Editor of Enterprise,
When | delivered my last cherries to
the canning factory asked the manager
how the cherry business was doing this
year; he replied. Mot very satisfactory

We could ship our cherries and get the

1t has been reported that certain
persons IN Pocahontas, whom we
suppose have little else to do, have
been criticising the Star Herald
quite severely on account of the
printing, several m onths ago, of a
certain picture of Charley Pickett
and Mrs. George Keeney, who are
now about TO be tried for the muir
der of George Keeney. 1t is the
argument of these busy bodies that
this picture and our statements rel
ative to the affair has had much to do
with predjudicing the minds of
the citizens of the county, there.
by making it difficult and expen.

Herald is a newspaper and it is oar
business to publish the news. This
we do, always endeavoring to state

possibly obtain them. In the in.

more than any other live, progress

large sum of money,a fact which
we regret very much. However,
