think hard of him, for it is natural.
The Savannah News says: “Some¬
thing over seventy miles of the
Savannah, Dublin and Western

weeks.”
Meeting begins at the Baptist
church In this place (to-morrow)
Friday night, and will continue at
least a portion of the week. Rev.
J. H. Corley of Fort Gaines, has
promised to be here on Monday if
nothing providentially prevents and
will remain several days.
The meeting closed at the Metho¬
dist church in this place last Friday
night which resulted In the acces¬
sion of two members to-wit: Mr. G.
W. Chlpley and Mr. Will Wallace.
The close took us by surprise; we
thought from the interest manifest¬
ed it would go on at least a portion
of this week. Rev. J. T. Lowe had
another appointment to meet or it
would have doubtless continued.
We hope the impressions for good
which seemed apparent will he last-
ing.
Mr. E. H. Cordell and old school
mate and w T arm friend very kindly
offered us and Mrs, H-, his mule and
buggy last Saturday evening and
offered still further to board us for
a short time. Being tired out on
sanctum toils and troubles we be¬
took ourselves to his hospitable
hpnie. Jc was our first visit to his
house since we came to Ellaville. We
had a good old time talking over
our boyhood days. He took us to
church Saturday night and Sunday.
We had the pleasure of hearing
tU’O good aermons from Pastor
Waller a rising young minister.
Ebb showed us his crop which prom¬
ises a very "fair yie|d. The crops
along the road look well. We met
some old acquaintances and made
some new ones. Our old friend and
his excellent wife treated us well
every way, We had a good time
and a heap of good things that ex,
actly suited the palate of a hungry
newspaper man. We hope invita¬
tions for a continuance of such
treatment from *ur many friends
will be strictly observed. The pros-
pppts for a revival of religion at old
Fellowship wfc think were good;.

From Urhee mills.
Uchke Mii.lh, Ga., July 20, 1886.
Dear Enterprise:—As your
correspondent has just returned
from a trip from this place to Taze¬
well he will attempt to let your
readers know something of the
crops along the road traveled by
hitn. After leaving the mill and
assending the long slope, extending
westward toward the mill, the beau¬
tiful level farm of Mr. J. W. Itobin-
son is reached. We find Mr. R’s,
cotton to be a little above an aver¬
age for this section. Here we see a
beautiful large pea patch all round
in beautiful green leaves and golden
pods. After leaving this farm we
enter the Tazewell road which is
noted for its longs hill and deep sand
beds. We were pleased to note that
all along this road the crops had
been well worked and that the corn
was the best that we have ever seen
on that road, cotton does not look so
well as it has suffered with an over
dose of water and to little sunshine.
On the farm of Mr. Hogg, an ener¬
getic and progressive farmer, four
miles this side of Tazewell, we
noted quite a number of young
grade of jerseys. He is very fond of
good stock and takes a great deal of
pride in his mild eyed jerseys.
Tazewell is situated at the head of
navigation of Buck creek and con¬
tains five stores, two churches and
a school house and a fine griss and
flouring mill. Buck creek at this
point furnishes a splended stream
for a small factory w’here all the
cot ton of this section could be turned
into cloth. Uchke.
A Letter From Fntnani.
Putnam, Ga., July 19, 1886.
Items of interest from here must
always be scarce, for the public de¬
lights to read of deaths,murders act.
But deaths hardly ever occur up
here. When a person gets ready to
explore the beyoud, he generally
nas to move off to get a starting
point. And if a man wants any
body up here to kill him, he will
have to run the fellow down and
then make him commit the deed.
These people are social, friendly,
good natured and happy. The crops
have been “layed by” and now the
farmer and his sons can rest Water¬
melons and fruit are plentiful, and
such delightful rest these people
have. The boys go a’fishing and bird
hunting, and on Saturday play base
ball. The married men do not get
off quite so easy. They have cut the
stove wold, gather the vegetables,
“tote” up the watermelons help dry
peaches and then if they have any
spare time to mind the baby, but
all this is happiness, domestic hap¬
piness.
Mr. J. W. Snipes’ two children
who have been very sick for some
time are better. The writer too, has
been sick for about two weeks, but
thanks to this congenial atmos¬
phere, the various teas, and the
number of sample bottles of patteut
medicines administered by Mrs. C.,
we are up again, and subject to the
orders to cut wood, draw water,
wash the dishes ect. We had begin
to think we were an exception to
the general rule and would have to
pass in our chips. We fancyed we
could see Mra. C., draw the insur¬
ance money, flirt with and Anally
marry a widower. But now the
widower must wait.
Almost every body up here are
visiting or have visitors. There are
so many we can not get them down.
Even the proprietors of our “gas
works” are gone.
We all thought Wash Walker was
an honest negro. He claimed to lie
a saint, that he had walked with
God and that angels directed las
feet wher eto tread. Afew nights ago
one of these angels, got a long stick,
got in through a crack in the back
end of Mr. Stevens’ crib and pushed
Wash out a sack of corn. But he
managed to settle it by promising
to pay twenty-five dollars. A dele¬
gation from his church soon after
called on Wash and told him he was
getting off to easy, aud that he
must comply with his promise, pay
his debts with his effects and then
leave. He has complied. C.

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 houses, is this, they don’t throw
in any thing with an Instrument, A handsome 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 rs, and will deliver an Instrument in your
