THE WRONG SECTION OF LAW.
The Weekly Tribune Floundering in
the Soup.
the The sheriff charges made of by illegality the Tribune against in
regard to his changing his advertise-
ments from that paper to The Kv-
tkhfrisi: are not lounded m truth,
as as the uie law taw was e.minlieil tompiieu with w nn. Here imi
is the law:
See. 3650. No sheriff, coroner, or
other officer, shall change the adver¬
tising connected with his office from
one paper to another without lirst
giving notice o’f his intention to do so
in the paper in which his advertise¬
ment. may have been published.
The notice was given and appeared
in the Tribune under date Friday,
January 3, 1890, and the first issue of
1 he r.N'TEitPiusK was published .Mon¬
day, January 9, 1890, containing the
sheriff’s advertisements. 'The law
only says that the sheriff shall give
notice. It does not, say how long,
and one of the best lawyers in ('arnes-
villc advised that the proceedings of
changing were strictly legal. We re¬
gret that, we wore forced to make this
statement. Enteupuisi:, Jan. 'it 1 .
We do not understand why the
above statement should have been a
source of grief to Mr. McConnell, un¬
less it is a deep-seated sorrow for the
proceedings which made the statement
necessary. The ease of the sinner who
mourns is not a hopeless one. We
commend the following to the careful
consideration of Mr. McConnell and
“one of the best law vers iu Carnes-
ville:”
See. .‘1917. It shall he the duty of
the sheriff and coroners (to publish
weekly for four weeks) in some news¬
paper published in their counties re¬
spectively and if there is no such
paper published in the county, then
iu the nearest newspaper having the
largest or a general circulation in said
county notice of all sales of land and
other property executed by him.”
Did Tiik Kntlhi’hise have the
largest, Franklin or even a general
in county, January!!, 1890?
lias it. the largest or a general circu¬
lation now, three weeks from the date
of its birth? Whenever Mr. McCon¬
nell charges ns with an untruthful
statement, we label the charge “un¬
manly, false,” and send it back to
him. Before we will aim mean blows
at any man, or try to live by crooked
ways, we will step down and out and
acknow ledge that life is too big a
thing for us.—Tribune, Jan. 24.
The section of law quoted by the
Tribune is headed in the Code
“Safes —/ loir advertised'' and not how
notices of changing advertisements
shall be given, as they try to make it
appear. Does the Tribune think that
its readers are simpletons when they
quote law that does not touch the
question at issue, and try to make it.
have a bearing against us. “Did, the
Enterprise have the lare/est or a gen¬
eral circulation /” Does not the
Tribune know that this law lias refer-
eitce to papers published outside of
the county? The law they quoted
plainly shows that any newspaper
published in a county is entitled to
the legal advertisements if tlie* officers
are willing. The law says “ some
newsjMijwr published in the count)/.”
It does not say any particular paper,
but what they used against us is so
plainly the law in regard to papers
published outside of the county that
any person with sense enough to
count their lingers could understand
it. \Ye admit to charge them with
an untruthful statement is “unmanly”
under certain circumstances under
almost all circumst ances—but there
are times when such words are manly,
and nothing else can bo used in their
stead. We could not tell the truth
and make it lighter on them. They
forced us to make it by their half-
hidden personal and untruthful
charges. We wish to state right
here that when we bought our outfit
to enter the newspaper business last
December that we did not know any¬
thing whatever of Miss Ellen Dortch’s
intention to take hold of the Tribune.
At that time her father was the pro¬
prietor and editor of the Tribune—at
least hi« name appeared at the top as
such. The first issue of ThkEntkk-
ritisK appeared almost simultaneously
with the first issue of the Tribune
under its new management. If the
new management had a right to ask
the patronage of the people, «e did
also. Neither of us will long hold a
patronage that we do not serve, and
as for our part we expect to leap
nothing but what we sow. It
thing but pleasant to us to bo en-
gaged in this wrangle, and much
more so on account of the opposition
being a lady.
But. The Exteuiuukk is not the
“precocious child” the Tribune once
dreamed of.
Jie sure and attend the railroad

If you haven’t thought much about
it let us give you our idea of it,.
When this road is completed

try. Our neighboring towns are
pouring all the cold water on the
project that they can command. They

Itliat i we will make inroads into their
territory that will fork in every di¬
rection and strip them bare of a pat¬
ronage that they have held for the
want of competition. When this road
is built C'arnesvillc will get one-half
of Toccoa’s present trade; she will
get one-third of Harmony Grove’s .
she will get one-half of Martin’s, I.a-
vonia’s, the two Jlmversvilles and
Hoyston. This will give us a larger
business than any of them will have
left. Vou say these are wild and ex-
travagant figures. Not at, all. Frank-
Hn county buys two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars worth of goods from
Harmony Grove annually; she buys
an equal amount from Toecoa; she
huvs seventy-five thousand from Av-
alon and Martin; seventy-five tlions-
and from I.avonia; fifty thousand
from the two I’owersvilfcs, and tiltv
thousand from Hoyston, besides
considerable amount that goes to i
Athens. This is about three-quarters |
of a million of dollars. Of course to
make this enormous aggregate we
count, fertilizers, wagons, machinery,
etc. Build this road to Carnesville
and they can’t hold half of it. Wo j j
are in the centre of the whole circle |
and surrounded by the best lands in j
the whole area. We have the county i
site to our advantage. I.et Franklin I I
county’s citizens see that it is their j j
duty to build up their own county in |
preference to others, everything he- j
ing equal, and they arc certain to do
it. We know that our grounds are j
well taken. The land oxvners in and

