The railroad company is paying
a good share of the taxes and
spendirig some $30,000,000 in

Enterprise would sell out on

who would continue to serve
this community with a news­

wants to start a paper in some
larger town, but he does not
wish to do that if it can be
avoided. Failing eyesight is
the growng handicap of the

attributes his failure to correct
many errors in the proofs, like
the spelling of “lightening” for
“lightning” and “rains” for
“reins" last week in the narra­
