Bad Weather Pre-
vents Large Crowd.

The intense cold, the deep snow
and the miserable roads, which are
said to be the worst in the county
in twenty years, due to no work
under the present road law, pre-
vented the usual March first Mon.
day crowd from coming to town,
though there was a much larger
number here than expected early
in the morning.
This was disappointing to many
who had planned to come that day
and pay their taxes and their sub
scription to the Enterprise. The
latter, however, will send checks or
money orders, while the former
will settle, in many instances,
through their local banks. The
trustee and his three assistants,
Messrs. Estes, Freeman and Collie
Warren, we're all kept pretty busy
Monday writing receipts and the
days collections amounted to a
considerable sum. Present indica-
tons are that the list of delinquents
to be put out this year will be the
smallest in years.
Already many of those disap.
pointed in getting here Monday to
settle their subscription account
have sent in by mail and others
will do likewise.

HIDDEN WORD IN
ADVERTISEMENT
First Child in Martin or Vicinity Reporting to
Nj. Geo. T. Farmer to Receive Book
Theatre Tickets Free.

Now, children, put your wits tc
working againl
Who will find the hidden WORD
in the Martin advertisement?
Several weeks ago the Enter
prise offered a book OF theatre
tickets, good for twelve admissions
at the Kozy, to the first child find
ing a hidden word in Dresden
merchants advertisement; and the
idea proved so interesting and
resulted in such a general reading
Of the advertisements appearing in
the Enterprise that we are offer
ing another.
This week a book Isl WORTHY OF
theatre tickets, good at the Lillian
theatre, Martin, to the first child
under fifteen years Of age Of Mar
tin or vicinity finding and report
ing to Mr.. Geo. E. Farmer, the
handsome, good.looking, cour-
teous and obhging cashier OF the
Peoples Bank at Martin, the solu.
ton of the hidden word contest.
Crouched in one of the many
advertisements of Martin mer-
chants appearing in today's Enter
prise is a hidden word. That's all
we are allowed to tell you. Find
it, children, without aid from your
elders, report what the word is,
how and where found to Mr..
Farmer, stating you have received
, no aid from your elders and that
no one in Dresden has told you
anything about it, and Mr.. Farm
er will issue to the first child so
reporting an order for 81 worth of
Lillian theatre tickets.
We say, land that no one in
Dresden has told you anything
about it," because the paper is
circulated and read in Dresden
several hours in advance OF reach
ing Martin, and we hope no one
in Dresden will violate the rules
Of this little contest by calling a
friend or relative at Martin and
giving information. We want all
to have an equal show. Please be
fair.
We find that since the other
hidden word contest children and
groWn.ups throughout the county
have been giving more attention
to Enterprise advertising, and we
want to encourage them to con-
tinue.
Later we will have another.
Watch for it. Read the advertise
ments every week, and when you
see something that interests you,
tell the advertiser about it.

Closing Exercises Of
Central High School

The closing events OF Central
High school was a most enjoyable
occasion and attended by large
and well behaved audience, both
day and night. Thursday nights
entertainment was under the aus
pices of the Ladies Improvement
association, land Miss Vena Peoples
intermediate pupils, who put on
three good plays, dialogue, panto-
mime and duets by Mrs. Ruth
Boards musicpupils. The Ladies'
Improvement association put on a
most excellent play in SISTER Ma

ing, butting billie goat was brought
on the stage ndsucceeded in but
ting the new organization entirely
out OF existence. Receipts for the
night, $3.50, which, together with
the good behavior on part of the
large audience, was greatly ap-
preciated by the faculty and all
patrons. On account of rain Fri
day morning it was high noon be-
fore the program was begun, which
was opened by Prof. Graham pre-
senting some premiums to pupils.

names and events.
This was followed by short ad.

cd necessary to, put in practice in
order to have and maintain an
ideal rural school. This was fol-
lowed by a splendid address by
County Demonstration Agent R.
E. Ellis, which resulted in Mr..
Ellis securing the pledges Of eight
energetic boys for corn club work.
Following this Supt. F. Y. Fuqua
delivered a most excellent address
which was given the highest praise
by the large audience. Mr.. Fuqua
was somewhat handicapped in
what he wanted to say on account
OF the absence of some of the pat
rons who have such implicit con-
tidence in their neighbors and
teachers as to be willing to risk
their children with them without
ever coming about to see what is
really taking place.
After this we were invited to a
most excellent dinner prepared by
the good ladies Of the community.
1t was announced that the WingoI
basket ball team was on the
ready for a game with the
Central High school team, which
resulted in a real gentlemenly
game OF basket ball, result, ten to
eight, in favor Of Wingo. This ball
game interfered to some extent
with the evenings program by the
primary pupils, but the efforts put

Shirley Newberry, is no less ap-
preciated by the patrons.

tertained by a SPLENDID play Of two

by contributing the nice sum Of

You simply must keep your kidneys

gion, get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from any good drug store here, take
a tablespoonful in glass of water be-
fore breakfast for few days and
your kidneys will then act fine. This fa-
nous salts is made from the acid OF
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and is harmless to flush elogged
kidneys and stimulate them to normal
activity. 1t also neutralizes the acids
in the urine so it no longer irritates,
thus ending bladder disorders
Jad Salts is harmless; inexpensive;
makes delightful efferyescent lithia-

take now and then to keep their kid
