J. Pope Brown was born May
4, 1855, in Houston county, Geor.
gia and at the age of l year his
parents moved to Pulaski county
where Mr.. Brown has lived ever
since and successfully cu1tivat ed.
He attended the common schools
of the county and afte rwards
went to school to Ex-Governor
Northen at Mount Zion, in Han
cock county. From there he
went to Mercer, from which col
lege he was graduated at the age
of IS years. He returned to
Hawkinsvil1e and accepted en-
ployment in the mercantile bust
ness, but farming was his natur-
al bent and he soon took up the
work on his fathers farm and
his choice of vocations has been
eminently successful. In 1880
he was married to Miss Annie
Righton Miller, of Augusta. He
has represented this county in
the legislature several terms and
his last public service is as rail-
road com missioner, which posi-
ton he will retire from the COM
ing fall.
Personally Mr.. Brown is very
quiet in his demeanor. He likes
company and his home has al
ways been hospita BILE one. He
has revo1utionized the farming in
his immediate section and his
lands are cultivated in a business
like way. He is very popular at
home and has many true friends
who will assist him in his cam
paign for the democratic nomina'
ton for governor.

Brighton, Ca, April Is, 'O5.
EDITOR ENTERPRISE:
I notice an article under the
heading of New County Talk, 9
and signed by "Citizen," in The
Irwinville Courier, and want q
reply to some of the assertions
in that article.
Being a ful1-fedged Citizen
myself, and having some actus
knowledge of facts contrary u
"Citizen's" assertions, I have
concluded to write something q
what I know.
From inquiry of honest, rep
utab1e citizens of Fitzgerald cor
corning the alleged packed mas
meeting" I am advised that &c
was not packed" as a matter of
fact, for the new county move
ment.
From my own knowledge
there are more than few doe
citizens in Irwin county VIII
feel great interest in the pro
posed formation of these me-
counties; even in our immediat
community there are numbef
of ''unse1fish citizens" who 4
not object to other peoples we
fare. Even some prominent eli
liens of Irwinvi1le do not oppos
these counties, because the
know the geographical positie
of the sections and the wan
and needs of the people and the
realize the necessity of these ne
counties.
Now, how "Citizen" procure
his information on which to ba
his assertion that there were By
flew people in Irwin couut
wanting new counties, =" in th
face of the vote of the coun
ratify1ng the amendments a
ating new counties, and at
same time Triton and Ashbu1
were recognized as claimants q
new county locations, do ne
understand.
I do not believe that "CitizeA
is really a citizen of Brighton,
signed; and who really doiu
that he resides in Irwinville?
When and how will the CT
alton and formation of a ne
county affect taxes? The pes
pie, I believe, differ with him
to this assertion. the 500, DOC:

together with ali the rest of ;
assertions, and read between u
lines that, regardless of fact
these assertions were made

Tam pa, Fla, 4-23-'O5.

Editor Enterprise:-We are
still enjoying the tri-weekly
visits from THE Enterprise
and feel closely in touch with
the people of Fitzgerald and all
that is transpiriug there, tho
many miles of sand and piney
forests lie between us.
We often meet people and
former acquaintance from your
city and it is always with glad
hand we welcome them to this
the queen city of the west coast.
We picture to ourselves of
times the little Office where we
held sway so many months and
we never hear the click of the
telegraph wires, but a feeling of
inconsistencies so to speak comes
over us. Somehow it is very
hard after a business life of
years for the writer to settle
down to dishwashing and watch
ing the flowers grow under the
semi-tropical sun, or cooking
that boiled dinner for the bigger
half, or darning up sock holes,
etc. which comes to all who keep
house, but love after all, even in
a cottage is a wonderful tonic
and we rather enjoy it.
We have had summer here so
long we have forgotten it was
ever winter, much less spring,
yet in a recent issue of the En-
terprise we noted frosts and
cold enough to endanger peaches,
etc.
Mr.. Editor, the moving spirit
is on, would it not be we'll for
FITZGERALD TO come farther south
and share with us the balmy
skies and never fading hues of
south Florida, where we defy
King Frost and his yearly visits.
We surely would welcome all
who come and know even if the
old Fitzgerald is a garden Of per-
lection in many ways, we, down
here would like to show our
varied attractions to our former
friends and neighbors.
But we desist from penn ing
more just now.
We are proud of Fitzgerald
and it's prosperity and the En-
terprise also, the latter is surely
doing much good for the town
and we tip our Easter hat to the
Editor, future Mayor, Represen-
tative and ere long Governor,
from south Georgia-the latter
is no Joke, and why not Governor
it sounds good, looks good and
will do good.

The trip thus far has been un-

was set upon by two tramps in

Engine drivers as a rule are
probably no more supershtlous
than any other class. There are
many curious beliefs among them,
however, some of them of long
standing. A superstitious en-
CINE driver or fireman, for exam
pie, will never trust an engine
that has been in an accident as ne
would another engine. 1t may
be the finest machinery, but he
will never feel quite as easy
about her after she has been in an
accident, more particularly if she
started her working career with
a bad record, having met with a
mishap on her trial run.
Many engine drivers maintain
that the turning table on which
the engies are turned, should al
ways be turned round from east
to west and north and south
that is to the right and if this
direction is not taken the engine
turned will meet with a mishap.
They make a point, often at great
inconvenience to themselves, of
being present whenever their en-
gines are turned, in order to as
sure themselves that it is done the
right way, or if in their absence,
it has been wrongly done, they
will have it set right before they
climb into the cab. Numerous
accidents are attributed to en-
gines being turned from east to
west with the front buffers turn
ed toward the north.

You Never Know the Moment
When This Information May
Prove of Infinite Value.

It is worth considerable to any
citizen of Sistersville to know
how to be cured of painful, an
noying and itching piles. Know
then that Doan's Ointment is a
positive remedy for all itchiness
of the skin, for piles, eczema, etc.
One application relieves and
sooths. Read this testimony of it's
merit:
Mrs. Sadie Ranger, of 60S 9th
street, Marietta, Ohio, says: "Mr.
Ranger has had no reason to
change his opinion about Doan's
Ointment, which was expressed in
our Marietta papers in 1900. He
had been troubled with hemor-
rhoids for some time and this was
the first remedy which afforded
him positive and complete relief.
We have used Doan's Ointment in
our family as need has arisen with
the children and find there is moth
ing to equal it for relieving itch
mess or irritation of the skin, with
which they have been troubled.
Doan's Ointment is all that it has
ben represented to be, and we
give it our most earnest endorse
ment."
