ONE OF lNJUREDP UDpLER,s LEGS
IS GRATED ToaTHE OTHER

PlTTsBURG, Feb. 2s.-An operation
SO marvellous and delicate that It IS
supposed to be without precedent In

tai yesterday. Dr.zEvanyW. Meredith,
a stat surgeon, was the operator. 1t
Is expected to prove successful.
A strip OF skin. containing about 10
square inches, was cut loose on the
uoter side OF Archer's right ankle along
and under three OF It's dimensions,
until 1t became a sort OF iap-then
Archer was made to bend the leg ut
the knee AMI place 1t across his left
leg. SO the flap would cover u sore on
the outer side OF the left leg, lust
Adobe the ankle. The flap was then
sewed to the leg. Both limbs were
placed in n Jacket which will hold
them immoHable, one across the other.
Through the fab new blood will flow
Into the raw surface, which Is the re.
suit Of a serious burn. Daily the In.

two. three or four weeks, the flap will
be fairly grown to its new abiding

patient will be OF the last lap Of his

DR.. Seeley Shoots at
the Chicken Thief

Last night DR.. c. D. Seeley took
a shot at the chicken thief, and he
thinks he "peppered'' him with small
shot.
About nine o'clock last night DR..
Seeley returning home from the city
discovered his front gate open and
realized at once that somebody had
been there since he left.
He went around to the rear OF the
house to investigate and found a
man and a boy in his chicken house.
He ran in the house for his gun
and took couple of shots at the
thieves as they ran off through the
plowed ground back of his chicken
yard. He says when he shot, the
man he shot at threw up his hands
and followed and he feels sure that
he sprinkled him with small shot
with which the gun was loaded.

Christmas Cantata at
the First N. E. Church

The annual Christmas exercises
of the First M. E. Sunday School
were held at the church on Mon
day (Christmas) night. Fortu-
nately the weather was favorable
and when the hour of starting
arrived even all standing room was
taken except in the aisles which
the fire ordinance requires to be
kept clear.
The Cantata varied this year
from the usual character, but was
of the usual quality. The theme
was The Story of the Star" The
characters, representing different
countries, told what the Star had
done for them. The music was
excellent, the recitations perfect, no
one having to be prompted The
trimming was unique and beautiful.
A large transparent star was sus-
pended back of the platform and
lighted by an electric light from the
rear. The tree was tastefully trim
med and lighted by electric lights
of various colors. After the Canta-
ia, Santa Claus came in and dis
tributed treats to the more than
two hundred members of the School
and presents to numbers of the
School and Others.

The Carnival

They tell us that the carnival is
here" we have not seen it or heard
it, and if it is here we regret it
We do not know who is responsible
for it, certainly Fitzgerald did not
need it. Out of it can come no
good to anybody. and unless some
body makes it their business to look
out for the ugly things that are
usually attached to these elemosy-
nary? institutions in all probability
there will result, at least some
harm.
1t may be clean carnival, free
of vice, gamblin 6, righteousness, II
so of course it is an exception, and
the Enterprise is ready to commend
it. Not commend it as a good
thing, but commend its improve
ment over the average street carni-
val.

A. B. & A. Names Train
the South Georgian

The Atlanta, Birmingham, and
Atlantic railroad announces the
application of the name The South
Georgian" to its train. whichss leaves
Atlanta every night at 1O:l5 and
Waycross at 8:25. p. m. This train
carries Pullman drawing room,
and sleeping cars between Atlanta
and Waycross and Atlanta and
Townsville, connecting at various
junction points with trains of con-
Meeting lines.
The name is especially appropri-
ate in view of the efforts that the
Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic

South Georgia country. The train
is electric lighted throughout, the
sleepers are modern in every re-
spect and equipped with individual
berth lights, giving the passengers
the privilege of reading in their
bertbs after retiring, if they so de-
sire. These lights are also of great
assistance to passengers in dressing
and undressing.
The South Georgian" is one Of
the finest trains operated in Georgia.
The Atlanta, Birmingham and AT
lantic takes pride in its passenger
service. 1t is not only furnishing
the highest class of equipment, but
manning its trains with polite and
attentive conductors and other at
taches.

Bicycle Thieves

Several years ago a bunch OF
young thieves gave the local bicycle
owners a great deal of worry and
caused them considerable expense
in the matter of new wheels and re-
wards to officers, and etc. After a
running fight of several months, per-
haps a year the last Of the. thieves
were detected aud most of them
punished, and since that time it has
been very safe to leave bicycles
standing around on the streets and
side walks without a guard. The
indications are that the habit of BIZ
cycle stealing will become fashiona-
BILE again. DR.. j. H. Goodman is
the first victim that we have heard
of. His wheel was stolen from his
store door on Grant Street Monday,
and as vet he has failed to find any
trace of it.
We suggest that the local bicycle
owners organize and subscribe to a
fund to be offered as a reward for
the capture and conviction of any
bicycle thief.
