OF MEXIGAN WORK
Former Newton County Boy Writes a Very
Interesting Letter to a Friend
Rev. W. E. Venable, of this city
has recently received a very in¬
teresting letter from Dr. Bolin S.
Branham, a medical missionary
in Monterrey, Mexico. Dr. Bran¬
ham is a son of Judge and Mrs.
j, W. Branham, of Oxford, and is
well known here.
Di Branham was converted in
a meeting conducted by Mr. Ven¬
able, and recently the latter de¬
termined to raise the money nec¬
essary to support the young mis¬
sionary this year, and in this lau¬
dable work he is meeting with de¬
served success. Dr. Branham’s
letter is very Interesting and The
Enterprise believes it will be ap¬
preciated by its readers and there¬
fore gives it in fall :
Dear Brother Venable:
It was impossible for me to re¬
frain from tears when I read the
article in the Wesleyan written
by Brother LaPrade in regard to
the matter of your assuming a por¬
tion of my salary.
After reading it I felt impress¬
ed to write you and let you know
just how much good it did me
to know your intention and just
how much I appreciate it. I have
thought of you and your work
many times Biuce I have been out
here, and it has always given me
inspiration to know that while I
was laboring out here among these
people that you were also bringing
men to Christ every day by your
untiring efforts in their behalf.
I certainly feel extremely thank¬
ful that God saw fit to nse you as
an instrument in bringing me to a
full surrender to ITis will, and to¬
day I offer up praise and thanks
giviug for the many ways he has
blessed me ai d given me victory
all along the wav.

terday and a part of today. IIis

of the great improvement since

PIANO AUCTION
On Monday Mr. R. E. Everitt,
the /well known furniture man,
concluded his first novel piano auc¬
tion sale, where each individual
was auctioneer and bidder.
About 80 bids were made on the
piano which Mr. Everitt had of¬
fered to the highest and De9t bid¬
der, and the amounts bid had a
considerable range,
A committee composed of Messrs.
E. W. Fowler, John L. Stephenson,
and C. R. Hawk opened the sealed
bids and compared the various
offers, and when their duties were
completed it was found tbat Mr.
J. L. Epps was the highest and
best bidder, and the handsome
piano was awarded to him and
almost at half its regular selling
price.
This navel means of calling pub¬
lic attention to the Schultz piano
has proven successful, and it is
safe to say that hereafter this
splendid article will be better
known in this section thau it has
ever bean before.

The paper was planned and is
published by Prof. H. B. Robert¬
son and the students of this excel¬

first issue was filled with a fine
liLe of advertising mutter and in¬
teresting articles from the stu¬

Professor Robertson, the head of
this institution, is a progressive
