Give Dance to Boast of y!liainies
Committed by Braves.

| Committed by Braves.
John Bradbury, who travelled in the
region lying west of the Mississippi
river early in the last century. has an
interesting description Of a squaw
dance which he witnessed. He says:
The dance was performed in a circle,
the dancers moving around with toma.
hawks in their hands. At intervals
they turned their faces, all at once,
toward the middle of the circle and
brandished their weapons. After some
time one of them would step into the
ring and make an harangue, FREQUENT
~ brandishing her weapon. found
that the nature of all the speeches
was the same, which was to boast of
the actions of their husbands One
woman said that her husband had
travelled southeast to a country In.
habited by white people, which jour.
ney took him twenty days to perform.
he went to steal horses and when he
came to the white peoples houses he
found one where the men had gone
out. Here he killed two women and
stole from them number of horses"

Mrs. De Long Finds That the indie.
scribable Pains Of rheumatism Can
Be Cured Through the Blood.

Mrs. e. M. De Long, of No. 100
West Broadway, Council Bluffs, Iowa,
found herself suddenly attacked by
rheumatism in the winter of 1896.
She gave the doctor chance to help
her, which he failed to improve, and
then she did some thinking and ex-
perimenting of her own. She was so
successful that she deems it her duty
to tell the story of her escape from
suffering:
my brother-in-law," she says, was
enthusiastic on the subject of DR..
Williams Pink Pills as purifier Of
the blood, and when was suffering
extreme pains in the joints of my an.
kles, knees, hips, wrists and elbows,
and the doctor was giving me no re-
lief, began to reflect that rheuma-
tlsm Is disease of the blood. and
that If DR.. Williams Pink Pills are
50 good for the blood they must be
good for rheumatism and worth
trial.
Il was in bed half the time, suffer
Ing with pain that cannot be described
to one who has never had the disease.
1t would concentrate sometimes in one
set OF joints. When it was in my feet

elbows and wrists l could not even
draw the coverlets over my body.
had suffered in this way for weeks
before began using DR.. Williams
Pink Pills. Two weeks after began
with them I experienced relief and
after had taken six boxes I was en-
tirely well. To make sure continued
to use them about two weeks longer
and then stopped altogether. For sew
eral years l have had no reason to
use them for myself, but have rec
them to others as an ex-
cellent remedy"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills furnish the
blood with all the elements that are
needed to build up healthy tissue,
strong muscles and nerves, capable of
bearing the strain that nature puts
upon them. They really make new
blood and cure all diseases arising
from disorders of the blood or nerves,
such as sciatica, neuralgia. partial
paralysis, locomotor ataxia, st. Vitus'
lance, nervous prostration, anemia
Ind all forms of weakness in either
male or female. They are sold by all
druggists.

Too Much for the Hen.

A more or less truthful Australian
relates that he put an unusually large
porcelain egg in the nest of a hen
and found that the next eggs she laid
were of the increased size. Then he
put goose egg In the nest. The hen
laid an egg Just as large. He was 90
pleased with the scheme that he put
whitewashed football in the nest.
When he went the next time to search
for eggs he found one as big as a
football, but no hen in sight. Secur-
ing the egg. he saw engraved on It,
by hen photography, these words:
I'm no ostrich, but I've done my
best Later he found the hen inside
the egg.

Masons Have a Banquet
and a Royal Good Time

Last night being the regular
meeting of the Masons in this
city, they invited all members
and visiting members to be pres
ent as there was something spe-
cial on the program. After the
regular routine business the
the Master called for ". b.
Moore and enquired of him
whether or not he was ready to
proceed with his part of the ex'
ercises and Moore stated he
would be ready in very few
minutes, and after some little
time he announced that every
thing was ready. Ali present
proceeded to follow Mr.. Moore
who had prepared the elegant
oyster supper and every body
seemed to enjoy it to the fullest
extent, especially Bros. Moore,
BLIZZARD and Seanor. It is safe
to say that in oysters eating con-
tests one of these worthy gentle
men would win the blue ribbon,
and there are a few others who
would not be far behind, as
Campbell for instance and Shorty
Pearson.
All present pronounced it one
of the most enjoyable evenings
spent in the hall for some time,
and hope to see a repetition OF
the programme at some future
date. Xxx

ters? l think not.

