Death Of AGr. Joseph B Wilson.
The Enterprise, in common
with the people of Camilla and
Mitchell county, is bowed with
grief over the death of Mr. Joseph
B. Wilson, rhich sad event occur¬
red at the home of his father, Mr
J. M. Wilson, at about 12 o’clock
on last Tuesday, attended by Jhn
wife, his parents, his brothers
and sisters and other relatives
and friends.
The funeral services were he'd
at the home and were impressive¬
ly conducted by Rev. A. Mu
Lauehlin and Rev. E. S. Atkin¬
son, the respective pastors of
the Presbyterian and Baptist
churches, the pastor of the de¬
ceased, Rev. C. T. Clark, being
absent in attendance upon the
conference at McRea.
A large number of the friends
and acquaintances of the de¬
ceased gathered at the home to
pay their respects to the memory
of this good man.
After the services at the home
the remains were taken to Beth¬
any church, four miles south of
Camilla, where they were laid to
rest beside other loved ones who
had preceded him to the home
beyond.
In the death of Mr. Joe Wilson,
not only his family, but Camilla
has sustained a great loss, but
his splendid Christian character
will live after him. being the
richest inheritance a man can
leave to family, friends or coun¬
try.
This is the fourth time during
the present year that Camilla has
been called upon by an alwise
Providence, to give up one of her
brightest and purest young men,
whose daily walk was worthy of
emulation, and while our hearts
are sad over our loss, yet let us
submit to the will of the Fa¬
ther, who doeth all things well.
Requiescat in pace.
Tomorrow’s Election.
Agreeable toan order published
by the Ordinary, an election in
each district in the county will
be held tomorrow for the- pur¬
pose of electing Justices’ of the
Peace and Constables, to serve
their respective districts for a
term ol two years.
In the Camilla district there is
considerable electioneering by
the different candidates and a
lively time in expected.

D. W. Morgan, Geo. X. Johnson,
J. A. Dollar and L. A. M. Alii—

stable’s place.

eat, Jell-O, the delicious desert.
The Butler-Bush Co.
The harvest edition of the At¬
lanta Constitution published last
Sunday was a splendid paper
and was a big advertisement of
many sections of the state. It
was a special tribute to cotton,
whose white mantle covers the
people of the whole earth.

$.SO,OUO IN IMPROVEMENTS.
Camilla Steadily Forging to the
Front as One of the Best
Wiregrass Towns.
The ring of the hammer and
trowel and the hum of the saw is
daily music in Camilla just now,
and what is true of the present
has been true of the past four
months and from the amount of
work that is in contemplation,
will be true of the next twelve
months.
In addition to german’s new
two-story brick store which is re¬
ceiving the finishing touches, is
the two two-story brick stores of
the Messrs. Cochran, and the
new jail building, all of which will
soon be ready for their roofs, and
the new ware rooms, that Messrs.
Baggs <fc Perry are building,
which will give to them 7,200 feet
of additional floor space. This
means quite an addition to Ca¬
milla’s large area of land in
the business portion of town,
that is covered with brick and
mortar.
To these is to be added another
story to the Spence building, now
occupied by Perry’s Pharmacy,
which, with the contemplated
City Hill will give to Camilla an
added investment in brick build¬
ings for the seasons of 1904-’05
of nearly or quite thirty thousand
dollars.
While these improvements are
being pushed forward in the bus¬
iness portion of the town, the res¬
ident portion is, by no means,
being neglected. Many old resi¬
dences arc being remodeled, new
roofs being put on,* and new ad¬
ditions made and many handsome
new homes being built, among
the latter now uuder construction
are those of Messrs. T. B. Twitty,
G. C. Cochran, C. C, Spence and
G. J. Stripling, with large' addi¬
tions to the homes of C. L. Tay¬
lor, W. C. Spence, G. B- Coch¬
ran, j. H- Palmer, Frank Butler
and others.
The Enterprise understands
that the above enumerated im¬
provements now under construc¬
tion is but a beginning of what is
in contemplation. The homes of
both Dr. J. M’ and Judge W. N.
Spence are, at an early day, to
be remodeled and another story
added to each, while it is said
that a number of new buildings
have been contracted for, to be
built during the next year.
Putting it all together it is no
exaggeration to say that fifty
thousand, or more dollars in the
way of improvements will be ad¬
ded to the taxable values of prop¬
erty in Camilla for 1905 over that
of 1904. %
Otterbein Quartette.
A fairly good house greeted
the Otterbein Male Quartette
here Friday night of last week.
They displayed excellent control
of vocal powers, and while thepro
gram rendered was exceedingly
light, altogether it was a pleas¬
ing entertainment.
The readings by Miss Forbes,
a Georgia girl tilling the place of
Miss Adams on the pi’ogram,
were especially worthy.
City Court.

court convened last Monday,

posed of, only three or four cases
being heard. The court adjourn¬
ed Monday afternoon to Thurs¬
