The Georgia Enterprise November 28, 1889
~We had a pleasant call from that good man, Dr. Henry Quigg, of Conyers, on 
Monday last.

~County Treasurer Henderson is recovering from a brief but severe bilious 
attack.

~It gives us pain to learn that Mr. James T. Cook is dangerously sick with 
fever. We hope he will soon be sound and well again.

~Misses Alice and Eva Dearing are visiting relatives in Savannah. Mr. John M. 
Dearing is visiting friends in Mississippi.

~Judge Thos. M. Meriwether and wife, of Washington, have been on a visit to our 
city as the guests of Col. and Mrs. J. G. Lester.

~We learn that Mr. Robt. W. Terrell expects to make $10,000 clear on his patent 
coffee pot next year. We trust these expectations will be fully realized.

~Read the notice of S. J. Kelly & Bro., and if you owe them anything call and 
settle the same at your earliest convenience. Do not overlook this matter.

~On Monday last Messrs. Edward Heard, T. D. Guinn, E. O. Lee and our editor 
bagged 43 partridges, leaving town after 8 o’clock in the morning. That is good 
hunting.

~Rev. Dr. James L. Pierce and wife so well known in this community, have moved 
to Dallas, Texas, to live with their son, Col. Foster Pierce, who is practicing 
law and doing well in that city.

~A pleasant party came off at Mr. N. C. Lee’s Brick Pillar place on Friday 
evening last. His charming daughter’s, Misses Maude and Claude, were 
instrumental in getting up the party and did all in their power to make the 
occasion enjoyable. Quite a number of young people from town were in attendance 
and all report have had a most excellent time.

~There will be a supper at the residence of Mrs. E. D. Dyer Friday evening, 
Nov. 29, for the benefit of the Presbyterian Church. Supper, from 7 to 11 p.m. 
Everybody cordially invited.  We hope the people of this community will 
patronize this supper liberally, for our Presbyterian friends are always 
generous in their patronage to every worthy object. Be sure to attend.

~Our friend, Dr. W. J. Higgins, of Fayetteville, Tenn., sends us a paper giving 
an account of a “corn contest” in his county. Mr. Brit Dillingham had 10 years 
of corn that weighed 16lbs and 10 ounces. 280 ears of this corn weighed 402 
pounds and 12 ounces. Thus it is that less than 50 ears of this corn would make 
a bushel, allowing 70lbs to the bushel. There were 28 entries and all exhibited 
fine corn.

~We will pay cash reward of 35 cents for any information which will lead to the 
discovery of the hard-hearted wretch who came to our shanty one cold night last 
week, during the absence of our better-half, and sung this song:
“I’d rather be a bachelor,
   Than be a married man,
Because I do just as I please,
   The married as they can.
For when a man doth marry,
   His freedom he must loose,
Give up his all and then submit
   To do as his wife may choose.”

~Messrs. Thompson & Farmer are ready to store and insure cotton at 25 cts. per 
bale, and make flattering advances on every pound. They have plenty of money 
and are not only willing, but are anxious, to do all in their power for the 
farmers of Middle Georgia. Both are experienced cotton and business men and 
take pleasure in filling orders for goods and supplies at prices heretofore 
unheard of in this city. Call and see them at their store and warehouse, 
opposite the depot, also read their advertisement in this paper.
