An All-Day Singing.
The singing at the new Baptist
rhureh in Carnesville last Sunday
was one of the most enjoyable occa¬
sions of the season. Prof. Denning-
ton, of Elberton, had an appointment
for an all-day singing, but from some
pause was not able to fill bis appoint¬
ment. But, luckily for the large con¬
gregation that had gathered to hear
the singing, Mr. K. B. Moore was on
hand, as full of music as an egg is of
yolk and white. Mr. Moore is a genius
in music, and ranks foremost among
the singers and organists of North¬
east Georgia. Ho was in fine condi¬
tion, and his strains of eloquence
wafted on the breeze were of the
highest order of songliood. It would
he an injustice to omit the fact that
he was ably assisted in the leading by
Messrs. A. P. N. Underwood and
Milton Cleveland, both of whom are
graceful and easy' leaders. There
were a number of young ladies who
played at the organ while the gentle-
men leaders stood in the centre of
the audience and gestured time in
many and interesting ways, The
day was one crowded with pleasan¬
tries, and everyone left the church
reluctantly, hoping to soon enjoy an¬
other all-day singing as pleasant as
the one just past.
In what respect is the Elberton
Star like the children at a
camp meeting? It his a new
°
dress.

The Enterprise has more an¬
nouncements for county offices than
any paper we have seen. If you want
your announcement read by every
voter in the county, gentleman, put
them in Tiie Enterprise.
The American Union is made up
of as good and wholesome reading
matter as any weekly paper in the
country. To know how to use the
scissors is of as much importance as
to know how to write a good edito¬
rial.
Rev. E. L. Sisk exhibited a live
Texas tarantula in town last week,
also a full grown eentiped, that he
procured while on his trip to the
Baptist convention at Fort Worth.
They were curiosities to “us who
ain’t never seed sieh.”
T. W. Neal and A. XV. McConnell
have been piloting the large Irish¬
man, the man of the illigant voice
and Sepoy mutiny fame, and repre¬
sentative of the “gr’at Nort’western”
life insurance company, for several
days. Misther Marphy is certainly
a sui generis, be dad.
We call the attention of our read¬
ers to the article headed “The Poor
Girls’ College,” written by Capt. J.
If. Sligh. The matter should have
the careful consideration of our citi¬
zens. The foundation of the school
is state appropriation, and Franklin
county pays her pro rata part of this
appropriation and she should reap
her share of the benefits.
A Successful Entertainment.
The entertainment given at the
court house Wednesday night for the
benefit of the Presbyterian church
was successful beyond expectation.
The program was very entertaining
and everybody enjoyed themselves
by contributing in a generous way to
the occasion. In the election for the
most popular young lady Miss Minnie
McEntirc was elected by a large ma¬
jority and carried off the prize, a
beautifully decorated cushion. Sev¬
eral candidates were in the race for
the most handsome young lady, and
after quite a spirited contest Miss
Maude Manley was elected, and
gracefully received the prize, a beau¬
tiful cake. J. B. McEntirc and S. .1.
Tribble entered the race for the hand¬
somest young man, and the race was
quite lively for a time, and some talk
of a dark horse, but the votes were
counted and Mr. Tribble was in the
majority, receiving the prize, a shav¬
ing aparatus, an article he hopes to
need before a great while. Mr. J.
W. Cannon was voted the most pop¬
ular young man in the house, and as
lie has a sweet tooth in his head was
awarded the fourth prize, a handsome
cake. The flower, cake and lemon¬
ade stands were nicely arranged and
netted a nice sum. The door receipts
were very satisfactory. Much of the
success is especially due to the efforts
of Miss Minnie McEntirc, who worked
faithfully to make it pleasant and
remunerative.
.Many thanks are returned to Mr.
J. II. Maxwell for his kindness in
loaning the organ for the benefit of
the entertainment.
Democrats, Attention!

house in Carnesville on the first Tues¬
day in July next to determine when

KASTANOLI.ee.
There is still several eases of meas¬
les in the country. .
Mrs. Anna Fuller is sick, and her
recovery is doubtful.
S. W. Moseley is out as enumera¬
tor, and it is quite a task to littd the
represenative of every family, as they
are scattered over their farms.
A little six-year-old boy of T. J.
Stonoeypher has lost the use of one
of his legs from an unknown cause.
He has not walked a step without
suyport for more than a week.
Thursday, June I>, waa the warm¬
est day of the season. The harvest¬
ers had to retire to the shade, and the
chickens sought protection from the
heat by getting into water. A young
lady hoeing in the field fainted under
the pressure of the heat.
The Kastanallee Alliance is fully
aroused to a sense of its duty, and
deteamined to meet every emergency
and contend for right to the end.
The lodge is cotnpascd of some of
the best workers of the county, keep¬
ing themselves posted with all ques¬
tions of the day. They are prepar¬
ing for a regular alliance picnia, and
as soon as the services of some of the
best speakers is secured the time will
be made public and a general invita¬
tion given to all, whether allianeemeii
or not. The Alliance is setting forth
a noble example worthy of the emu¬
lation of the best, turning out and
helping the sick by working their
crops out for them.
Well, we hear of no public an¬
nouncement of anyone for the legis¬
lature as yet. If some does-not come
out we will declare ourselves, and of
course we will he elected, and when
we get there the first thing we do is
to learn how much money there is
on hagd, make a calculation of how
long we w ill have to stay so as to get
all this money, send out a committee
to confer with the railroads for free
passes, and if there is not a sufficient
amount of money to keep us there as
long as we want to stay will intro¬
duce and pass a bill to collect a spe¬
cial tax on the dogs to pay the hotel
hill. On our return home we will
declare ourselves for congress, and
agree to support every measure fa¬
voring the monopoly, whether con¬
stitutional or not, oppose every meas¬
ure favoring the laboring classes and
the editors of laeal papers or the vil¬
lage and country merchants, have my¬
self appointed to some honorable po¬
sition and have men to call me Gen¬
eral, Major, or some kind of a Jack-
all. 1 will get there, won’t !, Eli?
And men will wonder what all this
dumbfounded business means, having
never done anything to benefit any¬
body. Thus the world wags along,
but the time will come when such
men are not known. Luck.

T IPPINCO TV'S MAGAZINE, with its varied
/v and exitllent contents, is a library 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 from one
doll <r 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 magazine besides the novel.
It does not follow in old beaten paths,—which it
an eisy task, — but is perpetually discovering new
and pleasant ones, and following them loo.
The ringing blows which have been struck on the
g iteway of popular favor, have resounded through¬
out the entire land, and to day Lippi ncott's Mag i-
tine stands in the front rank ofmonthly publications,
and is the most wide ly-rcad-and-ta Iked of publica¬
tion of its kind in the world. Tor full descriptive
