Lowe, the worthy President of our little rail¬ road. We extend to the railroad our sympathies for it will certainly feel the loss of such a man. The Judge quietly departed one morn¬ ing this vveek. Went off to get mar¬ ried to Mrs. Carrie Smith of La- Grange. At Home, Aug., 10th, }886, Mr.EDlTOR:— Having entered the field as a candidate for the legisla¬ ture,and my time being so complete¬ 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, J. R. Me Michael. A young man of this town sent a young lady some apples with fol¬ lowing note: Compliments of Mr. to Miss- and refers her to 2nd John -5th verse. Respectfully. The young lady opened the bible and read, “And now I beseech the lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that 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 ehap., 5th verse. I magine the young mans feelings when lit* opened the bible and read, “Stay me with fla¬ gons, comfort me Yyith apples: for i am sick of love.” PERSONAL. Mrs. T. J. Myres, is quite sick With fever.

August 3rd, 1886, 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.

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, Boys don’t fly kites much now. They have other amusements they enjoy. “The Rack L»g." In the issue of The Arkansaw Traveler dated July 31st, will ap¬ serial pear the opening chapters P. Read, of a enti¬ new storv by Opie tled “The Back Log.” This work is a novel to which the author has de¬ voted tlio spare time of several years and we think that it will be pronounced by all readers the strongest in plot and in literary character, the most finished in con¬ struction, and altogether of Mr. the Read’s most fascinating “The of any Back-Log" charac¬ Stories* the ters are drawn from life and de¬ velopment of the plot will show that the noted writer Who snys thgt “nothing pew in plots can be con. ceived,” makes a mistake. “The Back-Log” will be a valuable addi- tion to American fiction and will doubtless receive a lpoartv welcome (jyerywhere, TO 811S1K.

L. News From Puinain. Putnam, Ga., Aug. 7,1886. We are pulling fodder now, and the continual blowing of the wind from the east, makes it pleasant Work, When we were a small boy, (lie pictures of harvest time made ns think it was pleasanter than go¬ ing to school. But we were mistak¬ en. About all the fun a fellow can get out of fodder pulling, is to put up tlje stack poles, tote w'ater and rest in the shade, and watch the sap suckers peck the corn, till the fodder pullers want more water. Fodder pulling is hard work, but it don’t last long. The weather is fine now, and we don’t have to rush to get the fodder tied and stacked on account of the rain. We tie till night, and then it is just pleasant to be fanned by the wind that nods the corn tussles, and stack it by moon GEORGIA Svm.KY County. To J. N.
