M. A. Collins closed a deal this
week with Sam Bird whereby he
sold Sam his new residence proper-
ty on Main Street. We did not
learn the consideration as Shorty
was ashamed to tell how bad he
skinned Sam, and Sam was equally
reticent in telling how bad he got
skinned.
Sam Bird attended Commission-
ers’ Court in Graham the first part
of the week, and we were informed
that the Court was sitting as a
board of equalization, and that the
renditions in various sections of . the
county were being raised to meet
the increased cost of county govern-
ment.

KICKED BY MULE
SERIOUSLY HURT
Mabren Gibbs, well known in this
section, was kicked by a mule on the
Turner Richardson place Tuesday,
and is in a serious condition at the
Hamilton Sanitarium.
Gibbs was plowing in a field
some distance from the house, and
when he failed to come in for din-
ner they went out to look for him,
and found him lying unconscious
on the ground in the field. It
seemed evident that he had been
kicked by one of the mules while
unhooking the team to go to dinner,
and his skull was fractured. He
was brought to the Hamilton Sani-
tarium and is being given every pos
sible attention. The. Enterprise
hopes his injury does not prove per-
manent.
GENTRY-GILMORE
Wade H. Gentry and Miss Clara
Gilmore were united in marriage
at the home of the bride’s parents,
Mr. and Mrs. M. L. Gilmore, just
north of town, Sunday afternoon,
May 23, 1920, at 4:00 o’clock.
Rev. J. B. Riddle, pastor of the
Baptist Church, performed the im-
pressive ceremony which made
them man and wife.

him for a five dollar bill, he’s a
fraud of the first water, even
though he prays night and morn till
he’s black in the face, and
howls hallelujah till he shakes the
eternal hills. But if his chidren
rush to the front gate to greet him,
and love’s own sunshine illumines
the face of his wife when she hears
his footfall, you may take it for
granted that he’s true gold, for his
home’s a heaven and the humbug
when he violates any law of God.
He is a traitor to the cause of
righteousness which exalteth a na-
tion. This is plain, everyday moral-
ity, which every man of common
sense should recognize. The way
to make a nation stronger and.
truer is for each individual to give
up his sin. This is not preaching,

every way unprofitable as getting
married by proxy or apostrating a
pair of empty bloomers. Seldom
does a man pass the shoals of court-
ship and the quicksands of matri-
mony without occasionlly taking his
pen in hand to inform the janitor of
his affections that he’s a large pie-

his ears against his hollow head.

“Print the grandest sermon that
ever fell from Massillon’s lips of
gold, and not 20 per cent of the pro-
fessedly pious, will read it; print
a detailed, account of an interna-
tional prize-fight and 99 per cent of
the very select will make a dive for
the paper before breakfast—will
swoop down upon it like a hungry
hen-hawk reaching for an unripe-
gosling and fairly devour it, then
roll their eyes to heaven like a calf
with the colic and wonder what this
wicked old world is coming to.”—
Brann, The Iconoclast.
when he has enough of a bad thing.
Instead of annexing Mexico, he is
far more likely to put the people of
that country on a par with China’s
pigtails and prevent their immigra-
tion. This he would certainly do
and do it quickly, but for fear of
losing the litte trade he has built
up with that country. The average
Mexican immigrant is more ignor-
ant than the Chinaman, and in:
finitely more worthless. If Texas
could trade what Mexicans she has
for a plugged quarter and lost it
she would be millions of dollars
ahead of the deal.”—Brann, The
Iconoclast.
We have done those things which
we ought not to have done, and left
undone people whom we ought to
