Road Under Construction.

After several months delay. the construction of the East Berlin Berlin road has finally been started. The first object of the contractors was the grading of Caesar Hill and Satur- day morning a gang of rock drillers began the task of cutting off 250 cubic feet of the solid rock which now stands in the way of the new highway. It is said that much of the rock is to be blasted. but owing to the prox- imity of several houses to the scene of operations it is doubtful if such a move will be made. The two hills. Caesar and Galpin's hill, will be com rlcted entirely before the main road will be built it was said Saturday. It is expected to finish the entire con- tract by September list if not before.

The Storms Aftermath.

The effects of Fridays storm are gradually passing off but residents will remember it as one of the most severe in years. No less than dozen of the telegraph poles along the Ser lin branch ro-d are down as u, re- suit of the high wind. The linemen have made repairs to the wires, but have made no effort to replace the poles which have broken down sev- oral fences.

AN EXPLANATION

Recently it has become necessary
for the Enterprise to urge some Of
its very best customers to make set
Element of unpaid accounts, and
some Of them, we fear, do not just
exactly understand why we are do
ing this. Hence this explanation.
In the first place, everything we
purchase must be paid for in 80
days. In the next place, everything
we buy costs several times what it
did four or five. years ago, while
our costs to our customers have not
advanced in proportion. Take blank
paper, for instance. 1t now costs
us 1915 ton, whereas formerly we
bought it at $50. Yet the subscrip-
ton price to the paper has only ad-
vanced so cents. Up until year
ago we had only about $50 invested
at one time in blank paper, but
now we are compelled to keep a
stock valued at from $500 to 81 900.
t. used to be that we could get this
uaper very easily, but now it is botn
high priced and difficult to Obtain
and therefore, we are compelled to
keep a large supply on hand all the
time, thus tying up considerable
amount of money.
We have but the one source from
which to obtain this money to IN
vest in blank paper, and If dozen
customers fail us in the settlement
Of their accounts we are, naturally
up against proposition which com
nells us to send out the S. Q. 5. to
our customers.
That is what we have been doing
for the past few months. It's slmp-
" a condition forced upon US.
The same condition confronts all
classes of business men. They
can't help it. So, if your printer
YOUR grocer, dry goods merchant
druggist, physician or farm nipple
ment dealer sends you an urgent re-
Ouest to come in and settle your &C.
count-don't get your back up and
become offended. He simply can't
help it, for the man who is selling
him is in behind him with a SHARP
stick threatening to close his place
of business if he don't "anty" up

BACK TO THE LAW;
BACK TO THE FARM

After the first Monday in Septem-
Der, when his successor takes over
the reins of the circuit court clerks
office, King Webb will return to the
general practice of law, after being
practically out for the past four
years, during which time, however,
he has done some chancery practice.
Mr.. Webb informs the Enterprise
he has not definitely decided upon
an office location, but will notify
the public of this later.
Sheriff Thompson, whose term of
office expires at the same time as
Mr.. Webb's will return to his splen-
did farm in the 25th district, where
politics does not disturb nor politi-
clans break through and corrupt.
Mr.. Thompson leaves the Sheriff's
office as he entered it two years
ago-with clean hands. No man
can truthfully charge that Ben
Thompson has been lazy in office.
Trustee Moore, who will be sue
ceeded by Joe Eanes on the first
Monday in September, does not pro-
pose going anywhere. He will be
right here when Gabriel blows the
horn, buying Eaters, and SO on.

Bun when forty to fifty thousand
chauffeurs are employed in single

DRESDEN SCHOOL
TO OPEN SEPT. 6
'Rah! boys and girls!

nan! DuyS anu gins
Vacations over and on Monday,
Sept 6 school will take up"
Plans are being perfected by both
the faculty and the school autlori-
ties of the Dresden High School for
its opening on Monday, Sept. 6,
when it is hoped every boy and girl
of school age in this school district
will report promptly. Parents are
asked to see to it that their children
enter on the opening day that more
perfect organization and beginning
may be had.
1t is quite likely that some ar
rangement will have to be made for
the accommodation of all the pu-
pills to enter at the coming term.
Probably an addition will be made
to the building. Anyhow, every
child must be taken care of.
The faculty is, indeed, SPLENDID
one, and, with the cooperation the
citizens and patrons owe the school,
there is no reason why this term
should not be the best in the history
of the town. It will be if every man
and woman determines to make it
so.

SUNDAY
SCHOOL CLASS

Most every town in the whole
world boasts it's unusual "thing,"
but there is not, perhaps, another
town in the country waich has a
loafers' Sunday school class, outside
of Dresden.
This class is a part Of the~Meth-
odist Sunday school, 1t is regularly
entered on the roll with its number
and a report is made to the secre-
tary every Sunday by the class Sec
rotary, Mr.. Halbert McElwrath'
Judge Royal E. Maiden is the teach
err and the membership varies all
the way from 20 to 75. The regu-
lar lesson as laid down in the Sun
day school magazine is discussed and
a number Of well informed gentle
men give aid to the teacher in en-
tightening the class.
Really, though, this is not loaf
ers' class. It was organized to meet
existing conditions and located in
the court yard for two reasons. The
church building is already crowded
and it was found necessary to pro,
vide more room. Hence the selec'
ten of the court yard. And again
many men will drop into the class
there who would not go up to the
church and attend Sunday school.
This class is going to result in
world of good and we all owe Judg'
Maiden a vote of thanks for the pro
found interest he manifests in tn
work.

ZenS.
Such a criminal, who possessed good
looks and manners. obtained lodgings
with an estimable family In an ex-
elusive section of the East side. He
was educated and cultured, speaking
fluently many languages. He posed as
teacher of languages and excused his
irregular absences from home at all
hours of the day and night by telling
the family that he had several wealthy
pupils whom he had to visit when their
fancy dictated. When the police ap-
peared at the house early one morning
and arrested him for serious crime,
and explained to his guileless host that
he was an old offender whose finger
prints adorned many cities, 1t came as
an unpleasant shock.
Another familiar type is the criminal
whose family or relatives are ignorant
of the life he is leading. On embarking
on his career he pursues an honest call
ing in the daytime. making adventur-
GUS excursions into crime at night. II
successful In eluding the police and
capture, he eventually gives up his
honest occupation entirely, depending
on his steaIlngs and dividends in crime
to support him.
Real Calling Hidden.
In doing this he endeavors to keeT
his real calling hidden from his parent,
/ and relatives posing as salesman oI
worker, perhaps in the financial dis
trict. Not infrequentIy his parents dis
cover his real calling before he fall

tempt is made to reform him Before
this can be done he sometimes leaves

When the stars appeared in the sky,

out her violin. Then on the quiet

were so wonderful that other camp

New York.-The human side of
criminals, as revealed by their domes-

up to the public gaze. Those Of pro-
nounced professional types are by ma
ture secretive and mysterious and
much Of our knowledge of their hui
man side comes from penal institutions
and prisons, or from occasional ipves-
legations made by the police into their
home life. 1t is known. however, that
most of them lead Jekyll and Hyde
existence and that in their double lives
they are as eager to deceive unsuspect-
ing persons as they are to avoid the
police.
In the choice of abodes they are no
different from honest folk. There are
many types of criminals, who occupy
many types of homes, from the most
humble to the most pretentious. They
have been found in lodging houses and
in private dwellings where they have
been waited upon by lackeys and serv-
ants. Living as they do in constant
fear of the police, they change their
abodes frequently, and in doing this
they move from city to city and from
