MR.. FOY AND A GENTLEMAN"

Edward Foy, the comedian,
who played heroic part, at the
recent fire in the Iroquois
Theater, Chicago, is in private
life, a quiet, unobtrusive man.
Nevertheless, when occasion de-
mands, he is capable of exhibit
ing off the stage much of the dry
humor that he displays upon it.
Not long ago, while the guest of
a New York club, he was accost-
ed by one of the henderson,
of the type of those who are
politely dubbed "insufferable
cads, who said
so you're Eddie Foy, eh?"
Yes" replied the comedian.
Well" asked the other, ag-
excessively, do you feel at home
among gentleman"
Quite. Do your" answered
Mr.. Foy bland1y.
I AM gentleman: y under
stand?" snorted the aggressive
one.
And I'm an actor, thank
goodness!" retorted the come
dian.
And a bad one at that" was
the reply.
How did you form that O.
pinion?" asked the unruf1ed
Foy.
by seeing you play once
only once. l couldn't stand for
a second time"
"Um," reflected the actor, IF
[ recollect right, you were a
member of Mr.. Blanks box party
last L ueSday night. L saw you
from the stage"
We'll, what if l was?"
Nothing, nothing, Only every
theatrical manager knows that
the grumblers, the won't-be-
pleased-at-any-price people, the
critical cranks, are always the
deadheads' of an audience. You
did not pay for a ticket on the
occasion in question, for l sent
Mr.. Blank an invitation to the
box, with my compliments. y
Success.

II. G TURNER.

The Enterprise regrets the
resignation of Associate Justice
Henry G. Turner, who is not
only an able jurist, but an up
right man, and, Notwithstanding
his place will be filled with by a
capable, good man, his resigna-
ton amounts to distinct loss to
the court.
The editor of this paper has
the profoundest respectfor Judge
Turner and enthusiastic admir-
alton for the man who deliberate
ly surrendered the high office
of congressman rather than put
himself in the attitude of repre-
senting constituency that diff
fered from him on vital issue.
Mr.. Turner is now an old man,
and when he is gone no man will
withhold from him the honor and
praise due one of the greatest OF
Georgians.

ed. The county is noted for The
number of it's substantial bridges,
all constructed of iron. For
years the substantial farmers
would permit of no wooden
structures. There is not a
prisoner in the county jail, nor
has there been for several years.
The jail is used for she1tering
tramps during the winter. The
county poor house is empty and
the farm is a source of revenue.
The circuit court seldom lasts
over two days because there is
no litigation.
In the past two years there
has not been a criminal case tri-
ed in that county and but one
jury trial and that was a suit
brought by a man against his
mother-in-law for alternating the
affections of his wife.
No prisoner from Edwards
County has been sent to the
penitentiary in thirty years, a
record which has not been equal
ed by any community of equal
size in the world where any
blance of order was maintain
ed.
In thirty years there was but
one saloon in the county and that
was allowed but a single year.
The farmers are prosperous,
the cities and villages are well
kept and these improvements
have been made without the tax
on saloons which are considered
so necessary to carry out public
improvements.
Edwards County is the envy of
her neighbors and doubtless
stands alone unique in the Unit
ed States.-Hillsboro Journal.
