Why can’t our farmers take poor land as he did and bring it up. Plant fewer acres make the land good and keep it good, Our farmers plant entirely too much land’ Would it not be advisable for all our farmers to fall into the intensive system till they see it is better- ing their condition as they are getting worse off every year as it is now Why not at least give it a trial, .

Augusta, Ga., July 7th, 1886. Dear Enterprise:—S eeing through your columns that “C.” of Putnam, would like to know “Rob¬ ert’s” whereabouts have decided to write and inform him. It gives me pleasure to state that I am in the lovely city, of Augusta, which place I will try to describe later. J have been in Augusta one month, I guess that I will return home some time during this month although I am not at all anxious to do so. I would like very much to see the folks at home, but 1 don’t care anything about seeing Ogle- tharpe much. C. C., told me that he would send the items in from home while I was away. I don’t think any one could visit Augusta, without being carried away with it. Augusta has quite a number of handsome churches and dwell- ings. 1 have visited the following churches: First Baptist, Methodist, ChrMI... an,I OthnlU. eharchca »..d the Jewish synagogue before,I leave. I think that the Presbyterians are the wealthiest of all the denomina- tions as they own a good deal of property; their Sunday school and lecture room cost ($35,000) tldrty- tive dollars which is one of the pret¬ tiest buildings that I ever saw. Augusta has just taken in quite a number suburban villiages. The attractions of Augusta, are many and perhaps I will meution more at some other time. The 4th of July was observed by the young boys. They were dressed in their fantastics and had a tin trumpet. There was to have been a tub race Monday evening, but on account of the bad weather it was postponed until Saturday evening. The boys have gotten up a straw side which they will have to-mor- row night,they invited me and have j requested me to invite some young lady friends of mine. I have accept¬ ed with pleasure both Invitations. (Veil I guess I had better close for this time, I would like to see this published as I am afraid that the waste basket will take It in as it passes. Many thanks “C.” for being so good as to think of me with best wishes for you, dear Enterprise and your readers. I remain, Respectfully, Robert. WANTED. 1,000 subscribers for the Enter¬ prise. Don’t all rush in at once. Give us time to count the money and enroll the names. J| ■ekgb — ' Young Alan, Item ember. j "''m.g ; To give the savior thy wicked heart, And front all sin and evil depart. Remember you are born to die, p,.. im o:trtli your spirit soon must fly, Must go in joy to Heaven above, To the land of joy peace and love. Or down, down to eternal woe, In deepest anguish you must go. Ere you are laid in thesilent tomb. Where reigns supreme the deepest gloom, Awake, awake, my dear young friend, Before with you comes the end. Look to Jesus, Oh! look and live; He’ll freely all your sins forgive, Fit your soul to live on high, Where you ne’er shall weep or sigh. Then on that shore you’ll be crowned, Then in Heaven will you be found, Fits you to live on high with him, In a world that is free from sin. No pain, no sick ness, to sorrow there, Eternal happiness you, will share, No anxious care disturb thy rest, In the land of bliss among the blest. Young man, no longer your soul negleet, No longer the savior young friend reject, Turn unto him my dear young friend, He will his blessings on you send. He will save you from a dreadful fate, Dear young friend, don’t be too late, Don’t say time enough yet, And your poor soul young man forget. But fly to the shelter of his cross Where none lias ever suffered loss; He knows you can’t make your heart better, He alone can break the fetter, Only surrender your heart to him, iTe will free it .rom all sin. He points you to the living way, Wisdom invites you there to-day, Young friend, I make this kind appeal, Your hotter judgment now says yield. That when comes the last breath, And thy voice is hushed in death, Hope points loved ones to that shore, Where weeping and parting shall be no more; And says thy loved young friend is there, With him or Ik r all Heaven you’ll share, There loved ones shall forever meat, Their stay with eaeh other will be long and sweet.
