The Georgia Enterprise December 5, 1889
~Mr. James T. Cook is slowly recovering from a severe spell of fever.

~Miss Mamie Corley, of Oxford, has been on a visit to Miss Lena Stovall of 
Madison.

~Mr. Joe Lewis got up a crowd of the boys Friday and caught 46 rabbits.

~Hog killing time is here and Judge Jno. V. Woodson is getting fat and keeps in 
good humor.

~Hon. L. F. Livingston is attending the National Alliance Convention which 
convenes in St. Louis today.

~Subscribers to the Newton County Farmers Alliance Stock Company are requested 
to pay their subscription to Major J. F. Henderson.

~Rev. L. H. Harris, of Oxford, preached two excellent sermons at the Methodist 
Church here Sunday morning and night.

~Rev. J. W. Roberts, who has been financial agent of Emory College for the past 
two years, will re-enter the pastorate, the duties of agent devolving upon 
President Candler.

~Miss Nellie Neal, one of our cultured young ladies, is developing considerable 
talent as an artist. She has several very charming paintings which would do 
credit to any amateur artist. It seems to be a gift with Miss Nellie to handle 
the brush with ease.

~Col. Wm. S. Upshaw, a brilliant young lawyer and companionable gentleman, who 
has been in Covington for more than a year, left for Atlanta Monday where he 
has secured the position of Line Attorney for the Richmond & Danville railroad, 
from Atlanta to Greenville, Miss. His office will be with Jackson & Jackson. We 
wish him success in his new field.

~We get this item from the Henry County Weekly: “Mr. Dean Everitt, the sweet 
singer of Covington, made some of our local vocalists open their eyes. As Si 
McKibben expresses it, “when it came down on the line they opened their eyes 
and looked to see from whence emanated those dulcet strains.” Mr. Everitt has 
won quite a notoriety, both at home and abroad, as a singer.”

~Hon. J. T. Henderson, our present faithful and experienced commissioner of 
agriculture, has consented to become a candidate for the position and will 
submit his name before a democratic nominating convention next year. That he 
will have opposition is now a settled fact, for Hon. Martin V. Calvin, of 
Richmond County, is already in the field. A little later on we will have more 
to say on this subject. This office is now elective.

~Mr. W. E. Smith and family have moved to town and are occupying the Thos. Camp 
residence on Floyd Street. Monday last these generous friends presented us with 
enough spare ribs, back bone and sausage to last us more than a week. Such kind 
and substantial remembrances are always appreciated. We wish for Mr. Smith and 
his household a long life of peace and plenty. May success crown his every 
effort while here on earth he dwells, and when the cares and responsibilities 
of this world are over may himself and his loved ones find rest eternal in that 
brighter, better world beyond the stars.

~The supper given for the benefit of the Presbyterian Church at Mrs. Dyer’s 
residence Friday night, was a success in every particular. Quite a number of 
our people attended and all report having a delightful time. The floral 
decorations and well filled waiters of choice eatables were very attractive. 
The parlors were brilliantly lighted and warm fires glowed in every grate, 
although without the weather was cold and disagreeable, and yet, mirth and 
pleasure reigned within the hospitable home of Mrs. Dyer. $42.30 was realized 
from the supper. A correspondent of the Atlanta Constitution tells us 
that “after supper those present repaired to the parlors and the evening was 
pleasantly passed in social converse and games of various kinds". The 
entertainment was in charge of Mrs. Winfield Scott, Mrs. D. A. Thompson and 
Misses Ludie and Lottie Hendrick and Miss Eugenia Dearing, and these ladies are 
to be congratulated on having made it a perfect success.
