? Congratulation
Editor Entkkpkisk,
Wiu.iamston, N. C.
Dear Sir;
I wish to congratulate Hie lui
terprise upon its eight years career
which closed with the last issue.
I now havfe the first x>py that
ever went through the press, when
it was started by Mr. Dail, and
have watched its career with much
interest. Tho it bas had some ups
and downs, vet it is and has been
a great factor for good in the com
munity. It has always stood foi
and boldly advocated the things that
were best for the community ami
has served as a great educator for
our people.
The county newspaper generally
does not receive tlie proper support
from the people that it deserves.
worth is unestiniated and the public
expect the lienefit of Its good in
fluence without Jending either then
moral or fiancial support,.
Your success has been such,
however, that 1 would infer that
you have strong backing from your
county men, you should have, out
ot the four thousand families in
the county, not less than -?ooo,
paid up suliscribers-, v to say nothing
aliout the cotnpliineutaiies
I-confidentially believe that witli
the steady growth of , ' ,L ' l )U l H ''
that you will ere long have to in
crease its size to eight pagt
paper.
1 hope that the paper will louj:
continue its good work for tin
moral and material good of oui
people.
Respectfully,
A SVHRCTUIIKK.

MR. EDITOR: —
In uiy travels over the Stite, I
always find great pleasure in visit
ing shops and factories. There is
ever a fascination in taking mental
notes of the industrial progress in
the places visited. Coining into
your town after an absence of five
. vears, 1 found much to interest one.
Being especially fond cf the pro
ducts of mechanical labor. 1 spent
a part of one day in the factory of
the Martin County Buggy Com
pany. I found as complete a shop
as is generally seen in the large
raanufactoring towns. Skilled
workman were in charge of every
department, aud the manager, Mr.
V J. Z. Gardner, is well known as a
man of wide experience in the
building of high grade vehicles. I
learned the names of the stockhold
ers, and they are among the sound
est business men of the town,
they have confidence and money
in the enterprise, aud will push tt
to success. The display of vehicles
is an attractive one, and the out
ir.'K* .■
put is large, consi Bering the fact
that the factory has existed onlv a
few mouths. They combine dura
bility with beautv of finish and ,
design. Each job turned out is
guaranteed to be of the best mater
ial and workmanship. The factory
is a valuable addition to the indus- 1
trial progress of the County, and
there should be no need for foreign
vehicles. I found that purchases ,
could be made on easy term-!, and
that prices Were Jow considering
the quality. It is with pleasure
aud satisfaction that I commend
the work to lovers of an attractive
and up to-da'.e vehicle.
