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.
