present to their friends, their sister,
Miss Katherine Faust, of Roanoke,
Ala, who will be their house guest
until the first Of July. The lovely lit
tie bungalow on Adeline street lent
itself most gracefully to entertaining.
Seats were placed upon the lawn and
ferns, potted plants and white clean
ders used with most artistic effect in
the interior of the home. The punch
table, laden with ivy vines and clean
ders, was placed on the veranda and
here Miss Jane Fuller and DIR. Chas.

and ferns and other potted plants, with
the pots cleverly covered with violet
crepe paper, formed bower on the
veranda for the seven tables of guests
of the younger set who enjoyed the
games. The violet motif was carried
out in detail. Grape punch was served
by Misses Grace Hightower and Jessie
Jackson and crystal compotiers of VIC

More Enterprise slu.h

Information has just reached US that the Enter
prise editor was out At Amherst Thursday and
persuaded Bert hammers to make an afidavit to
the effect that someone had told him that DR.. F.
M. Smith gave some parties liquor some time last
spring. near as we can learn, about the date Of
the election Of the high school board. Mr.. LAM
mers was seen and says shat he fears to tell more
Of the cohtents Of this affidavit for fear his CO.
conspirators may do him great bodily injury. He
says he made the affidavit because he was mad at
one Of the republican candidates and thought this
would hurt the republican ticket. This affidavit
is absolutely false and without any foundation In
fact. One Of the conspirators informed q party
In Holyoke this morning that the Enterprise
would publish afiidavits from H. W. Bauer and c.
Jung TO the effect thai they had been given LIQUOR
by DR.. Smith as sworn to by Lammers. In re-
ply to this false charge we give below the afida-
Wit Of these two men:

The Enterprise has made q desperate
attempt to defeat Scott Evans for coun
ty superintendent but we are satisfied
that its unreasonable attacks on him
has made votes for him.

county clerk and made good clean rec

Frank Olson has made a good cam
paign for county clerk and his candida.
cy takes well with the voters. He isin
every way well qualified for . satisfae-
tory discharge Of the duties Of the Of
fee of county clerk. The Enterprise,
with all of its mud singing. has moi
been able to even trump up anything
against Olson that it would dare give
the voters as 4 reason for voting y
gainst him. He is one of the brightest
and best qualified young men in the
county for the office.

J. A. Swsdlund will do the assessing
Of the property of the county himself
and not by deputy, as claimed by the
Enterprise. The Enterprise has made
a desperate effort to find something
that would help defeat Swedlund but
has completely failed. J. A. Swedlund
is one Of the best informed and bright.
est young business men in the county
and that is the kind Of man the tax
payers want in the important Office Of
county assessor and the Enterprise fight
will not prevent the taxpayers from
voting for him.
