Old sol has been putting in some nice work recently, A Mr. Partridge of Fla., reports the death of a Mr. Bird. We hope the excessively hot weather will soon adjourn sine die. There was a nice rain between here and the camp ground last Mon¬ day evening. The one sending us the largest watermelon will be entitled to the Enterprise one year. If you want something delicious, call and try some of Williams & Weaver’s fresh candies. The social gethering at Mrs. II. S. Davis was greatly enjoyed by all who attended last Wednesday eve, “Those who use our goods are very much attached to them,” is what a porous-plaster company ad¬ vertises. A lawyer in our town arose to ad¬ dress the chairman of the mass meeting last Saturday, and did so by saying “may it please the court.” A gentleman told us last Monday that the Revs. J. O, A. Clark and J. O. A. Cook both prominent Metho¬ dist ministers and wives have the same initials. In another column will be found the announcement of M.B. Dunn for tax collector. Mr. Dunn requests us to state ho is getting old and feeble has a large family of girl children, has lived in Schley before the coun¬ ty was made and has never asked the citizens of Schley before and will be very grateful for their sup¬ port. A man living in the vicinity of Ebenezer church went to church with his wife one night last week, but sat in his buggy during service under the following circumstances: When he left home he asked his wife to bring him his coat. She brought her shawl and'neither no¬ ticed the mistake until they reached the church. The meeting closed at Ebenezer last Saturday night with 17 acces¬ sions 15 by experience and baptism and two by restoration. We were at the meeting a portion of the time and regard it as a very good meeting, Pastor Waters was aided by Rev. Jesse 8tallens preaching two ser¬ mons and Rev. G. W. Weekly one. This is an excellent community. A young blacksmith wrote his ad¬ vertisement, stating that all orders in this business would be promptly executed. By mistake, it was printed, “All others in this business will be promptly executed.” An old blacksmith, on seeing the notice threw up his hands and exclaimed, “Has it come to this, after thirty years of tiresome toil? Law, me! Well, well!” At Home, Aug., 10th, 1886. Mr.EniTOR:— 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 every man in person, I cannot do j so without neglecting those I am called to serve, “Duty before pleasure has ever been” and still shall be my motto.

In sacred dialeet the heavens are becoming brazen,and the earth iron, so the average farmer is rubbing his scalp, and singing for the welcome rain. Fodder pulling has commenced and is under full headway. 111 the cotton fields the fleecy staple anon peeps fortli from its secret chambers.
