SAM SNIP
ON GIVING
And Shows the Hap¬
piness of It.
Si uie I have been a newspaper
writer I have been accused of ev¬
erything on earth except loving a
person who is too stingy to enjoy
good health. I hope I never will
be. I had rather be accused of
running away with another man’s
wife. The w r orld has never had
any use for a man who will shut
his eyes and close his ears to every
object and appeal to charity, and
never will.
The Holy Book makes this mat¬
ter of charity too plain for us to
dispute. And it would not be
were it not for personal gain that
brings a hard heart.
The drawing near of Christmas
always makes me rejoice to think
of the many hearts that will be
made glad by the little Christmas
gifts. I hope this will be one
Christmas when hearts and purses
will be opened wide until every
widow, orphan and object of char¬
ily will be kindly remembered in a
substan tial manner. 1 love to see
this at all times, hut of course, I
speak of it as being more generally
practiced during the holidays. ‘‘It
is more blessed to give than to re¬
ceive. ? y
Twenty years age it came in my
way to kindly speak of a friend in
a i article. Ijtbought no fnore of
it until months had passed when I
met my friend one day and be
said: ‘‘8am, words cannot express
my g-atitude to you.” Handing
me a ten dollar bill, said he: ‘‘Ac¬
cept thisrsa faint token of my
appreciation.” How could he
have more favorably impressed me?
He has t een dead several years
and he died with my best wishes.
Those little gifts are never for¬
gotten and the older they grow the
pvvoeter they get.
A few days ago I was walking
the streets of a Georgia town in
company with a prominent lawyer
when we met an ordinarily looking
man My friend stopped and gave
me a short history of him. Said he:
‘*Th it gentleman was born in this
town and left here when he was
ten years old. His father was
very rich and died soon after reach¬
ing his northern home, leaving
this his only child, his great for¬
tune, who has added largely to it
since. For years he makes this,
his native town, a visit once’a
year, hunts up objects of charity
aud gives away some times as much
as forty thousand dollars a visit.”
By tb s time the gentleman had
turned a corner and I saw no more
of him, but I believe there is a
crown set up in heaven awaiting
him, because “God loves a cheer¬
ful giver.”
While this man is able to give
his thousands there are many who
are able to give their hundreds and
enough destitute places to put it
all, but the cries and earnest plead¬
ings cd the needy ar# never heard
by them.
Personally, I have but little re¬
spect for a man who can give to a
good cause aud are too stingy to
do it.
Reader, when this reaches your
eye-s, the Christmas holidays will
be upon you. Read these lines
aud think of some where you can
give some thing, and then go do it.
Y<u will ieel better.
With a heart full of love to ev¬
erybody, and wishing all a Merry
Christmas and a Happy New Year,
1 am Yours truly,
Sam Snip.

COLORED MAN
IS GOOD FARMER
Plows Deep, Works Hard and of
Course Makes Money.
Solomon Hendricks, a pro¬
gressive colored man who liveB on
Porterdale route 1, came into The
Enterprise office this week and re¬
newed his subscription, declaring
that he could not get along with¬
out it in his home.
Solomon has this year made all
the meat, corn, fodder, hay, flour,
oats and potatoes, he will need to
run his two horse farm on next
year, and has paid all his bills and
has some money left for his cash
puchases on the next crop.
He is a splendid type of the
colored farmer of this county, and
his success is due entirely to his
close ['and diligent application to
his farm duties.
The Enterpris is proud of such
progressive and successful colored
farmers as Solomon, and they are
highly creditable to the county.

Mrs. A. C. Williams, of Bac, Ky.
‘‘The first dose helped me and im¬
provement kept on until I had
gained 58 pouuds in weight and
my health was fully restored.”
This medicine holds the world’s
healing record for coughs and
colds and lung and throat diseases.
It provents pneumonia. Sold un¬
