It is with A great deal of pleasure we greet our reader* to-day, the first day in a new year, because it ia the first time that THE ENTERPRISE baa ever greeted its readers op a New Year's day. We wish you one aud all a Hippy ai.d prosper ous New Yf»r, and Imje that you all will he readers ol Tub L'KTKRrnisK for many many years, and that there will JM* many, many more added to your number ere another new year, Elsewhere in this issue will be found an article headed *'An A ppeal to Parents." The appeal ia very timely, aud if we could postibly aay anything that would increase the fi>i«e of the article we would take great pleasure in doing to, luiProf. Cowper ha« made the appeal iu such terms tliat for us to aay anything it would be a repetition of his office. We will add this much however, that we hope the parents will heed and be guird id by the appeal.

But thai day is not like ly to come. The execration and contempt with which the Pennsylvania gag law was re ceived is evidence that the right of the (teople to condemn un faithful servants through the medium of the press will be maintained in th : s country. The Massachusetts aupremr court has decided that it is not unlawful for a man to sell his vote, and, therefore it is not libelous to accuae a man of do ing so; but it is a violation of law for a man to buy a vote. There ia a good deal to recom mend this view, says the Phila delphia Record. It is the man who sells his vote who gets moat of the denunciation and at whom moat legislation againat political corruption ia aimed. But it ia the man who bjys vots who tempts the other to aell, and he ia in moat caacs a man of moaus and property and standing in the community , and is infinitely more cu'pable than the vote seller. The vote buyer is tbe promoter of cor ruption and tbe man whose punishment ia eaaential to good govarment. Millie TruklM It is exceptional to find a family where there are no domestic rup tures occasionally, but these can I e lessened by having Dr. King's New Life Pills around.

A friend gave me part of u botlle of Cham berlains Cough Renudy with in structions to closely follow the di rections and I wish to state that af ter the first day I could notice n decided change for the better, and at this time after usiug it for two weeks, have no hesitation in saying I realize that I am entirely cured."

With the season's compliments, I am, R. T. COBURN Aa Appeal to Pareats Before resuming our school du ties for the new year, we wish to make an earnest appeil to the pat rons of the Williainston Graded School to r a more lieafty co-oper ation in our work. No school can accomplish the best results unless a strong sympathy and lively interest is manifested for it by the public. Indeed, the patrons of a school have a part and duty to perform, which the teacher can not possibly do, and which, if left undone, af fects very seriously the child's de velopment. The parents should sympathize with and encourage the children in their efforts, or if need be, shonld stimulate them to great er efforts. They ought also to di rect the children in the formation of habits. Habits when once ac quired become second nature, and it is about as easy for the child, if managed right, to form studious as indolent habits. « The parents' duty is to establish the children in the right way of do ing. They should see to it that the children have regular study hours at night, and they should be assured that they study during the period. Good results can not fair ly be expected from the boy who is allowed to spend the time on the streets which he should be con suming with his books. But we wish principally to call the attention of the pafrons to the necessity of regular attendance The attendance at the graded school during the post Fall was not as good as it could or should have been.. Many parents do not realize to the full extent the actual loss' a NOTICE!!! Aa I expect to 1* gone on a vacation for a month or more for the benefit of mv health, I take thia means of informing my friends.
