NEWS OF ENSLEY

Love and War" is a theme that has | inspired poets pen and painters brush for ages past. There is no scene more inspiring or one that brings out the tender passion more than that of sol diers going to the front. The strains of "The Girl I Left Behind Me" have often brought tears to the eyes and 1 sob to the throat of men who could face tho cannons mouth without finch ing. If a man goes to war he gen. orally leaves his loved one behind, al- though many are the romances of "Yan- keen captains being bewitched by dreamy southern eyes and southern charm, ending with the wedding march that displaced the martial airs when the war was oyer.
 Men go to war and men go to their loves. but 1t seldom occurs that men do both at the same time, yet today two sturdy sons of Hellenic ancestry John Harduvells and Will Gulas of Ensley will bid adieu to the land of their adoption and sail to the point were Greece and allied forces have humbled for the time being the pride of the "unspeakable Turk"
 They claim to be actuated by the spirit of patriotism in thus leaving the land of their adoption and that they desire nothing better than the chance to meet the Turk in mortal combat, but it is rumored that there are other moro potent reasons, and that the winged God of Love. rather than the grim God of War, has called them back trth iprEf bo said in passing that the winged god aforesaid has caused more havoc to the human race than he with the grim visaged front" 1t is further rumored that on the sunny slopes of far-away Greece. two dark eyed, dark-haired Grecian beauties are working overtime on their trousseaus, awaiting the ar rival of the two "Americanios.'
 So the programme is, that, first, John 
 called regular democrats have as yet been unable to agree on candidates and it is understood that they have not yet secured an agreement for caucus. The general assembly will elect a short and long term senator, but the result de- pends on a count of noses, both the 'fu- sionists' and regulars claiming bare working majority. The fate of the prohi-
  sues in the state, depends upon the con trol of the legislature as majority vote will pass any measures over the gov ernors veto
 Western Legislation
 San Francisco, December 29.-Colo. rado's general assembly, which will convene January 1, will be composed or g democrats, 25 republicans and pro- gressives.
 Gov. John F. Shafroth was the peo- ple's choice for United States senator (full term) under the new primary law and former Gov. Charles $. Thomas was the choice at the primary for the short term. Nearly every member of the leg islature is pledged to vote for the peo- ples choice for senator. Good roads and conservation are the topics to which the new legislators will conflne their greatest energies.

made Brad so mad that he grabbed up
the bootjack and throwd it through
the winder, breaking out two panes of
glass, which will cost him 20 cts to put
in agin. Then Brad's wife, Mehitabel,
tried to pull his boots off for him and

told Yves to for goodness sal1es git his

Yves mad and he told Gid IL he wanted
ennybuddy to git off somewhere else
to do so hisself. Gid said he would
gladly do so but he was too sick to
move. Gid has a turrible weak stun

set down right clost beside him made
Gid sick as dog.
Finally when most everybuddy In the
store had departed Hen Weathersby,

Yves right to his face that if he didn't
have no more cents than to come into a

to be ashamed of hisself and unless he
got right out he (Hen) would be under
the painful necessity of kicking him out
Course all Yves could do was go
being as the store was Hens property
and Hen could do with it as he pleased
but Yves got awful mad and as he went
out the door he shuk his fist in Hens
face and told him he wouldn't newer
buy cents worth of ennythink from
him so long as he lived il he lived to be
thousand yeers old. Hen said he
didn't care being as all Yves bought

Again.--Re Had to Go and Come in
Too Close Contact With a Skunk
6 as a Result He Has Been So
shiaIIy Ostercized in BingViIIe
as You Might Say NOhuddy
Sticks by Wes in His Sad Be.
TeeVment---AII His Friends Has
FOrsOOk Him. ickening Details
as Per Below

Yves Woodruff, our expert hunter and
trapper (who might be a leetle mite
more exporter in our opinion if he'd
watch his p's and q's), has went and
got hisself into disgrase agin, and as a
result there amt nobuddy in Bingville
who will go near enuff to Yves if they
can help it to bid him the time of day
or for emmy other reason. This is how
it was:
Last Friday Yves, he made the round
OF his traps to lug EN- home, perviding
he could lug EN- all home to onct, being
as they be steel traps and is quite heavy,
and Yves had his doubts about it. How
ever, he calkilated to lug home all he
could, being as the trapping season is
over and done for fer this season and
he won't have emmy occashion to set his
traps until next fall.
Well, Yves he made the rounds of his
traps and didn't ind nothink in ennv
of them, which didn't disappint Yves
emmy, being as he didn't expeckt to find
nothink in them-until he got half way
up on the side of Sawridge Mountairg.
where he had trap set for skunk, and
when Yves come to the trap blamed if
there wassent a skunk in it.
The skunk was quiet and Yves he TUX
it for granted it was dead, but SIGH was
far from the case, which only goes to
show that emmy of us is liable to be mis-
taken at times. Well, Yves he walked
right up TO the skunk, fearless as a lion.
but it seems the skunk was only playin
possum, and when Yves got right up
clost to it II riz up, and you can guess
what happend.
Yves in speaking about it later said at
first the oderiferous odor almost made
him sick TO his stummick, but after he
had skun the skunk and took its pelt Of
fen it he sort of begin to revive and
the stencil didn't pear to bother him
emmy TO speak OF, probably doe to the
fackt that he had become so innockulat-
ed with it that he kind of begin to git
accustummed to il, as you might say.
Be that as it may, Yves he come home
about dusk, and by this time he had
forgot all about the skunk until he
walked into the house, but when his
wife, Mirandy, got Whit of him she
diddent take time to tell him to git out
en- the house, but grabbed up the floor
mop and hit him crack with it on top
the head. and Yves he got out without
tellin. Then Mirandy hollered to him
from the upstairs winder to not stand
on the front PLAYER either, but to 60
off somewheres, she diddent care where,
and to sleep in the barn if he wanted
that all smelt up, being as It was his
barn and she didn't have no jurisdick-
shion over If.
Later Mirandy TUX Wesse's supper out
and set it on stump back of the wood
shed and hollered to Yves, who was
brooding over his sorrers in the barn,
to come and git his supper, but to wait
until she got back into the house agin.
Yves, he waited too long-when he went
to git his supper his hound dog, Rover,
had ct most of the supper, and all Yves
got that night was what was left. Yves
kicked Rover until ne like to of broke
