re: When had just begun school had
to go with my sister who was about five
or six years older than myself. I had
been going about two. or three weeks
when 7 went to school alone one day.
My sister was not at home or I should
have gone with her. She had to go to
school real early and had to make my
self ready for school. I washed and
put on my coat thinking I was all
ready.
When I reached school took off my
coat -and-what did I have on? had
on one of mama's napkins that I had
used at dinner time. I thought long
time and then said to myself, Il will
put on my coat and go home and take
it off and then will come back again"
When I reached home mama said had
to stay there, because it was too late to
go to school. I stayed: at home, but 1

BRYAN THE POPULIST.

VIM. ]. Bryan has at last an
nounced his intentions to antago-

Gratis at the National Convention
to be held June 9th at st. Louis.
He has announced his intention
to publish a daily paper at ST..
Louis during the session of the
convention. He is going to de-
mand the reaffirmation of the
Kansas City platform, the plat
form on which he was twice de-
feated by an overwhelming ma
jority. Bryan, as everybody
knows, never was a democrat at
heart. He is populist masque-
rading in democratic garb, and
he will marshal his popu1ist fol-
lowers as democrats to defeat
the democratic nominee at the
coming election. 1t was a black
day for the democratic party

iency's sake, took up this man

The Enterprise is in politics,
and as this is political year,
number of candidates from the
coroner up will find it out.
One of the highest duties a
county paper owes its patrons
and public is to keep in mind the
common interests of all in the
matter of the selection of officers.
We shall refrain from advocating
any but good men, and no en-
comiums of unworthy aspirants
can be bought in these columns.
We will publish the announce
ments of any candidate so much
per Chat is, $500 for each, and
every candidate will be treated
fairly if we believe him worthy
and we'll qualified. We may even
have a choice, and express it be-
tween two or more men who as
plre to the same office, but
every word will be written with
absolute fairness to every other
worthy aspirant.
We mention these thinge here
now lest we be misunderstood
and because our conception of
what is ethical does not jibe with
many publishers.
Now is the time to announce.

AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE
RIGHT MAN.

In every community there are
a number of people looking out
for opportunities, and we appre-
ciate the privilege of occasionally
pointing out an opening for pro-
fitable investment or employ
ment.
With little tact and small
capital an industrious man can
make good money buying scrub
cattle off the wide ranges of r.
win county and preparing them
for the butchers. To supply the
local market with two to four
beeves per day would in itself be
a good business. The cattle are
right at hand and the best feed
in the world. cotton seed meal
and bulls, can be had direct from
the mills.
AS good beef can be produced
right here in the colony as ever
came from Kansas city, and for
one-fourth the cost.

Hon. ]. w. Paulk, like hun

satisfied that the county chain
gang cannot build and 1.-THE same
time keep the roads in good con-
dition. He favors tax levy to
have the roads built by contract
and employ the changing in
keeping them repaired. This
plan would give the whole county
good roads in a reasonable time,
and enable the gang to keep them
so.-Ocilla Dispatch.
The Enterprise does not like
to conflict with the Dispatch or
our able representative, but we
are opposed to the tax levy
scheme.
The county gang can build the
graded roads and open new ones
which can be easily kept in re-
pair by the old method of semi
annual road working.
The suggestion of a tax levy
would, if carried out, not only in
crease the tax burden but give
opportunity for graft.
