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.
