The Baptist Sunday school will buy an organ in a short time. Don’t forget the picnic at Ram¬ pley’s spring to-morrow. Bring your baskets loaded. Owing to the beautiful weather a small crowd came out to hear the speaking yesterday. rp The Literary Circle has a very in¬ teresting program for to-night. Ev¬ erybody should attend. S. M. Ayers made a trip Ibis week in the interest of his collar factory, and reports good business. Judge A. J. Morris killed three full-grown chicken liaw'ks last Sat¬ urday. Let the good work go on. When Carnesviile gets her railroad and our mineral resources are brought before the eyes of the country old Franklin will begin to hum. J. S. McConnell happened to a painful accident Tuesday. While splitting wood the axe glanced and entered his left leg below the knee, cutting to the bone a gash about 2b inches in length. Asa Westbrook, of this place, is one of the most energetic farmers we know of. lie has a large crop of com and cotton, considering his force of hands, but notwithstanding this, he is now working over his crop the third time with the plow and hoc. -USE- CRAWFORD'S ECZEMA WASH —(SKIN CURA.)— For All Skin Diseases, —FOR— Heat in All Its Stages, — a n d — All Affections of the Scalp.

We hope it will be 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. M e appreciate your letters, and would be glad to hear from you each week. Picture frames at Blackwell’s. Good rains iif most parts of the county. Capt. J. II. Sligh says his water¬ are looking tine. Rev. W. M. Ratnpley speaks of visiting Mississippi soon. J. B. and Miss Minnie McEntire visited Toccoa this week. Carnesviile was well represented at Middle River church Sunday. The whisky drummers continue to get in their work in this town. Several from this section attended the picnic at Danielsvillc last Satur¬ day. S. J. Tribble lias gone to Augusta to attend the drill of the state en¬ campment. The editorial chair of the Harmony Grove Age is now occupied by Col. W. W, Stark. The rivalry between our junior young men is growing very interest¬ ing here of late. Applications are coming in for con¬ tracts to furnish cross-ties for the Carnesviile railroad. Reports from all over the country indicate that the cotton crop is very promising up to date. There is a fine opening for some¬ body to make money in the brick business at this place. Gns King is a hustler. When practice gets dull in the summer he tackles the plow handles. If you want the Carnesviile rail¬ road to move this year’s cotton crop come up and help push the work. A. W. McConnell is now repre¬ senting the Northwestern Insurance company at this place and adjoining territory. Don’t contend for a hundred dol- lavf worth of stock in the railroad, when to give it away will be worth two hundred dollars. Bruce Smith, representing Moore, Marsh & Co., was in town Tuesday, lie is one of the nicest and most re¬ liable men on the road. The Literary Circle will play “Ten Nights in a Barroom” at the court house on July 18th. It goes without saying that it will be a success. The Carnesviile railroad will ben¬ efit every subscriber more than his subscription, so don’t be in the way, but turn over your subscription. Don’t delay the completion of the Carnesviile railroad by' refusing to donate your stock. It’s an invest¬ ment that will pay 100 per cent when donated. The census enumerators cannot collect over $6 for a day’s work, and some of them find thoy have to stop before night or do work that there is no money in. Franklin county does not belong to any column in the congressional table. There are not one hundred men in the county that have decided whom they will vote for. J. J. Rampley speaks of visiting the mountains and remaining several weeks for the benefit of his health. He has been in bad health every since he had measles in the spring. J. P. Adair is the most industrious man in town. He cannot bo pre¬ vailed on to sit down unless it is to draw a note for a reaper, mower, road cart or something else that guar¬ antees a little income. If you haven’t signed away your stock in the Carnesviile railroad, do so at once, and help to hasten the road’s completion. V our stock would be a hindrance to the operating of the road and might be found expen¬ sive to you rather than profitable. What i, Wrong With the Mails'! Our subscribers arc constantly eomplnininy to us that they do rot got their papers. We arc compelled to say that there must be carelessness connected with our mail facilities, for we know that each and every sub¬ scriber’s paper is mailed to bim every week. We know bow unpleasant it is to look for your paper a certain day and not get it, but not to get it at all is not to be endured. Some of ouo subscribers tell us that unless they get their paper more regularly that they will be compelled to stop it, as they cannot afford to pay for it and not get to read it. This state of affairs is not only an injustice to our subscribers, but is also damaging to us, as it Aviil certainly curtail our cir¬ culation. But that that the complaint may not appear too sweeping we will say that the dissatisfaction is not gen¬ eral but only in sections. Wo hope there will be no room for more com¬ plaint. The Literary Circle. Following is the program of the Literary Circle for to-night (Friday). The program will be very interesting and everybody is invited to be pres¬ ent: 1. “Should we have a first-class high school in CavuosviUe? if so, why?”—Col. J. B. Parks, Miss Min¬ nie McEntire, essay. 2. “What effect on the society of the town and community would a first-class high school have?”—1*. 1*. Proffitt and S. 31. Ayers. 3. “To what extent would the Christian religion be benefitted by es¬ tablishing such a school?”—Rev. R. O. B. England. 4. “The political economy of edu¬ cating our children at home.”—C. C. Carson and S. .1. Tribble. 5. “The best method of establish¬ ing and maintaining a first-class high school.”