The Masonic Brick Building and
Three Stocks of Goods Reduced to
Ashes—Noble Work to Save
the Town-Losses, Etc.
Sadness reigns in Carnosville’s bus¬
iness men’s hearts!
Tho Masonic brick building with
its three stores are in ashes 1
Young men who had bright busi¬
ness prospects yesterday have not a
dollar to-day!
Those who lost their goods were
C. B. Wolborn & Bro., W. C. & J.
B. McEntiro and L. J. McConnell.
Tho fire was discovered before day
yesterday morning and the town was
thoroughly aroused at once. The
merchants rushed to their stores to
save their goods, but it wass too late,
for when the doors were bursted open
tho rooms could not be entered on
account of the intensity of the heat
and smoke. When it was seen that
the store rooms and their contents
could not be saved the crowd turned
their attention to tho dwellings ad¬
joining the brick building, and by as
good work as was ever done by men,
considering the disadvantages, they
were saved. At tho east end of the
brick building Mrs. McEn tire’s resi¬
dence looked as if it would certainly
burn, but everybody was determined
to do all they could to save the house
and its contents. A largo force be¬
gan to rush the household goods from
the building into the streets, while
others worked with water and blank¬
ets. At the same time the fight was
being stubbornly fought on the west
end to save the Franklin House. It
looked once that the Franklin House
would be compelled to go when tho
small wooden building occupied by
J. C. Blackwell as a confectionery
caught on fire, but determnined men
were there, and by faithfulness and
judgment they mastered the situa¬
tion. After over an hour’s brave
work by a hundred men and boys
the flames began to sink, and the
people’s hopes to brighten.
The estimated losses are:
Wolborn & Bro., stock, $3,000;
amount on books, $3,000.
W. O. & J. B. McEntiro, $5,000.
L. J. McConnell, $4,500 to $5,000.
Wolborn & Bro. saved none Gf
their stock nor books. W. C. & J.
B. McEntiro saved about $100 or
$150. L. J. McConnell saved from
$25 to $50.
There was no insurance on any¬
thing that was destroyed-
The loss falls heavily, but tho losers
aro all young men with health, and
though this hour may seem gloomy
and distressing, let them lift their
hopes, and strive by honorable meth¬
ods to regain their lost labors, and
all will yet be well.
An Abie Sermon.
On last Wednesday the people of
Carnesville listened to Judge W. F.
Bowers preach one of the ablest ser¬
mons that has been heard in Carnes¬
ville for some time. It was through
the kindness and thoughtfulness of
Rev. J. J. Beck that our people had
the pleasure of hearing Uncle Biily.
The sermon, though from a very
plain and unostentatious man, showed
deep research and high scholarly at¬
tainments. He had the most respect¬
ful hearing, which proves that the
people of Carnesville admire learning
and sincerity.
A Distinguished Compliment.
Governor Gordon did himself and
Franklin county honor in telegraph¬
ing Prof. Morgan If. Looney to take
his place before the veterans reunion
the 6th inst. Gov. Gordon and Prof.
Looney are close friends, and the
Governor know that the Professor’s
ability was equal to the occasion.
We are glad that Franklin can claim
the citizenship of a gentleman whom
Gov. Gordon can safely ask to rep¬
resent him on such occasions.
Bee Mr. J. C. McCarter’s announce¬
ment as a candidate for sheriff of
Franklin county. lie is known to
all of our readers in the county, and
his many friends will be glad to note
his candidacy.

Fodder pulling time will soon be
on us.
Miss Akins, an aged unmarried
lady, died very scddenly one day last
week.
Much sickness throughout the
country. George Kay is very low,
and not expected to live.
The continued rains last week in¬
terfered with the progress of the
meeting at Eastanallco church.
We have had good rains and crops
are line. The only drawback is, cot¬
ton lias gone to weed and will bo too
late.
We aro having a few days of sun¬
shine. Farmers should take advan¬
tage of it and carry out the old adage,
“Make hay while the sun shines.”
The protrantod meeting at Broad
River church was quite interesting.
Elder Stonccyphcr buried nine can¬
didates in baptism the first Sabbath.
S. W. Mosely and family aro visit¬
ing near Carnesville. It is said Sam
almost forgets himself when ho is
out, and commences to enumerate
the people.
The Enterprise failed to put in
its appearance at our office last week.
'The force was “running” last week,
which threw us a day behind. We
will come up to time hereafter. —Eds]
Prof. Busha has one of the most
progressive schools in the county.
The average attendance for the past
has been 90. The children
all advancing very rapidly in
their studies.
The Eastanallco Alliance is cor-
stantly growing, having one or more
to initiate every meeting. They are
ordering the cotton bagging through
the Exchange of the Farmer’s Alli¬
ance of Georgia.
James Isbell died last week and
was buried at Liberty Ilill cemetery.
He leaves a wife and many friends to-
mourn his death. Ilis bereaved wife
has the sympathies, having been mar¬
ried about twelve months.
R, D. Yow is making some im¬
provements at his mill, turning the
creek into a race to convey the water
to the mill. Tom Cannon is blasting
rock for him. “Dick” is one of the
most enterprising men of the county.
He has combined in his business mer¬
chandising, farming, and milling, and
if one could see him with his shoes
off, his pants rolled up to his knees
and in the water at work, they would
no longer wonder at his success in
business. Ifo put in licks to count,
and they pick up cents, and the cents
pick up dollars, and thus it goes.
Among the unpleasant things is
the ill-behavior of a young man at
church, disturbing the people who
congregate to worship God, showing
a mark of disrespect for themselves,
the cause of religion, and casting re¬
flections on their parents. One of
the pleasant things is a young man
who reverences his parents, shows
respect to age and does violoncc to
none. Children, obey your parents,
that you may live long on the earth.
Parents, provoke not your children
to anger, and you will have occasion
for great re?oicing when they grow
up, commanding the respect and es¬
teem of all. VOYAGKR.
The Mails.
Tun Enterprise has received in¬
formation from some of the post of¬
fices where there has been so much
complaint about not getting papers
on time, and conclude that parties
aro carrclcas about calling for their
mail and depend too much on other
people bringing their mail to them.
If you want your mail call for it your¬
self, or have it called for in a busi¬
ness way.

T IPPINCO TT S MAGAZINE, with its varied
and excellent 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 at
you are used to get in book form and pay from out
dollar to one dollar and a half for.
Not only that. but with each number you gel an
abundance of other contributions , which gives you
a good m igazine besides the novel.
It does not follow in old beaten paths.—which is
an easy task,—but is perpetually discovering new
and pleasant ones, andf ollowing them too .
The ringing blows which have been struck on the
gateway of popular favor, have resounded through¬
out the entire land, and to day Lippincott's Magi-
zine stands m the front rank of monthly publications ,
end is the most widely-read-and-la Iked of publica¬
tion of its kind in the world. For full descriptive
