The Georgia Enterprise April 25, 1889
~Dr. J. A. Wright has his soda fount in full blast and we know that spring is 
here sure enough.

~Mr. W. B. Harvey and John L. Stephenson had a pleasant time Monday in Rocky 
Plains District.

~Rev. W. H. LaPrade will preach the commencement sermon and deliver the 
literary address at Clinton college, Kentucky, in June.

~Messrs. Francis and Fowler are putting up some extra delicious soda water at 
their popular bottling works here.

~We regret to learn that Miss Sallie Wells has been on the sick list for 
several days,. May she soon be blessed with perfect health again.

~John W. Mason, Commissioner of Internal Revenue, has been in office only five 
weeks, yet he has fired out every Democrat who held a position in the bureau.

~Mr. W. W. Keith, the great piano rebuild, repairer and tuner can now be found 
at the Pitts House. He is a gentleman of fine address and a first class workman.

~Dr. J. M. Brittain, Mr. J. T. Corley and Mr. C. E. Cook of the Baptist Church 
here will attend the Georgia Baptist Association which holds it session  at 
Marietta on April 25.

~Mrs. Eddie Cruse is now with Miss Emma Wright in the Millinery and Hat 
trimming business. Call and see the new and handsome goods just received.

~Dr. Lafferty’s lecture on “Lack of Luck with Lee,” did not meet the 
expectations of the large audience present. It was brief, and carried with it a 
sentiment that the Southern people will never applaud. The people expected mush 
of the  Doctor and in consequence were sorely disappointed. His idea of “luck” 
may be all right, but his criticism on the cowardice of the Revolutionary 
Fathers did not meet with the approval of our people. His recital of historical 
events may be true, his eulogy on Lincoln and Grant may be patriotic, and 
still, his lecture fell flat on the ears of his hearers. He is a brilliant man 
and might have given us a lecture that would have been appreciated and 
applauded; yet, somehow, he did not do it. Doubtless “luck” was against him. 
Perhaps he had “lamb and onions” for dinner. Who knows? Let us have another 
lecture on “Lack of Luck with Liberty.”
