A Race for Business Houses

There was something like a
race yesterday for the store room
lately vacated by the Oxfords.
Harry Herschberg got in at the
home stretch and secured the
room at $50 per month, and will
fill it up with an assortment of
Ladies ready made clothing and
dry goods. Mr.. Herschberg is
from Brooklyn, New York, and
is here on account of the health
of his little son, who has asthma.
The rest of the family are on
their way to Fitzgerald.
After listening to the report of
the above encouraging business
prosperity, we sauntered on
down to the next block, on the
same street-Pine-and on our
way two gentlemen were pointed
out to us as parties who were
looking for store rooms. They
had just arrived and wanted to
open up some kind of merchan-
disc in the live1iest town in this
section of Georgia. They found
several new business houses
nearing completion, a1re d y
leased before they were ready
for occupancy.
We turned our steps Office
ward and on the way where be-
seiged twice by an urgent appeal
for dwelling houses. We cited
the parties the many, very many
houses now building and almost
completed, to hear the same dis
couraged cry" They are al
ready spoken for" In some
cases a months rent had been
paid in advance before the frame
was up. We give it up. For
one time we have run up against
a problem whose solution is be-
vond our ken. We hurried on
to the Enterprise Office for fear
our little corner in the compos-
ing room might have found an
other tenant.

In Memory.

Of our deceased sister, Mrs.
Efle Delks. The Church o f
Prospect, together with friends
and relatives, mourn the loss of
their loved one. The sad death
of our sister occurred on No
VEN Der second, 1906. Although
young in years, she was a devout
, christian. having been reared by
a christian father and mother.
She was the daughter of Rev. w.
M. NARROW, former pastor OF
this church, and was born July
6, 1887, in Harry Co., South Caro-
lima, and moved to Georgia when
only seven year old. She leaves a
broken hearted husband, father
and mother, and three brothers,
who some day will be called to
meet her in that upper and bet
ter world. May the bereaved
ones look to Him who giveth and
who taketh away. and say, Thy
will be done" It is our earnest
desire that this sad dispensation
of divine providence will be their
eternal glory.

GEORC|A'S new
STEAMSHIP Line


Georgia's new steamship line
between Brunswick and New
York, and Brunswick and the
West Indies, was inaugurated
yesterday.
We have all known about it for
some time, known that this new
and important route was to be
opened to traffic by the Brun-
swick Steamship Company, but
the important moment came
when real connection was estab-
lished with the Georgia port by
the arrival on time of the new
steamship Brunswick" at the
city whose name it bears.
And then the graceful "Brun-
swick, after discharging and tax
ing on various articles of cargo,
departed from Brunswick on her
further mission. which is to build
: up a West Indian, trade through
the Georgia port.
No wonder the officials and
citizens of Brunswick, as our dis
patches state, crowded to meet
the steamer, giving her splen-
did welcome, as in honor of a
great EVENT.
1t was certainly an occasion
important ia the commercial his
tory of Georgia and the south
indeed, no less important to At
lanta as com mercial center, for
with the Atlanta. Birmingham
and Atlantic railroad working in
conjunction with this new line,
this city must become the gate
way of a great bulk of the traffic
between the interior west on the
$500 I'D he West Indies
ffets on tn e
UH passenger and freight ac-
nodations on the Brunswick
are said to have been taxed to
their capacity, an indication that
there has been only a small be-
ginning in the development of
one of the greatest and most i'm
portant trade channels the south
has ever known. 1t is already
settled that one steamer OF the
Brunswick type will not do the
work, and others must soon be
put on, in addition to the freight
ers which are now employed.
Through the Atlanta, Birming-
ham and Atlantic railroad the
new steamship line will reach a
vast section of country through
out middle and south Georgia
and Alabama, heretofore lacking
in direct connections, but whose
recent marvellous developments
has attracted an attention almost
worldwide.
The Inauguration of a tran
sportation line of this sort is not
step, but great stride, in the
direction of commercial prog
ress.
Atlanta and Georgia will well
come it as the most important
developer of recent years.-Con-
stitution.