DON'T LOSE YOUR MEAT.
Valuable Recipes Given by Commis*
gioner Henderson for Saving Meat.
----------
’*• Henderson, Commissioner ot
Agrieulturc, iu a letter to the Consti-

* 01 curing, and icrnoving taint

,ve our readers some of
his best recipes:
For saving when killed in warm
weather—
Kill, cut up and dry salt for forty-
eight hours. Then make a pickle or
brine strong enough to float an egg
or Irish potato, to which add a half
ounce of saltpeter for every hundred
pounds of pork. In this pickle place
fbe meat, turning it over every day
for the first week, every two days for
the second week, and every three or
or four days for the third and fourth
weeks. It is then ready to be hung
up and smoked.
For removing the taint from joints
when they are not too badly tainted—
Make a strong tea of cayenne or
n ‘“ popper, and set to boil, lake
the hums ami shoulders, and
-
opened . the . . joints, . dip ,. them , . the
m
fluid< hohling them in it
faun a half to a minute. After tak-
ing them out, t,I! the opening in
joints with salt and pack away, cov-
ering well with Clean salt.
Method of handling meat
gives indication of taint—-
.Make a strong brine of salaratusin
one pot and a very strong decoction
in another. Set both to boil, and hav¬
ing tin jointed the hams and
j dip then them in the first decoction in the boiling brine and

the covering of joints with a can-
vass, which is sufficiently described
in the following:
When the meat is thoroughly dry

„
‘•You must remember that even¬
ing. I wore a traveling suit, and my
husband was a tall man with black
whiskers.”
••I have married several men with
black whiskers.”
“But don’t you remember, we came
in when you were at supper, and you
asked us to wait in the parlor a few
minutes V”
“I don’t remember it.”
“Don’t you recall how my husband
was very much embarrassed, and du¬
ring the ceremony knocked a vase off
the table near where he was standing?
And then lie apologise right in the
middle of the service, and we all
laughed about it afterward.”
“I don’t remember even that. Other
things like it have happened since.
Can’t you name something else?”
Other little things were mentioned,
and the clergyman hunted up all his
old letters and journals in hopes of
discovering something that would re¬
call the ceremony and enable him to
truthfully identify the widow. But
all iu vain.
Finally the lady with sonic hesita¬
tion and confusion, said: “There is
one tiling that I am sure you cannot
have forgotten. My husband had
driven over from the next town. In
his absent-mindedness he had left
every cent of money at home. Now,
don’t you remember that after the
ceremony he came up to you as if to
hand you the regular fee, and then
instead of doing that, he stammered
and blushed, and finally asked you to
lend him five dollars with which to
pay his hotel bill, promising to return
the money the next day. Surely you
must remember that!”
“Ah, yes, indeed, I remember that
very well!” exclaimed the minister.
And he could not help adding, “I
haven’t seen the money yet.”
The widow received her pension
shortly afterward, and not long after
that the minister received a ten dol¬
lar bill, with the words: “Payment
for good memory .”
How to Treat Strangers.
A Sunday-school missionary in the
West, while addressing a Sunday
school, noticed a little girl, shabbily
dressed and barefooted, shrinking in
a corner, her little sunburned face
hurried in her hands, and sobbing as
if her heart would break. Soon how¬
ever, another little girl, about eleven
years old, got up and went to her,
and, taking her by the hand, led her
toward a brook, she seated her on a
log, and, kneeling beside her, took off
her ragged sun-bonnet; and then dip¬
ping her hand in the water, bathed
her hot eyes and tear stained face,
and smoothed her tangled hair, Talk¬
ing in a cherry manner all the while.
The little one brightened up, the
tears all went, and smiles came creep¬
ing around the rosy mouth.
The missionary stepped forward
and said: “Is that your sister, my
dear?” “No sir,” answered the no¬
ble child, with tender, earnest eyes;
“I have no sister, sir.”
“Oil! one of the neighbors’ chil¬
dren,” replied the missionarya little
school-mate, perhaps?”
“No, sir; she’s a stranger. I do
not know where she came from. I
never saw her before.”
“Then how came you to take her
out and have such a care for her if
you do not know her?”
“Because she was a stranger, sir,
and seemed all alone, and needed
somebody to be kind to her.”

We venture to sav there is not a citizen in the county who does not
want a good Countv Paper, and we further venture to say that “1IIE

lished in Franklin County.
ROME WAS NOT BUILT IN A DAY,
Neither will “THE ENTERPRISE” attain its height of success in
so s hort a time, but if the citizens of Franklin County.will give ns
their patronage we will build up a circulation to almost equal Rome’s
population, and give them a paper that every one will be proud of.
We don’t propose to pander to any sect, society, or organization,
but will publish a straight-forward, Democratic, conservative nexvs-
paper that will tend to build up and further the progress of Franklin
County.
Carnesville will have her railroad completed in a short time, and
already she is awaking from her Rip \ an \\ inkle slumber, and will be
ranked among the thriving, live towns of North-East Georgia, and
with the beginning of her second growth THE ENTERPRISE first
secs the light of day.
To getting out a newsy, live, enterprising and progressive paper we
will devote all of our energy and time, and build up a newspaper that
will be looked for with eager anticipation.
The sections of the whole country which are the most prosperous
are the sections that, have advantage of progressive newspapers. The
newspapers are not only expected to gt\e the news, but it is a part of
their mission to develop the territory into which they go. It shall be
our highest ambition to do service for our section, and hope we will
have the lriendship of the people for our efforts.
