SUBSCRIPTIONS CO.
ING OVER THE TOP

Last Monday was the Enterprises
most fruitful day in the history Of
the paper. The subscription record
for the day surpassed all previous
first Mondays, going over the top.
Many subscribers availed themselves
of the very liberal offer of renewal
for one, two, three and five years at
the old dollar rate, which expires on
Jan. /, 1918. After this date all
subscriptions will be $50 per year,
Mr.. G. E. Alderdice paid us $6.25-
IS for the Enterprise to March %,
1923, and $1.25 for the weekly Com
mercial for five years. Many others,
too numerous to mention paid for
two and three years each for the En-
terprise.
The time in which subscription tc
the Enterprise can be had at the ole
dollar rate is very limited, and sub
scribers who wish to save so cents
are urged to do so at once. A large
list of new subscribers was added or
last Monday, some paying for two
years in advance.
We are going clear over the top il

Sad Affair at Martin.

On Saturday night, Mr.. Will Sim
mons, a mail clerk running on the 1.
c., with headquarters at Martin, shot
and perhaps fatally wounded his
wife, and at the same time shot Otis
Freeman. The formerthrough the
body and the latter through the an
kle,
There are many rumors and YER
sions of the shooting, but the Enter
prise shall not attempt detailed
narrative of the sad affair. Suffice
to say home is broken and torn
asunder, the mother of two beauti-
full children lies at the very brink of
death with bullet through her body,
fired by her husband, an aged mother
and father, who hurried from their
Mississippi home to the bedside of
their wounded daughter, crushed and
bowed down, a loving, doting hus-
band sorrowed and his home ties
broken. Let US, then, draw the man
tie of charity about the sad affair,
cease to talk about it and put forth
greater efforts for the restoration of
weak, frail humanity.

Enterprise has frequently referred
to as the hest locaI newspaper III

. SHARON ;.

Mr. Carl Dunlap and Miss Fannie
Cupp, of Sharon, motored to Dres-
den Sunday night and were united
in marriage at the home Of Brother
Etheridge, who officiated in the pres
ence of Mr.. and Mrs, Frank Man
gum, the latter being the groom's
sister They are popular and de-
serving young people and have a
great host of friends who wish them
long life of undisturbed matrimo-
NAL bliss.
Miss Bernice Wells was operated
on in Memphis last Thursday for
appendicitis. She is making splen-
did progress toward recovery.
Miss Jennie Lee Osburn, daughter
of Jess Osburn, was carried to Nash
I vile Saturday for an operation for
! appendicitis.
! Mr.. Prior, one of the dredge
boat men, and Miss Matte Priestley
/ daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. William
Priestley, were united in the holy
bonds Of wedlock on last Thursday
afternoon at the home of Mrs.
Knight, Elder Hardeman officiat-
ing. The groom is a splendid young
man, industrious, sober and upright,
while his bride is one of our fairest
flowers.
Information reaches here from
Nashville that Mrs. Nell Decker had
shot and probably fatally wounded
her husband, Lonnie Decker, at their
home in Nashville. The shooting is
the elimination of a series of mis-
understandings. Mrs. Decker claims
he was cruel to her and failed to
support her. She will be remem-
bered here as Nell Rulings, daughter
of Mr.. Bill Rulings, a carpenter.
The ball from the pistol entered
Decker's body just below the heart.
Sundays Nashville papers say he is
making reasonable recovery Con
tinuing Sundays Banner says
Mrs. Decker appeared in police
court Saturday afternoon to answer
charge of assault with pistol witt
intent to commit murder, but the
case was continued owing to the con
dition of the wounded man. Sht
will be tried as soon as he is able t.
leave the hospital and appear in cour
as the prosecutor"

MOST WORTHY FUND.

In England, as in the United
States, those back home are making
great sacrifices to care for all VINO
are actively engaged at the war
front. A fund is being raised by the
British Women's Hospital Commits
sion. of which Viscountess Cawdry
is the titular head, to care for such
of the Red Cross nurses as may
need attention during and after the
war. These women are in the very
midst of dangers and distresses of
every kind. They are subjected to
risks from shell fire and disease.
They are kept hard at work at all
hours amidst most agonizing scenes
and have borne themselves with a
heroism and devotion not excelled
by their brothers in khaki. Many OF
these will return to their homes
wounded, with shattered nerves or
diseased and helpless, unable to con-
time their intebellum occupations
and labors. They are heroines in
the nations crisis, and the English
people so esteem them. Hence the
fund that is being raised by volun-
tary subscriptions to care for and
mitigate their lot when they shall be
in need. 1t is a worthy duty that
the English people have set them

Time Yet for Enlistment.

Mr.. Suddath, of the local Exemp-
ton Board, informs us that all reg.

copied by the local and district
boards, have the privilege of enlist,

Under the auspices of the local

church next Sunday morning at II

And Then We Would
Say: Nov Do, Please, Be
Sure and Come Up Again"

Some folks load a gun, go out in the
brush and hunt up trouble.
Some also have time on their hands.
Some have TO discuss and cusS or their
lives are full of gloom.
Here's an organization of Southern
California mesdames who formally meet
to formally discuss this:
What would | do if, when the fire was
going for dinner, my husband should
come in with stranger and ask if dim
ner could be ready in twenty minutes,
and ! had on hand bread, butter, fruit
and a few cold potatoes, half raw
onion, one quart of milk, six eggs, lit
tie boiled rice, few cooked carrots, and
nothing else but salt, pepper, vinegar,
spices and a bunch of parsley"
We're only a mere man, but we know
what we would do.
In 10 minutes we'd give that stranger
a corking layout of bread, butter, fruit,
potatoes, eggs. onion, milk, rice and car
rots, and if he turned up his nose at it,
we'd take him by the throat and make
him eat that bunch of parsley.
But then, what would women's Socie-
ties do, if they didn't have something to
discuss?

This Is Not, However,
a Fatal Omission

Word comes from Berlin that Ger
many will not declare war on the United
States.
1t is a mere formality which Germany
can forego without slightest impairment
of her reputation or violation of her or
binary practice. Witness Belgium, as
just one instance, or precedent.
Germany declares war, or anything
else, solely thru a coterie of autocrats
with inherited divine right" TO declare
whatever they please
Ii is one of our peculiarities that we
don't have to be formally declared
against when foreigners order US off the
seas, murder our women and children,
officially hire assassins 10 blow up our
factories and public works, and invite
nations with whom We are at peace to
invade US.
Our government archives will not suf-
fer thru lack of Germany's war decla-
ration.
They are over-provided with records
of Germany's murders, vile conspiracies
and other deviltry.
