dent. While descending tlie bill just
beyond II. M. 1'. Jackson’s residence
the check-straps broke, allowing tire
wagon to run onto the horse, which,
frightened, began at once
to use his heels. Mr. Calalian was
sitting on the front end of the load,
and receiving a glancing blow upon
his arm from the flying heels, decided
retreat. In his effort to get back
lie fell off in front of the wheel of the
loaded wagon which dashed so near
his bead as to pull bis hair. He bad
promised to take bis little 4-vear-old
boy with him on this trip, but the
the child not being convenient when
he started was left at home. Had
the child gone he perhaps would have
been killed. Ya hoo.

EASTAXOLLKE.
I have been asked to write a local
for Tine Enti rprtsi:. Some one
will ask where Eastanollee is. It is
in Wolf-Pit district; which lies in the
extreme Northern part of the county,
and lias many advantages over other
portions of the county. It has a rail¬
road, two flag stations, one guano de¬
pot, two churches, two ministers, two
school houses nearing completion,
one Alliance lodge, with the prospect
of another in the near future, lias two
grist mills, one flouring mill and
three cotton gins, plenty of good pro¬
ductive land, a genial and hospitable
people with a spirit of enterprise, and
this is destined to become the Eldo¬
rado of the county. I write this as
an introduction to the many locals
from this place. I have arranged the
lens of my telescope so as to see
things as they really are, and will re¬
port the facts as we thus see them,
so as to insure the readers of Tiik
Enterprise it is everything its name
implies. With best w ishes to the pa¬
per and its young editors, we raise
our hat and bow to its success, and
go out with telescope in hand to see
what is going on around us.
