Moving Into New Building.
The Enterprise is moving into
new quarters this week on Scott
street. The task has been a mast
strenuous one and we will have to
ask our friends to bear with us a
little until we can get settled down
to business again.
The building we are to occupy
has been specially constructed for
this plaut and we expect to lie bet¬
ter able to serve the people of the
town and county in the future, as
well as more conveniently located.
We intend that the Enterprise
shall grow with the town and in
order that this end may be the
more easily accomplished we de¬
cided to get on the ground floor.
Our new home is located between
the Southern Express office and
the Camilla Furniture Co., on the
east side of Scott street. We will
have more room for the conduct of
our business and will be more ac
cessable to those who want to do
business with us. As soou as we
can get things straightened out we
want our friends to visit us at our
new location.
In the meanwhile remember that
we are working at a disadvantage
and be as patient as you can.
Camilla’s Cotton Receipts.
Cotton receipts at the ware¬
houses in Camilla have nearly
reached the 8000 mark, which is
considerably over one thousand
bales ahead of any previous year
on this date. There is still a lot
of cotton in this section to be gin¬
ned, and that ginned in the
country which has not been sold.
When the year’s crop is all in Ca¬
milla’s receipts will show over two
thousand bales more than was ever
received here before.
This increase may be due in
part to a slightly larger acreage in
this section than in former years,
but the fact is also apparent that
our buyers have broken into terri¬
tory that has never been touched
by this town before. The buyers
in Camilla have been paying the
top of the market for cotton and
the farmers have made the usual
response.
Our merchants are selling goods
to people who never traded here
before, the banks have a hundred
thousand dollars more on deposit
than ever before in the history of
the town and the general trend of
all business is toward an increase,
and a healthy increase at that.
These are conditions we had good
reason to be thankful for yester¬
day.
We’ve got the capable business
men, the capital, and the confi¬
dence of the trading public of this
section. There is no reason that
these gains cannot be made
permanent if our business men
will co-operate to that end.
Let the people know that Ca¬
milla has a square deal for all who
come here. Then give it to them
when they come.

Cutting Affray Near Harmony
Church Saturday Evening.
Last Saturday evening Messrs.
Bill Ragan and Ab. Vensley en¬
gaged in a cutting affray on “Loss
Creek bridge” near Harmony
church and as a result the latter is
dead, while the former has only a
small gash on his back.
11 seems that the parties became
involved in the difficulty over a
hog, and Mr. Veasley advanced on
Mr. Ragan with his knife when he
was attacked by Ragan’s dog,
when he turned and ran off seve¬
ral steps and then returned to
again attack Ragan, by which time
the latter had drawn his knife and
when in reach made one stroke
cutting Veasley about seven or
eight inches from which he died
Sunday morning. There were eye
witnesses to the affair. Mr. Ragan
is a brother of J. J. and G. W.
Ragan of this place.
Mr. Z. V. Croom has been in
our town for several days in the
interest of the Southern Bell Tele¬
phone Co., trying to establish a
farmers exchange in and around
Sale City. We believe that this
would do more towards bringing
the farming class of people to the
front and put them in closer touch
with the surrounding country than
anything else they could do.
Dr. V. M. Haygood, of Holly
Springs, Ga., arrived Wednesday
to spend several days in this part
of the country. His wife, who was
formerly Miss Mattie Poore and
who is well known here, arrived
some two or three w r eeks ago.
They will probably locate some¬
where in this part of the country.

Prof. F. W. Freyman last Satur¬

several days in South Carolina at¬
tending to business.

Albany last week.

milla Tuesday.
Sale City seems to have lieen
well represented at the circus in
Camilla last Monday.

day in Pelham on business.

day night with friends iu Doerun.
Judging from having seen a cer¬
tain young man of our town with
an official document issued by
Ordinary, J. G. Wood, we
will have a wedding in town about
next Sunday,
Mrs. C. A. Hiller spent the lirst
of the week with relatives and
friends in Pelham.

making preparations to move there
another year.

Mr. aud Mrs. Sapp, of Lump
kin, are visiting relatives in the
Bethlehem neighborhood this
week. Their marriage was solemn¬
ized in Lumpkin several days ago
and they decided to spend part of
their honeymoon in Mitchell with
relatives. Mrs. Sapp was formerly
Miss Rena Brazier, who has visited
in this county on several occas¬
ions.
Owing to the reduced space at
their disposal in the Auditorium,
the management of the Camilla
Lyceum have decided to charge
children 10 cents admission in the
future. The cutting off of another
recitation room in the auditorium
has considerably reduced the seat¬
ing capacity and they were forced
to make this change in order to
themselves from financial loss.

Beautiful Suits
Popularly Priced
The assortment of beautiful, though
moderately priced, suits at R. L.
Jones & Co’s. Albany, could not
be more pleasing. The variety is
entirely satisfying, there being all
sizes in all colors at any desired
price.
One might pay two or three times what we
want for these suits and not get a more
stylish or prettier suit. The quality would
be more elegant, of course, but there are
stores everywhere which ask more money
for the suits which we are telling you about.
You could not find handsomer or more sty¬
lish shades than are shown in these suits
nor could the style be snappier or more
correct. Unless you told your neighbor,
she would never know that you hadn’t paid
$35 or $40 fot the suits which we offer you.
