Entginn Helloes.
Enigma, February 1.—.Mr. and
Mrs. Cohen Jones, nee Miss Minnie
Gunn, of Alupaha, visited Enigma
last Saturday and Sunday,
I have not hud time to write this
year. But I have just thoroughly
regulated myself, nnd now the read
ersof the Gazette may look out for
un occasional batch of irregularities
from tlie pen of Regular.
Our farmers are taking advantage
of this beautiful weather and ore now
hard at work preparing for the com
ing crop. I hope they will see the
importance of raising home supplies,
and onlv raise cotton as a surplus.
This is the only plan by which farm
ers can be independent.
It is u great pity that the land
owners do not see tlie importance of
opening up small faunsuml building
neat cottages on thorn, so that men
who want to come and make their
homes in this sect ion of Georgia to
farm could lie accommodated. By
opening up small farms mid building
on them the owners would increaso
the value of the land double and tre
ble, and in case they do not wish to
sell, it would pay handsomely in the
way of rent. Lei every land owner
try the plan this year; it. will lie a
benefit to them ns well ns tlu, coun
try, besides being a great uccotuino
diiliou to those who wish to come
among us.
Prof. 0. L. ChestiuilPfl school here
opened with thirty-two pupils and
there isu fair prospect for the nnm
her to be increased lo fifty. I think
the patrons are well pleased with
Prof. C., and I hope that lie and Ilia
estimable family may have u pleasant
sojourn among us.
Would it not be a good idea for
the people to full buck on the old
plan—do away with publio sohools
und let every man educate bis owf)
children. There are nmo little Reg
ulators lit my house to lie educated,
und 1 am willing to try lo educate
them myself and let wliut. money now
goes to plfblio tchools go lo lessen
taxes. By this means we, in my opin
ion, would relieve ourselves of a con
siderable burden. As it is now, it
takes about all the money we get
from tho public school fund to pay
for books. 1 sent two little Regula
tors to school last year un 1 the comi
ty paid $3.55 of their tuition. This
year J am sending three and chang
ing books every day; this is obliged
to be done, else we get no pay lit ull
from the county although we pay the
tax. Besides all ibis, (lie taxpaying
people of Georgia are educating u
people who scarcely ever pay any tux.
1 suv let every man educate liis own
children, live at home mid be happy.
1 learn iliat Mr. K. V. Ball, who is
in Ailanlu taking a course of medi
cal lectures, lias been quite sick.
Hope lie will soon be uble to resume
his studies.
Mr. M. 11. Murray’s little 4-year
old daughter, Annie Luuric, lias been
quite sick with pneumonia for the
past two weeks, but is now rapidly
improving.
There is very little sickness in this

This line weather will soon put
