Carnesville in $20,000 GOES UP IN TI VOLUMES OF SMOKE I 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. « Subscribe for The Enterprise. —----- EAST AN 0 LLEK'M 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.
