Several of our young dudes attend¬ ed the singing convention at Cross Roads last Sunday, among them G. P. Gary, one of the handsomest young- men of this place. One of our young men that wears a derby bat about the size of a half bushel is afraid to bow to the girls for fear lie will drop it and get it a little soiled. I would advise him to buy * straw hat and use his derby to meas¬ ure wheat. Death to high prices! Welborn & Bro. are slaughtering prices on boots and shoes. There is no tabacco on the market for 33 1-3 cents per pound that will equal the Old Dominion. Found at the Enterprise Store. Confederate Veteran cigar is the best 5-center on the market.

Rampley has been sick with the grip, but he is about straight again. J. W. Wright, of Wilkes, a former merchant of C’arnesville, was in town last week. The Elberton Star should not credit the compliments we pay them to other papers. Farmers are behind with their work but are getting a move on things when the weather will admit. The public square should have the immediate attention of the town council. It is in a disgraceful con¬ dition. The Enterprise Store has been moved to the east room in the Ala- sonic building, their old quarters be¬ ing too small. J. C. McConnell lias been confined to his bed since Saturday. He is suffering with a severe cold aud other .complications. Coroner TI. IT. Haros died at his home Friday night. Mr. Hayes was a faithful officer, and had the respect of All who knew him. Messrs. J.

The house was occupied by Mr. B. Bohanon. Horseback rides and buggy drives are becoming favorite out-door pas¬ time with our young people. The belles and gallant beaux were out driving in full force Sunday afternoon. Carnesville lias been much in need of another doctor for the last two weeks. Part of our number have been sick themselves and not able to attend many calls for their service in the country. Mr. J. D. Allen, living near town/ owns owns one of the oldest buggies we know of. lie bought it in Wil- liamston, X. in 1866, and has been! using it regularly ever since. It is now better than most of the buggies now that have been in use six months,’ From the gallant manner in which the young Americans were driving around with their girls Sunday after¬ noon it is evident they have a mo¬ nopoly of the young ladies and our bachelors are left.

