The Georgia Enterprise June 4, 1891
SOMEWHAT PERSONAL

~Mr. O. H. TUCKER has been very sick at his home near the depot.

~Bailiff BOYD tells us that RICHARD BROWN has corn, five feet high.

~Mrs. JACK MEADORS has discovered gold on his plantation near LeGuin, six miles 
south of Covington.

~Mr. and Mrs. JOHN ALLEN, of Houma, La., after visiting relatives and friends 
here, left for home Friday.

~Mr. JOE WRIGHT began the erection of a $1,100 cottage on Floyd Street Monday.

~Mr. LOVICK STEPHENSON, of Athens, spent Thursday here as the guest of his 
sister, Mrs. C. H. WHITE.

~Miss OLA HOLLIS returned from school at Nashville, Tenn., Sunday, to the 
delight of her many friends here.

~Mrs. T. P. CALLAWAY and her little grandson, WILLIE STEWART, returned to 
Lexington, Friday.

~Mr. ADDISON HARPER is very low and in all probability will never recover from 
his present illness.

~Mr. MCNEAL, JR., is now with the Southern Granite Company at Lithonia. Good 
Luck to our friend.

~Mr. C. P. GOODRICH, of Augusta, spent several days here recently as the guest 
of Mr. and Mrs. W. C. CLARK. He was looking well.

~Dr. POTTER, one of the Missionary Secretaries, will preach at the Methodist 
Church Sunday night. Everybody invited. No collection.

~Presiding Elder BIGHAM preached several sermons at Madison recently where a 
protracted meeting has been in progress at the Methodist Church.

~Deputy Sheriff L. O. WRIGHT was severely hurt the other day by his horse 
falling and throwing him to the earth. He is up and about again.

~Mr. W. A. EDWARDS, of Washington City, is spending a few days with friends and 
loved ones here. He is looking fine and doing well.

~Mr. JEWETT S. CALLAWAY, of Oglethorpe County, spent Sunday here. He has 1,100 
acres planted in cotton and half that much in wheat, oats, corn and cane.

~Mr. INGRAM, a pleasant young man from Putnam County, made many friends during 
his brief sojourn here. He is a brother of Mr. W. R. INGRAM, of this city, and 
will always find a welcome when he comes this way.

~Mrs. M. J. PERRY has purchased the R. L. LOYD house and lot on Floyd Street, 
and will move there this fall. Mr. LOYD has bought a lot on the same street and 
will build a new residence at an early day.

~Mr. James Cook, one of the oldest and best men in the county, was quite sick 
for several days last week. His many friends here and elsewhere will be glad to 
learn that he is much better and bids fair to recover his health again.

TOWN AND COUNTRY, EVERYTHING AND EVERYBODY

~A gentleman who has the courage to do so, says that unless the use of dynamite 
is discontinued to kill fish on Alcova and Yellow Rivers, he will report some 
of the parties to the grand jury and prosecute them in the courts. The penalty 
is fine or imprisonment or both.

~It seems difficult to get up a barbeque or picnic in Covington so that the 
married men can take their wives. Suppose we get up one and every fellow leave 
his wife at home and take home other men’s wife? This would doubtless be a 
howling success, but might prove a dangerous experiment.
