DRUMM-JOHNSTON
WEDDING TUESDAY
Mr. Luther Drumm and Miss
Zera Johnston, both of this city,
were married in Wichita Falls
Tuesday, January 15, 1917.
They stole a march on their
many friends here, and completely
surprised us by thus happily
culminating a courtship of many
months.
The bride is the oldest daughter
of W. L. Johnston, a prominent
mei chant connected with The
Stephens, Roach 'Company. She
is a charming and highly efficient
young lady who will grace the
home of her fortunate husband.
She is well known here, having
lived in Olney most all of her life,
-and for some time she has been a
•saleslady in The Stephens, Roach
store.
■ Mr. Drumm was raised near
■Loving, where his parents reside,
and for a year or more he has been
working in the Grimes Barber
Shop in this city. Luther is a
clean, competent, manly young
fellow who numbers his friends by
his acquaintances and who is noted
.for his sobriety and integrity.
The Enterprise joins their host
<of mutual friends in wishing for
them long life and much happi-
ness.
SAM BIRD ANNOUNCES
FOR COMMISSIONER
RED CROSS NEWS
AT THE MAJESTIC
FOR THE WEEK
Tonight (Friday) : “The Mad-
ness of Helen, featuring Ethel
Clayton and Carlyle Blackwell. A
modern story, jammed with sus-
pense and mystery. These two im-
mensely popular stars in the most
fascinating of offerings. All un-
beatable combination.
Saturday night: “All Man,”
featuring Robert Warwicke and
Mollie King.
Written by Willard Mack which
is a guarantee of the story’s quali-
ty. Jim Blacke, the hero, is a
millionaire’s son who has but one
idea in life—to have a good time.
The father disinherits him and
sends him out west. There the
young man makes good in a
spectacular manner. A splendid
role for the star.
-s Monday night: “The Social
Leper,” with Carlyle Blackwell,
June Elvidge, Arthur Ashley and
Evelyn Greely.
The story of a woman's desper-
ate efforts to win a man and of the
sorrow and pain she caused others
by her efforts, and of the final
happiness which came to these
others. A brilliant offering. Look
at the names of the players.
There will be no show on either
Tuesday or Wednesday nights, as
we hope to move to our hew loca-
tion in the Old Anderson Drug
store stand on those days.
Thursday night: Clara Kim-
ball Young in “Marriage a la
Carte.” When you say “Clara
Kimball Young,” you have said
plenty. Great!
Friday night: MOTHERS OF
FRANCE, with Sarah Bernhardt
in the leading role. Think of it—
the Divine Sarah coming to your
town in a moving picture! And
such a picture! This shows actual
war conditions in France as they
are today, and the inexpressibly
noble part the women of France
are taking to help in this great war
and thus make the world safe for
Democracy. PRICES FRIDAY
NIGHT will be 15 and 25 cents.
This picture has been shown for
50 cents in many of the large cities
in the last three months. Don’t
miss your opportunity to see it!
Saturday night: “The world
Against Him,” featuring E. K.
Lincoln and June Elvidge. . .
Some troubles are real and some
are imaginary . Mark West in this
drama has troubles that pile up
mountain high. But the hero wins
out in a way to lift an audience to
its feet shouting with applause.
FRY CASE IS REVERSED
BY HIGHER COURT

The manufacture and consump-
tion of pastry regarded as a luxury
in France has been entirely sup-
pressed, except on Sundays and
holidays.
The Enterprise takes pleasure
in announcing to the people that
Sam Bird has agreed to run for
Commissioner of this precinct sub-
ject to the action of the Democratic
primary election in July.
Sam Bird is one of the Olney
country ’s very best citizens, a sub-
stantial farmer and a clearheaded
and efficient business man
thoroughly capable . and honest.
He has made a success of his own
business, which is the very best
reccommendation as to his quali-
fications for handling the business
of the country.
This end of the precinct has not
furnished a man for commissioner
in several years, and in all fairness
we are entitled to name the next
commissioner. This we have done
and Sam Bird is the man.
Sam has had quite a lot of ex-
perience in road work the last few
years, and has proven himself ca-
pable as well as a good roads en-
thusiast.
The Enterprise recommends
him as a man, and also vouches
for his qualifications, and earnest-
ly hopes to see him elected.
On account' of the severe cold
weather we have not been able to
have our regular meetings.
Every one, who possibly can, is
urged to be at the workroom Fri-
day at 2 o-’clock. We have some
important business to attend to.
There are ‘ still a few comfort
bags that have not been filled. If
there is any one who wishes to fill
a bag for a Young County boy you
may get one by calling at the work
room.
We hope to begin the surgical
dressings very soon.
BEWARE OF
CHAIN LETTERS
Government barges have been
placed in service on the upper Mis-
sissippi, and through Government
assistance a new fleet is to be built
for this service. Sugar is being
moved by barge from Louisiana
plantations to New Orleans.
-o-
The Anderson Drug Company
has moved into its new quarters in
the Hamilton Hotel building, and
is now comfortably located. The
new stand is much more conveni-
ent and makes a far prettier store
than the old, which is soon to be
occupied by the picture show.
The chain letter is being used
throughout the country in the
name of the Red Cross, but with-
out authorization.- National Head-
quarters wishes us to state in the
most emphatic manner possible
that the American Red Cross dis-
approves of this method of raising
funds. The chain letter even in
the best of causes tends to become
a nuisance and is so susceptible
of abuse that we cannot permit the
name of'the Red Cross to be con-
nected with it. Do not waste time
or postage either in carrying on
the chain letter or sending in-
quiries to this office. Make it a
rule to consign to the waste basket
every chain letter received by you.

