FRIDAY, APRIL 22, 1904.
One of our good farmers and
one who thougnt he worked most
all the time kept account of the
number of days he worked on hi?
farm last year and the amount of
money he made from the work.
In the account he found he had
worked considerably less than
half the year and averaged for
every day he worked $2.87. Thi;
is a far better average than most
town people make and the farmer
enjoys himself and his work
much more than does the
merchant.—Senoia Enterprise.
According to a magazine de¬
voted to engineering, the Yukon
river, which is 2,400 miles in
length, is navigable by
for over 2,000 miles.
Bonds Lost in Wednesday’s
Election
The result of the election for
bonds with which to build Mitchell
county a jail in keeping with the
progress of the count}, was a
defeat of the bond issue, but
this does not mean that the jail
will not be built for the county
needs it and the Commissioners
will, the Enterprise understands,
proceed at once to levy a tax for
(hat purpose.
It is possible that a mistake
was made in having the election
held on the same day with the
primary, which completely over¬
shadowed everything else and
really caused the bond election
to go by default for want of in¬
terest taken in the matter.
The Enterprise will not say
chat the people of Mitchell have
made a mistake in letting the
question of bonds be defeated,
yet we believe that it would have
been the best policy, however
the people of Mitchell are able to
built a handsome jail and not
feel it to be a great burden and
this they will do, and then possi¬
bly congraU late themselves that
they have no debt upon their
county.
Called To His Door and Killed.
Barnesville, Ga., April 16.—
Steve Turner, a well known negro,
died last night from a wound re¬
ceived a week ago in the head
from an unknown party. He
was called to the door of his
home and struck on the head
with a rock. The wound was
dressed, and while it was consid¬
ered a bad wound, it was not
thought to be fatal.

The Contest for Chautauqua
Representatives.
The contest among the pupils
of Mitchell county for places
as representatives from Mitchell
county to the Georgia Chautau¬
qua to be held in Albany next
week, was held at the Auditorium
of the r amiila High School build
ing on last Friday afternoon.
Only two schools were repre¬
sented. that of Baconton and that
of Camilla.
Baconton was represented by
by Master Thomas Fleming and
Misses Hattiiu Glausier, Alma
Lois Henley, Willie Van Vickie
and Lucia Jackson while Camilla
was represented by Master Frank
Hartsfield and Miss Clara Free¬
man.
Master Fleming wen out in the
Oratorical contest and will repre¬
sent Mitchell county at the Chau¬
tauqua next Monday in an effort
to bring away the Walter’s Medal
while Miss Hattiiu Glausier will
be there to contend for the Laura
Clementine Davis medal in Ora*
tory for young ladies.
In the instrumental music con¬
test Misses Van Vickie, Jackson
and Freeman contended for rep
lesentative’s place which was
awarded to Miss Freeman.
Quite a large audience was
present to greet the contestants
and the entertainment they re¬
ceived amply repaid every ore
who was in attendance. Prof.
Powell, Mitchell’s efficient Com¬
missioner’ presided over the ex¬
ercises, while Prof. Branham, of
the Camilla ‘Jligh School an¬
nounced the programme introduc¬
ing each contestant, as their time
came. It is well that the editor
of the Enterprise was not one
of the judges for they all did so
well that he would have been in
fovor of sending . every one of
them to the Chautauqua. As it
the Judges gave Baconton’s
two places and
representatives one and
feel warranted in saying that
will beasab’.y represent
in the Modal Contest* next Mon¬
as any county at the Chau¬
Here’s hoping that they will
back the medals they will
for.

Church have issued cards
a measuring party to be giv¬
to-night at the home of Dr.
Mrs. John M. Spence on
Scott street for the benefit of the

help swell the fund for this noble
cause.

that is worthy of emulation.
