Niifin Quits Politics.

1t is with no little pleasure that
ton Finch, better known to the read
ers of this paper as Milfin, has re-
sormed--quit politics to take his old
place as field man for the Enterprise
Two weeks ago Mr. Finch gave up
his position to enter the race for
justice of the peace for this pre-
cinct but the further he went in poll
tics the greater was the longing in
his heart to get back in newspaper
harness. And we did all we could to
make his conscience hurt him, for
we wanted him, and now we are
just as glad he is back with us as he
is TO get back. OF course the peo-
pie of this precinct have lost a mighty
good justice, but we just couldn t
stand to see a good newspaper man
go wrong In all earnestness we will
state that Mr. Finch had much en-
couragement, but our offer to him
was good one and his acceptance
was fully justified. "Milfin' hit
the grit for the field Monday and
will continue to mix and mingle with
the people as the representative o
the Enterprise and Light just as h
has in the past. He has many friend
lin the county, all of whom will rejoic
to know that he will be with ther
again as smiling as ever.
