Adjournment.
Notes
Butler
people turned out en masse and
were prepared to entertain many
more than came.
The
people of Butler never do anything
by halves and all who failed
to attend missed finding out
how the butlerites advocate education.
Hon.
F.F. Wallace, one of our benefactors,
was present and gave a talk which
was warmly applauded.
Prof.
Leslie Barton looked "just
as handsome as he could," in
his "silk plug."
The
debate - ah, there, too, is where
you missed it, who were not there.
Profs Voires and Barton buttered
both sides of the bread they
threw at each other. Don't know
why, but its a fact.
Miss
Viola Moore was the guest of
Mrs. Chas. Peoples Saturday,
and Mrs. R.F. Shaw Sunday.
Association
adjourned until Institute time
this summer. --Guide
Mr.
John Carey, a former Butler man,
is now purchasing tobacco in
Falmouth. He received in Newman's
warehouse there, and has already
purchased about 75,000 pounds.
Last
Saturday we had our annual election
of School Trustee. Messrs. R.W.
Holland and D.W. Frazier were
candidates, and Holland was elected.
He has always been a friend of
the school, and has been a teacher,
and will we believe make a good
one. -Falmouth Cor. Cov.
Com.
The
subscribers of the Enterprise know
we hire our printing and typesetting
done and this week a part of
the force of the Guide office,
where we get our work done is
off to Owensboro, Ky., to attend
the Press Assocation. This causes
us to be late. We see nothing
however, in our faith for the
future that will cause us to
delay or miss an issue.
The
following letters remain in the
Post office at Butler unclaimed:
Anderson, J.T.; Barrett, Miss
Mary; Dunn, Mr. H.E.; Fryer,
Miss Anna F.; Helton, M.W.; Honton,
Mat. W.; Murphy, Jonhnie; Rennart,
J.L.
