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. -USE--- CRAWFORD’S ECZEMA —(SKIN CUBA.)— # Fop All Skin Diseases, —fob— Heat in All Its Stages, — a x d — All Affections of the Scalp. For sale by Du. S. P. Bamplky. LOCAL BREVITIES. To Our Correspondents. Wc hope it will he convenient for our correspondents to send in their communications on Tuesday and Wednesday, as we cannot get them in if they come in as late as Thurs¬ day. We appreciate your letters, and would be glad to hear from you each week. Olive in Carnesville. Hon. .T. T. Olive, of Oglethorpe, candidate for congress from this dis¬ trict, will address the people of this county in the court house at Carnes¬ ville on next Thursday, June 19tli. Picture frames at Blackwell’s. Send in your announcements. Cottou crops arc fine in this section. XV. J. Stowe is quite sick with the measles. J. F. Tabor was up from Lavonia last week. J. J. Rampley has been on the sick list this week. The merchants did a line business last Saturday. Quite a display of electricity last Tuesday night. Prof. A. J. Morris has vacated his school till June 30th. Mrs. Newell, of Mississippi, is vis¬ iting relatives in town. Oiner Little will go oil the road in a few days selling cigars. Mayor Pjoffitt is having the public square improved this week. T. W. Xcal is opening up a farm in the eastern limits of town. N. P. Stonoeypher visited Bowers- ersville this week on business. There will he an all-day singing at Middle river church next Sunday. The census enumerators are attend¬ ing to other people’s business just now. The hot weather doesn’t keep the town from being flooded with drum¬ mers. B. F. Aderhold is having the shin¬ gles sawed to re-cover the Franklin House. Beans, squashes and blackberry pie now constitutes the bill o’ fare of the average citizen. The little child of T. O. Burruss, who has been very sick for some time, is improving. When blackberries are plentiful news is generally scarce in the aver¬ age country weekly. S. J. Tribble is in from the State University', spending vacation with his father and friends. Mrs. J. F. Tabor, of Lavonia, has been visiting relatives and friends in town for the past week. The Elbert county Alliance does not propose to have anything to do with politics as an order. Don’t forget to bring your basket full of eatables to the picnic at liam- pley’s spring on June 21st. R. II. Burruss returned from Vir¬ ginia Tuesday, where he has been visiting relatives aiid friends. If you want tho people to know that you are a candidate put your announcement in The Enterprise. Miss Lizzie Tucker, who has been attending school at one of the La¬ grange colleges, is at home spending vacation with her parents. S. Iv, Cannon has laid aside his old scythes, and now cuts his small grain with a reaper. Mr. Cannon is one of our most enterprising and successful farmers. ,T. C. McConnell bought a Spanish coin from Adolphus Thomason last week that was 122 years old. No doubt the Sheriff values it very high- lv, as we understand he paid a very high price for it. G. XV. Tribble will preach at Cross Itoads church on the fifth Sunday in this month. He will be in from Mer- ccr University in a few days. His j friends around Carnesville have never heard him preach, and nill douF give him a large audience. “Two swallows don’t make a sum¬ mer,” but a summer makes one swul? ^ ni ' khmy ,,i ‘ Mr. S. M. Ayers and Col. W. B. Little made a business trip to Athens Wednesday in the interest of the Carnesville railroafk 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! The citizens of Franklin county arc requested to meet at the court house in Carnesville on the first Tues¬ day in July next to determine when and how to elect delegates to the gubernatorial and congressional dem¬ ocratic conventions, and attend to other matters that may come before the meeting. June 10, 1890. J. B. Tucker, Chairman Dein. Ex. Com. of F. C. The Picnic. All tho surrounding Sunday schools are invited to picnic at Rampley Spring in Carnesville on Saturday the 21st instant. All are requested to bring well-filled baskets, and not only' tho schools but everybody' is re¬ quested to be present and bring their friends and loaded baskets. No blackberry patcl ms are near the spring, and well-filled baskets will be a necessity. To Aspirants for Office. There will be a grand candidates’ j ( | cn | c a t Franklin Springs on Friday, July 4. All candidates for congress, representative, governor, and alloth- cr office seekers, even to matrimonial j candidates, are respectfully invited I to be present. , You will find a good line of buggy harness at A. \V. McConnell’s. 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. CROMER’S MILL. Crops are fine. The wheat is all cut. Zidon has a flourishing Sunday school. Miss Serena Hall visited in Madi- ison county last week. J. M. Nicholson wears a broad gmige smile—it’s a hoy. Miss Love McDaniel will begin her school at Zidon next Monday, 10th. XV. F. Dorsey was in our section a few days ago with a nice lot of jug ware. It is thought that T. O. Burruss will sweep the field in this section for coroner. Jimmie Hall is one of our best young farmers. He has about five acres of cotton knee high. The farmers are well up with their work, except Jim and Uncle Bill, the latter behind on account of lisliing. Prof. J. B. Hall’s school will begin the 23<1 inst. We hope the parents will he ready to start their children on that day. E. P. Phillips, an intelligent young man of this section, announces him¬ self a candidate for matrimony. We wish him much luck. J. I). Cromer sowed 30 bushels of wheat and cut about 7a shocks. Early in the spring he saw that the insects had about destryed his wheat and he sowed the most of the land in oats, and the oats are worth more than the land on which they grew. He says he is done with wheat hut that he is a dear believer in oats. Plow Boy. The Enterprise office is fitted up with new job press and material. All kinds of work done promptly and neatly.

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.
