and after taking lessons awarded the
. of „ dollar , „ and ... free tuition , ...___. to
prize one
Dr. S..P. Rampley, as one who had
made the most improvement. Dur-
big the recesses the young people en-
joyed themselves to the fullest ex-
Toward the close of the even-
in S several^speeches were made by
s0,nc °i* tilC class and visitors. H
was very much regretted that the or-
ator 0 f the occasion, Col. B. F. Camp,
was unable to be present. Every

Franklin’s Game.
The boys in the settlement of S.
K. Cannon and J. W. Morgan killed
one day last week while the river
was up 1H3 rabbits, the tune con¬
sumed said to be only forty minutes.
This is a very long rabbit tale, con¬
sidering they have such a short tail.
Also at the same time but a different
place Mr. David Hall killed one large
mud turtle, eleven rabbits, one squir¬
rel and one snipe. It would have
been no trouble for him to have
killed many more rabbits, but he
wanted a variety.
Schools and Teachers.
In our next issue we will publish
some instructive letters ami extracts

peared in The Enterprise under
date February IT, and headed “Our
Schools and Teachers.” Among
them will be a letter from Prof. G.
W. Glenn, principal of the Elberton
Institute. We hope to he able to
give our readers a series of letters
from this popular educator.

A TRIP TO HAWKINSVILLE.
A Large Delegation of Farmers Meet
in Convention.
Editors Enterprise: I will give
you a brief sketch of our recent trip
to Ilawkinsville to attend the State
Agricultural Association. The dele¬
gation was met at the depot by the
good people in and around Ilawkins-
villc and were all assigned to the
very best places to eat and sleep free
ot charge. Mr. W. H. Rampley
and myself were assigned to a restau¬
rant for dinner and found everything
o. k. After dinner Mr. Rampley and
I separated. I soon met Mr. Joe
Anderson, who “knows all the ropes,”
and he showed me over the city. lie
gave me a sack of fine cotton seed.
I intend to spread myself- and make
as large a yield as possible from 1 %
bushels, and give my Alliance friends
seed enough to get them started with
the African cotton. Later in the af¬
ternoon I met Mr. Henry Anderson
with a.nice double phaeton, begging
for at least four delegates to go with
him to his home, four miles in the
country. As I liked the country and
wanted to see more of it, I with one
other accepted. Behind two fleet
horses wo sped along and soon came
to t he large commodious residence of
Mr. Anderson, and were conducted
to his well-furnished parlor, where
We were warmly welcomed by his
splendid lady and little son. Mrs.
Anderson, after a short pleasant con¬
versation, excused herself so as to
look after supper. The bell soon
rang and we were invited to a table
artistically decorated and well ladun-
ed with the choicest eatables. Mr.
Anderson has a fine plantation of
1,000 acres in one body. He makes
20 bales of cotton to the mule, culti¬
vating 40 to 50 acres inclusive to the
mule. Mr. and Mrs. Anderson each
have a heart as big as a camp-meet¬
ing. By the way I must say that I
met one of the most clever Dutch-
men in this broad land. Mr. II. An-
derson and myself took dinner with
him. His mime is It. Mannheim and
he lives in Kowkinsvillc. The table
was magnificently arranged, and ev¬
erything compared favorably with
our banquet at the Kimball House.
.Mrs. Mannheim lias a splendid garden
and beautiful flower yard. 1 never
enjoyed a trip better; it was alto¬
gether lovely.
By the way, Brother Ramplej’ got
lost. I can’t say as to how lie enjoy¬
ed the trip; he must speak for him¬
self. I know one thing, there was
nothing to prevent any one from hav¬
ing a good time.
God bless the people of Hawkins-
ville and Pulaski county!
