FRIDAY. NOV- 25, 1A04.
Thanksgiving Day.
The people of Camilla, taken
a whole are a Godfearing people,
and having been the recipients
of many blessings from the Fa¬
ther during the past twelve
months, it was hut natural that
they should observe the day as
set forth by the rulers of our na¬
tion, by closing up their places
of business and laying aside oth¬
er avocations of life for a time in
order that we might commemo¬
rate this, the first distinctively
American holiday.
The people of Camilla and
Mitchell county have enjo.yed
much for which they should give
thanks. It is true that sorrows
have visited some of our homes,
but these may be considered in
many instances, as the richest
blessings that God has given,
because they awaken in us the
fact that we are His creatues,
and our deliverance from all man¬
ner ol evil can only come from
Him. *
We have had a prosperous.year
along all lines of business and.
the cry of distress is not heard
in any part of our country, but
what they resteh responsive ears
and willing hands ready to ex¬
tend relief.
In Camilla, the day was ob¬
served with appropriate union
services at the Methodist church,
conducted by Rev. A. McLauch
lin, pastor of the Presbyterian
church, and while the congrega¬
tion was not as large as it should
have been, yet the closest atten¬
tion was given to the able dis¬
course of this servant of the Mas¬
ter
At the noon hour it might be
said that every home in the town
was an open house to relatives
and friends who would gather
there to partake of the prover¬
bial Thanksgiving dinner.
Baptist Church At baconton
Bnrned.
Information was received at
the Enterprise office on Thurs¬
day night of last week, just at
the weeks issue was being finish¬
ed up, that the Baptist church
Baconton had burned during the
early hours Wednesday night.
This is a heavy blow to cur
Baptist friends at Baconton.
had just built themselves a
house of worship at a cost
about $2,000 and the work
painting was in progress
the fire did its destructive work.
The building was fortunately
sured for $1100 and therefore
not a total loss.
The Baconton church is
plucky one and will commence
rebuild at once.
Barrel Factory Burned At
The Cannon Company's
factory at Meigs was burned
o’clock on Thursday morning
last week. The plant was
ated by Mr. Coy Robinson for
Cannon Co., of Cairo. The
of raw material and finished
duct was $1-200. Insurance
This was an important
to Meigs and its loss is
regretted, especially at this
ticular time when barrels are
in demand.
A DAY IN PELHAM.
One of Mitchell’s
and Wide- \-Wake Towns.
The.editor of the
made his second visit since
coming a resident of
county, to our sister city
on last Monday. It being
last appointment for the year
that place for our efficient
collector Mr. J. L. Stewart,
editor thought that it would be
good opportunity to meet and,
least, make the acquaintance of
large number of the• citizena
thatjSection of this
county.
While there we visited
Merry in his law office and as
is also the mayor of the town*,
were in time to be a spectator
his regular Monday matinee.
There were several cases on
docket but only two
appeared for trial; one a
negro, who did hair cutting
shaving in exchange fdr
bread and tobacco, without a
license, was himself clipped
the sura of three dollars,
another “coon” who had
against the peace, dignity and
good order of the city was re¬
quired to deposit four dollars as
a guarantee that he would sin no
more. Altogether Mayor, law¬
yer, editor Merry is one of the
busiest men in Pelham.
The editor of the
made a tour of the business sec
\ tion of the city and found mer
chants and clerks seemingly busy
waiting upon the many custom
rners that were to be seen in all
the stores. Had we the
we would'make special mention
of each place of business in
town, suffice it to say that there
aie more than twenty
firms, some of which occupy
three or more buildings, two
three meat markets, two
stores, three large ginneries,
large cotton midland one of
largest and best equipped cotton
seed oil mills in this section
the state.
Pelham has one splendid bank¬
ing house which is doing a
business and the organization
another has, we understand, been
completed and only awaits
erection of a building in whicp
open business.
Her ban-ell factory is a
in the town, and the many bar¬
rels of syrup that have
found their way to market,
evidence of the fact that its out¬
put is in demand.
The business part of the city
is well supplied with
water and a system of water¬
works, especially for fire protec¬
tion, is being put in. A new
tower over one hundred feet
has been raised, upon the top
which is to be placed a
metal tank that will
about ninteen feet in
and hold many thousand gal
Ions of water, and when
system is completed it will
equal to that of many cities
four times its population.
The Enterprise is proud
Pelham, for it is one of
best towns and shows what
be-done by united effort when
telligently directed.
December 2nd has been
pointed Arbor l5ay for
this year, and
Merritt, took the
in hand, states that the
children throughout the
are much interested in the
bration and that more than
trees will be transplanted on
day to beautify the
school grounds in Georgia.—
The school grounds in
would profit by the
■of the day in setting out trees.
