Sewell passed through Carnes- villc Friday morning with eight bales of cotton, en route for the railroad. The section of Franklin that these gentlemen live in is filled uji with progressive farmers, and surplus cot¬ ton at this season of the year shows that they are becoming independent. Notice.

Merit Nelms and YY’illie YVostbrook came home from Bowersville school Friday to spend a coujjle of days with the “oik folks at home.” There must be money in the chick¬ en business, if two men with a double turnout can live and haul them from this county to Athens, as some are doing.

The wheat crop is ruined with the rust. The fanners are about over their corn, and ready to chop out cotton. YY'e arc having quite a season, as copious showers has been falling for a few days. S. YY'. Mosely feels quite sanguine over his appointment as enumerator for two districts—YYolfjut and Flints- ville. T. II. Farmer is getting to look quite dignified, ns he resemble Major O. A. Bacon. lie has no idea, how¬ ever, of running for Governor. J. C.

Hayes are the champion music leaders of our town, having a good class at Easta¬ nallee church, and sing every second and fourth Sundays. YY'e present the name of Dr. .T, R. Tucker as a suitable man to repre¬ sent Franklin county in the next General Assembly. He is quite un¬ assuming and a perfect gentleman, holding to the adage, “let the office seek the man, and not the man the office.” YY'e are still annoyed by the dogs, and will be as long as the govern¬ ment gives them more protection than the Jews or any other jicrson of foreign build. If we cannot have a tax on them, why not turn them over to the canine breeders and comjiel them to exhibit their worthlessness. The righteous indignation of the farmers is being stirred uj> by the bud worms and moles. They are at work on both corn and cotton. The worms were not so bad in the long ago when our fields and forests were filled with birds, for they destroyed the insect that laved the egg from whence the worm comes. Spare the birds, for they are of incalculable service to us. As to the mole, we cannot tell so much about them. They are an un¬ derground animal, beast or varmint, we know not which. They are eye¬ less and cannot see, and run in the bottom of the furrow in cultivated land. The only remedy we know of to kill them is to jnit Rough on Rats in their roads, or stir the land deep and often. Plant in the loose dirt above the hard bed, as they cannot well run in loose dirt without a solid basis. Lit e. AVALON. Oats are looking fine. W. J, Bryan has the la grippe.

Mrs. Sallie Sparks, who lives near here, is 1 OB years of age. She lias moderate health, ami can walk and visit her nearest neighbors. The farmers are getting along very well with their spring work. Some are having to replant, on account, of some of the cotton dying. The for¬ ward corn looks fine. There will l>e an all-day singing at Eastanallee on the fourth Sunday in June. Profs. J. B. Vaughn and T. W. Pennington, of Elberton, are ex¬ pected to be there. All are invited to be present. A choir was organized at Grover academy, near this place recently. The officers are: 1). S. Smith, presi¬ dent; R. J. Hulsey, vice-jirosidont;- Thos. McMurry, secretary. 'They sing the first and third Sunday after¬ noon in each mouth. W. M. Bryan went to Ebencozcr Sunday and reports having a good time. The music and preaching was tine, and, it. being communion day, a large crowd was present, The church is in a flourishing condition.

Wo wish The Enterprise much success, for it is a good local paper, nicely printed in good style, and pleasant to read. Old Chum. FLINTSVILLE. A good stand of cotton in this sce- tioii. Small grain is completely ruined with rust. Thos. McMurry will teach at Flat Rock Academy. L. II. Crow, who is now in school at Bowersville, will teach the public term of school at Dogwood Springs. YY r e think another light shower will bring up a stand of candidates, and they all seem to have the grij> in the rijjrlit hand. Prof. IL K. Ertzbcrger, of Pros- jieet, was with us last Sunday. 11a speaks well of our little boys and girls in regard to their literary ability. The probability is that Bud Green and Gus Carson will be brought to a speedy justice if seen any more in these parts cm the. business they were on last first Sunday.

L //‘P/ATCOrrS and excellent contents MAGAZINE, , is a library with itsvariet in itself. It was indeed a happy thought to print an entire novel in each number. Not a short novelette , but a long story such as you are used to get in book form and pay frout one dollar to one dollar and a half for. Not only that , but with each number you get an abundance of other conti ibut ons, luhich gives you a good m tgatiue besides the novel. It does not follow in old beaten paths,—which is an easy task,—but is perpetually discovering new and pleasant ones, and following them too.