WOMANS HOME
MISSION SOCIETY
Of The Central NJ. E. Church

second Monday in month.
Awake my soul, and clothe thy
self with joy; for thy Lord hath
been gracious unto thee.
Break forth into songs of
thanksgiving for all His manifold
kindness.
Behold. He hath brought thee
to the threshold of another year.
Yea, another page of the book
of life is disclosed.
Record not, o Lord, my sins
nor remember my past iniquities.
In the blood of my Redeemer
wash out my transgressions.
Throughout the year may |
grow in grace and in Thy favor.
Grant me strength, 0 Lord,
to walk in Thy fear all the rest
of my days.
Draw me ever closer to Thy
great heart of love, O, Lord, in
the name of my Redeemer.
May Thy kingdom come more
fully this year than ever before.
Thine, o Lord be the glory
and the dominion, for ever and
ever. Amen!
AS we stand upon the thres-
hold of the new year we are re-
minded that this is the season
for making resolutions. We can
not change the past but we may
make and keep worthy resolu-
tons.
AS we turn backward to re-
view the course of our lives dur
ing the months that have gone,
we look over the pages of our
past year. and sum up our achieve
ments and failures. The task is
not pleasant one, for the record
is rarely satisfactory. One
year ago the pages were pure
and white and now they are COW
cred with writing, here we see
hasty lines written in red ink of
passion, there we see dark lines
written in the black ink of envy
and malice.
Less Invisible we see t b e
white lines of purity and love and
more often than others appears
the lines and sentences in the
blue ink of ordinary conduct, of
mixed 2lotives.
We review page after page all
the same, and the sad things
about it we can net change a line
not a word, not even a letter.
What will the pages of 1907 be
are you willing that the record
should be the same as last year
or will the writing on thes pages
be such as will be pleasing to
Our Heavenly Father?

NEW GOLD STRIKE
 IN THE RELItf MINE
A Four-Foot Vein of Rich Quartz En- countered on the 300-Fo Level.

Superintendent George Hamlin came in from the Relief mine last evening and reported a fine strike in that property yesterday. It occurred on the 300-foot level. which is being driv- en further to the west The level seems to run in the same general di- rection as the vein just encountered. though the latter crosses the level at an angle.
 It was broken through yesterday, and measured four feet in width. The formation is quartz and seems to car ry better values than anything recent ly encountered in the mine. though no assays have yet been made. Some of the men employed believe the four foot vein will average twenty dollars a ton though MT. Hamlin says he will be pleased if it holds up to fourteen dollars which he believes is a con- servative guess at the values.

HELPED HER LOVER
 STEAL HER AWAY
Story of the Elopement of Former
 Phoenix Girl in Colorado.

The following story of an elopement was found in copy of the Glenwood. Col. Avalanche. sent to J. l.. Cant of this city and will interest some Phoe- nix readers who knew the bride when she was q little girl, living in this city with her parents
 Telling her parents that she intend ed to spend the night with a girl Ifriend in the country. Miss Ada B. Connor. the pretty fifteen-year- daughter of Mir. and Mrs. w. A. Con- nor of New Castle. joined George Woolverton. son of State License In- spector Woolverton. according to a lprearranged plan and came to Grand Junction. where they were married Saturday morning. In securing the marriage license from Deputy County Clerk Steele Woolverton swore that his bride-to-be was IS years old
 "The parents of both the bride and groom strenuously objected to their marriage, which was proposed some time ago, insisting that they should wait a few years as they were too young to think of such a step. The couple were determined however. and after pleading in vain for consent ar ranged to meet each other at the New Castle deopt Friday night. After suc- cessfully pulling the wool over the eyes of her parents Miss Connor put in her appearance at the station just in time to meet her waiting sweet heart and catch the train for Grand Junction.
 ''The marriage was performed at the home of Mrs. Holden. d friend of the groom's family. at S03 South avenue. Five minutes after the knot had been tied Woolverton's father arrived at the Holden home hot on the trail of the runaways, as he had gotten wind of the elopement Seeing him at the front door through a window Mrs. Holden secreted the youthful couple in closet until f she could break the news. Mir Woolverton stOrmed for time. but finally gave his forgiveness reluctantly and the couple came out of the closet and received his blessing.
 The parents of the girl. however, thought her safely on the ranch near New Castle, and were astounded when they were apprised of the carriage. Mir Connor. who conducts a restau- rant at New Castle. fairly raved, but it is believed that he will not interfere now inasmuch as the ceremony has been performed.