| tGIS! luIAh nut
Suppose, for the sake of argu-
ment, we admit the ginner's re-
port is true. Does that lessen
your expense in making your
crop, or does it make your COT
/ ton worth any less because the
people know you have it? 1t is
yours all the same. The buyers
are not going to take it anyhow
and give you their price, unless
you agree and let them have it.
We all know our merchants have
large stock of goods. Does that
give us the right to price them?
Can we say to our merchants
you must take SOC. for $1.0O
worth of goods and make him
take it? I think not. We are in
better shape to force our goods
than any other business for we
can do without a great many
things we buy, but the people
must have something to eat.
To illustrate the most success
full men advertise their business
and stock of various kinds, and
vet so many argue that because
they, the money and speculator
com bine, know we have some
cotton we must take a 1oosing
price for it. To know where to
buy a hat, pair of shoes or suit
of clothes is not a reason why
the merchant should take half
price for them. On the other
hand does this same com bine,
that reduces your labor or cotton,
do they offer YOU what they hav
to sell at the same reduced rates
or do they sell little higher be-
cause you have got fair price
for a part of your crop. This
brings us up to another item in
agriculture, guano. would ask
YOU TO look we'll into the fertile
ger matter as the time has come
and the guano agents are among
US, we would, / believe, have
more money, and more hog and
hominey as the saying goes, if
we wouldn't buy pound 6f
guano for another year, but buy
what acid phosphate and kanite
you need to mix with your cotton
seed & lot manure. Put that un-
der corn, cane, potatoes, peas,
eroundpeas, aud other food
crops and plant cotton without
any manure. This would re-
duce the cotton crop to where we
could get fair price for it. Also
it would give us bumper food
crop, so we would be able to tide
over the old excuses made by
some " must sell. For instance
see what the grain growers are
doing. The reports say they
have a bumper crop and they say
you may have my grain at a liv-
ing price see what you are paying
for flour and other grain and hay
crops.
See what the wages.men are
doing for themselves by organic
ing, and we are surely as able to
help ourselves as they are.
Now. brother farmer, for the
sake of our country, homes and
our famileys don't sacrifice your
manhood to a com bine that will

AN APPEAL TO THE FARMERS.

Fitzgerald, Ga, Dec. 18th 18th O4.
Dear Enterprise:-If you will
allow me to would like to talk
to my brother Farmers through
YOUR columns. In the first place
l will ask you my farmer friends
to hold your cotton for better
prices. Why? Because 1t is
YOUR hard labor between the
plow handles, and the present
price is not fair price for your
labor, further without an ex-
ception our best posted men say
the Agricultural estimate, or
Ginner's report is too large.
Secretary Hester's discovered
that the figures erred by 10000
bales for the past week and tel
legraphed his discovery, but IN
the meantime a lot of cotton was
sacrificed. What can we say to
keep the farmers from acting on
the report of spectators? 1t
seems that they have had enough
6eriance on this line to know
ef is act on the other fellows
ires.
the farmers will act together
cad get 10c for the balance

cotton seed after allowing
ena 4 reasonable per cent for

k1ey ali have the same price.
And further, we must begin to
cast about and find ways and
means to gin our own cotton.
We have given our business OF
ginning to people who say by
their combines formed to get our
seed for less than their worth,
that we don't appreciate, nor
want your cotton to gin, to say
nothing of ginner's reports.
They may be concerned IN this
item further than simply the re-
port. We must come together,
put up our own gins, and do our
own work. Somebody will say
we can't have Oil mills. Ihat is
exactly what we don't want, for
they have ever been among the
farmers worst enemies. While
the mill companies grow rich, the
farmers have suffered that much.
Everything is plain to everyone
who will read and think a little.
The farmers have no business

patronizes and gives his business
to, and must do his own and
