The editor oi the Elberton Star
was tbe happy recipient of a box of
fine Havana cigars last week, sent
in by some unknown friend. Tiie
Enterprise force all smoke. A
word to the wise unknown friends
suffices.
Our readers will please excuse all
shortcomings this week, The Sen-
ior has been confined to his room
with a spell of sickness, and one man

not to speak of printing minutes and
various other little things that “have-
to” be done, But then a printer
sees a good time. Oli, yes, awfully!
Eastanallee Notes.
It. D. Yow’s mill is in running or
tier again.
M isa Ola Crawford lias been quitt
sick, but is able to bo out again.
Cool nights, frosty mornings, and
warm days, with a pleasant October
breeze.
The wife of Tom Young has been
quite feeble for some time. Her
mother, Mrs. Frank Wheeler, is
nursing her.
Work is plentiful, and tbe average
farmer boy lias a little money to jin¬
gle in his pocket, which makes him
sing and whistle,
“Let the wide world wag,
And I will be gay and happy stiil.”
Messrs. Scott & Kelly are doing a
good business ginning. T. J. Stone-

house with a broad smile on his face.
She admitted that lie was a handsome
young man, though she did not know
who he was. Don’t despair, Bud,
there is a chance for you yet.
What is all this ado about? One
that did not know our people would
think the farmers of Georgia were all
a band of cut throats, dictated to by
McCune, and enforced by Livingston.
the gods of the nation do mut¬
ter when the yeomany rises up in
their might and vindicates the rights
of the people to the government.
Slowly they, the gods, climbs down
from their perch, and calling on the
rocks to shield them and keep them
in power. But every dog has his
day. The bull-terriers have been
barking a long time, but their time is
fulfilled, and the pure, genuine, Si¬
mon-blue will come in, and the par¬
tisan principle that has so long di-
reeled the rank and file, and placed
the barking “fice” in front to be hiss-
ed on by the surely, growling curs
will be things of the past, and history
will repoat itself and right will pre¬
vail. The only hope the farmers
have is that God and right is on their
side, and victory will come despite
the mighty host of the foe. The
prophet in his journey to his prophe¬
cy against the fanners in favor of
their enemies has been met by the
angel, and the ass on which he is rid¬
ing has spoke with man’s voice for¬
bidding his madness, and the true
democracy of Georgia as held by the
farmers will put a pure incorrupable
man m the U. S. Senate, and Gordon
will be kept at home and cared for
by the people, for he has already
seen the star and can rest asured of
the fact that right will prevail.

Col. Winn Pull* Another's Whiskers.
Col. Thomas E. Winn, democratic
nominee for congress in the Ninth, is
somewhat of a slugger.
IIe lias had a fight and whipped
lii.s man.
He did not rush on him with drawn
knife or revolver, hut grasped his op¬
ponent by the whiskers and proceeded
to pound him in true Sullivan style.
The name of his vanquished foe is
R. H. Duncan.
Duncan published an article in the
Ball Ground Independent accusing
the Colonel of cowardice and neglect
of duty.
The Colonel met Duncan and asked
him if he was the author of the ar¬
ticle and if he would back it. Dun¬
can replied in the affirmative.
Quick as a flash the Colonel gath¬
ered Duncan’s long beard with one
hand, while with the other he pounded
him manfully.
The two were separated about tbe
time the Colonel had knocked him
out.
The Colonel told Duncan if he re¬
the offense he would repeat
punishment, and he picked up his
hat, straightened his collar, dusted
his coat, climbed in his buggy and
drove off.
This occurred in Gwinnett county
week.
