COL. HARRY POWELL DROWN*
ED.
A Sudden and Very Sad Ending
To a Pleasure Party.
A happier or more joyous fishing
party never left C imilla than that
of the DuBignon Perry on Wed¬
nesday morning of last week
with the purpose of spending
several days near the river or> a
combination camp fish and house
party, making their headquar¬
ters at the neat little home of
Mr. Curry Spence, where they
were assured of comfortable
quarters for the night and pro¬
tection from bad weather should
any come upon them.
The party was gotten up by
Misses Don and Genie Under¬
wood in honor of their guest,
Miss Louise Callaway, of Albany,
and those attending wei-e Misses
Louise Callaway and Pauline
Brooks, of Albany, Miss Emma
Cochran, Miss Audrey Turner,
and Misses Don and Genie Un¬
derwood, Col. Harry Powell and
Co). Matt Bennet, Mr- Curry
Spence, Mr. J. G. Bailey and
Messrs. W. C. and E. H. Under¬
wood.
The young people had a very
enjoyableand happy time through
Wednesday and Thursday having
caught plenty of fish.
On Thursday morning, Mr. R.
W. Edenfield, of Cave Springs,
joined the party for the day and
nothing interfered to mar the
pleasure of anyone until late in
the afternoon, when Mr. Eden¬
field took his departure, some of
the young men going with him to
the ferry to put him across the
river, while Col’s. Powell and
Bennet decided they would take
a swim in the river, both being
good swimmers apprehended no
danger, plunged into the stream
and made for the opposite shore,
which Col. Bennet soon reached
without trouble, but Col. Powell,
being an excellent swimmer in
the full enjoyment of young man

MITCHELL’S INCREASE IN TAXABLE
PROPERTY SHOWS PROGRESS.
Tax Receiver Akridge Has Completed Consolidation of RMurns,
Showing an increase of $429,301.
Mitchell’s efficient Tax Receiv¬
er, Mr. G. T. Akridge, completed
the consolidation of the tax re¬
turns for this year, the latter
part of last week and handed in¬
to the Enterprise office the
comparative statement of figures
for this and last year as shown
below. The increase over last
year is nearly a half million dol¬
lars and shows beyond doubt
that Mitchell county is one of the
best and most progressive coun¬
ties in the state and especially
is this true as to the southern
part of the state.
The building of the rad road
from Pelham to Tichnor has
done much to increase values of
property in that section of the

again until his body was taken
fiom the water four hours later
by parties who had gathered for
that purpose, and was then taken
to his father’s home about two
miles from town.
The news of the drowning was
soon brought to Camilla and pro¬
duced a shock upon the people
that will not soon be fox*gotten,
for Harry Powell had not an
enemy among all who knew him,
but rather counted his friends
by his acquaintances.
If a genial smile, a pleasant
word, and a hearty handshake
denotes a warm heart and a sun¬
ny nature, then these were the
possessions of Harry Powell,
who, in his strong, vigorous
young manhood, has gone out
from among us. His presence
will not be felt in our midst
again, but in our memory he lives
as an honest, upright, conscien¬
tious, manly young man, which
we deem a goodly inheritance
to leave to bis friends and com¬
panions.
The f unex al services were held
county, but the opening up of
the towns of Sale City and Ma
pleton has been done since the
time for making returns and
therefore this development of
the county does not appear in
these returns, but will go far to¬
wards making a large increase
for another year.
The total property returned
by the colored people of the coun¬
ty is $195,720, while that of the
white people is $2,977,141.
In the last six years under
Mr. Akridge’s supervision as
receiver the taxable values of
property in this county has
about doubled.

tricts for 1903 and 1904 :

at the Methodist church Friday
afternoon last, conducted by his
pastor, Rev. C. T. Clark, in the
presence of one of the largest
congregations ever assembled in
Camilla.
Mr. Powell was a member of
the Knights of Pythias and the
burial service was conducted by
his brother members of that fra¬
ternity led by Col. E. M. Davis,
whose ulogy for his deceased
brother was eloquent and fitting.
Just here the Enterprise
would admonish one and all that
they scatter their roses along
life’s pathway, Show by your
words and acts towards those
whose friendship you esteem,
that you love them and that their
friendship is appreciated. You
will lose nothing, but you and
your friends will all be made
glad and the sunshine of life will
greet you while you live.
To the relatives of the deceas¬
ed the Enterprise tenders this
expression of sympathy in then
great bei-eavement.
