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 community at present. This line weather will soon put early ganleiiers to preparing their gardens for the spring crop. Rboitlak. Preaching Appointments.

The Georgia Southern mid Florida railroad 1ms just issued a home seek er’s guide ami time tables In pamph let form which comes the nearest our idea of wliut biicIi a publication should be of imything we have ever seen.

The whole comprises u haul-hook of thirty-six embellish ed ami elegantly printed pages. The home-seeker who wants valuable mid truthful information should not fail to get ono of these pamphlets. As mi advertisement of the road mid contiguous country it will also prove invaluable, because those who are led to investigate the information therein given will find it justly und correctly suited. The pictures ure not overdrawn. We ure indebted to Mr. B. G. Lus- seter, the agent of tlie read at Tifton, for a copy, which wo prize very highly. Help Thom. Last week the Bun stated that Captain McCuil had helped more people to purchase homes than per haps any dozen men in the county. It would ho erroiieoj/s to suppose that the gentleman alluded to does not make good money in this why. It is doubtless it source of large income to him, mid he riolily deserves it all. Have you ever thought how profit able to the county it is lo locate even one good, industrious family on a farm? If you have not, sit down and figure it out. You will be asionislicd ut tlie reBiilL^ There is no wuy in whioli capital can lie more profitably invested than in helping worthy people tp become land owners — permanent citizens.
