WHY IT PAYS
Af;;/
To Buy From the Mer-
chant who Advertises
Because he has no shelf-worn goods-
His stocks are continually moving-
Because he can sell you goods cheaper than the man who
does not advertise. Why? Because his advertising sells
his goods, and he can sell at a less profit than the man
who does not advertise. He sells $2 worth of goods to the
non-advertiser’s $1. He can sell at a profit of 10 per cent
and make as much as the non-advertiser who must charge
you 20 per cent. —-- See the point?
The advertisers enable us to give you a newsy paper. The advertisers are the ones who deserve
the credit for giving you a good county paper. A paper without advertising could not exist long,
so the advertisers are entitled to your trade if you appreciate the paper. We could give you sev-
eral other reasons why you should buy advertised goods. But these few should convince you.

We Want Correspondents.
We want a regular correspon-
dent from every town in the coun-
ty. We have some faithful cor-
respondents from many of the
towns already. Here of late we
have received a few letters from
some of the towns where we have
no correspondents, but they have
failed to state whether or not
they want to act as regular cor-
respondents:* We want to send
stamps and envelopes to every
one who will write for our paper
every week, or every two weeks.
But we do not care to send these
stamps and envelopes out to those
who do not expect to write only
once every three months We
want correspondents who have
enough interest in getting news
items every week or two. We
have an interest in our corres-,
pondents and wef want them to
have an interest in our paper. If
you want to act as our correspon-
dent write us for stamps and en-
velopes. We will know then that
you expect to write regular,
tf . " The Editor.
Our 1912 Calendar Samples.
We have just received our cal
endar samples for, 1912 and will
soon call on the trade for their
orders. We have the most at-
tractive line of calendar samples
ever shown and our prices are
much lower than other concerns,
as we do the printing ourselves,
and we save the purchaser agents
commission. Hold your calendar
order for us and we will save you
money, and also give you the best
grade of goods on the market.
Those who bought calendarsfrom
us last year were more than
pleased with the work and we
want to get some new calendar
customers this year.
Yours for business,
The Enterprise.
CUTTING PROFIT8.
‘Where did you get your fur over-
coat, doctor?” asked one of his pa-
tients. “I got this when Mr. Bur-
rows had appendicitis,” the doctor
replied.
TIMBER LASTS LONG.
Don’t Buy
Marble or Monumental worki till
you see or write N. F. Belk
Groveton, Texas, who represents
one of the largest concerns in
the South. Material and work
manship the best while prices
are right. Upon notice will vis-
it any part of Polk county.
The average life of 1 Australian
timbers naturally varies' greatly, be-
ing dependent on situation and cli-
mate. In western Australia jarrah
bridge piles have been taken up per-
fectly sound after being 45 years in
the ground, while instances are on
record where the ironbark, redgum
and gray box *of the eastern states in
similar situations have been discov-
ered to have an equally long life. In
the more humid parts of Queensland
the life of bridge piles varies greatly,
but it may be skid to extend from
fifteen to over thirty years.
WOMAN LAW STUDENT.
Miss Nellie J. Ryder of Bangor,
Me., is the second woman to enter
the University of Maine law school
to take the regular course. She ex-
pects , to graduate after the three
years’ course as LL. D. One would
rather expect the professional wom-
an to predominate in the east, but
she seems to be in greater numbers
in the middle west

Mrs. Lazenbee—Here’s the man
•come to fix our clock. Go up stairs
and get it for him, won’t you?
Mr. Lazenbee—It isn’t up stairs,
is it?
Mrs. Lazenbee—Certainly. Where
did you think it was?
Mr. Lazenbee—I thought it had
run down.

FAMOUS ENGINEER DEAD.
HIS SUGGESTION.
—
T The great road builder had his
mind on his work that morning, as
the following dialogue between him
and his wife will show:
“How do I look, dear?”
^“Fairly well, but I should say that
four face needed resurfacing.”

Sir John Aird, builder of the fa-
mous Assuan dam across the Nile,
died in London early in the new
year. He was bom in 1833 and was
a member of the contracting firm of
John Aird & Sons. Besides his great
engineering feat in Egypt, for which
he Was made a peer in 1901 and alsc
decorated with the grand cordon of
the Medjidie, he later engaged in the
colossal scheme at Hodbarrow, de-
scribed as “pushing the sea back,”
in order that the Cumberland iron
mines might be worked. He was
prominent in politics and had served
in parliament as a member othe
Conservative party.
A librarian of the Bibliotheque
Nationalc, the “Semaine Literaire”
tells its readers, recently came upon:
a document which enabled him to
guess “le secret de Catherine dq
Medicis.” This was nothing lead
than the conquest of the two Ameri-
cas. The document in question is a
map, dated 1584, in which both
North and South America were
marked out as being French colonies.
This discovery put the finder on the
way to obtain some proofs of the
projects of this ambitious queen. She
had named, it seems, two viceroys—
Troile de Mergonez was to reconquer
the north of the continent, and Ad-
miral Strozzi was to take possession
of Brazil, after having driven the
Portuguese out of the Azores. The
two viceroys actually sailed, fur-
nished with secret and signed orders,
but an unkind fate ordained that
Troile should lie shipwrecked and
Strozzi defeated and killea in a bat-
tle off the Azores. The death of
both the leaders brought the royal
project to naught, and nothing
would have been known of it but for
the diligence and perspicuity of the
learned librarian. ,
Humus making tf-ops are suck
grasses as timothy, clover, blue grass,
brome grass and alfalfa. It has been
found that grass land plowed and put
Into crops Is under better conditions
of moisture and freer from weeds than
land that has grown grain continu-
ously.
