THE ENTERPRISE *
Clias. D. Ail it tits, Editor.
ELLAVILLE. GA., JUNK SI, 1S87.
We would like to know where
the Pat riot got that valuable receipt
for the prevention of milk holding
by cows ?
It is stated that Senator Colquitt
has announced himself in favor of
free trade. If so, ft looks like Mr.
Colquitt has been in the United
States senate about as long as ho
wants to be.
The railroad commission has at
last interpreted the meaning of the
much dreaded fourth clause which
really looks better than at first
thonght. At least, the railroads are
building all the same.
It lookod quite like home when
the crowd at Knowlton’s springs
gathered around the fire under the
large old oak and listened In silence
as the preacher read the scriptures
and led in prayer.
FOR FENCE OR STOCK LAW.
This is a question that is agitating j
the minds of some of our people
just now. There can be no doubt
but that the stock law is a real
blessing for many districts and
counties, while on the other hand it
it would not suit some districts,
owing to the fact that those dis¬
tricts are sparsely settled and those !
living there live principally from
stock raising; but even in that in-
stance one man who owns only 200
acres of land should not expect to
keep as many cattle as another
man owning 500 acres.
The stock law regulates this un-
fairuess
The stock law does not prevent a
man from fencing as much as lie
pleases, and really it will pay him
to fence more, and in farming and
ln stock raising “the combined
method of this country,” the man
will be compelled to recognize
them both as a business, and there-
fore protect his stock and land by
making one protect and develop
the other. A farmer has to feed
his hands through winter, also ids
mules; he can easily utilize this
outgoing expense by fencing small
fields off for pastures.
There is a poorer and unsettled
class of people through the country
who own a few cattle l^ut no land.
Jn my opinion the stock law would
settle this class of people by caus¬
ing them to buy small tracts of
land at least and make a home out
of it, for if there ever was a time
when our people should secure a
home it is now, tor the time is not
far distant when this poverty will
not be able to purchase.
For the better information of
those who would know as a district
their duties in case stock law is
carried,
That district to he fenced.

ter said adoption, to have good and
substantial fences erected around
the lines of said district in order
to prevent the incursions of stock
from other counties or districts,and
for this purpose he is empowered to
enter upon the land of any person of
said district and have fences con¬
structed across any public or pri¬
vate road: Provided, proper gates

private roads.

Section 1455, Code—The said or¬
dinary, “or such tribunal as may
have jurisdiction he empowered over county mat¬ levy
ters,” shall to
and collect a tax upon the property
of said district sufficient to defray
the expenses of erecting and main¬
taining said fences.
ANOTHER SACRIFICE ON
THE ALTER.
Rev. W. B. Burke, of the South
Georgia conference, and son of Rev.
J. W.Burke, of the same conference,
and resident in Macon, has yielded
to the call for help in foreign fields
and will go to China.
Brother Burke is a sweet spirited
and worthy young man of noble
and manly bearing, and will no
doubt prove himself the true and
devoted man in China that he has
been m rcorgia.
How the^e church folks many of
them grunt and growl anc whine
and equip lam when called onto
g,yea dollar to foreign m.saion*
Friend, suppose God lays.his.hand
•in your boy and girl, as lie h ft s on
other people's boys and girls for the
foreign work, don’t you think you
would change your faith and
practice?
There is no grander specimen of a
man or woman to my mind than
that one who is true to Ids ox her
..onvleijonH of duty, waiting l»v
Hie will of (lie highest tribunal, say-
ing, “Hero, Lord, send me.” Here
in self sacrifice ami devotion that
the world and sinners must honor,
and a faith in God and the ultimate
success of the gospel in saving the
world that God will not disappoint.
May God spare this devoted young
man for many years of successful
work in his calling, and grant the
abldiug presence ef the spirit with
him and his parents whom he will
soon kiss a fond adieu for life, pos¬
sibly. No doubt the prayers of all
true Christian jieople of every
name will ascend to God for Bro.
Burke and others who thus give
their lives for the work.
A PLEASANT AND PROFITA¬
BLE TIME.
Quite a crowd young ladies and
gentlemen left our village during
the first of last week lor Knowlton’s
spring. Mrs. H. 8. Davis consented
to go and take care of the crowd,
Col. C. R. McCrory and wife being
the only married folks of the com¬
pany besides her, save this editor
who spent a day and night there
very pleasantly.
The whole affair was well ar-
ranged and executed. Mrs. Davis
as usual proved herself the careful
superintendent of the affair. The
gentlemen spent the time drinking
spring water, shooting doves and
fishing, while the youug ladies were
enjoying tramps to and from the
spring and elsewhere, and spending
the time pleasantly. Some of the
young men did their hunting and
fishing quite early in the morning,
after which they were absorbed by
the y° un K ,adle8 ’ company and
therefore unfit for anything else,
The trip was of decided benefit to

