The Georgia Enterprise January 24, 1889
~Justice Bower will keep his office in the room with the Ordinary.

~Doctor Travis spent a day or two recently with friends and dear ones in 
Conyers.

~Mr. John Bagby and family have moved to Conyers and will make that place their 
home for the present.

~Mr. Wm. N. Bailey and family, of Cave Springs, will make their home in 
Covington this year.

~Mrs. J. M. Brittain gave her Sabbath school class an elegant supper at her 
home on Friday evening last.

~Prof. E. W. Tugwell, of Atlanta, will give a series of recitations at Oxford 
Friday night.

~Judge A. M. Speer, of Madison, one of the grandest old men in Georgia, was 
here on professional business a few days since.

~We regret to learn that Rev. Dr. J. M. Brittain has decided to resign his 
position as a teacher in our female college.

~Mr. Augustus Swann has been on a visit to friends and relatives in Conyers for 
several days past.

~It is said Mr. Geo. Swords, the well known distillery man, of Walton Co., will 
move here this summer and operate a government distillery somewhere near town.

~Our popular saddle and harness manufacturer, Mr. W. W. Martin, late of 
Virginia, is turning out some elegant and substantial work from his shop in 
this city.

~Miss Jeanie Wright, of Covington, is visiting friends and relatives in 
Augusta, and on Wednesday evening, Mrs. Boykin Wright gave a “progressive 
hearts” party complimentary to Miss Jeanie, who is quite a favorite in Augusta 
society.

~Mr. J. W. Worsham left on a visit to Florida Saturday. He got lonesome, the 
blizzard was approaching so he went down to join his good wife who had been 
away from him five or six days. May friend James have a pleasant visit and a 
safe return.

~At the first meeting of the new Board of County Commissioners, on Monday last, 
Mr. T. C. Swann was elected Chairman, and Col. E. F. Edwards, Clerk. Both are 
fully competent to discharge the responsible duties of their respective 
positions.

~Among the pictures of wealthy Kentucky beauties, published in Sunday’s Macon 
Telegraph, we notice that of Miss Elizabeth Weathers, who spent several weeks 
last year in Covington as the guest of Miss Annie Pace. The picture, however, 
is not near so handsome as is the charming Miss “Bettie” herself.
