uon wednesday morning aICeI q
negro wanted in this county on a
charge Of stealing a suit Of clothes
from John Bell, colored. The
negro had been placed under ar
rest at Huntingdon, and was
brought back here. He does not
deny getting the suit of clothes.
Esq. Fuller bound him over to the
August grand jury.
The remains of Walter Patter-
son, forty.six years Of age, reached
Greenfield last Sunday from Oakla-
homa City, Okla, and were laid
to rest in the Patterson cemetery.
Mr.. Patterson had been in Okla
homa for several years, engaged
in the gas works. He was found
dead in bed at his hotel, death
resulting from heart failure. He
was reared in Greenfield and was
a broteer OF Messrs. Fain, Austin
and Brit Patterson and Mesdames
Walter Knight and Pratt.
A few weeks ago, Uncle Sam
Bondurant concluded that he
could get along without the Enter
prise and had his name taken off
the list, but on last Monday he
came to US and said he had no
idea how much he would miss his
county news when he ordered the
Enterprise discontinued and that
he wanted his name put back on
the list; that he found himself
way behind in county news
matters and must have the Enter
prise to keep posted.
Judge and Mrs. H. L. Hill re-
ceived letter this week from
their son, John Hill, who is travel
ing in Europe, in which he stated
that he had been arrested by the
British on suspicion Of being a
German spy and thrust into pris.
on at Gibraltar. However. he was
able to prove an alibi and liberat-
ed. There are those, perhaps, who
would want to declare war against
the British for this act, just
as many have been bowling
for war against Germany for the
sinking of the Lusitania.
Curtis, the eleven-year.old son
of Mr.. Geo. Hendrix, residing
near Sharon, had a peculiar ex-
perience on last Sunday afternoon.
The lad was standing on the front
porch, when, without warning or
undue exertion, a blood vessel in
his foot burst, the blood flowing
freely. The little fellow was so
weakened from the loss of blood
before the flow could be stopped
that he was compelled to remain.
in bed sevaral days. His father
informs us that he is unable to
account for the bursting of the
blood vessel.

Considerable excitement was
oceasioned at the home of Mrs.
Anna Brummitt last Sunday
night about $3.50, when some one
made an effort to enter the house
by trying the front door knob.
Mrs. Brummitt called for help
and Geo. Turner, living on the
opposite side OF the street, ran
over. About this time Hugh
Brasield, colored, got there, and
Hugh says he saw in the dark
the fleeing form Of a man and
shot a number of times at him.
Hugh says it was a white man.

DECLINES INVITATION TO MAKE
ADDRESS AT MANASSAS
BATTLEFIELD
PRAY THAT SKIES MAY CLEAR
Chief Executive Says His Thoughts
Are Mortsaeed Beyond Recall For
the present-Has Forfeited
His Liberty.

WASHINGTON - President Wilson
expressed his view of tn" gravity OF
the international situation which con-
fronts the United States to a delega
ton Of Nircinians. who asked him 10
visit the Manassas battlefield late this
month.
we are all hoping and praying that
the skies may clear" said the presi
dent. but we have no control of that
on this side of the water. and il is
impossible TO predict any part of thu
course of affairs
The president was reminded that
some time ago he had promised to 80
to Manassas TO dedicate a tablet.
when made that promise" the
president told the delegation, things
were just beginning and great many
things have happened since which
have altered not only the aspect OF
our own affairs but the aspect OF az
fairs Of the world NV experience
here day by day is that questions turn
up so suddenly and have TO be
handled SO promptly, and sometimes
with so much thoughtful discretion.
that ! really dare not lex my thoughts
go out TO other matters.
Il could not come to Manassas with
out having something to say. II would
not be worthy of the occasion II did
not make preparations that would be
worth while, and that is out of the
question Ny thoughts are mo1gaged
beyond recall for the present.
Il simply feel that | have forfeited
my liberty for the present and that
my nearest duty is the most obvious
and imperative duty. ! have been
obliged to say this TO all invitations,
however tempting in character. and |
would not be worthy OF YOUR trust II
| did not come to such n conclusion.
because | know that YOU want thes"
international matters taken care OF
as best We know how and | ought not
to send my thoughts aheld."
