may do much damage.
