The Georgia Enterprise April 25, 1889
     Col. James W. Anderson is a great advocate of “home missions,” and as soon 
as he heard of Henry Grady’s effort to establish a Confederate Soldier’s Home, 
in Georgia, the fires of patriotism were kindled anew in his warm heart. He 
knocked the ashes from his cigar, run his hand up to the elbow in his breeches 
pocket, brought forth a ten dollar note that had been hid there for hard times, 
and headed a subscription paper with that amount for this most worthy object. 
He then securing additional subscriptions and intends to keep the list open 
until everybody can have an opportunity to give something. It is not often that 
we take our hat off to a country editor, but in this instance we lift our 
old “Last year’s straw,” high in the air, and with out-stretched hand 
exclaim, “Put it there, brother. Well done thou good and faithful servant. May 
you dwell long in the land, and may health, peace and plenty ever bless thyself 
and thy household.” Below is a list of those who freely and gladly responded in 
the call made by Col. Anderson, and what we have said in praise of his public 
work applies with equal force and is so intended, for each and every individual 
contributor.
