Mr.EDlTOR:— Having entered the

ly occupied by professional duties
as to prevent my seeing the voters
in distant parts of the county, I
with your permission take this
method of soliciting their support.
While it would be pleasant to meet
pyery man in person, I cannot do
so without neglecting those I atn
called to serve. “Duty before
pleasure has ever been” and still
shall be my motto.
Very Respectfully,

which we had from the beginning,
that we love one another.”
The young man received the fob
lowing note in reply: Miss-ret
turns compliments to Mr.-with
many thanks for the apples and re¬
fers him to Songs of Soloman 2nd

Editor Enterprise:—A s your
former correspondent “Puer” of this
place lias quit writing, I thought I
would try my hand,
“Puer” js at present rustiearing in
Stewart county and I suppose lie is
having a good time.
Your correspondent has returned
from atrip to Stewart county. In
our travels we found the crops along
the road very poor,until we reached
Webster county. Where we found
crops fair, but when we reached our
destination just over in Ste\y r art
seven and a half miles east of
Lumpkin we thought we had struck
Texas.
We were about to forget to men¬
tion the fact, there has been another
mad dog in the “Cutoff.” He. bit a
dog for Mr. W. W. Rodgers a calf
for Mr. Eubanks and another dog
for a colored man. Well, Mr. Edi¬
tor unless I could interest you and
your readers more than I have I
will close. More anon,

Cotton is doing well, but if thp
continues to blow from the east and
if it fails to rain in ten days, it is
bound to shed. But we guess it
had about as well shed, for if it
don’t shed, jt will be rust, or low
prices, or maybe all. It has cost so
much to make the crop, till we
can’t afford to make less than a full
crop; but we may have to. Grass
has grown everywhere, It lias
rained so much, that about all we
could do with it was to pull it in the
middles, and it is tl>Pr6 yet. But it
hasn't hurt much, as it has absorbed
the water, . that .. . it ...... is likely . would ,,
have hurt the cotton. Cattle have
kept fat grazing the grass on the
old fields. Our butt headed steer
has not been in a pasture since win¬
ter, and he is sleek and fat. Meat
is getting scarce, so we expect, to
kill him in a few days. Mrs. C.
says she is needing some sugar, and
that the boy needs a new a hat, and
that if we expect to go to Camp
meeting we will have to have a
starched shirt, (as our old one is
about gone) and that two quarters
of the beef will buy them all, and
have some money over too. We
never get more than half as much
for our eggs, as our neighbor over
the branch does for his, and we a],
ways let them cheat us out of at
least a pound of butter, Those town
fellows can just cheat me out of nay
eyes. We proposed to buy the goods
on credit, but Mrs. C., says if that
beef don’t buy them, we don’t get
them. Well, we guess she is right.
She knows the cotton crop isn’t
made yet, and after it is made it
tnay bo a little price. She knows
that the guano must be paid for,and
that the taxes must be paid. She
is not forgetful that we will need a
winter coat and that shoes for us all,
and jeans, homespun and number
of othes things will have to be
bought for winter. We don’t see
how a man can get along without
a woman to help him manage.
All our success is due to Mrs.
O.’s management, and our fail¬
ures are due to oyr not listening to
her,
