The Georgia Enterprise October 24, 1889
~Rev. Lee Gray, of Greensboro, a graduate of Emory College in 1887, who has 
been visiting his brother at Columbus, left Monday for Shanghai, China. He goes 
as a missionary under the auspices of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South.

~Gov. Gordon entertained Gov. Hill and party, of New York, at breakfast last 
Thursday. Besides the family of Gov. Gordon there were popular and prominent 
visitors, among the number was Miss Annie Pace, of our city. It was an 
enjoyable occasion.

~We are told that Doctor Frank B. Wright was the first physician to reach Mr. 
W. A. Dyer and family after they were poisoned, and he had them all out of 
danger in a few hours. Of course, Dr. J. C. Anderson rendered important and 
valuable assistance when he arrived.

~A large delegation from Newton county attended the Exposition and witnessed 
the sham battle one day last week. Col. J. W. Anderson, who was a courier for 
General Longstreet during the war, was present and took part in the battle, 
being mounted and filling the position of courier under his gallant old 
commander.

~Mr. John F. Banks, who has been on a visit to friends and dear ones in this 
county, returned to his home in Bluffton, Texas, Monday. Fate has been kind to 
our friend in his adopted home. He has wooed and won one of the fairest of 
Texas’ sweet daughters, is a prosperous stock raiser and successful farmer. 
Long may he live and happy always be.

~Mr. Hugh White recently spent several days abroad. He visited Atlanta and was 
well pleased with the Exposition. It gratifies us to learn that this good man 
is enjoying fine health by his generosity to the poor during and since the war 
he has endeared himself to all our people. Few better men ever lived or died 
than is our friend. May he be spared to his people for many years to come.

~In Sunday’s Constitution we find the following: “The Atlanta district has 
began to show interesting features. It seems certain that Judge Stewart will 
have opposition. In the last race Col. EMMETT WOMACK of Covington, was a 
Stewart man. Now it is intimated that he will be a Womack man. The Colonel has 
the hallelujah lick and as a stump speaker has hardly a superior in the state. 
Imagine a tall, dark haired man with long astute head, happily exempt from the 
fatal gift of beauty, a man
