Geo. Conn, while in town Monday,
paid the Enterprise an appreciated
call. Mr.. Conn while here re-
newed his subscription to the Split
Log Drag.
Judge Frank Hall spent part of
the week here mingllng with
friends. Judge Hall is almost en-
tirely well from an attack of indi-
gestion. He spent six weeks in
Florida at the advice of a special
ist, and, besides, consulted several
eminent physicians, none of whom
gave any relief. He finally came
here and put himself under the care
of DR.. Fields, who prescribed Epson
salts, and Frank says he feels bet
ter and is sure Of a complete re-
covery- Geo. Jeter says all Frank
need was the treatment of a good
country doctor.
Friends Lawrence larry and
Dudley were here Friday night at.
tending the Woodmen lodge, into
which mysteries those two worthy
young gentlemen, Garrett Sanders
ard Curtis Crawford, were initial
ed. Mr.. larry tells US of a pecu-
liar calf on B. Clark's farm. This
calf has one eye and and an empty
cavity where the other eye should
be. 1t has no sign Of a tail and is
neither male nor female. (Tarry
says it's Bull Mooser.) The calf
was born one day last week and
when last heard from was hale and
hearty, taking nourishment as
other calves do.
On last SATURDAY. Mr.. ]. H.
Bradberry showed US a patent
dashboard which was patened
and originated by his brother,
Mr.. Mr.. ]. R. Bradberry, who
left this county twenty-five years
ago, locating in Dallas, Texas.
The board, instead of being either
metal or wood, is made of sea-
grass brushes, and is guaranteed
to outlast any other board, doing
better work with less labor. 1t is
claimed that silk can be washed
on the board without damage to
the silk. The board sells for Is
cents and an effort will be made
to place them on sale here.
Neal Freeman, always to the
fore in good things, showed US
new automobile headlight last
Saturday which he had installed
on his car. This headlight does
away with the two side lights,
being located directly in the center
of the radiator and turns with the
fore wheels, thus putting the
light where you want it when
you want it. 1t is just what we
have thought ought to be provid-
ed for cars, as it enables the
driver to see what is ahead of him
when rounding a corner or turn
in the road.
On the first Monday in No
vember, Col. Will Price, the re-
publican mogul of the Twenty
second district, will give the
editor a ride around the court
square in Dresden in a wheel
barrow, and we invite all our
friends of all the county to be
in Dresden on that day and wit
ness the stunt. Price agrees to
give us a free ride around the
square if President Wilson is re-
elected. Now, if it suits the pub
lie better, we will have Price roll
us around the race track at the
fair grounds during the fair,
which is a few weeks before the
next presidential election, for
everybody knows Wilson will be
elected, and some may not want
to wait until the first Monday

Denver.-Colorado Is falling heir un-
expectedly to 100000. Inheritance
tax collections for the biennial period
from Dec |, 1914. to Dec. /, 1916, were
estimated at 100000 in the two an.
nual budgets. The total already is
S50l.G2S, or $2Ol,62S more than the
Board Of Equalization anticipated for
the full two years.
Leslie h. Hubbard, Inheritance tax
appraiser, estimates further in his
semi-monthly report that the total
revenue from his department will in.
crease by next December to $S00,OO0
for the two years, or grand total OF
$5O0,O0O above the budget figures.
For the state he says 1t will be like
finding $500,00O. The size of this sum
for state purposes can be best appre-
GATED bJ comparison with the total
state budget Of 1916, which calls for
only s3,626,694.
A total OF $5Oi ,62s collected since
December. 1914, was taken from 2.459
estates. Up to December. 1915, $295,,
47s Of this had been paid. The re-
nainder Of $2O6.l49 has been assessed
since then.
The striking feature of this record
is emphasized by the fact that the
original estimate of 100000 was
100000 more than usually allowed.
The largest amount collected In any
two-year period up to this time was
hken in by Hubbard in 1913 and 1914
: sum of $465,OG3. II Hubbards es-
t,lnates hold good this figure will be
rearly doubled by next December.
Inheritance taxes collected for the
ftrst fifteen days of April totaled
3s,21S.9S. The only estate of excep-
tional size was that of Thomas A. Cos.
griff, who left s237,O75.75, with a tax
OF si,6l0.5O.
