The Georgia Enterprise May 2, 1889
~Miss Lizzie Parks, of Oxford, has been visiting Miss Mamie Hardwick at Almon.

~Mr. C. S. Jarboe reports everything in good order in and around Snapping 
Shoals.

~Misses Janie Wright and Charlie Porter furnished and arranged many of the rare 
flowers that decorated the Methodist Church on Easter Sunday.

~Mr. John Travis, who has a prosperous school in Bibb County, is on a  visit to 
relatives here. He is a brilliant young man and deservedly popular in his new 
home.

~Mrs. Turner, of Jonesboro, who is one of the noblest ladies in the land, is on 
a visit to our city as the guest of her daughter, Mrs. S. P. Thompson. She is 
looking well.

~Mr. Houston A. Jones hurt one of his arms quite severely the other day by 
being thrown from a wagon. He is slowly recovering from the injury received.

~Col. Emmett Womack understands the art of introducing speakers to an audience. 
The Colonel is a useful man any way you take him and anywhere you place him.

~Mr. R. E. O’Kelly, of Atlanta, one of the best and most industrious young men 
in Georgia, spent several days of last week with friends and dear ones in this 
city and county. He was in fine health.

~Rev. J. S. Callaway and son, of Bairdstown, has been on a visit to our city as 
the guest of Dr. and Mrs. J. M. Brittain. Mr. Callaway is a brother of Mrs. 
Brittain and one of the best men in Georgia.

~Mr. Wm. Boyd, one of the progressive citizens of Stansell’s district, is said 
to have the finest acre patch of oats in the county. He brought an undeveloped 
bunch in town the other day that measured 52 inches in height. “Billie” is a 
successful farmer, an accommodating bailiff and a mighty solid man.

~We had a brief but pleasant call from Mr. Rufus F. Dick, of Newton Factory, 
Friday last. He expressed the opinion that in a few years the magnificent 
waters powers in his section would be utilized and that new mills and factories 
would be erected on the banks of Alcovahatchie River. It always makes us glad 
to shake the hand of Rufus Dick, for he is ever hopeful and cheerful and has a 
kind word for everybody. Newton Factory and Newton County has not truer son or 
more faithful citizen than is our friend. Long may he live and happy always be.

~The memorial address of Col. Wm. S. Upshaw, on the afternoon of April 26th, 
was eloquent, impressive and appropriate to the occasion. The patriotic 
sentiments expressed were approved by all present. It was the old, old story, 
which becomes dearer and dearer every time it is told. The friends of Col. 
Upshaw were proud of the effort he made, and the compliments bestowed upon him 
were deserved. There is a future before this talented young man, and if he but 
wills it, and is only willing to labor and to wait, honor and distinction is 
sure to be his reward, fame and fortune will bless his efforts if he devotes 
his time and talents to the cause of the good, the useful, the true and the 
beautiful.
