Theodore is in Chile. Who
cares?
Never has there been such
lovely weather as for the past two
weeks. The man who Can keep
grouchy in the midst of it has no
place on earth. Sun, earth and
sky have combined to produce
days of which poets dream and
write. This is indeed a land
blessed of God, and the harvest
ig plentiful.
The recent dinner that Huerta
gave cost $20,000 just for the
things to eat. A specimen of the
high cost of living, and the folks
have to pay for it. A fat Martin
County possum with pnmpkin
yams, wild turkey (woods full
of 'em), rod ham, quail, pies like
mother used to make and grape
juice can put that din tier on the
shelf and not half try. And the
best of it, the whole menu is
right at home.
A Tar Heel in Virginia
Editor. TI(E ENTERPRISE,
Dear Sir:
I write to let you know
..how much I enjoy reading THE
ENTERPRISE. lam glad to see
tlu items from the different town
ships in the' county. I am ac
quainted with a large number of
people in the county and hear
from them in this way, when
otherwise, I would not.
lam very glad to know that
the farmers are getting good
prices for their crops and are
reaping the reward of their labor.
It is a great pleasure to hear
these people in Virginia say that
North Carolina is one of the fore
mast states in the union intellec
tually and financially. Just a
few years ago the Old North
State was looked down on as be
ing behind the times but today
we can point with pride to her
rapid progress along all lines of
industry. It is an undisputed
fact, that not one state in the
union has equalled her along
educational lines in the last ten
or fifteen years.
lam glad to know* that my
home county is running an intel
ligent paper. I think the people
of Martin County should give
their home paper a hearty sup
port and see that they have as
good a paper as any county in the
state with the same population.
The people in Martin County
are blessed with good govern
ment. The taxevare much lower
than in many places. Taxes here,
in Norfolk, are twice as high as
they are in Martin County. I
• consider this a great blessing.
I read in THE ENTERPRISE that
you are advocating and building
good roads, which, when complet
ed will meet with the approval of
both those who favored them and
those who opposed them.
I notice that there are not any
items from Robersonville any
more. What is the trouble are
they all asleep or are they too
busy to write? May be we will
hear from them in the next issue
of THE ENTERPRISE. Mr. Editor:
I wish you much success with
your paper.
Very truly yours,
J. C. ANDREWS.

j WHY fto i GET
A GUARANTEE?
Every Article of Merit that is Sold
These Days is Guaranteed—No
Guarantee Often Means Poor
Quality.
There is very little excuse for
any person to claim that he has
been "stung" on a purchase.
Fifty years ago the buyer had to
look out, but today it is unusual
to find a merchant who will not
return the money for any article
that has proved unsatisfactory.
An excellent example of this
kind of fair dealing isjshown by
the clean cut guarantee that
Saunders & Fowden give on Dod
son's Livor Tone.
These people tell us that any
person who pays 50c. for a bottle
of Dodson's Liver Tone and does
not find it a gentle plea
sant liver tonic, harmless, but a
surs reliever of constipation and
a perfect substitute for calomel,
can get his money back just as
quick as they can get it out of
the money drawer.
Dodson's Liver Tone has prac
tically taken the place of calomel.
It is absolutely harmless, sure in
its action and causes no restric
tion of habit or diet. No wonder
the drutj people are glad to guar
antee it, while other remedies
that imitate the claims of Dod
son's Liver Tone are not guaran
teed at all.
