Are you going to the barbecue to-morrow at Andrews Chapel ? They are having a good revival at Hopewell this week. Ellaville was well„represented at Fellowship last Sunday. Rev. J. T. Lowe is protracting his meeting at Hopewell this week. Our friend Gene Dixon can now say come daughter be a pretty girl. Thanks to Misses Bessie and Re¬ becca Dunn for a basket of fine peaches. Rev. J. T. Lowe’s meeting is pro¬ gressing finely at Hopewell, at last account report six additions. We see from our Dawson ex¬ changes, that W. B. Gibson had a child killed by lightning last week. We have just received some of those delicious’Boss Lunch Biscuit.’ Williams & Weaver. The AndersoDville club wants to play our boys a game of ball, boys can’t you all get up a scrub nine and try them. A change has come o’er the spirit of Claude’s dream as he wears his four button cutaw ay and cuffs regu¬ lar now. What ish de matter ? An old lady, reading a biography of Charles O’Connor the alleged father of the New York bar, ex¬ claimed: “Poor man he had a dread¬ ful set of children.” The candidate is again among the people. If he should want to kiss all the babies and grasp you by the hand longer than you like don’t think hard of him, for it is natural. The Savannah News says: “Some¬ thing over seventy miles of the Savannah, Dublin and Western railway are graded and ready for the crossties. The first shipment of rails is expected In about three 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;.

Little Lucy Keen spent Sunday and Monday with Mary Williams in the country had a good time catch¬ ing fish.

The town is ifi g oocJ health. $Cp.e}TJ(TU'nL 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. WANTED. 1,000 subscribers fop the Entkr- puise. Don’t all rush in at once.
