Bro. Delbert Oreen closed the
meeting at Duren last Wednes-
day night and went to Center
Point and preached a few ser-
mons, which were enjoyed by all
who heard him.
A. E. Pybum had a family re-
union at his home on last Tues-
day. Had a turkey dinner and
all the good things the* go with
it and iced drinks. All enjoyed
the feast. The children who
came from a distance were C. A
Pybum fre*n Coleman courRy,
George Pybum and family from
Fisher county, W. M Pybum,
Mlttle Lee Pybum, D. T Pybum
and family from Indian Oap,
and Miss Amanda Schuster, who
was a guest
This ls Tuesday morning and
no rain yet, but the morning is
nice and cool. Everybody is at
work, who are not sick. We are
sorry to report that Norman
Duren ls hi the hospital at
Brownwood and underwent an
ojjeratlon, and on last report he
was doing nicely.
Grandmother Green had an
accident one day this week. She
fell In the floor and hurt her hip
but not badly.
Albert Oreen left Sunday for
his home on the plains.
Mrs Frank Spinks ls not doing
so good at this writing.
Grandmother Jones Is doing
nicely. She was able to attend
the meeting several times.
Harry Warren and family left
Sunday for their home at Lub-
thuslasm.
The governor's race Is attract-
ing much intense Interest and
the representative’s race ls also
a close one, so It seems.
The congressmen are also In
the heat of battle and so as we
go to press we regret that there
will be written In our next Issue
the disappointment of one or
more for each office, with the
success and laurels for only one.
Politics moves In strange cir-
cles and history seems to inform
us often that the winner ls the
loser as time marches on.
AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION IS
WORTH POUND OF CURE
Several of our neighboring
towns have had recent bitter ex-
periences from dogs and cats af-
fected with rabies. A mad dog
or pet can do much harm and
regrets be too late.
An ounce of prevention Is
worth a pound of cure in cases
of this kind, so why not wage a
war on the many half starved
stray cats and dogs that are so
at home in this town
NOTICE
Walter Fairman called the En-
terprise's attention to the omis-

With the loan of a car we went
to Brownwood yesterday and saw
Will Rogers In "Handy Andy.”
The most imjjortant thing of the
trip was the ride In a car. We
got off at 3 p m. and went down
the new highway, which was
very dusty until you hit |the
Brown county line, where the
pavement begins
Short as the trip was we com-
pared It to as much fun as going
to A Century of Progress. We
never realized we missed a car
so, until we got the loan of one
All three drew straws, and I got
to drive.
Met Z. T. McCown and O. E.
Rice coming back with the am-
bulance. Glenn Kittle had been
rushed to a hospital in Brown-
wood with a ruptured appendix.
We stopped there to see Mrs.
Glenn Kittle. She said Glenn was
sleeping and doing all right. Had
been operated upon about three
hours before.
Waiting for a green light, then
to stop at Woolworth's to pur-
chase a red leather breast collar
for Jack, the new hound dog at
our house that Lee White gave
away. Met Mary Ruth Hancock
in there, too. She took me up to
Mac's business college and In-
troduced me to the manager. I
have got the nutty idea that I
want to learn short hand. If I
can make arrangements to come
to Brownwood with the signal
maintalner at 5 p. m. on Mon-
day, Tuesday, Thursday and Fri-
days, I might do It.
The family waiting when I
came down the steps. Saw Mrs.
Joe Brown window shopping, and
down another block, the boy who
broke his arm at the Goldthwai'e
skating rink. In the show next o

Dusk had arrived when we
came out of the cool theatre.
Over across the street to an Ice
cream parlor, where only Ice
cream is served at the counter
Five dippersful for a nickel, any
flavor you want. We selected
chocolate and princess special
and exchanged bites now and
then. Saw Mrs Judson Prince
there, who came In for three
cones, which were very large
ones, too. A poor boy came In
looking very hungry We took
pity on him, but before we could
locate a nickel he disappeared
Ten minutes later we found him
in a side alley rummaging trash
boxes and garbage cans. We
called and gave him a dime,
making us feel better ten time?
