why not? They know and love the
former while the latter are rather
quantities than individuals. The
country correspondent who writes
the news once a week is public
benefactor and deserves more credit
and public notice than he usually
gets. 1t is with pleasure that l note
the fact that the Enterprise cores
poldents are doing good work at
them than at any time since / enter
ed the field. wish We had more
and we must have them. We ought
to have enough correspondents for
them and the piece from the field to
fill one page and | feel sure the edi-
tor would take pleasure in giving
US that much Or even more space.
During the past ten months / have
probably written up fifteen hundred
people but I can not get all of them
SO please assist me and let us
make the Enterprise, indeed and in
truth, family paper.
The beach, base ball and the BIZ
BILE claim the attention of the people
at this season of the year. There is
scarcely community liz the state
at this time of the year without a
baseball team. 1t requires a good
deal Of grit, speed and muscle mixed
with no small degree of generalship
to become good player. Baseball is
one of the manly games and while
broken fingers, sprained ankles and
occasionally fatal injury result.
from play it is hardly as dangerous
as war and good deal better In
morals. So there can be very little

that he Is not the whole of HUMANE
ty-that others have rights which
he should respect. II his study ID
for the purpose of assisting him to
eliminate the ego from his dealings
with men, he is doing a noble work
and Is worthy of commentator. II

manner rambles over its pages. OF
II he takes down his , concordance
and traces up texts in support OF
some dogma In order to meet the
argument of some other doctrinar.
ian he Is laying fine foundation ia
become public nuisance and may
be lead to carry his bible under his
arm and shoot his doctrine into In
inoffensive people who are on the
streets for business or recreation, II
any one will prove to me that one OF
these fellows who enter into these
street corner discussions has ever
repeated or even Incidentally refer
red to the Golden Rule will take
all this back and set 'em up besides
Last Monday, d. B. Humphreys,
good farmer, who lives on Venus
No. 1. near the Enterprise school
house, came up to me on the street
and very pleasantly asked IL his
time was not out. On being answered
In the Affirmative he cheerfully
handed over dollar. 1t is SO pleas
ant to transact business with cheer
full people and ! imagine they feel
better than these grum-fellows. d.

paying me for his own subscription
and another, met me and renewed
