IN prewar days when they were many,
could by any human possibility have
a more toothsome feast. They aren't
made, you know.
Which also reminds us that the tur-
key is Americas gift to the world. Y
The turkey is truly an American
bird. 1t existed on the continent with
the Indians before Columbus landed.
Only a few years ago among the c1lves
Of Arizona the mummified remains of
4 turkey were found. Practically every
cave once occupied by the cliff dwell
ers Of that region contained the bones
or feathers Of the turkey, but this spe-

Of speculation among the scientists Of
the National museum, where the speci-
men is on exhibition.
Another interesting fact in this same
connection resulted from n scientific
expedition which DIR. c. Hart Merit
man made among the mountains OF
Arizona he came across living spe-
cles of bird Identical with the one
found mummifled and which Is known
to the scientific world by his name.
Another recent discovery in connec-

turkey In this country and antedates

In 1919.
But the turkey goes back further
among the Indians than even the prob

Once upon time, so the legend runs.
there was food and the face OF the

IS MUCH LOWER

What will be happy news to many
is the statement made to the En-
terprise man in Martin last Monday
by Mr.. AL C. Gardner, who is just
back from a two weeks visit to the
New York market. Mr.. Gardner
states that he positively found
ladies' ready-to-wear 25 per cent
cheaper than a year ago, when he
visited the same market.
He did not stare the reason, nor
does any one care for the reason
the reduction in price is what con-
Germs us provided it is lower
price on what the other fellow has
to offer. But he says he found
lower price on strictly high. grade
goods and that he made extensive
purchases. In fact, he showed US
some of these garments and they
look good mighty good, since the
price is lower.

The remains of Vincent Byars
reached Dresden last Tuesday noon
from New York, having arrived al
that port some ten days previous
The remains were carried to the
home of the young mans mother
Mrs. F. E. Byars, in Dresden, and on

roes to reach Dresden. Vincent was
the brother Of Mr.. Ben Byars, the
fur dealer. He died in Fance fol
lowing flu and pneumonia, and be-
sides his moher and brother, left a
young wife. He was a model boy
with a bright future unfolding be-
fore him, when the war cloud hung
low over his beloved nation,

fist church came to close Sunday
night, Rev. Ellis leaving Monday
morning for his home in Memphis.
The attendance was large through

TENNESSEANS IN
ALABAMA IN THE
HANDS OF FRIENDS

Decatur, Ala, Aug. 23.-More de-
termined than ever to kill the wo-
man suffrage amendment so far as
their state is concerned-thirty lone
members of the Tennessee house,
who have broken the quorum of
that body coming here from
Nashville, today were planning ac-
ceptance of several invitations ex-
tended by Alabamians who wish to
make their stay pleasant.
Enough members of the house are
now here to halt further proceeding
at Nashville, but Representative
Hall declared early today he ex-
pected several more insurgents
would join his party.
The Tennesseans have been re-
ceived with open arms by the citi-
zens of this town, and the visitors
have been flooded with invitations
to attend social gatherings.
The legislators Sunday attended
services at the Baptist church in the
morning and at the Methodist
church at night, occupying front
pews. They still wore red roses sig
nifying their opposition to woman
suffrage,
Mrs James S. Pinckard, president
of the Southern Woman's Rejection
league, extended them an invitation
to visit Montgomery, her home city.
Col. W, T, Sanders, democratic ma
ticnal committeeman for Alabama,
was also here with an invitation to
the legislators from Athens, Ala.
Part of,-the day was spent in
sightseeing trips. Many automobiles
have been placed at the disposal of
the visitors and tours of this sec
tion will be an important feature
of their stay here.
Through Representative Hall,
their leader, they are in constant
touch with Nashville and are watch
ing the legal battle over suffrage
with the greatest interest.

not hold its regular meeting on the
first Thursday in August, but this
meeting tonight is calculated to
make up for lost time-and then

in having a man Of Mr.. Watson's
ability address us along the line of
civic Improvement. Hear him, roll
up your sleeves and wade into the
vast amount Of work which the
league is undertaking and be q real
part and parcel of the community
in which you live, or else Il
Mr.. Byars, treasurer, informs the
Enterprise that a number have failed
to pay up their dues as they pledged
themselves to do, and, as he wants
every member to fully enjoy Mr..
Watson's address tonight, he asks
that you call during the day and get
your receipt, which will entitle you
to all the privileges of the league.

Mineral Springs, Aug. 23.-Bro'
Holt closed a very successful meet
ing at Meridian, after preaching a
number oof splendid sermons, and
went to Pillowville and is preaching
the gospel in full, and the people at
Christmasville are waiting patiently
for him to come and hold a protrac-
ted meeting there. Rev. Holt is a
man that can hold the attention of
any crowd of people, as he is a clas-
sic scholar, a gentleman and man
who surely does understand the BIZ
BILE.
The Delco-Light is being talked
in these parts more than anything
else. A few weeks ago three men
decided to put in lights, and on inves-
tigation, found that the Delco was
what they wanted, and after seeing
the plant demonstrated, have fully
decided that nothing will do but the
Delco, and now the number has en-
larged to Is and each is trying to get
ready for the lights. Advance as
the world advances!
