in Sharon, acknowledging.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dave Baooks, of
Martin, are receiving congratula-
tions of their friends upon the
occasion Of the arrival Of al
daughter at their home.
The two-year-old child Of Mr..
and Mrs. Pete Mosely, four miles
east of Greenfield, died very sud-
denly last Monday. Their friends
extend coincidence in this sore
bereavement.
Mr.. Martin McElwrath is con-
siderably perplexed over the find
ing of a large hole. five or six feet
across andten feet deepin his field,
just back of his home, on Sunday
morning. The hole, he presumes,
was dug there on Sunday night,
but for what purpose he is unable
to say. He knows, he says, there
is no money buried about his place,
nor does he think anyone wishes
to hide any there.
Workmen are this week putting
up the arc lights on the square,
one to be placed directly in the
center at each OF the four corners,
which will afford ample light for
the entire square. All the town
has been wired, and the Enterprise
Office was the first place in town
to be tiled" onto the main wire.
Many citizens are having their
residences and business houses
wired, preparatory to patronizing
the light plant.
The good citizens of Mt. Pelia
and vicinity, not to be dis
couraged over their failure to
procure the highway, have set to
work to build a forty-foot road
from Mt Pelia interesting at

their intention to meet at the Mt.

needed in broadening the road and
cutting down the grades.
Ex-Sheriff Allen Brasfeld an
nounced to his friends here Mon
day that he would not at this time
offer for trustee Of Weakley county.
The popular ex.oficial had much
pressure brought to bear on him,
but he felt that it was best not to
get into the conflict this time.
Mr.. Brasfeld has a large following
throughout the county, and had
he SHE'D his castor into the ring
would have proven leading factor
in the trustees race. We under
stand, though have no authoritative
statement from the gentleman
himself, that ESQ. Hamp Denning
announced here Monday his with
drawal from the race for trustee.
The very large and well-equipped
saw and planning mill Of Avery
Bros, those progressive business
men at Mt. Pelia, was burned to
the ground on Saturday morning
at about 8 o'clock, being a total
loss of about So, 800, there being no
insurance. The mill was in
operation all day Friday, and
several times the pile of saw.dust
caught fire, and it is thought the
fire had its origin from this, as it
is possible the fire in the dust was
not entirely extinguished, burning
slowly until it reached the mill.
Several wagons and other equip

big one to the community, since
the mill did a big business.
The crowd attending the Green
bill singing on last Saturday was
not so large in the forenoon as in