Semi-Annual Singing Convention. Last Sunday, in company with sev¬ eral of the best looking young ladies of Bowersville, wo started on our way to Cross Roads church, in Hart county, where the semi-annual sing¬ ing convention was in session. After an hour’s drive we arrived at the church, where we found a large crowd assembled, and after listening attentively to some tine music the hour for dinner was announced. The good people had not forgotten to bring a bounty of 'good things to eat, which made that hour pass off very pleasantly. In the afternoon we met Prof. Dennington, an accom¬ plished gentleman from Texas, now of F.lberton, one of the sweetest sing- era we ever heard. Wc also met Prof. Vaughn, who was as cheerful and musical as ever. At 1 o’clock we again assembled in the house, and after some fine music, we were dis¬ missed and returned home, wishing such occasions would come oftener. L. II. C. A Word About the Presentments. Our readers may be suprisfM in not finding the presentments of the last grand jury in this week’s Entkri’Iusk. A committee from the grand jury came to see us to know how much it would cost to have them published in The Enterprise. We said to them as there was another paper here, and and they would likely want them to appear in both, we would publish them for half price. The committee went to see the other paper, and from some cause that- paper saw proper to publish them fo^ nothing rather than take them for less than the regular price. The committee saw proper to have them published for nothing if they could get it done, and that ac¬ counts for their not appearing iu this paper. Directors Meet. The directors of the Carnesvillo railroad met Saturday evening, the 5th inst. A committee was appoint¬ ed to confer with the R. and I*, au¬ thorities without delay to find out promptly and definitely what part that company is willing to do in com¬ pleting the road. Our Correspondents. EASTAXOLLEE. Miss Tabor Ilorndon, of near Carnesville, is visiting her brother near here. The oats and wheat have stood the cold weather and are looking quite promising. ITow is it there is no Sabbath school at the Eastanallee church? Will the pastor please answer? Mr. Sanford Busha has out, an ar¬ ticle for a public school at the new academy. He comes well recom¬ mended as a teacher. We bad the heaviest wind and rain the night of March 27th of this season. Considerable damage has been done to tlie lands. An all-day union singing was held at Eastanallee the fifth Sabbath in March, and the attendance was large. The music leaders seem to be much enthused at the advance being made in vocal and instrumental music. There are less purchases being made this season iu the way of pro¬ visions than for many years. There seems to be no western corn on the market so far, The large amount of com grown in the fertile valley of the Tugalo furnishes plenty and sup¬ plies the less thrifty corn producers. The farmers are progressing finely with their work, despite the bad weather, having put in nearly all their guano, corn is being planted, iand by the fifteenth will be planting (cotton seed. The seed will be very scarce, as the high price offered last fall by the mills caused too many to bo sold The Eastanallee sub-Alliancc is moving along in business, looking for¬ ward to the best interests of the county, mainly financially. The un¬ derlying principle is rigid economy, make all home supplies possible, buy less from abroad, go in debt as little as possible, live at home, and every man attend to his own business and let everyone else’s alone. Messrs. T. J. Stonecypher, 8. W. Moseley, ll. R. Smith and II. X. Kelley repre¬ sented the lodge as delegated to the County Alliance at Carnesville the first Wednesday. The Toccoa News is trying to boom j up a canning factory, and tlie citi- zens of that place ought to lend a helping hand. Such an enterprise would be a paving one, and a great help to the people of the upper part of Franklin county, giving , employ¬ ment to the women and children in truck farming, enabling them to make money enough to supply all their de¬ mands. One of the great drawbacks in our county is the lack of a market to sell such commodities as tomatoes, cucubers, onions, potatoes, peaches, apples, and other things that might be raised in the garden. We have railroads, but the arrangements by our merchants for shipping chickens, eggs, butter, etc., to other markets is very poor, and proves a great draw¬ back to the country people who would profit by raising many things they do not by reason of a lack of a market. Emin Pasha. BOWERSVILLE. We hear of several cases of measles in town. Lee Ayers, of Hartwell, has been in town several days. T. M. Maret is in the employ of a feather renovating company. Miss Susie Cook, who has been vis¬ iting relatives in South Carolina, has returned home. Prof. Flavel Bond is attending the Bowersville school during the vaca- tion-of his school. We are indebted to Prof, and Mrs. Looney for the fine music given us at the academy Friday eveuu.g. Prof. Looney’s lecture at the acad¬ emy last Saturday was interesting. His subject was: “.Man yields to habit as he bows to fate.” Jesse Hilliard, who has been taking a business course in the Lexington Business College, has returned home. Mr. II. is an intelligent young man, and we wish him much success. Ell Aythi. The Enterprise office is fitted up with new job press and material. All kinds of work done promptly and neatly. OUR NEIGHBORS. What the People Are Doing in Our Sister Towns. HARTWELL St'.Vi Rev. J. T. Vernon failed to meet his appointment, in Hartwell last Sun¬ day on account of illness. ■ .T. D. Turner, a rising young bar¬ rister of the law, has greatly im¬ proved the appearance of the front of his office by putting up new col¬ umns and balusters. Mr. John L. Thornton planted one acre of cotton on. the 15th of May last year, and by fertilizing well and cultivating fast made 700 pounds of lint cotton, and for which he realized above all expenses more.than §50. Jim Roberts made a splendid horse swap while at Carnesville court week. One thing seems to trouble Jim—he says he forgot to tell the 'man he traded with that his horse was a stump-sucker and hadn’t been wean- cd. Wonder if tlic gentleman forgot to tell Jim something? TOCCOA NEWS. The bank vault is being put in po¬ sition this week. We are sorry to learn of the illness of Rev. Mr. Whitman, who is having a severe attack of la grippe. Capt. Moseley’s broken leg is heal¬ ing. He is able to walk around in his room, and we hope to see him on the streets again soon. About fifty colored men and boys of all sizes and ages left Tuesday for Elberton to commence work on the new railroad which passes through that place. BUSINESS LOCALS.
