The Georgia Enterprise January 31, 1889
~Col. Wm. S. McHenry, of Madison, spent a day here last week on professional 
business.

~Miss Laura Penn, of Starrsville, has been on a visit to friends and relatives 
in Monticello.

~Messrs. J. W. Anderson and O. H. Tucker spent part of Friday last in Madison.

~Mr. I. W. Brown will keep fine young mules for sale and continues to sell them 
cheap.

~Mrs. S. P. Thompson has returned from a pleasant visit to relatives in 
Jonesboro.

~Messrs. T. M. White, J. B. Meadors and several others left on a visit to 
Florida the other day.

~Col. W. S. Upshaw spent Saturday and Sunday with dear ones in Walton County.

~We regret to learn that Capt. G. M. Cunningham is in feeble health caused from 
a severe cold and cough.

~Dr. F. H. McCalls, the new dentist, has only been here one month and he is 
getting all the work he can do. The Doctor is a fine dentist.

~Mr. Algie Thompson, son of R. H. Thompson, Esq., has been on a visit to the 
electric well at Hillman, for the benefit of his rheumatism. We hope our young 
friend will be greatly benefited by his visit.

~The Henry County Times says:- “Hon. L. F. Livingston, of Newton, a candidate 
for Governor, and, by the way, one of the smartest talkers in the State, was 
over among his Alliance friends Monday.”

~A friend tells us that Mr. Benjamin J. Pierce has a new suit of blue clothes, 
and that a report has gained circulation that Ben is one of the marshals of our 
town. From the smile that he wears and the style he assumes one might be led to 
infer that he was president of the late bagging trust syndicate. Such 
inference, however, rapidly departs when Ben draws that Waterberry watch to 
ascertain what time to go on duty.

~Captain Thomas Weaver says if he is ever hung he will give his body to Hon. O. 
S. Porter. The Captain further says that in case anybody does try to hang him 
he will fight all the way from the jail to the gallows, and then the newspapers 
will have something sure enough to write about. Mr. James Farmer says Tom will 
never be hung, but will die an honored death, unless he gets scared to death at 
a thunder storm, or kills himself accidentally by stepping on the tooth end of 
a garden rake.
