The Georgia Enterprise March 3, 1892
SOMEWHAT PERSONAL

~Miss Annie PERRY has returned from an extended visit to relatives at Newborn.

~Miss Jackie STEPHENSON recently spent a week very pleasantly with friends and 
relatives in Conyers.

~Master Tommie WOODRUFF is recovering form severe burns about the face, caused 
from a premature discharge of gun powder.

~While here last Saturday Mr. James H. RICHARDS said he would certainly be in 
the field as a candidate for the legislature.

~Col. A. A. MURPHY, of Atlanta, spent a day or two here last week, and went on 
a bird hunt with Col. MIDDLEBROOK and County Commissioner PERRY.

~Dr. P. WILLSON has many friends in Newton County who are anxious for him to 
enter the race for the legislature, this is especially true in his own district.

~Mr. Frank C. DAVIS, candidate for commissioner of agriculture, is receiving 
many nice notices from the papers in this section. In the meantime Col. NESBITT 
is sending out little packages of seed to his special friends.

~Hon. Boykin WRIGHT is a candidate for re-election as solicitor-general of the 
Augusta circuit. The Hon. Billy DAVIS, of Burke County, will oppose him. Mr. 
DAVIS was a member of the last two legislatures.

~Col. Wm. A. BROUGHTON, of Madison, attended the speaking here Saturday. So did 
State Treasurer Robt. U. HARDEMAN. It is whispered around that Brother William 
would like to have Uncle Robert’s place, as State Treasurer.

~Hon. Emmett WOMACK has accepted a position as assistant division counsel for 
the Richmond & Danville railroad, with headquarters in Atlanta. He will resign 
the Solicitor-Generalship of the Flint Circuit, to take effect April 1st.

~Livingston’s speech at Covington captured the state. His political stock is 
rated higher now than it has ever been. His enthusiastic reception by the 
people of his home county must have been very gratifying to him. Livingston has 
saved the state from the third party. Macon Telegraph.

~Little Madge WRIGHT, of Elberton, is with her grandmother, Mrs. Franklin 
WRIGHT, who is visiting her daughter, Mrs. CHESTNUT,  in Savannah. At a recent 
entertainment there Miss Madge captivated the audience by her exquisite 
rendition of “Dolly and I.” She is gifted in elocution and charms all who hear 
her.

~Col. E. C. MACHEN; Acting Alliance President WILLSON, of Americus; Hon. E. T. 
ZACHRY, of  Henry County; Hon. Sanders WALKER, of Monroe; Hon. Boykin WRIGHT, 
of Augusta; Hon. Mark HARDIN, of Bartow; and a score or more of other prominent 
Georgians spent Saturday here and listened to the speech of Hon. L. F. 
LIVNGSTON.

~The course of Congressman LIVINGSTON in Washington and St. Louis in standing 
up squarely for the Democratic party and trying to keep Alliance men from 
falling into the error of going off after the Third party, deserves 
commendation. President LIVINGSTON is proving himself the true friend of the 
Alliance. Augusta Chronicle.

TOWN AND COUNTY

~The name of Col. Chas. T. ZACHRY, of Henry County, is suggested for Congress 
from the sixth district. Col. ZACHRY was a leading member of the last senate.

~Election of School Commissioners: There will be a written examination of 
applicants for the office of County School Commissioners, at the Court School 
Commissioners, at the Court House in Covington, on Thursday, March 10th, 1892 
at 9 A. M. The Law directs that the election of County School Commissioners 
shall occur on the same day after the examination. H. H. STONE, President Board 
of Education Newton County. Oxford, Ga., Feb. 23rd 1892.

~Messrs. W. L. QUINN and Wm. SOCKWELL will soon have their machine shop 
completed and be ready for all kind of work. They will make a specialty of 
engine and gin work and will repair any and all kinds of machinery. They will 
have a plaining mill in connection with their shops and possibly a foundry. 
Both are master workmen, just from the best and largest machine shops in 
Atlanta and will guarantee satisfaction. Their shops will be on one of the 
O’Kelly lots, between town and the depot.
