No matter where you live, YOU can
bring city gas convenience into your
kitchen. Many city folks who live
just outside Of the larger cities where
they cannot get gas are using these
stoves because they cook and bake
to perfection.
You don't need to "fuss" with a
Detroit-Vapor Stove.
Simply light the burners and put
the cooking on at once-just like q
city gas stove. You do not need TO
put in any piping or pressure tanks
and therefore do not have to cut any
holes in the floor. The stove Is COM
plctc in itself and can be placed In
any part Of the kitchen.
The burners are durable and as
simple as gas stove burners. They
require no attention as they have no
wieks. asbestos rings, or anything
that looks like n wick. Come to tee

mixed feelings. I was glad to know
I could get in stock if I wanted it,
but I was not quite sure 1 wanted it.
Instead Of going back to my room
thought I would take a walk in the
park. Usually a brisk walk would
clear the cobwebs out of my mind
and take the cobbIestones off my
heart.
CAS- I entered the park I passed a
man who bowed to me with such as

nod of my head in return. AS soon
as l had done this knew by the sat-
is1ed smile on his face that he did
not know me and thought l was will
ing to fliTt with him.
MY first impulse was to leave the
park, take a bus for a ride and go
home. Then that stubbOrnness Of
purpose that has always been mine
rebelled. Why should I leave this
beautiful park and all it means to me
physically and mentally just at pres
ent to such as that cad when 1 have
done nothing TepTOaChable? Besides
it is broad daylight and 1 am in full
possession Of all my powers and
mentality. Nothing and no one can
hurt me in the big city of New York,
I argued to myself.
81 hurried along to the mall and
sat down there for a few minutes,
and then, as my fliTtatioUs gentle
man seemed to be out Of sight, re-
sumed my walk.
81 branched off into a more unfre-
quented part Of the park that looked
very inviting and sat down on a
bench to find to my horror that the
man was close on my tracks. He de-
iberately came over to the bench
where 1 sat and seated himself be-
side me.
1t was nice of you to find this
secluded place for our chat, he said.
I did not find it. I answered in
dignantly. I came here to be alone.

would go away His face Immediate

If you don't know me, young
woman he said, why did you speak
to me near the entrance of the park
and ask me to follow yOu?'
81 began to be frightened and said:
If you annoy me any further I will
call the police Then I got up to go.

Work Well Done.

No better piece of work, showing
what energy, pluck and industry can
do, than has been manifested by
Raymond Butts, the ambitious, stur-
dy and we'll behaved SON of Esq.
Harry Butts, in working a corn club
acre. Raymond's acre is located on
the main highway west Of town, and
has stood throughout the entire cul-
tivation period as an example Of
neatness, careful and painstaking
work. In the early spring he heard
it said that a crop should be kept
free from weeds and grass and a
desirable mulch made soon as pos
sible after each rain. These reqpir-
ments have been met with and neat
record book kept, givingg account OF
all the work. A boy who can do one
piece of work we'll can do other
work.

Answers Last Alarm.

Uncle Ben Palmer, one of the best
known and most highly respected
Odd Fellows in the county, answered
the last alarm on Thursday night of
last week and was gathered home to
his fathers after long and painful
illness of kidney trouble. For years
Uncle Ben was outside guardian at
Washington lodge No. 5, l. O. 0. F.,
making Jealous, faithful official.
BENJAMIN H. Palmer was born
June1, 1847; died Aug. 80, 1917;
aged 10 years and three months. He
was married to Lucy Westbrooks, in
December, 1872. To this union were
born seven children, one of whom
died in infancy. He lived out the
time allotted to man-three score
and ten years. He was not a men,
Der of any church, but told his COM
panion some time before death that
his way was clear-he had no fear Of
death, but was ready. During his
long sufferingg he was not heard to
murmur. He was an affectionate
companion, kind father and good
neighbor, always ready to help his
fellow-man when in distress. He
was a member of the l. o. o. F.
lodge and no man loved his lodge or
was more prompt to attend than he.
Thus lived and departed man who
will be missed by his family and
friends He leaves a companion, six
children-three boys and three
girls-and a number of grandchil-
dren and friends to mourn his de-
parture. But our loss is his gain, for
he is done with suffering and we ex-
pect to meet him again in the sweet
bye and bye.
The body was laid to rest Friday
afternoon at Walkers Chapel, after
services by his lifelong friend, Elder
]. L. Thomas, very large crowd
attending, many from Dresden among
the number. The Odd Fellows car
ried out a very impressive service
at the grave.

A Surprise Wedding.

A wedding occurred on last Sat
urday afternoon that was profound
surprise to the friends and families
of the contracting parties, Mr.. Ro-
ME Bowlin and Miss Lavergne Rea-
Wis, iWho stole a march on their
friends, slipping off unawares. The
match was opposed by the brides
parents on account Of her youth.
She is the daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Horace Reavis, while the handsome
young groom is the son of Mr.. lobe
BowIn, near Jewell. The bride is
one of our sweetest, brightest, smart
est girls, possessing a most lovable
disposition. The groom is a young
man of sober, moral habits. He is
industrious and stands high in the
esteem of those who know him. He
is to be congratulated in winning the
heart and hand Of this estimable
young lady, and the Enterprise hopes
that their pathway through life may
be strewn with roses.
The fair bride is a young lady of
refinement and culture. Her dOting
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Reavis, num-
bered among the best citizens Of this
community, have lavished upon her
every expenditure tending to fit her
for life's responsibilities, and they
are justly proud of their daughter.
The sun does does not shine upon a
nobler, more honorable man than
Horace Reavis, and Mrs. Reavis is in
deed noble, good woman.
