The editor and devil of the Har¬
mony Grove Age passed through

Dr. W. P. Harden, of Harmony
Grove, was in town on professional

The Presbyterian church, when

ings.

S. M. Ayers has been improving

most picturesque homes iu town.
Miss Lula Burruss, who is attend¬
ing the Lucy Cobb Institute at Ath¬
ens, received a very painful sprain
last week while going through with
calisthenics.
The citizens of Hart county will
hold a public mass meeting at Hart¬
well on the first Tuesday in June to
devise some plan to select a repre¬
sentative and senator.
The Hartwell Sun agrees with The
Enterprise that our people have not
yet decided for whom they will vote
for Congress, and remarks that Hart
county is the same way.
A Mistrial.
The case of J. J. Patterson, who
assaulted his wife with a knife in
Grant Park in Atlanta last summer,
was found guilty in his first trial and
sent to the penitentiary, but his law¬
yers moued for a new trial, and after
he had served some time in the peni¬
tentiary, they succeeded in getting a
second trial. The case was again
given to the jury and a mistrial was
the result, the jury standing eleven
for conviction and one for acquittal.
He is generally known in this section
as Joe Patterson. He married Dr.
Bell’s daughter, of Atlanta, formerly

EASTANOLLEE.
Cutting wheat will soon be the or¬
der of the day.
Bud worms are still playing havoc
with low land corn.
Mrs. II. N. Kelley is very sick, and
her recovery is doubtful.
Wheat is better than anticipated
when the rust struck it so early.
Fine weather for the farmers to
clean their crops. They are pushing
ahead with a vim to meet the re¬
quirements of the summer harvest.
We visited Shiloh church the third
Sunday, four miles north of Toccoa,
and saw a large number of people
and heard some good singing and
preaching.
There is a tidal wave of the measles
passing over the county just now. G.
E. Herndon contracted them at Toc-
coa. It seems that Toccoa lias be-
come a post of delivery for such vile
stuff as the measles.
G. Stonecypher and M. B. Craw¬
ford are classed among tho thrifty
farmers of our section, living at home
and boarding at the same place, but
it is quite amusing to see Garnet ride
in a road cart. When his mule starts
off in a tilt lie grabs the shaft to se¬
cure himself from falling.
Verily human nature is a strange
thing, and there seems to be as great
a variety of this nature as there are
human beings, and every man is gov¬
erned by his own nature. We have
an illustration of the workings of this
nature before us in the case of Year-
wood’s mule. Just as long as he
could have his own way, going into
every stall, eating all the food from
others, and you kept your hands off
of him, ho was all right, would not
even kick, but the moment you put
your hands on him or undertake to
confine him to a particular stall, he
kicks and kicks till he downs you and
kicks all the planks off the stall, and
then breaks his neck trying to get
out over the sill. Now, some men
are just the same wav’. Just as long
as they have their own way and you
keep hands off, and let them do all
the planning and dictating, they are
all right, but put your hand on them,
or point out one evil in them, and the
fat is in the fire. Sam Jones said if
you throw a rock among a gang of
dogs the one that was hit would be
the one to hollo. The Eastanallee
Alliance threw a rock; it bounded
and hit a fellow, and, oh, my! how he
bow-wowed! Just be quiet. Per¬
haps he is not too old to learn, and if
not, if he will come and go with us
we will do him good, or if his age is
such that he cannot learn, we can
only say 7 , “Father, forgive him, for he
was trained up in this way, and he
cannot help it." Ephraim is joined
to his idols. Luck.

assist in the examination of the grad¬
uating class of that college.
Uncle Bii!y Bowers and his clerks
are quite busy arranging the business
of the census. On June 2d the enu¬
merators will begin their work.
We have been informed that the
Alliance picnic at Franklin Springs
on next Saturday will be a huge af¬
fair. Everybody is going and a good
time is expected.
The concert given by Mrs. Looney
last Friday night was considered
quite a success by all who attended.
We imagine it was quite discouraging
to Mrs. Looney, after so much prep¬
aration, to have so small an audienee.
Surely the people around here don’t
appreciate an entertainment of that
kind. We can safely say that all
who missed it missed a treat.

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 booh form and pay from one
dollar to one dollar and a half for.
Not only that , but with each number you get an
abundance of other contributions, which gives you
a good m igatine besides the novel.
It does not follow iu old beaten paths ,— which is
an easy taste,—but is perpetually discovering new
and pleasant ones, and following them too.
The ringing blows -which have beat struck on the
g tieway of popular favor, have resounded through¬
out ike entire land, and to day Lippincott's Maga¬
