The Georgia Enterprise May 12, 1892
     On Thursday last, in company with deputy Sheriff L. O. WRIGHT, we spent a 
pleasant day in Gaither’s district, making our headquarters at Henderson’s 
Mill, now the property of Mr. Augustus STARR. We were welcomed by Messrs. 
STARR, W. H. and G. W. EDWARDS, W. M. MCCART and a few others. The young corn 
and cotton look well down there considering the dry weather. Grain in abundance 
has been planted and a few showers will insure a good crop. Bear Creek is being 
thoroughly drained and no more fevers will be heard of in that section. Mr. 
Jack MEADORS has his farm in fine condition, so has Uncle Billie MCCART, Hank? 
EDWARDS and other industrious men in that favored region. We fished a while in 
the shoals and caught a 6 ½ pound carp. We were told, while there, that every 
time any one caught any fish in the shoals that Uncle Billie MCCART would run 
to his trap and then go up in the pond and put out a fresh trot line. Also, 
that Billie EDWARDS would get up a crowd and move his fish trap every time the 
wind changed. We carried our dinner, but had several invitations to dine. At 
noon Mrs. G. W. EDWARDS sent down a pot of strong coffee, a big bowl of sugar,  
cups, saucers and spoons. The people in Gaither’s district are hospitable and 
social, and as a rule are moral and religious. We return thanks for the kind 
treatment extended during our day at the Mill.
