The Georgia Enterprise February 25, 1892
SOMEWHAT PERSONAL

~Mrs. Robt. LIVINGSTON is dangerously sick at her home on Floyd Street.

~Mr. W. C. CLARK is slowly recovering form a severe spell of sickness.

~Mrs. HARRY CAMP continues in feeble health.

~Mr. J. W. PURRINGTON  is recovering from a severe bilious attack.

~What is the matter with Emmett WOMACK when it comes to selecting a Senator for 
the 27th district?

~Mrs. Franklin WRIGHT is spending some time with her daughter, Mrs. Addie 
CHESNUT, of Savannah.

~Several days ago, Samuel CHESTNUT, of Rocky Plains, had one of his front 
fingers badly cut in a gin. Wednesday, while at the depot looking after the 
unloading of some cotton, a bale fell on him and hurt him quite severely. This 
good man has about recovered from the injuries received. May no more accidents 
befall our old friend.

~Mr. A. H. S. DAVIS is teaching a class in penmanship, at night, in Music Hall. 
He is a master of this art and his prices are always reasonable. Arrangements 
are being made so that he can give 24 full lessons to school children at one-
third the regular tuition price. Now is the time to give the girls and boys 
writing lessons at a cheaper price than ever before offered by a competent 
teacher.

~Mr. T. A. STARR has one of the largest and best assorted stock of goods, in 
his store at Starrsville, that we ever saw outside of a large town or city. He 
has a fine trade and deals in the best goods to be found in any of the markets. 
It is a pleasure to trade with “Dolph,” and his genial brother, Capt. S. H. 
STARR, for they are always in a good humor and have a kind word for every 
customer and caller.

~Miss Minnie MABRY, a most excellent and cultured young lady, has a flourishing 
school at Anderson Chapel, three miles south of town. As a teacher she is kind 
and attentive to every pupil, and yet she has her school well disciplined. The 
people in that section are to be congratulated upon securing the services of 
so  worthy and efficient a teacher, and show their appreciation of her worth 
and merit by giving a liberal patronage and substantial encouragement.

~Mr. Augustus STARR has two of the best arranged ginneries in Middle Georgia, 
one being located at Starrsville and the other at Henderson’s Mill. At the 
first he has ginned over 700 bales of cotton this season, and at the other over 
500. His mills, shops and farms all pay handsomely. He is a large land owner 
and a tireless worker. He is a model young man in every respect and free from 
all the vices so often found in many of the young men of this day and 
generation. Polite, social, kind and courteous, it seems strange to us that 
friend, “Gus” can remain so contented and happy without some fair one “to love 
and to caress.” He says, however, that he can’t find any one who will have him.

NEWBORN NEWS

~Capt. Robt. CHILDS has returned from Florida. He killed a dozen deer and had a 
fine time.

~Miss Mattie GLASS has a flourishing school at Sewels and is giving 
satisfaction to parents and pupils.

~Mr. J. R. DUKE has moved to the country, a few miles from town, and will farm 
on an extensive scale this year.

~Miss Fletcher PENNINGTON, of Shady Dale, is attending school at Palmira 
Institute, one of the best educational institutions in the State.

~The young people had a fish fry at the pond of Mr. R. A. PITTS a few evenings 
since. W. E. STOWE and R. A. PITTS were the “bachelor belles” of the occasion.

~Mr. W. W. CHILDS, has just finished sawing a bill of fine lumber to build a 
new home. He says this is the third bill he has sawed for this same purpose, 
but he is fully determined to build this time. No other special local news, so 
I will write no more now, for somebody “you know” is very anxious to see the 
prettiest and best girl in Georgia tonight.

TRULY, UNO
