DOCTOR POSEY DEAD.
He Passed Away at His Home in
East Camilla, on Friday Night
of Last Week.
Mr. R. W. Posey was possibly
4he most noted character that ev¬
er lived in this section of the
State, being possessed with won¬
derful powers of mind reading
and explaining away mysteries
concerning lost or stolen articles
and other matters that seemed to
be past understanding to those
who came to him for information
from the surrounding country for
miles around.
Dr. Posey, as he was known,
was a native of Canada, but came
to Georgia when a young man
and for many years was a citizen
of Marion county, having moved
to Mitchell county about seven
years ago where his reputation a9
a “fortune teller,” or whatever
his gift might be called, followed
him, and there was seldom a
week that passed but what
some one came to see him to en¬
list his aid in locating some lost
or stolen property, or explaining
away the mysteries surrounding
other events for which no satis¬
factory solution could be had un¬
til after the Doctor had been con¬
sulted.
Dr. Posey was seventy-six
years old and in attempting to
go out of the house recently sus¬
tained a fall from which he re¬
Camilla. Get., Oot. SI, 1004 ,
ceived injuries that resulted in
his death on Friday night of last
week. He was buried Saturday
afternoon at Mt. Zion church, a
few miles east of Camilla.
He leaves a wife and several
children to mourn his death to
whom the Enterprise extends
sympathy.
Railroad to Sylvester Pushed at
Ashburn.
Ashburn, Ga., Oct. 14.—That
that the railroad which was be¬
gun over a year ago from this
place to Sylvester is to be com¬
pleted is an assured fact. Civil
engineers are now going ever the
route and in a very short time
the work of grading and laying
iron will begin.
This will connect with a road
that is now being built to some
place in Floi’ida. It is also very
likely that this road will connect
with the H. and F. S., at Worth,
only three miles above here.
The road from Ashburn to Syl¬
vester is giaded for about ten
miles and about three miles of
track has been laid for some
time. That Ashburn, the coun¬
ty site of the proposed new coun¬
ty of Henderson, and Sylvester,
the new site of Worth county,
are to be connected by rail is a
matter in which the citizens of
this section are greatly interest¬
ed

SYNDICATE SALE.
Baggs & Ferry Show Enterprise
by (living the People An¬
other Chance to Get
Bargains.
These hustling young business
men, ever alive to those things
that have a tendency to attract
trade and draw customers to the
town have put on another of those
immense Mill and Factory Syn¬
dicate Sales, in which the people
of Mitchell county can have an
opportunity of buying first-class
goods at the lowest possible
prices.
In fact it is like bringing the
bargain sales of the cities right
here at your door where, for the
ten days from today you can se¬
cure the best goods at the lowest
pricos ever offered in this mar¬
ket before. The first sale, which
they held in April last was a suc¬
cess and every reader of the En¬
terprise will remember that,
though it came on in the begin¬
ning of what might be termed the
dull season of the year, yet thous¬
ands of people took advantage of
this grand opportunity to lay in
a full summer supply of such
things as they were in need.
The sale, commencing today,
might be termed the real fall and
winter opening and
will be the buyer who takes ad¬
vantage of the opportunity to
lay in a supply of such things as
they may while the big bargain
sale is on.
Very few towns the size of Ca¬
milla have ever had these Syndi¬
cate sales. They have been re¬
served for the larger towns and
cities, but then Camilla is forging
to the front as one of the very
best towns in Southwest Georgia
and will not allow anything to
stand in the way of her progress
that can be moved by energy and
enterprise and Messrs. Baggs &
Perry are the personification of
energy and enterprise itself, and
where you find the forces at work
you can rest assured that there
will be no trouble in finding the
capital upon which to do busi¬
ness.
In order to properly advertise
this big sale the Enterprise of¬
fice sends out this week four ex¬
tra pages with the regular issue,
making twelve in all, besides
turning out five thousand double
page dodgers, enumerating
rare bargains you can obtain by
calling on Baggs & Perry
tlii s sale.
Just watch Camilla grow and
become a city in many ways, if
not in population.
Mr. Charles (lillenwaters Not
lead.
The Enterprise is pleased to
announce that the reports re¬
cently going the rounds of the
state press to the effect that Mr.
Charles Gillenwaters, who was
shot by the Smiths in the
affray at Branchville recent¬
ly, had died from his wounds is a
mistake and that Mr. Gillenwa
ters, i; fast recovering from his
wounds and will soon bo up and
attending to his business again.
In nearly every town through¬
out the state the daily papers
havespecial correspondents, who,
often in their zeal to furnish
news, jump at every rumor that
comes along and report it to their
paper as facts. This is wrong,
correspondents should investi¬
gate all rumors and report noth¬
ing but facts about anything that
happens.
East Mitchell Notes.
The old “Cracker” was on the
sick list last week and failed to
write, but will try to do better
this week.
On last Sunday afternoon a
pretty, though quiet, wedding
was solemnized at the home of
the bride’s father, Mr. S. L.
Akridge, when Miss Nora Akridge
and Mr. James Cook were united
in the holy bonds of matrimony.
Rev. H. N. Burnette, in a very
impressive manner, spoke the
words which made the happy
couple one. The bride is one of
the sweetest and most charming
girls Pebble City affords, while
the groom is a prosperous and
energetic young farmer of West
Mitchell.
Mr. and Mrs, R. H. Hall, of
Camilla, paid the city a visit Sun¬
day.
Mr. W. G. Akridge made a
business trip to Valdosta Mon¬
day.
Messrs. L. C. and Dan Bullard,
attended the Akridge-Cjok wed¬
ding last Sunday.
Quite an excitement was rais¬
ed last Friday when fire was dis
covered in the gin-house at this
place. The men worked with
much energy, and succeeded in
extinguishing the fire before
much damage was done.

PROGRESSIVE CAMILLA.
A New Era of Prosperity Dawn¬
ing for Mitchell’s Capitol
City.
The foundation for the new jail
has been laid and work on its
walls are progressing as rapidly
as material can be received.
Then comes two new brick
stores on Scott street, for which
dirt was broken this week by
Messrs. R. T. and E. T. Cochran,
who will push them forward to
completion as rapidly as possible.
Next is the handsome new three
thousand dollar residence that is
being erected on North Broad
street, for Mr. T. B. Twitty. Mr.
Lee, of Valdosta, has the con¬
tract and work is progressing
rapidly.
Mr. C. C. Spence, has the ma¬
terial on the ground for a hand¬
some residence on South Scott
street, and several other new
residences are in prospect for the
near future.
Those who are overhauling and
making additions to their already
neat residences are Messrs. W.
C. Spence, C. L. Taylor, Mayor
J. H. Palmer and G. B. Cochran.
As this new work progresses, the
painter’s brush could also be em»
ployed to advantage on many
other buildings in the town, ad¬
ding much to the appearance,
not only of the buildings them¬
selves but to the general appear¬
ance of our progressive little city.
Let the work of improvement
go on.___
Union Protracted Meeting.

announce that a union protracted
meeting will commence on next
Sunday morning at the Methodist
church in which the pastors of
the different churches in the city

dial invitation is extended to non.
professors of religion. Let every
one who can, come out to these
meetings and work for an up¬
building of ihe spiritual interest
of Camilla and tne surrounding
territory.
It is not a denominational
meeting, but a union meeting of
all denominations who desire to
hear the gospel expounded and
all Christian people strengthened
and the general moral tone of the
town quickened and placed on a
higher plane. Come out and
join in these meetings; they will
do you good.
