Mr. Marett, the cattle buyer, takes a drove out of Franklin about every two weeks. Dr. S. P. Ramplcy and J. Monte¬ video Carson stand alone in Carnes¬ ville as poets. A. W. McConnell and J. Bell .Ale- Entire made a trip to Bowersville Friday on business. Clint Blackwell wants to trade his confectioneries for a bear, and become an itinerant showman. Aliss Minnie MeEntire has returned home, after visiting friends at differ¬ ent points in Georgia and South Car¬ olina. Air. Joseph II. Vickery died at his home in Lavonia last night. Afr. Vickery was probably the wealth¬ iest man in the county. Carnesville is opening up a new street on the North side of the public square. This will cause several nice building lots to be improved. For the sake of humanity, and that the most damnable of trusts now in existence may not prosper, we hope our people will not use any more re¬ fined lard. J. Montevideo Carson has taken contracts to furnish the town in fish, and only has one basket- in the river. Others having baskets in the river had better keep an ere on them. E. J. Costello, traveling salesman for Langston A AA’oodson, Atlanta, gave us a very pleasant call Thurs¬ day and subscribed for The Entkk- 1‘RISE. Bring around your friends, Edward. Ben Adcrhold has rented some land from his father, and is working on the halves. AYe have not yet. found out who will furnish him supplies. He says his prospects are very good. They are always good when a man wants credit. The Atlanta Constitution of a few days ago had a very interesting inter¬ view with “Uncle Billy Bowers.” It also contained an almost perfect pho¬ tograph of L T ncle Billy. Judge Bow¬ ers is unlike most of the Republicans m the South; the people know him to be a man of deep convictions, and honor him for his sincerity in all mat¬ ters of public interest. The Elbertoa Gazette says that the railroad facilities for that town are not satisfactory—that many goods have been standing at Toccoa for days that have not been transferred. Such a state of affairs as this should remind the Richmond A Danville Company that unless they change the Klberton road to a standard guage before the G., C. A N. roads gets there that they will most certainly lose a great deal of freight. Stone CoaL Stone coal has been found on Air. AValton Ginn’s farm, three miles west of Carnesville. The coal is said to be a high grade and burns well. The vein discovered is 20 inches thick, but the depth is not known. A Large Owl. For some time an owl has been making depredations on tlie chicken j roosts around Carnesville, but his, her or its career came to an end last week. R. B. Aloore and J. AV. 4 Wanslev armed themselves eapapie, | and marched boldly forth, determ¬ I ined to slay the midnight marauder and chicken thief. The den was ap¬ proached, and his owlship flew forth, only to meet death at the hands of Air. AVanslcy, who brought him down tlie first shot. They lugged him home, and on measurement was found to he 5 feet 44 inches from tip to tip. This was the largest owl that has been kUled jn thLs section f or gome time, and the hens ca „ I10 w lay on their roosts at night, and sleep peacefully, for tlie owl chicken thief uc<iu» Notice.

Dr. Star, (Ke-ki-ou-kah), the In¬ dian lecturer, who is making a tour through this country in the interest of friendliness toward his people, lect¬ ured at the court house last night. He speaks good English, is well edu¬ cated and has an extraordinarily intel¬ lectual appearance. Owing to the very cold weather and his presence not generally being known the audi¬ ence was comparatively small. The people would have been glad for him to have remained over longer, but his being very hoarse would not per¬ mit. Carnesville will give him a hearty welcome if he should return.
