It is very plain and simple for a
mail to sit up and criticise a news¬
paper, but it is quite a different
thing to run one—especially when
you have all the type to “set," your
water to “tote,” wood to chop and
fires to build, to say nothing of is-
iiumberable et ceters.—Juueition
City (Tex.,) Clipper.
All go to Andersonville to-mor¬
row on the excursion.
Dear Enterprise: The con-
gressional pot has begun to bubble
and it seems as if this District is di¬
vided, and that discovery has just
been made. We thought that our
District was solid because we have
one common interest, and if Hon.
C. F. Crisp is a good man for this
side of the “river,” why then, he is a
good man for the other side. This
idea that a Representative
must come from the west
side of the Flint is solely for
the purpose of defeating the most ac¬
tive member from the southern
states. One that not only is an
honor to his District, but Geo¬
gi a . We may be divided by a river
but are one people with a common
interest and the dodge is too thin.
If any objections exist against
Judge Crisp except that he is so un¬
fortunate is to live on the west side
of Flint river let it be known. He
is the pride of Georgians even if lie
does live in Americus and we ask
that the people consider other ques-
tions of more moment in passing
upon who will represent this Dis-
trict next time. Judge Crisp is the
right man in the right place.
Very truly, X.

are selling Pianos and Organs for CASH or on Installment plan, cheaper
than any other house in the country. To verify the above all you have
to do is call and examine their stock, or write for catalogue and prices.
One reason they sell cheaper than some handsome houses, is ibis, they don’t throw
in any thing with an Instrument. A stool and scarf goes with
each Piano and a Stool and Instruction Book with each Organ, and noth¬
ing else.- You pay for what you buy, but nothing more. They give you
a home guarantee for five ye irs, and will deliver an Instrument in your
house if it is not convenient for you to send after it. They have a very
handsome delivery wagon built especially for this purpose. Write for
prices and terms to James Fricker Bro., Americus, Ga.
