The Georgia Enterprise
     A party of young men sat up with a corpse at the residence of Mr. C. L.
Bowker, on last Sunday night. Although the subject is a delicate one, yet the 
behavior of three of those young men should be known, and laying their foolish
threats aside, we propose to treat the affair fearlessly. One of these heartless
creatures, for the merriment of his associates, and to the disgust of the more 
refined present, carried the coffin about the room in his arms, and acted in a 
disgraceful manner during the entire evening. When society takes into its fold,
such dead-beats and heathens as two of these fellows have proven themselves to 
be, no wonder it degenerates. But 1st it should be said in honor of our fair
sisters of Midway that they have resolved not to recognize in their society
any young man who stoops so low. Their company was not desirable on this 
occasion, and well they know it. After they had been repeatedly requested to 
behave themselves they paid no attention to the appeals but continued their 
devilment. If it becomes necessary we shall give the names of these parties. 
(Last sentence is unreadable)
