Value Of a Smile.

Smile and the world smiles with
YOU. 1t does not cost you anything
to be human, to show by your man
ner that you regard your fellow
worker or your employee as fellow
being. A friendly greeting, no mat
ter how hurried, Is a tonic. Take the
trifling moment of time for that greet
ing. Make the trifiing amount Of eff
fort. Remember that the joy or the
unhappiness of life is made up OF
trifies, just as the continents are made
of grains Of sand and drops Of wa
ter. "You can catch derned more
sight of flies with sugar than with
vinegar" runs the homely old New
England saying.-Exchange.

gardlng the reputation of Colonel

WILD RUMOR IS
NOT VERIFIED

A persistent rumor has been cir
culated throughout the county to the
effect that Perry Wilson, son of Mr..
Geo. Wilson, a good citizen and ex-
cellent farmer Of near Dukedom, had
been courtmartialed and shot at Fl.
Thomas, KY, for killing a ieuten-
ant.
The Enterprise has made an ear
nest effort to get the facts in the
case, and a telephone communica-
ton with Dukedom, near where Mr..
Wilson resides, brings the informa-
ton that there. is no foundation to
the rumor, and the Enterprise wants
the friends of both young Wilson
and his noble father, Geo. Wilson, to
know the facts, else no reference
would be made to an unpleasant
rumor. Information from Dukedom
is to the effect that citizens of that
community know nothing of the af-
fair and that if Geo. Wilson has re-
ceived any message of it they do not
know it. This ought to set at rest
forever and ever this war rumor.
