Rev. Frank S. Hollett, the eloquent
-devine in charge Of the M. E. church
nat Williston was accused by a few
;s.of the women OF his flock, OF ac-
-cepting hush money from the drug
stores OF that town to insure the

women in this congregation-no not
twelve, but will say a half dozen'
who do more harm with their GOSSIP
then all the drug stores in town. ine

BEN HILL COUNTY WHEAT.

For several years Mr.. M. Dickson and neighbors
have been growing wheat successfully. Their crops
this year yielded about fifteen bushels per acre.
Mr.. Dickson has sold all of his crop for seed and
the acreage will be considerably larger next spring
than ever befor planted in this section.
Mr.. D. b. Null appeared befor an organization
of farmers and business men this week and set out
plan for planting wheat in the colony and
number of the farmers signifed their intention OF
planting small acreage. Mr.. Dickson has bought
mill that makes splendid -four. They propose
to put in another mill at this place if the farmers
can be interested in wheat growing.
The Enterprise believes wheat can be raised here
cheaper than it can be bought but we are not sure
until the exper iment has been made.
