The contract for paving the fi rst
unit of the streets of Enterprise was
awarded to the Warren Construc-
tion company, at an estimated total
cost of $114,000. The contract is
the largest for any public work ever
done in the county.
Conducting his own case, Peter
Heuel convinced seven members
of a Circuit court jury that he was
innocent of the charge of will-
fully scattering Jim Hill mustard
seed upon the fi elds of neighboring
farms. The jury stood 7 for acquit-
tal to 5 for conviction. Another trial
will be necessary if the charge is to
be pressed further.
Expecting a large number of
soldiers and sailors in town for
Memorial Day, the local commit-
tee asks that provision be made to
furnish free rooms for those who
wish to remain in town over night.
The local chairman asks that 100
rooms be listed. Every family hav-
ing a room available is requested to
advise him at once.
Plans for the new building of the
IOOF lodge have been completed.
It will present an attractive appear-
ance, with a front giving the impres-
sion of three stories in height. The
lodge expects to have the building
fi nished and ready for use this fall.