GRANDMA GRIMES
DIED YESTERDAY
Mrs. J, J. . Grimes, lovingly
known throughout the city as
Grandma Grimes, passed to her re-
ward at 9:15 yesterday morning
after a short illness from pneumo-
nia.
Mrs. Grimes has not beeen in the
best of health for several years, but
her death at this time was entirely
unexpected and came as quite a
shock to the community.
She was a faithful Christian wo-
man, a loving wife and a fond
mother, and her influence will be
sadly missed by not only her loved
ones but by the entire community
as well.
The funeral will be conducted
from. the Methodist tabernacle at
3:30 this afternoon, Rev. J. W.
Head, her pastor, conducting the
service.
The Enterprise extends its
sincerest sympathy to the bereaved
husband and son.

Through the efforts of the super-
intendent, H. L. Groner, the peo-
ple of the Ingleside School District
enjoyed a series of three splendid
lectures delivered by Dr. H. K.
Taylor, of T. W. C„of Fort Worth.
To those who had heard Dr. Taylor
in his Chautauqua lectures at Lov-
ing the past summer,the announce-
ment of his engagement at Ingle-
side was indeed glad tidings and
although the weather was cold and
inclement the lecture Saturday
night was well attended. Sunday
m'orning at 11 o’clock and again
at / :3Q Sunday night, Dr. Taylor
lectured most entertainingly to
large and appreciative audiences.
On Saturday night Dr. Taylor
lectured oh “The Greatest Thing
in the Community. ’ ’ He emphasiz-
ed the fact that the only thing of
real value in a community is its
people and that their value to the
community depended not alone, up-
on inherent goodness, but upon the
higher ideals of life and a broader
and more intelligent insight into
their duty to their fellow mam, arid
that the only way in which to get
the higher and more valuable
things out of people was by put-
ting these higher ideals into them
by^ education. He spoke of the con-
solidated school as being the great-
est enterprise in any community
and said that every country boy
and girl has the need of, and the
right to, as good a high school
education as is givdn in our best
city schools.
Dr. Taylor believes that the only
way to interest the country boys
and girls, and keep them in the
country is to make the country life
attractive by comfortable homes
good churches and Sunday schools,
good consolidated schools and good
roads.
Facts from other states were
given to prove the correctness of
his assertions.
Dr. Taylor’s lecture Sunday
morning was on “The Foundations
of Our Patriotism”. In the course
of his remarks he said that Ameri-
ca stands not only for National
patriotism, but for international
patriotism, and that the basis of
our patriotism is not in military
victories of the past nor on our
great material resources, but in the
righteous way in which we have
treated weaker nations, and in the
stand we have taken in behalf of
the rights of weaker people every-
where. Our treatment of Cuba,
China and Colombia were related
to show upon what lofty ideals our
patriotism is founded.
Dr. Taylor’s discourse Sunday
night was on “A Paying Invest-
ment.”
He proved conclusively that
education is the biggest paying in-
vestment anyone can make. He
defined education as “self-dis-
covery,” saying,that the God-given
gifts by which we may do some-
thing worth while were brought to
light and developed only by educa-
tion.
He drew a sharp line of distinc-
tion, however, between eductional
development and training, point-
ing out that it is not sufficient to
merely have the mind developed
but that it must be trained also.
For though the mind- may be
thoroughly developed for directing
the body, the body by lack of train-
ing may be finable to obey.
Those who were so fortunate as
to hear Dr. Taylor were impressed
by the masterful way in which he
handled his subjects and the wide
range,- of his knowledge.; The T.
AY. C. has in Dr. Taylor, not only
an able instructor, but a talented
and highly entertaining lecturer.
