Address all communications to The Enterprise The Hall-Mills Murder Case Does the world enjoy hearing ot ether's misfortunes might be a rea sonable question to ask after keeping a close tab on the Hall-Mills mtffder tragedy, which took place about four years ago, when the lifeless bodies of Rev. E. W. Hall and Mrs. Eleanor R. Mills were found under a crab-apple tree near the side of "lover's lane, a famous New Jersey by road where many couples gather' at all hours of the day and night. There was no more to this double murder than in the many others that happen every day, except the scandut hinging around prominent persons that it brings out. Nor is it any worse than that which happened ages ago when David the K.ing had a man killed in order that he might gain his wife; and even Joseph had to resist the loving persuasions of the wife of the Egyptian ruler. No one knows, whether the fault of the New Jersey tragedy is chargeable to Dr. Hall or to Mrs. Mills;- yet news of the history of the is being printed throughout the country and is apparently relished by our American citizens even more than great nation al or international events. It may be'that many people like it oecause u involves religious people 01 prominence. This, should not be so. We know that men have erred thru t ut all ages, and whether they have had high rank or low, in any of the j —.— ' NOTICE OF SALE^ Notice is hereby given that under and by virtue of a certain collateral note executed by J.

We care too little "ffntt say too lit tle when we find some unfortunate girl murdered and thrown in the gut ter. We forget that she was once a pretty maid and that she had drift ed too far from the shore line; it may be that the regulations of the high way which she traveled were not properly guarded and enforced. We lose pity; we are not interested, we apparently doff't cure hence we don't say much. Likewise the people do not care so much about the principals in the Hall- Mills murder, but we relish it be cause it is a blot on the church. Yet it is not as big a blot an others out side the church. In fact, Hollywood has produced more scandal than thou sands of and its news fades very fast, unless it reaches A rbuckle proportions. The fact that the whole case was apparently muzzled and kept out of the courts at the time the crime,was committed was a mystery that may have something to do with the pres ent interest the people are taking in the case. The people are perhaps quite as anxious to know why a case of such irrput importance »iwuld k>* slipped from the clutches of the New Jersey law as this case seemed to do. H. P. FOXHALL JOE V.

CARDWELL "I wiah, I can, I will—These are the three trumpet notes to victory." Because of the lack of prosperity »n the farm during recent years the problem of farm prosperity has at tracted even more attention than has foreign debts, the brevity of women's /.kirts, evolution, local taxes, the Ku iClux Klan, and other similarly dis turbing subject*. Many remedies have been proposed, both in and out of Congress, for im proving the financial condition of our farm population; but not any of these has made the same appeal to the writer's imagination as has a little booklet entitled, "Farm Prosperity Guaranteed," by Ralph A. Hayne, of the agricultural extension depart ment, International Harvester Co., written several years ago and recent ly reissued. The writer wishes a copy of this booklet could be placed in the hands of every one and two money crop farmer in this section , for frequent reading. The book is a veritable foun taTrr-of homely farm knowledge, and it is replete with confident statements of fact. In this publication Mr. Haynes backs up his bold title with the fol lowing statement: "We must feed our selves and haVe something to sell every week." He further states "The way to be prosperous, farming, is to first grow a year-round supply of food for the family, then grow plenty of feed for live stock and have live stock NOTICE To Polly Williams, her heirs or her assigns and to any other persons claiming under, through or by her, you will take notice that I purchased one acre of Don Williams land listed in Bear Grass township by Polly Williams, in the year 1924, at a tax sale for taxes due on said land, on the 2nd day of November, 1926. Unless the same is redeemed as provided by law, on or before the 2nd (lay of N«vl"»ll»r IWl. I sVipll Hamand a deed for said land. This 31st day of July 1926. 8-6-4 M. D. TAYLOR. THE KNTZRPBISE—WILUAMBTOfr. If. C to emt it; then if pouible have sowe tktfg to sell every week in the year." This is just good business. If we do this, we can pay off our debts; pay cash for supplies, and put money in the bank. If we do this, hard times can't put us out of business. The farmer who buys all his liv ing and the farmer who has some- 1 I tiling to sell only once or twice a year will be hard up and sore about eight years out of ton. Let's begin right now to grow a living for 365 days of the year and to have something to sell every week. Mr. Haynes proposes that we make farming a good business, and states that this can be done if we will ob serve the following rules: 1. Grow our own feed. 2. Have something to sell every week. 3. Have live stock. 4. Grow a variety of crops, not too many. 6. Grow things that we can grow best and sell best. 6. Improve our marketing. In other words, "Let's make a fac tory of our farm, running the year around, turning out something to sell every week." ✓ In attaing to prosperity on the farm, Mr. Haynes emphasizes this idea, "Sell something every week." He claims farm prosperity is guaranteed if the farmer will make a factory of his farm, running the year around, turning out something to sell every week.
