The Georgia Enterpris February 28, 1889
~Miss Charlie Porter, of Cedar Shoals, has been on a visit to friends in 
Atlanta this week.

~Mayor Middlebrook says he don’t intend to use any guano on his plantation this 
year.

~Mr. Patrick H. Ferguson intends visiting friends at his old home in Madison 
county next week.

~Captain A. J. Webb has purchased the old George Berry place, on McDonough 
Street, from Capt. J. M. Levy.

~Hon. L. F. Livingston will deliver an address in Carrollton Tuesday next, it 
will be on agricultural topics and in no way of a political nature.

~Capt. G. W. Collins, the great granite man, has promised us that he will come 
down to Newton and make an examination of our granite beds.

~Cols. Middlebrooks, Dickson and Edwards spent a day or two of last week 
attending Rockdale Court, while Cols. Rogers and Upshaw spent most of the week 
at Walton Court.

~Dr. Benjamin Yancey will open a dental office in Eastman, Ga. Ben is here on a 
visit now, and will leave for his new home Monday. We wish him health and 
prosperity all along the journey of life.

~Mr. I. W. Brown, must have some idea of marrying and going to house keeping 
for on Tuesday morning, before breakfast, we heard him talking about oysters on 
the half shell, broiled chicken, baked shad, quail on toast, strawberries and 
ice cream, hot rolls, cheese and kisses, fruit cake, apple dumplings, etc. 

~The Jasper county News says that our friend, “Mr. Julius W. Hays has left 
Monticello for a new field of labor, probably Birmingham, Ala. While here he 
made many friends, who sympathized with him in his recent misfortune by fire, 
and wish for him a successful and prosperous future.”

~And now comes J. T. Jossett who makes an affidavit to the effect that he has 
long wandered in the gloom and darkness of single cussedness and is desirous of 
taking  unto himself a better-half at the earliest possible moment. Jossey is 
not overly handsome but he’s powerful industrious, having put up a fence one 
mile and a half long and cleared seven acres of land within 30 days. If you 
wear bustles and are anxious to marry just drop a postal card to Jossey, who 
lives about three miles from town on the Monticello road.
