The Georgia Enterprise November 21, 1889
~Judge and Mrs. P. E. Banks have been on a visit to Macon this week.

~Wilkins Willingham and Walter Corley are perhaps today two of the happiest 
young men in Georgia.

~Dr. W. W. Evans accompanied the remains of Mrs. Ellison to Portsmouth, Va., 
remained to the funeral and returned Sunday.

~Miss Lena Stanton, of Warrenton, a very attractive and charming beauty, has 
been on a visit here as the guest of Mrs. J. T. Corley, Jr.

~Mrs. S. W. Hawkins is visiting relatives in Oglethorpe County this week and is 
no doubt “having a hog killing time.”

~Mrs. Sadie B. Gray and Mrs. D. S. Parks, of Brick Store district, have moved 
to town and are occupying part of Mrs. C. D. Pace’s residence. We welcome these 
gentle Christian ladies to  our community and trust they will be satisfied and 
contented in their new home.

~During the alarm of fire Saturday night Judge J. D. Lester received slight 
bruises on the head by the fall of a ladder, while Marshal Horton got his face 
slightly disfigured by a fall in running to the place. No other accidents 
happened, although the night was dark and stormy.

~Mr. W. R. Powell can repair and put in order fine guns. He made a new spring 
for our hammerless ‘fuzee’ the other day, that works nicely. He can also mend 
your watches, clocks and all kinds of machinery, and his prices are very 
reasonable. He can be found at J. S. Peek’s popular furniture establishment.

~Mr. D. C. Fitch has been elected general manager of the compress company, with 
Col. J. W. Anderson as Secretary and Treasurer, Messrs. J. F. Henderson, W. C. 
Clark and J. W. Anderson are authorized to procure certificates of stock to be 
issued to stock holders. Everything is now ready for compressing and for 
business. Bring along your cotton.

~Messrs. L. L. Middlebrooks, R. W. Bagby, Edward and W. M. Heard, H. I. Horton 
and S. W. Hawkins bagged 53 partridges on a bird hunt Thursday last. 
Middlebrook lead the score with Edward Heard and Horton next, while the other 
three made a tie. “Bones,” an ugly mangy seven months old pup, belonging to 
Middlebrook, set and found birds like an old dog. All returned well pleased 
with the day’s sport.

~We regret to learn that our friend, Mr. Edward P. Carr, will withdraw from the 
popular firm of Messrs. Swann, Stewart & Co., about the first of December and 
make his home in the State of Tennessee. Mr. Carr is a gentleman of true worth 
and high integrity, he is thoroughly educated in the art of honest business 
principles, is energetic, benevolent and generous. May heaven’s choicest 
blessings be and remain with him wherever his footsteps may chance to roam.

~A delightful sociable and oyster supper came off at the new residence of Mr. 
and Mrs. W. H. Wells, on depot street, Thursday evening last. There were ten 
couples present, besides a few other invited guests. It would be difficult to 
get ten more bewitching and charming beauties together than were those present, 
while the young men were full of life and made up in gallantry what they lacked 
in good looks. It was an occasion of solid enjoyment and exquisite pleasure, 
especially to those
“Who love to court in winter,
Because the old folks dread
The cold and stormy weather
And hurry off to bed.
