Baconton Items.
(By School Boy.)
It has been three weeks since the Items
have appeared, but we might say that it
was not the fault of the town. Bacon
ton has been and shall remain the proud
home of her people.
The religious work of last Sunday
might be called “Exceptional,” as Rev.
C. T. Clark lias never held the attention
of an audience, seemingly, more easily,
and never has the truth of this part of
the word of God been more appropriate¬
ly used. He explained that the Bible
was the square and compass of the Lord,
and pointed so definitely to the figures,
that it seems now that no person having
been privileged to listen to him, should
be unable to find their height and stand¬
ing with Jesus.
The League was placed in hands of
« Y w officers on Feb. 12, and a very iu
couraging program was rendered Sun¬
day p. m. The officers elected and re¬
elected were Mr. O. J. Glausier, presi¬
dent, Prof. F. F. Farmer, first vice-presi¬
dent, Miss Mae McCollum, second vice
president, Mr. H. N. Jackson, third vice
president, Col. R, J. Bacon, Jr., manager
of missionary department and Miss Flora
Lynch, secretary and treasurer. The
desires, hopes, anticipations and prayers
of the Leaguers are more League work
and better League work, and an entirely
successful League for 1005.
A very successfully arranged program
was rendered before a largo audience at
the auditorium of the school building
last Friday night. The preparations that
proved so successful had been under the
directions of Prol, Farmer, Mrs. G. P.
Jackson and Miss Ella Bacon. The mu¬
sic pupils of Miss Bacon performed won¬
derfully in both vocal and instrumental
music, The reciters of Prof. Farmer
and Mrs. Jackson did admirably. An
interesting feature of the program was a
debate, Resolved, “That the civil war
has been a benefit to the South.” After
an enthusiastic contest the judges, Dr.
J. P. Sharpe, Messrs. G. H. Reynolds
and Eldon McCollum, rendered a deci¬
sion in favor of the negative.
A new heater has been placed under
tli' school building and now the rooms
can easily be made comfortable on a
cold day. The heater was'pnrehased at
a vast expense, seemingly, yet the chil¬
dren have so encouraged the patrons as
that they do not regret it.
Quite a number of Baconton's gunners
iu company with Rev. C. T. Clark, of
Camilla, and Mr. A. A. Turner, of Pel
ham, spent a very enjoyable morning in
the dove field last Wednesday. Several
hundred birds arc reported to have been
killed.

The weather has been so this*
agreeable that we have not much
else to talk or write about.
Saturday was a beautiful day
and we had a fine sermon by our
pastor, Rev. J. T. Ghore. He
used for a text ’‘For he that
soweth to his ilesh reap corrup¬
tion, but he that soweth to the
spirit shall of the spirit reap life
everlasting.”—Galatians, sixth
chapter and eighth verse. I do
wish that every member could
have been there. Oh, those
words as we sow so shall we
reap.,I; On Sunday he used for a
text, “Therefore Jet us not sleep
as others do, but let us watch
and be sober. For they that
sleep, sleep in the night—and
they that be drunk are drunk
in the night.”—Thessalonians,
fifth chapter, sixth and seventh
verses.
Miss”Carrie Simpson visited
her sister, Miss Maude Simpson,
Saturday and Sunday.
Mr. R. Wingate was shaking
hands with friends at Pineclilf
Sunday.
Mr, and Mrs. A. A. Bullard
visited Mr. L. G. Wingate and
family on last {Saturday after¬
noon.
The childrens’ club at Pineclilf
school had a debate on Friday
last. Their subjects were ‘‘Sum¬
mer and Winter.” Summer gain¬
ed of course, but the children all
did remarkably well. “Brave”
had summer. “True” had win¬
ter. The next will be on “Coun¬
try and CitytLifrv’

Vada Items.
(By Hermit.)
February 15,1905.
Mr. Editor:-— Having seen
nothing in your Enterprise (ing)
paper from this, the southwest
corner of Mitchell county. I have
decided to give you a few items.
Our citizenship is composed of
such men as Tom Rogers, Ash¬
ley Darley, Henry Holt, Rev.
Henry W. Sullivan, John and
, Clem Sullivan, W. B. and W. D.
Whitley, Will Glover. Jace Wil
liams, Jim Keaton, Jim B, Mul
ford, Whit Justice, Jess Pollock,
Green Pollock, Henry Hutto,
Charles Bostwick, Buster Single¬
ton, John and William Allen and
others, than whom no better cit
izens can be found anywhere.
LaGrippe has been quite pre¬
valent in this community for two
or three weeks.
Mr. Ben Golden had the mis¬
fortune to have his left arm
broken on last Friday by falling
from his wagon.
Joe Faircloth, Reland Bennett
and Jim Portivent are all smiles
over the arrival of baby boys into
their respective homes last week.
Cotton is not only king now,
but has become the champion of
gossip, as there seems to be more
talk about cotton just now than
there is about Jesus Christ.
The farmers of this vicinity
seem to pay little or no attention
to what President Harvie Jordan,
of the Southern Cotton Growers’
Association, Martin V. Calvan
and others have to say about re¬
ducing the cotton acreage. They
are preparing to plant just as
must cotton and use as much
guano as they have any previous
year.

Dear Enterprise:- You must
visit me every week. How any¬
body at home or abroad, sick or
well can do without the Enter¬
prise I don’t know, especially
conducted as well as it is now.
Surely the people of Mitchell
county know what a good, woi thy
journal they have now.
As for myself you can state
that they have taken two cancers
from my jaw since my return
here and I am doing fairly well.
'Whether any more will develop
after no one knows. Where the
cancers were taken from my lip
is entirely well and no bandage
is kept on that now. My face
has been fearfully afflicted, but I
am resigned, hopeful and cheer*
ful. God’s grace sustains me in
all my trouble and afflictions.
Let me beg my people, especi¬
ally the old people, to become
Christians indeed, not merely
members of the church, but gen-

A Good Seed Corn.
I have between 100 and 200
bushels of corn of crop of 1904
for sale. The seed was furnished
me several years ago by Capt.
Hammond, of Thomasville, who
called it the “Big Little Cob” and
said he had found it remarkably
weevil proof. I have found it
true. I am feeding now on the
crop of 1903 and Rev. W. L. Cur¬
ry and others will tell you that
it is no trouble to find good seed
eai sin this old corn. Get this
corn; select the most flinty ears
every planting. Pour two buck¬
ets of salt water over each load
in housing and you’ll have no
trouble with weevils.
