Entertainment Tonight
A number of the young people
of Camilla have organized them¬
selves into a local Dramatic Club,
for the double purpose of fur¬
nishing clean and attractive
amusement for the people of Ca¬
milla and surrounding territory
and to raise funds with which to
put a neat fence around the
School grounds and to make some
other needed improvement to the
music room of the school build¬
ing.
The play to be presented to¬
night. “Diamonds and Hearts” is
an attractive one and our local
talent will exert themselves to
make their part of the entertain¬
ment a success. In fact they
have arranged a splendid pro¬
gram and no one who is able to
go out should miss the evening of
«ntertainment or fail to contrib¬
ute so nothing towards the laud¬
able aim the Dramatic Club has
in view.
Go out tonight, enjoy the
play and help fence the hogs off
from the school children.

Thrcc|Sheriif’s Advertisements
in Twelve Months.
During the year 1904, Sheriff
Smith has not been troubled over
nruch with having to advertise
Mitchell county,property for sale
at public mit-cry to satisfy judg¬
ments issued from the courts
against parties for unpaid debts.
In fact the Enterprise which is
the legal organ of the county, has
only had to publish three sheriff
sales for the entire year. One
for November sale day, one for
December ai d one, now running,
for January sale day 1905.
The first two did not go to sale,
because of the fact that, either
claims wej-e filed or settlements
made without letting the property
go to sal *,
What better advertisement can
any county have than this. It
shows, beyond question, that ‘he
people of Mitchell county are not
only prosperous but that they
pay their debts, and therefore
thio c nooi be other than an in¬
viting field for that class of imoii
gratiuii that is seeking new homes
where they wid be surrounded
svith prosperous and honest neigh¬
bors
It is a veritable 1 Og, hominy
and>hay county, as is demon¬
strated by the fact that Mitchell
county farmers furnish bacon and
hams enough for local demands
for more than half the year, be¬
sides furnishing potk for the
markets if her near-by cities
nearly all the year round.
Her farmers, especially those
who wn iheir own homes, pro¬
duce more than enough corn for
their own consumption and many
of them sell hundreds of bushels
each year, while it is no uncom¬
mon sight to see big wagon loads
of hay for sale on our streets.
Is it ary wonder then that a
county vtiih a record of this kind
Joes not have many sheriff’s sales
paraded in her public gazette?
Mitchell County Syrup.
Mr. J. B. Palmer, of Camilla,
has furnished the Herald with a
simple galion of'Mitchell county
syrup—this year’s vintage. It
was attractively sealed in a tin
case manufactured for the pur¬
pose, and we are glad to be able
to bear testimony concerning the
excellent character of the “long
sweetening” itself. We have seen
no finer syrup in this or any other
season.
The time seems to have come
in the agricultural history of this
section when the farmer who
knows how to make good syrup
is not a ram avis. The syrup
yield of Southwest Georgia is in¬
creasing at a phenomenally rapid
ra e, and the majority of it is
good syrup.—Albany Herald.
What is true of Mr. Palmer’s
syrup is true of almost every far¬
mer in Mitohell county. They
make syrup and large quantities
of it is shipped to northern mar¬
kets, in barrels and tins. That
put up in tin cans is preserved
and kept in better shape than
that put up in barrels and brings
from 10 to 25 cents per gallon
more,
Telfair Enterprise: The En¬
terprise stands “pat” for making
the old party come around point
blank to Southern principles, and
a just recognition of Southern
men, or for the organization in the
South of a party that will stand for
the principles Of government in
which our people believe.
Every real thought on every
real subject knocks the wind out
of somebody or other. As soon
as his breath comes back he very
; probably begins to expend it in
hard words. These are the best
evidences a man can have that
he has said something it was time
to say.—Oliver Wendell Holmes.
