The Georgia Enterprise, January 3, 1873 January 3, 1873
~T. A. PERRY and two other gentlemen, killed and bagged fifty-one partridges on 
Saturday last, and didn’t hunt all day either.

~ISHAM KELLY came near freezing to death in the Covington Jail, one night last 
week.

~Dr. T. J. MADDOX has rented the old CHAPMAN place, recently bought by DR. 
BATES, and consequently will remain in Covington another year, at least.

~Friend JONES, of the Livery Firm of JONES & MORRIS, has been afflicted with 
rheumatism for over a week. He has been on the street once or twice, but is not 
able to attend to his business or expose himself, as yet. However, he has 
competent employees at the Stable to furnish the public with good stock.

~Col. A. B. SIMMS leaves for the Legislative Halls of Georgia on Tuesday 
morning next. He will be a Representative that old Newton may well be proud of. 
At the next Congressional election we hope to have the pleasure of stumping 
this District for Col. SIMMS as the nominee of the Democracy for Congress.

~Mr. WM. S. FLOYD will make his headquarters on a plantation in the country 
after this week. Stewart is a generous and popular young man and we regret to 
see him leave town. May a kind Providence throw a hallowed blessing, in the 
shape of a “partner” around his warm heart and in his new home before 
the “closing  scenes” of another year.

~Major J. A. H. HARPER has moved to Oxford. It is with a heavy heart that we 
see the Major leave Covington, for in times gone by we have been the “object” 
which sat idly watching around his fire as the wood and kerosene bill continued 
to increase. We don’t ask for forgiveness because “twas no fault of ours that 
he bossed Stewards Hall.”

~Dr. EDWARD BRANHAM, a young and promising physician of this city, has mastered 
an almost hopeless case of Pleura-Pneumonia. The patient was a Negro whose 
recovery had been given up. But the skill and able management of the case by 
this physician has proven conclusively that he possesses excellent medical 
skill, and in a few years will probably be one of our most successful doctors.
