Entered at Camilla, Ga., post of¬ fice as second-class matter. ~ FRIDAY, DEC. 1C, >904._ 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.

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.
