The New Road Was Opened on
Wednesday—Trains to Run
From Pelham to Tichnor.
The initial run of the Flint
River and Northeastern was
made on Wednesday of last week,
when a train bearing the direc¬
tors made the trip from Pelham
to Tichnor, a distance of some
thirty miles.
This was the formal opening
of the road. No passenger
schedule will be put on at pres¬
ent. Only freight trains will
mak' :> the trip, but a nice coach
will be attached to accommodate
the public unt’l a passenger
train is put on.
Mr. D. M. Rogers has been
made manager of the Flint River
& Northeastern and under his
capable direction it is expected
that the road will enter on a very
prosperous career.
The officers of the F. R. & N.
E. Ry. are T. D. Sale, President;
andT. M. Carter, J. W. Byrd, D
M. Rogers and Audrey Baldwin
Directors. Mr. D, M. Rogers is

Valuable Improvement.
In the cotton mill section of
the city some of the most valua¬
ble kinds of work has lately been
done.
In the list ten days Mrs. J, L.
Hand has had set out several
hundred fig and pomegranate
and lose bushes in the yards of
the mill operatives.
Individually she has superin¬
tended the work that will bring
for years to corse a lich harvest
of pleasure to those who work in
the mills.
Such generous consideration
for those who are closely confin¬
at their daily labors might
be universally emulated.
A fig, a pomegranate and a
rose bush, flourishing in each of
the yards and pecan trees scat¬
here and there will add
to the comfort ana hear¬
ty of the homes in that section of
Pelham.—Pelham Journal.
Mrs. Hand is to be commend¬
ed for the effort she has put forth
that some comfort ard attrac¬
tions might be placed around the
homes of those who have to daily
labor for the necessities of life,
and therefore neither have the
time or energy to try and beau¬
tify or make attractive the place
where they merely eat and sleep.

"Something bothering you, Miss

“Why, yes, Mr. Ragmore. It’s
only a trifle, of coarse, but our lives
are made up of trifles, you know.
Mamma and Aunt Miriam have been
me such a lot of nice linen

how I would have it marked.”
"Why of not with your name?”

to change it ?”

Mr. Editor;— As I escaped the
waste basket la3t week, I will let
the readers of the Enterprise
hear from me and this communi¬
ty again.
We are now having some nice
spring weather which everybody
who pretends to garden at all
should take advantage of by
planting some of every vegetable
that can be successfully raised
at this season of the year.
Our opinion i9 that the cold
weather is over.
Our people out here on the
Flint are pushing their farm
work with a rush that promises
to tell a wonderful tale some day
in the bye and bye.
Mrs. Caroline Bell, who lives
with Mr. R. J. Taylor, has been
very sick for sometime, but we
are glad to hear she is improv¬
ing.
We do not think the cotton
acreage will ba increased much,
if any, in this community.
Mr. Jack Bell’s little koy has
been on the sick list. „
Mr. and Mrs. Files' have been
spending several days with their
daughter, Mrs. Clifford Stamper.
We regret and mourn the death
of our friend and neighbor, Mr.
J. €. Cooper. We extend condo¬
lence' to the grief stricken fami¬
ly.

Sorghum.
From the Albany Herald
In line with its hog’, * hominy
hay policy, the Herald feels
in calling the attention
the farmers of this section to
value of sorghum as a sum¬
mer feed, not only for hogs and
cattle, but for work stock.
Many of our farmers have al¬
ready tested the value of - sorg¬
hum, and those who have trie! it
have found in it a splendid sub¬
stitute for grain. When the corn
crop is short sorghum comes in
better than any other side crop
that has been tried in this sec¬
tion to keep the working stock on
the farm going.
A liveryman in this city plants
sorghum every year, and he stops
feeding grain to his stock as soon
as the sorghum becomes availa¬
ble. He finds that he can work
his stock and keep them in the
best of condition for three months
in the year while feeding with
nothing but sorghum.
Sorghum is not only good for
the horses and mules, but it con¬
tains a large percentage of sac-,
charine matter and will make
the hogs and cattle fat.
Another thing that commends
sorghum as a crop for stock feed
is that it requires but little culti¬
vation. In rich land it is a pro¬
digious grower, and can be cut
more than one time. It requires
but little cultivation after plant¬
ing, and makes one of the cheap¬
est as well as one of the best
crops that can be planted for
stock in this section, where it
seems to grow to perfection/
There are two varieties of sor¬
ghum adapted to this section,
the amber and the orange, the
latter maturing about ten days or
t wo weeks later than the amber;
so that by planting both varie
ti s a continuous crop can be
had.

An Early Riser.
A strong, healthy, active consti¬
tution depends largely on the con¬
dition of the liver. The famous
little pills known as DeWitt’s
Little Early Risers not only
cleanse but they strengthen the
action of the liver and rebuild
the tissues supporting the organ.
Little Early Risers are easy to
act, they never gripe and yet
they are absolutely certain to
produce results that are satisfac¬
tory in all cases. Sold by Lew¬
