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 Subscribe for the Enterprise. 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. “Georgia Cracker.” 81.OO a Year 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.
