ignorance was a great calamity. A
lady told me the other day she en-
joyed these letters because they told
of peoples home affairs. Home af-
fairs are described because | know
nothing else to tell. Therefore this
is case where ignorance is profit
able capital.
After this when you see tall,
well dressed, handsome man come
in at the gate, don't get excited and
hurt yourself running over chairs
and against tables preparing to re-
ceive the distinguished looking
guest. 1t is only Bill Cox with a
new suit, as plain in his tastes and
as fond of corn bread, bacon, greens
and milk as ever.
Monday at Waxahachie | met and
renewed T. M. Harper at Palmer.
He lives in the country but says he
has no box because he wants an ex-
cuse to go to town. c. l.. Pollock on
No. 4, Waxahachie, said he had
tried doing without the Enterprise
but had to renew to stop row at
home. Jesse Cover, colored, on For
reston No. 2. got reinstated | find
the colored citizens who read papers
to be the best of their race. Of course
this does not apply to the white
race. But a man who does not read
and keep informed concerning cur
rent events ought to be turned into
the pasture with the cows. DR.. w. C.
Nation of Forreston let the sick
wait while he gave me a sub. Out on
Forreston No. l | got dinner at the
residence of Jacob Presley While
there ! met and renewed J. T. Dear
ing, good farmer who has resided
good while. Out on the road again,
met J. n. Brandon who gave me
S1.75 and had this paper and the
News sent to Brandon Bros, at Will
moth, Greer county, Oklahoma. A
good paper sent to relatives and
friends is like a weekly letter. E. P.
Jenkins on Forreston 3 had so much
wood cut he was at a loss to know
where to put it. | found S. D. Nc
Cluney at home and got q sub. He
had just set row of shade trees
along the school house lot in front
of his house. They will add very
much to the beauty of the premises
in a few years. 1t is a pity there is
not more attention paid to tree
planting in this country. H. A. Deay-
ers has the lumber on the ground for
new residence and will continue to
read the Enterprise. At Avalon !
spent the night at the boarding
house of Mrs. ]. P. Darden. Jim
boards with her and | do not blame
him, for it's good place to eat
met and got sub from my old
friend, B. F. McMorris. Dr. 0. C.
Grant was not too busy with his
grippe patients to cheerfully go
down after dollar. 1t makes fell
low feel good to meet cheerful
customer. N. l.. Arbough is a young
man in school and | will bet he
knows his lessons. J. w. Muirhead
paid me for some job work and went
on waiting on his customers. ]. ].
Riddle, No. 2 Italy, has not been in
the country very long but has taken
the shortest cut to learn it. H. M.
Reynolds and family stopped me in
the road and ordered the paper sent
to Italy 2. M. Stark was beginning
to burn cotton stalks, but stopped
long enough to tickle me most to
death.
Those Avalon people are great and
| am sorry | have not the space to
say more. was about to fail to
state that | took dinner with J. P.
Kirby and his daughter, Mrs. K, be-
luS III ARKANSAS on VlSlC, L also
met there Mrs. Kittie Rockingham,
an old subscriber Soon after dinner
a chicken peddler drove up and got
S3 dozen eggs and 20 pounds of
butter which come to $1495. 1t
looks like butter and eggs pay r.
c. Sanders, on Ennis 8, told me
they got as high as II dozen eggs
per day from their Brown Leghorns
last year. | suppose they had as
many as II dozen hens. At the home
Of Mr. and Mrs. C. o. Moreland l
spent the night. There l found some
fine Bronze Turkeys and Brown
Leghorn chickens. | found H. A.
on Ennis s wrestling with
a fresh case of grip, but hope he
will soon win the game. j. A. Wheat
ley, Jr., was there and renewed for
