The Georgia Enterprise January 17, 1889
~Mrs. D. A. Thompson has opened a private school at her residence.

~Mr. G. T. Wells is trying the electric well again this week.

~Judge J. G. Lester will have his law office at the court house, being in the 
room with Sheriff Anderson.

~Mr. James Clark, of Gum Creek district, left for Texas Monday. He will make 
his home in that state and move his family there this fall.

~Judge McNeil, who is on the road most of the time, says trade has been 
extremely dull in Middle Georgia for three weeks past.

~Mr. Preston Worsham, one of our friends and fellow-citizens, came near being 
seriously if not fatally injured while coupling cars on the Covington & Macon 
railroad in Athens the other day. We trust he will soon recover from the 
bruises received.

~Our new ordinary, Judge James M. Belcher, went over to Griffin and took the 
oath of office before Boynton Friday, and entered upon his duties Saturday 
morning. He has rented a home on Monticello Street. We trust health, happiness 
and prosperity will bless the home of himself and his interesting family.

~The pleasant face of Mr. John L. Stephenson can now be seen at the bookkeepers 
desk in the popular establishment of Messrs. Heard, White and Thompson. Long 
live John and happy may he ever be and so may it be with everybody connected 
with this solid, progressive and accommodating firm.

~Mr. Wm. A. Hix, so well and favorably known here, will not go into the 
undertaker’s business at Monticello but will continue to make his home in 
Covington. This is well, for he cannot well afford to part  with it. ______ a 
progressive young man, as is our friend and fellow-citizen. We need more just 
such men.

~It is to be hoped that county commissioner J. W. Sockwell will keep his eyes 
on the public road from town to Brick Store, especially should the road through 
Alcova swamp receive immediate attention. Mr. Sockwell received the highest 
vote of any of the Commissioners and he has many warm friends in the county who 
would like to see him make Chairman of the new Board.
