Ank Miss Nan about it. 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. Prog r;i iib iih- For the Easter Concert and Egg Itrea king. Friday night April 23rd, 1886. Hinging. Prayer. Singing.
