Enigma, Sept. 3.—There is no
surer sign of returning prosperity,
than the many buildings being erect
ed throughout the country.
Mr. Schyler, a prominent lumber
man of Brunswick, was in Enigma
last Thursday.
Several of our people attended di
vine services at Flat Creek church
last Sunday.
The Gazette’s subscription list is
growing rapidly in r,his section. Our
people appreciate a good thing when
they see it. ‘
There is not a case of sickness of
any description in Enigma, that we
know of.
While Myron E. Weston whs re
luming from Weston’s mill last Hat-
urday, his horse became frightened
and ran away. A smashed up buggy
wheel, and a few bruises is the only
damage.
Joseph Jearnegun, who was shot
by llcnry Alexander sometime since
was able to come into Enigma last
Saturday.
Our friend Peters, Judge Jno. R.
used for holding the services under.
If we had more of the old time usages
and customs in our religious meet
ings, we believe it would be better.
The old time religion is certainly
more in line with the life of our
Saviour while on earth, than the rigid
formalities of the,present time.
September 1895, dawns upon a
more hopeful and cheerful people
than its predecessor, 1894. The
prospects for the future prosperity
of this country are, indeed much
more encouraging. As an infallible
sign of returning prosperity,' over
1,000,000 factory operators, miners
and other laboring people ■ through
out the United States, have been
given an increase of wages, and this,
too, without any strikes, or demands
made upon the owners, by the work
ing men. Then too, in our own im
mediate section of country, the im
proved condition of affairs, is most
apparent. New buildings are being
reared od every hand. Saw mill men,
naval stores operators, and in fact,
men in every line of industry, are on
the tip-toe of expectancy and hope
fulness. Give us a sound and stable
currency, and careful and able legis
lators in both our state and national
legislatures, and when the new era
of prosperity fully dawns upon us it
will be a permanent fixture.
There are no murders, divorces,
professional sign. Now paint np, Dr.
Gov. Atkinson’s labor day was un
observed here. Everything hum
ming as usual.
Last Sunday night, one of our
boys wishing to play ghost, and
frighten another yonng man, who
had gone to church with bis best
girl, took a sheet and went down the
13. & W. B. It. some distance where
the intended victim was to pass. He
did not wait long before he espied
coming down the track a man. So
the wonld-be joker donned his ghost
ly robe, mid when the man ap
proached he stepped out from his
place of concealment, but lol the vic
tim was not the right man, but Jack,
one of the section hands, who, upon
beholding the terrible apparition be
fore him, immediately drew his gat-
ling-eight ar.d began snapping it at
the ghost, who, hearing the click of
the gun, hastily assumed his natural
voice arid appearance. Fortunately
for the young man, the pistol was
not loaded. It would be the height
of sarcasm to ask, who the laugh is
on.
