The Juvenile Missionary Society Give a Pleasant Entertainment. The entertainment given at the Methodist church by the Juvenile Missionary Society last Sunday night was a brilliant success. The church, including the chandeliers, was beau¬ tifully decorated with flowers, ever¬ greens, etc. The house was well lighted and everything appeared to advantage. The program was well arrange and everybody acted their part well. The music was of a rare selection and added much to the en¬ joyment of the occasion. Following is the program of the entertainment: Scripture lesson by Rev. R. O. B. England. Singing by congregation. Prayer by Rev. R. O. B. England.

Owing to a change in our publica¬ tion day from Monday to Friday we would ask our correspondents to send in their communications on Tuesday and Wednesday. A railroad around the world is now spoken of. There is much reported sickness in the country. J. M. Carson went to Martin Tues¬ day on business. The sheriff received another board¬ er Saturday night. Mr. Murphy, the insurance man, is doing a nice business in the county. Mr. T. W. Neal has been very sick for several days, but is now improv¬ ing. B. F. Aderhold and J. M. Carson made a business trip to Bowersville Monday. Mr. T. W. Williford and lady vis¬ ited relatives and friends in town this week. The Hartwell Sun of last week is a seven-column, all at home print pa- per. We like it. The editor and devil of the Har¬ mony Grove Age passed through town a few days ago. Dr. W. P. Harden, of Harmony Grove, was in town on professional business Saturday last. The Presbyterian church, when completed, will be the best house of the kind in the county. A. W. McConnell and J. B. Mc- Entire made a business trip to Ilar- moii}’ Grove last week. Rev. P. F. Crawford will deliver the commencement address at Prof. Moss’ school at Lavonia. It is very common to see men drawing diagrams of residences and business in Carnesville just now. Carnesville needs more saw mills and carpenters. The demand for lumber and workmen is increasing. Mr. J. M. Little will build a nice residence this summer. Carnesville is showing up first-rate in new build¬ ings. Miss Emma Kay has returned to her home at Hartwell after visiting her sister, Mrs. P. P. Proffitt, of this place, for some time. R. II. Burruss and Joseph A. Manley left here Sunday to attend the unveiling of the Lee monument at Richmond, Va., the 31st. The Hartwell Sun is urging the people of Hart county to take steps toward the erection of a guano fac¬ tory and cotton seed oil mill. S. M. Ayers has been improving his yard in the way of grading walks, etc., and he will soon have one of the 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 Banks Resolutions of the Farmers' Academy Alliance. The following resolution was unan¬ imously passed at a regular meeting of Farmers’ Academy Alliances Resolved, That we, the members of Farmers’ Academy Alliance, No. 1020, will not help to keep up the Tribune, a paper published in this county, nor any other that is antag¬ onistic to our order; neither will we support any man for oftico who stands in opposition to our order. Resolved, That these resolutions be sent to Tub Enterprise, Toccoa News, and the Southern Alliance Farmer for publication. IV. J. A. Goolsby, President. John Goolsby, Secretary. Our Correspondents. 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. TOMBURRUSSVILLE. Farmers are behind with their work. There is a grwfc deal of sickness in this section. G. G. Gray was married to Miss Durham a few days since. This neighborhood is overstocked with old maids and bachelors. Joe Kelley is the boss fisherman of this section, having caught 3G in about 36 days. There is a certain man in this place that wants to rent out his cotton crop for a pasture. The cut worms arc getting in their work. They have totally destroyed T. O. Burruss’ cotton crop. Elder Auz Holbrook, cob, says the world is coming to an end in 1891. Judging from the way he prays, he is preparing for it. Dave Gillispie is the greatest 1— ah!—story teller in this section. He says he has corn hard enough to shell that was rained this year. Henry. CROMER'S MILL. We have had some good rains. Hud Mitchell is very sick with fo- ver. A Sunday school will l>e organized at Zidon next Sunday. J. T. Smith has bought him a new buggy. Drive slow, Joseph. An infant child of Rev. and Mrs. J. W. Bond died last Monday. Farmers arc in the grass, but are buckling down to it with the hoe. Wheat cutting began in this sec¬ tion last Tuesday, and a sorry crop is expected. Zidon Alliance will picnic with the Royston Alliance at Franklin Springs on tiie 31st. Rev. J. J. Beck preached an inter¬ esting sermon at Zidon last Sunday to a large crowd. ,T. I). Janies, of this section, is con¬ tinually flnstrating the feathery tribe by buying and selling them. W. C. Hall, one of tho leading farmers of this section, reports that he found corn silks the 14th. Three Superior Courts and not a man has been drawn as a grand jury¬ man in Middle River district. A. J. Neal is spoken of by promi¬ nent men in this section as a suitable man to represent this county in the next General Assembly. W. R. Manley claims to be the champion fisherman in this section, lie caught a carp from his lishery in Middle River the other day that weighed 17 pounds. Plow Boy. BOWERSVILLE. Bowersville High School will close on the 25th of June. Rev. Ford McKee filled his ap¬ pointment at the Methodist church last Sunday. Misses Leila Westbrook and Genie Crow, of near Carnesville, visited Bowersville last week. Francis Brown, an old and highly respected gentleman of near here, is very low witli paralysis. J. W. Holbrook lias moved into liis spacious new dwelling, which has just been completed at a cost of near *3,500. Misses Viola Duncan and Mamie Tinehe. two of Elberton’s charming young ladies, attended the concert here last Friday night. Prof. Looney is away this week at the State University, where he will 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. Ell Aytcii. AVALON. News is scarce as hen’s teeth. The first planting of corn is very fine. Politics is the theme of conversa¬ tion at present. Several are complaining of their fruit trees dying. Prayer meeting at Confidence every Wednesday night. Many of the farmers are working over their crops the second time. The Sunday school at Confidence has purchased some new song books. It is thought that the wheat crop will be a great deal better than was expected. Snakes are plentiful just now. One of the boys killed one Sunday even¬ ing that measured six feet in length. The Alliancemen at Eastanallee are working with a will, and seem more determined and energetic than ever. The weather is fine for farming, and the warm days and nights com¬ bined has given cotton a start to grow. The cut worms/ ire playnng havoc with the young cotton iu some parts of this section, and are Lying to ruin the gardens. II. II. Halcomb has the finest gar- den uo have soon. 'J'lie cabbage seem to be full grown, ami the other vegetables are very line. Attend your Alliance mooting reg¬ ularly, and feel proud that you are a member of an order that is redeeming your freedom that has been so long lost, and when you see a friend that does not belong to the order ask him to join you and help work for the good cause.

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¬ zine stands in the front ran k (fmonthly publications, and is the most widely-read-and-talked of publica ¬ tion of its kind in the world.