—W. R. Little. J. B. Parks, President. A, N. King, Secretary. Road Cart Given Away. I have concluded to give some ouo man in the next twenty who buys a buggy from me a road cart free. To 1 ' determine who shall get the cart 1 have prepared a list of twenty num¬ I . bers, (from 1 to 20) and whenever I sell a buggy the person buying will, get a chance at the cart free. Judge McKenzie has the lucky number in a sealed envelope in the Ordinary’s of- fice, and no one know., the number except himself. When twenty bug¬ gies are sold the envelope will be opened, and the person whose name is opposite the same number in the envelope will receive the cart. Re¬ member, I will sell buggies at regular price, and will not charge anything extra for the chance at tho cart. A. W. McConnell. A Bogus Census Enumerator. Last Monday tho people of Stranges district wore visited by a negro cen¬ sus enumerator. He worked faith¬ fully all day in the district, and was especially inquisitive as to how much money his subjects had on hand. The citizens who answered his questions became suspicious of his conduct and went in pursuit of him, finding him at night at 3Ir. Robert Neals. We have not heard the particulars, but from tho best information we can gather tbe gentleman of color was bathed iu hickory-withe liniment and seut in another direction. Resolutions. Resolved, That the Carnesviile sub- Alliance, No. 1030, afthr mature deliberation at their regular June meeting, ddcidod tltat the Alliance is non-political, and that they, as an or¬ ganization, would say nothing as to their preference to any political office, and instruct their delegates to the County Alliance to use their influence in said meeting to get the County Alliance to adopt the same measure. W. II. Rampley, President. S. M. Avers, Secretary. Confederate Veterans, Attention! All of the Confederate veterans of Franklin county are requested to be at tho court house in Carnesviile on the first Tuesday in July next, at 2 o’clock, p. m., to transact business pertaining to the reunion on August Cth, next. A full attendance is de¬ sired. J. M. Phillips, Secretary, Camp Millican, Confederate Veterans’ Asso’n. Political Pledges. Avoid political pledges. They arc very much in a fellow’s way some¬ times. You can serve yourself and country more satisfactorily by keep¬ ing yourself at liberty to vote as you please on election day. Subscribe for The Enterprise. The l'oor Gills' College. Messrs. Kuitohs: Lot us reason t got her. It -srely will b.* ad mil ted by all the good people of our county the grave necessity of giving our* selves to the noble work of raising a fund necessary to educate one girl each year at this school, Will moth¬ ers longer bo silent upon this impor¬ tant subject, and see the precious ones, who too often throw themselves away because of an opportunity they would lay hold upon, for the want of means to put their ambitions into ex¬ ecution? They become despondent, and go from bad to worso until their bright hopes are blasted for time and eternity. Strong minded women of our state have been managing to pro¬ cure a home to reform the fallen wo* men of our country. But why not put a barrier between them and the fall by the women of our county em¬ bracing this golden opportunity to organize our county into a Boor Girls’ Industrial Society, and create a fund sufficient to keep at least one of the daughters t f our county into this Jn- dustviii College at Mi Hedge ville? Lot me suggest a plan, but will ac¬ cept a better. Seme start mu t be made. Let the good women of Carnesviile organize themselves into a society to be known as “The Poor Gills’ Indus¬ trial Society,” and send out a circu¬ lar invitation to every church m the county to join them in this good in¬ tention, and insist on every pastor to bring the subject prominently before thc-ir congregations, to form them¬ selves into a society, have a given day set apart for each society so formed at each church, to send up delegates to Carnesviile for the pur- po c of organizing the county, elect officers to preside over the county, and each society organized at the churches be an auxiliary to the parent or county society, then the delegates meet to make a constitution and by¬ laws to govern the whole of the county. I have said in a former article the outlay would bo small. It may ap- pear in the eyes of some to be so tri¬ fling as not to be worth the trouble. Mother, I call upon you to lock to the future of your daughters. Does not every good mother have a wc-il- in her warn: heart to leave a rich legacy, more previous than ru¬ bios, in the education and character of her daughter? How can the w men of our county treat longer thi subject cooly? I have talked with variontsmon on tins subject, and the one conclusion arrived at: that the ladies of our county are put upon trial for the cause of their own sex, and these same gentlemen agree that something will bo done for the gentle sex, who arc never lacking iu so good au en¬ terprise as this. Husbands, don’t read this article and lay the paper aside, never to speak of it, but read it and talk it to your wive and daughters and your neighbors. J. II. Sliuh. Bold Spring, Ga. CROMER’S MILL. Dr. T. J. Crow is having his dwell¬ ing painted. The Enterprise is always a wel¬ come visitor. Rev. Mr. Trimble preached a good sermon at Trinity last Sunday. There is a picnic booked for Cro¬ mer’s 3lill the first Saturday in July. A. P. N. Underwood passed down last Saturday on his way to Madison county to see his best girl. Dr. and Mrs. C. W. Westbrook, of Ua, wore visiting the old folks at home last Saturday and Sunday. Rough Jim Jordan says his brother I)oc is so stingy that ho won’t turn over at night for fear ho will wear out his shirt. .T. I). Cromer happened to a pain¬ ful accident last Saturday. He was thrown from his road cart, and re¬ ceived some severe bruises, but not seriously hurt. A storm passed through tho Double Bridge neighborhood last Friday evening. There was considerable wind, rain and hail, and much dam¬ age was done to the crops. Several outhouses, fences, gardens and trees were blown down. Plow Boy.

Elberton, Ga. r tPP/NCO TT'S MAGAY.INK, with its varittt J-v ami excellent contents, is a library in itself* // 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 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 magazine besides the novel. It docs not follow in old beaten paths,—which is an easy task,—but is perpetually discovering new and pleasant ones, and following them too. The ringing blows which have been struck oh the gateway of popular favor, have resounded through¬ out the entire land, and to day Lippincott's Maga¬ zine stands in the front rank of monthly publications , and is the most voidely-read-astd-talked of publica¬ tion of its kind in the world.
