A STAR OF GOLD.

T. M. Vaughan, jr. was born Jan.
rs, 1895, made the supreme sacri-
flee for life and freedom Oct. 8,
1918; age 23 years, four months
and ten days. 7. was noble, brave
young man-lived honest and died
like hero at his post Of duty.
He enlisted in the service of his
country Sept. 10, 1917, going first
to Camp Gordon, Ga, where ne had
training in cavalry troop. From
there he went to Camp Sewer, s. G.,
where he was assigned to Company
A, 114th Machine Gun Battalion,
training in this branch of the service
until he sailed for France in May.
He entered into active service IN
July, engaging in both trench and
open field fighting; went over the
top in the battle of Ypres.
He wrote his mother that he was
in one battle where the firing was
50 heavy you could not tell day
from night. He crossed the Hin
denburgh line and did service for
his country in some Of the fiercest
fighting on the western front and
was killed in the battle Of Cambria
St. Quentin in surprise attack.
He is survived by his, mother,
father, four sisters and three broth
ers-Elvin, Alvin, James and Beat
rice, all at home; Mrs. Tully Parker,
Wynnburg; Mrs. Grover Boothe'
Gleason, and Mrs. Vernon Adams,

WYATT ARRESTED
AS A DESERTER

Ex-Sheriff Whit LaFon and Mar
shall Dick Eskridge effected the ar
rest on Sunday, Dec. %, of Hogan
Wyatt, whom they brought to Jail
and on Monday Wyatt was carried
to Camp Taylor, near Louisville,
from which camp it is alleged that
Wyatt deserted.
Wyatt served a six months jail
sentence here in the fall for evading
draft orders, being tried and con-
victed in federal court at Jackson.
He got the idea early in the game
that he was not going to obey the
orders Of his government, and re-
fused to fill out his QUESTIONABLE
Of appear for physical examination,
being arrested during the big snow
Of December, 1917, by Deputy
Marshal King and Sheriff LaFon.
At the termination of his three
months jail sentence Wyatt was car
ried to the training camp by spe-
cial officer, Register Freeman. He
remained there but short while,
coming home. He is said to have
stated upon his return that ne had
not been discharged, but that 9th
ers were leaving and he decided to
leave, too. He made no effort to
keep his homecoming secret, but
was in Dresden frequently. The
outlook of a court-martial and fed
eraI penitentiary sentence for Wyatt
is good.

THE COUNTY NEWS
IS STILL WANTED

Even though the war is now a
matter of history and newspapers
do not carry front page leaders of
the big battles that were prominent
features of all the good papers
just a few brief weeks ago, tn
readers of the weekly paper still
want the county news.
The county news-items concern
ing the happenings and doings of
people we all know-constitute the
first part Of a weekly newspaper.
The Enterprise has always been
strongest on county news-items
gathered from the four corners of
the county at great expense and
much time and labor.
With the beginning of the New
Year the Enterprise has well ma
tured plans for increasing the vol
ume of local county News matter.
These plans have been worked out
after mature deliberation and will
be put into execution at an increase
Of expense, so that in order to keep
posted on the important county hap
penings it will not be necessary to
take more than one county news
paper.
War news has been given con-
siderable attention during the year
just closed so VIGOROUSLY for Am
erica and the allied nations; but we
know that our readers are now con-
cerned most about the county hap
penings, and these will receive first
consideration. This is a strong fea-
ture of the Enterprise, and this one
feature is responsible for the steady
growth Of the subscription list of
this paper.
Speaking of subscribers, below is
our list of new and renewals:

l;ALOMEL SAu|vATEs
AND MAKES YOU SICK
Acts like dynamite on a sluggish
liver and you lose q
days work.

There's no reason why person should
take sickening, salivating calomel when
a few cents buys large bottle Of bod
sons Liver Tone-a perfect substitute
for calomel
1t is a pleasant, vegetable liquid which
will start your liver just as surely as
calomel, but it doesn't make you sick
and can not salivate.
Children and grown folks can take
Dodson's Liver Tone, because it is per-
fectly harmless.
Calomel is dangerous drug. It is
mercury and attacks your bones. Take
a dose of nasty calomel today and you
will feel weak, sick and nauseated to-
morrow. Don't lose days work. Take
a spoonful of Dodson's Liver Tone in
stead and you will wake up feeling great.
No more biliousness, constipation, slug
gishness, headache, coated tongue or sour
stomach. Your druggist says if you
don't find Dodson's Liver Tone acts bet
ter than horrible calomel your money ia
waiting for you.
