TOWN AND COUNTY,
Mr.. Jesse KlllabreW last wee

MT. Jesse kllleOreW last week
purchased the 7. |. Little farm,
consisting Of fifty-fve acres, west
OF the fair grounds, on the north
side OF the road, and will, we un'
derstand, build a nice home north
Of the box house now situated on
the tract near the road.
The Enterprise made mention
last week Of a negro who got his
foot badly mashed here at the
depot when he attempted to board
a fast moving west-bound freight
train. He was carried to Martin
for medical treatment, but died
last Friday upon the operating
table. The negro had been en-
gagged here on the water plant.

ment for cancer, has returned
home, and does not appear to
have received any benefits. She
is very weak. Her legion OF
friends pray for her restoration.
Mr.. Monroe Bowers tells US
that he has a very fine sulphur
we'll on his farm, southeast OF
Greenfield, that the water is
strongly impregnated with sui
phur and that many people are
coming to his home to get the
water. Who knows but that Mr..

him a wealthy man? We hope
