Miss Ruth Rose, daughter of Mr..
Henry Rose, of this city, who for
some time has been employed as
cashier for the Enterprise, has for
quite while been teaching a class
of mutes in one of the Sunday school
rooms of the First Methodist Church.
Her class consists of from three to
half dozen pupils from Covington,
and there are sometimes visitors from
Memphis, Ripley and Dyersburg. 1t
is interesting to see how quickly these
people who are deprived Of the gift
of speech learn, and how fest they
progress in their studies under the
tutelage of their capable teacher,
who is herself a mute. She takes
great interest in her work and is ac-
comprising much good with it.

Walk said in retaliation for eating
the chickens he was going to "get
the goats goat" shortly by butcher
ing it and converting it into some
young "lamb."

which concerted action can assist in
the solution of the manifold problems
which confront the country in the con-

financial or tactical reasons. rather
than because they were needed as car