RATS AND THE PLAGUE.

IL is now an accepted fact by bac- teriologists and other authorities in India that future efforts to stay the ravages of the plague must first and foremost be concentrated upon the extermination of the rats. What a gigantic-one might almost write su- perhuman-task this will be any one who has the slightest acquaintance with India will realize. Calcutta. Bom- bay. Poona and. indeed, every town and village from north to south and from east to west, swarm with rats, which multiply at an alarming rate. Much may be done, of course, in the erection of new buildings to see that these are as rat-proof as human skill and ingenuity can make them. and this is something that is being i'm pressed most carefully upon every To- cal building authority in the depen- dency at the present time. - London Telegraph.

THE MIRACLE OF sUNBURN.

Has it every struck you that sum- burn is a miracle? Probably not Yet such is the fact.
 When you go down to the seashore. and back in the summer sum- the light attacks you fiercely. first reckoning your skin then swelling. bistering and scorching it. If you kept in the sun long enough and the miracle did not occur. the sunlight would kill you. burning off your skin first and then fiercely attacking the raw flesh.
 But the miracle does occur The skin changes from it's pale color to a tan, and upon this tan the sun has no effect The sun may beat on a tan colored skin for days, for weeks. for months. but the skin will remain all ways sound.
 And so nature works her miracles. The white skin is suffering, and na- ture, aware somehow that a tan skin is sunproof. changes the white to tan.
 To prove this miracle-to prove that it is not the hardening of the skin. but the change in its color which pro- tects it from sunburn-is an easy mat ter.
 Let pdie peISoH' uHusueu to tile sun, stain one side of his face yellow. and, leaving the other side untouched, go out in the bright summer sun fof a couple of hours. The one side of his face is no tougher no more hardened than the other. yet the unstained side will be inflamed, blistered. while the tan-colored one will be quite cool and unhurt.
 Sunburn Is a miracle. protection to mankind, as ineXerable and as won derful as the miracle of how the arctic animals change in the winter from dark coats to Snow-white ones.-Answers

BUT CUTICURA WORKS
 A MIRACULOUS CURE

"when my little boy was six months old he had ezcems. The sores extended so quickly over the whole body that We at once called in the doctor. We then went to another doctor, but he could not help him, and in our despair we went to a third one. Matters be- came so bad that he had regular holes in his cheeks, large enough to put a finger Into. The food had to be given with c spoon, for his mouth was covered with crlsts as thick as finger, and when- ever he opened the mouth they began to bleed and suppurate. as did also his eyes. Hands, arms, chest, and back, in short the whole body was covered over and over. We had no rest by day or night. Whenever he was laid in his bed, we had to pin his hands down. otherwise he would scratch his face and make an open sore. l think his face must have itched most feaHully. ..
 We finally thought nothing could help, and l had made up my mind to send my wife with the child to Europe, hoping that the sea air might cure him, otherwise he was to be put under good blessed, matters came differently. and we soon saw a miracle. A friend of ours spoke about Cuticura. We made a trial with Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and Resolvent, and within ten days or two weeks we noticed a decided i'm provement. Just as quickly as the sickness had appeared it also began to disappear, and within ten weeks the child was absolutely well, and his skin was smooth and white as never before. F.
