As to public enterprise, who are the men of Blue Mound who have always labored for the advancement of the best interest of the town and the country tributary? Was it the manipulators of a $1,000 creamery stock company, that within one year swiped 5,000 of our peoples cold cash? Is it the managers of this concern that has financially blistered every hand that has touched its pulse. Now gentlemen, do you think the above is buncomb and eminates from a purely, selfish and niggerly disposition? We have never asked any person not to patronise the creamery, and have always advised our people to dispose of their dairy products to the company or indididual who would offer them the greatest returns. But we do claim the right to'tmy a few pounds of butter or sell a Morey Churn, or any other article that I wish to handle without asking the self constituted philanthropist concern on the corner.

Now if this pass the hat public in-terprise is such a great benefit to our community, our people will find it out and the little 2 6 churn wilt prove no factor in the contest.
