POINTS THE WAY.
The Statement of This Martin Resi-
dent Will Interest Our
Readers.

Our neighboring town, Martin,
points the way in the words of one
of it's most respected residents:
D. H. Vowel, farmer, R. F. D. 3,
Martin, Tenn, says: about two
years ago l had bad attack of grip,
followed by kidney trouble. / was
in misery for several months and had
severe pains across my back. My
kidneys acted too frequently at times
and then again not often enough.
The secretions were highly colored
and contained sediment, too. l fl
nally got box Of DOan's Kidney
Pills at the City Drug Store, and
after using them felt fine. I
gladly recommend Doan's."
Price soc, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy
get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same
that Mr.. Vowel had. FOster-Mil-

1873 NEW ONES;
287 RENEWALS

Smashing all previous January rec
ords. the Enterprise has added for
the month of January 1873 new sub
sctibers, while 287 old ones have re-
newed their allegiance for the COM
ing year. This is the Enterprises
record for January up to last Friday
night Since that time number of
both new and renewals have been
added.
This in itself is about the average
circulation of a weekly newspaper
it is only a very small part of ours.
These names are confined to no
one community. They go in the
trade vicinity of Dresden, Gleason,
Sharon, Mckenzie, Martin, Green
field, Latham, Palmersville and
Dukedom, making the Enterprise pri-
marily the advertising medium for
the business men of the above nam
ed towns.
But the proof of the pudding is
in chewing the rag.
Here are the names, which speak
for themselves.

be none at all

eradicate the fly nuisance which was
accomplished by requiring that man

moved.
DR.. Trembley regards "swat the
fly campaigns rs useless and saws
the only way to eliminate flies IL to
put a ban on all their breeding places
and he adds that this can be done.
