The public is again asked to see
that all the rubbish about the prem
ises is gathered and BURNED as
far as possible and that what can
not be burned is placed in the alley
convenient for the city teams. On
account of there being so many who
have not cleaned up their premises
the city teams will not start for
another week.

The Progressive Farmer is said
to be, by the best judges, by far,
the best farm Journal published
in the South. That is the reason
we have selected it to club with
the Enterprise in an effort to get it
before the farmers of this county.
We believe it is worth ten times
the cost of both papers to any
farmer who has the slightest pride
in his business.

When James Shurrn, prosperous

services In the Denny Street Methodist
Church. Fulton. he instructed Jim a
twcnty-ycar-o Russian farm hand, to
whom he had given employment when
the youth was OH the verge Of starva-
ton. nearly SIX months ago, to take
care of the place. When he returned
home he found Jim and moro than
5000 in cash missing. The young care
taker had forced an entrance through
two locked doors with tho aid OF a
grubbing hoe and broken into Il trunk
where the currency had been placed
for safckeeplng.
Sheriff l.. Ia. Kemp, a neiEhbor OF

SO the recently acquired bloodhounds
OF the county were brought Into ser

up the trail of the youthful Russian.

and Sheriff Kemp had notified the po-
lice OF all nearby towns to be on tho

busy developing It's acquisitions In this
direction In the old city and the South
side. SO that they will be adequate TO
give fresh air and ample space for
years.
The city In which life Is worth lv-

in need OF a trade school. II Is sug-

when he visited this city some time
ago and saw the Virginia Mechanics
Institute. which has been found to very
adequately cover the trades school