If you are ever so fortunate as to
faI1 in with just such a crowd at
Knowlton’s as this editor found the
above to he you will not lack courte¬
sies, comforts, and a good, easy
time, sure.
FROM UUHEE MILLS.
THE CROPS—THE STOCK LAW—
THE ENTERPRISE.
We are having some fine growing
weather at present, and where the
crops have been well worked they
are doing finely.
The small grain crop, consisting
mostly of oats, has just been har¬
vested and was very short, caused
by late sowing and early drought.
Uur neighbors have been feasting
on blackberry pies for two weeks or
longer, and now that peaches, ap¬
ples and watermelons are getting
ripe we anticipate a splendid time
for several weeks yet.
The sick are all getting well and
and the well are all getting sick. So
you see we all have our ups and
downs.
The farmers of the county are or¬
ganizing themselves into what is
known in the w est as the “Texas
Alliance.” No harm is meant and
much good is expected. The farm¬
ers are a very inoffensive people
and for fear of giving off'ense have
submitted to too many wrongs al¬
ready, and it is well that they should
organize for their own protection.
Protect the farmers and you put the
commercial world upou a founda¬
tion which can not be shaken.
We frequently hear a sermon ad¬
vocating the sending of missiona¬
ries to China and other heathen
lands, which is well enough, hut so
long as many of our farmers contin¬
ue to turn their cattle in the public
highways with the expectation that
they either get a living there or
break into their neighbors’ fields lor
it, there will still he room at home
for a few good missionaries.
The weekly visits of the Enter-
I'KISE are looked forward to with
much interest, as it is always lull of
news and other interesting reading
matter. Every family in ttie county
should subscribe for and read the
Enterprise. Schley.

cures wrought by thee without
. herbs . or medicine; for it is report- .
ed thou restorest unto sight the
blind, and maketh the lame to
walk,cleanseth the leprosy, raiseth
the dead, and heaieth those that
#ere tormented with diseases of a
long continuance.
Having heard all tills Of thee, I
was fully persuaded to believe one
of these things, that thou art the
God, and eomest down from heaven
to do such miracles, or else thou art
the Sou of God, and performest
them; wherefore I have now sent
these lines entreating thee to come
hither and cure my disease; besides,
having heard that the Jews mur¬
mur against thee, and contrive to
do thee mischief, I invite thee to
my city, which is a little one indeed;
but beautiful, ana sufficient to en¬
tertain us both.
OUR savior’s answer.
Blessed art thou, Agbarus, for be¬
lieving in me, whom thou hast not
seen; for it is written of me, that
they which have not seen me
may believe. But concerning the
matter thou hast written about,
these are to acquaint thee, that all
the things for which I am sent hither
must be fulfilled, and then Ishali
betaken up to him that sent me;
but after my ascension I will send
one of my disciples, who shall cure
thy distemper and give life to tliee
and to them that are with thee.
UENTUUUS’ EPISTLE TO THE SENATE
OF R IMS, CONTAINING A DE¬
SCRIPTION OF CHRIST.
There appeared in these our days
a man of great virtue, called Jesus
Christ, and by the people is called a
prophet; but his own disciples Call
him the Son of God. He raised the
dead, and cured all manner of dis¬
eases, a man ot stature, somewhat
tall and comely; with a reverend
countenance, such as the beholder
may both fear and love. His hair is
the color of a chestnut full ripe, and
and is plain almost to his ears, but
from thence downward is
but more orient of color, wavering
about his shoulders; in the midst of
his head goeth down a seam of
hair, parting like tiie Nazarites, his
torehead very plain and smooth, his
his face without spot or wrinkle,
beautiful with a comely red, his
nose and .mouth so f-.rtned that
nothing can he repieheueu; his
heard thick, the color of the hair of
his head, his eyes gray, clear and
quick; in reproving lie is severe,in
counseling courteous; he is fair
spoken, and pleasant in speech,
mixed with gravity; it can not t>e
remembered that any have ever
heard him laugh, but many have
seen him weep; in proportion to
tiis body he is well shapen and
straight, his hands and arms very
delectable to behold; in speaking
very temperate, modest and wise;
a man for his singular beauty far
exceeding all the sons of men.

Nobody Doubts it in I’alatka.
One of our young merchants has
given the following testimony;
“One of my customers, at the age
of fifteen, had a severe attack of
rheumatism. His father hud to lift
him about. He was in bed for six
weeks. I sold him a dozen bottles
S. S. 8., which entirely cured him.
I regard 8. S. S. as very potent in
rheumatism.” Yours truly,
J. H. Johnson.
A LITTLE MEMORANDUM.
After I had rheumatism for four
years in my right hip, I tried 8.8.
8. it at once built up my health
and the rheumatic pains were al¬
layed, and finally disappeared en¬
tirely. I regard It as tiie best pos¬
sible tonic; and it never fails to
bring my system up to the besteon-
dision whenever run down by sick¬
ness or overwork. I have come to
regard S. S. S. as a necessary house¬
hold medicine. If. Pearce.
